Hi Pointe

Hi-Pointe is a tree-lined neighborhood where early 20th-century brick and stone residences—from modest bungalows to substantial Tudor Revival and Prairie-influenced homes—cluster around a walkable commercial corridor anchored by the beloved Hi-Pointe Drive-In, a neon-signed remnant of mid-century Americana. The district captures a particular moment in St. Louis's urban development, balancing residential charm with the casual, car-centric commerce of the 1950s, and its vintage storefronts and well-maintained homes offer rich subject matter for anyone drawn to authentic neighborhood character and the layered history of everyday American streets.
