Expertly laid out, historically significant and architecturally awe-inspiring: Compton Heights is a St. Louis neighborhood worth wandering aimlessly through, whether it be by foot, car or bicycle.
Like a beacon signal for those exiting highway 44, let the towering Compton Hill Water Tower usher you into this unique, 200-home neighborhood. It should be noted that Compton Heights is one of the city's earliest examples of residential planning, specifically designed "to view nature as neighbor not as an enemy to be subjugated by some rectilinear grid." With gracefully curved streets and Victorian ambiance, words almost can't do it justice. Go, see for yourself!
