Central West End

Imagine the endless possibilities of a neighborhood that offers residents the chance to imagine, create, explore, unwind and dream. The CWE - where the familiar moniker of Eat, Play, Shop is too bland a description for this vibrant, elegant, diverse and eclectic neighborhood where you can meander down tree-shaded streets lined with iconic winged griffin lamp posts, flowers, and stunning historic homes that date back to the 1904 World’s Fair in Forest Park.

Located just west of downtown, the pedestrian-friendly Central West End is nestled between Forest Park and the Saint Louis University campus. Nearby are the Washington University School of Medicine, the BJC Healthcare campus, the St. Louis College of Pharmacy and the Cortex Innovation Community, a national leader in tech startups.

The CWE business district stretches just under a mile on Euclid and provides the perfect set-up for walking its entire length. The district is home to more than 75 restaurants, bars and businesses that will satisfy any vacation to-do list. From downtown take the MetroLink light rail to the Central West End station.
