Skinker DeBaliviere is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods and is one of the best places to live in Saint Louis. Skinker DeBaliviere is nestled next to Forest Park, the site of the 1907 World’s Fair, but is also adjacent to the Washington University in Saint Louis campus. Forest Park is also home to the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, the Missouri History Museum, and more. This historic neighborhood merges the old and new, juxtaposing ornate early 20th-century style houses and sleek modern apartments available for rent. Similar to its name, Skinker DeBaliviere is certainly unique. The neighborhood is a quirky, park-like locale with a vibrant culture and diverse, close-knit community. Residents don’t have to go far for amenities and many head to the north to Delmar Boulevard, home of the Delmar Loop, a bustling dining, entertainment, and nightlife hub. For even more options, Downtown Saint Louis is only 15 minutes away.
