Niche Reviews Niche logo

Located in the southern tip of St. Louis eight miles from downtown, the historic neighborhood of Patch sits between the River des Peres and the Mississippi River. This friendly, close-knit community features many Creole-style cottages and homes for rent, some dating back to the 1800s. Walking through this area feels like stepping back in time to the early beginnings of the city. Patch residents can enjoy a night at the theater by catching a show at the renovated historic Ivory Theatre at Fanetti Plaza. Before settling into your seat, stop by Stacked STL to create your own burger or snack on Bavarian pretzels. On weekends, take a walk to the Carondelet Diner for a hearty breakfast or check out one of the local bands playing at the Halfway Haus.

This is a quaint, vintage area of the City that enjoys a wonderful mix of some of the oldest homes in this area. The area is safe, comfortable, filled with wonderful neighbors, and very affordable because it is a small pocket that is not well known. We love our 1913 Craftsman home nestled atop a hill alongside Victorians and mid-century homes. One block away is a home built in the 18th century, and in the other direction a gorgeous historic home on Davis. Love our home here a mere 4 to 5 blocks from the Mississippi.
