A neighborhood that has it all
Clayton, Missouri, is one of St. Louis County’s most sought-after communities, and for good reason. The neighborhood perfectly captures the city’s unusual combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re a property investor looking for a stable market or a renter searching for convenience and quality of life, this area offers a lifestyle that’s difficult to match.
Clayton Stands Out
Located just west of St. Louis City, Clayton is the county seat and a hub for business, culture, and education. With its walkable streets, upscale dining, and access to world-class parks, the neighborhood appeals to both professionals and families. Living here means you’re minutes from Forest Park, Washington University, and a variety of retail and entertainment options.
For property owners, Clayton’s consistent demand and low vacancy rates make it an attractive investment market. Homes and rentals in 63105 tend to hold value well, thanks to the area’s strong school district, safe streets, and vibrant community life.
Step outside and you’re in the heart of everything Clayton has to offer. Coffee shops and cafés line the nearby streets, perfect for morning meetings or weekend brunch. Fine dining restaurants like those along Wydown Boulevard offer elevated cuisine, while casual spots provide quick and tasty options. Grocery stores, fitness centers, and boutique shops are all within a short drive or walk. The neighborhood’s parks are another standout feature. Shaw Park, Clayton’s largest green space, offers swimming, tennis, ice skating, and seasonal events that bring the community together. The leafy sidewalks and tree-lined streets make daily walks or runs both scenic and enjoyable.

The Hanley MetroLink station is nearby, offering quick and affordable transit to downtown St. Louis, Lambert International Airport, and beyond. Easy access to major highways like I-64/40 and I-170 means you can be across town or across the region within minutes.
For commuters, this location is ideal: you’re close enough to St. Louis’s central business districts for convenience but far enough to enjoy the quieter, more residential vibe Clayton is known for.
Clayton residents take pride in their city. Community programs, seasonal festivals, and neighborhood events foster a welcoming atmosphere. The Clayton School District consistently ranks among Missouri’s top, further driving demand for homes in the area.
For property owners, this means stable rental income and strong long-term appreciation potential. For residents, it means you’re part of a community that values quality living, safety, and connection.
Whether you’re walking to your favorite café, catching a train to work, or enjoying a summer evening in Shaw Park, living here means being at the center of one of St. Louis County’s premier communities.
