Metropolitan Portfolio
The epicenter of St. Louis culture and sophistication—a refined metropolis for the modern bohemian.
Imagine a district where Gilded Age mansions stand in effortless conversation with progressive urban energy. The Central West End (CWE) is an eclectic cocktail of old-world masonry and trend-setting spirit. It serves as the vital cultural bridge between the serene, 1,300-acre Forest Park and the Washington University Medical Campus.
As outlined in our 2026 St. Louis Market Analysis, the CWE remains one of the city's most resilient investment hubs. The neighborhood offers a duality of choice: the historic grand masonry of Portland Place or the low-maintenance, "lock-and-leave" luxury of high-rise living near the Cortex Innovation Community.
The Social Scene
CWE living centers on a "foodie paradise." Feast your senses at Brennan’s or Brasserie by Niche. Experience farm-to-table excellence at Bowood by Niche, where a lush botanical setting meets five-star cuisine.
The Intellectual Hub
From the 14-foot chess piece at the World Chess Hall of Fame to the Hollywood glamour of The Chase Park Plaza, the CWE is a shrine to visual and intellectual ingenuity.
