Featuring 1951 Arsenal St.
If you’ve ever taken an afternoon stroll down Arsenal Street, you know the feeling — the kind of Old St. Louis charm that hits you the moment you pass those red-brick façades, wrought-iron fences, rolling hills and lakesand the smell of coffee drifting from a nearby corner café.
That’s what life at 1951 Arsenal Street is all about — being part of a neighborhood where every block tells a story.
🍃 Welcome to Benton Park — A Hidden Gem with a Soul
Benton Park isn’t just one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. Louis — it’s one of the most beloved. Tucked between Soulard and Tower Grove East, this community has that rare mix of historic beauty, creative energy, and small-town friendliness that makes people stay for decades.
You’ll find artists restoring century-old homes, young professionals walking dogs past the park pond, and neighbors chatting on stoops with cold iced tea in hand. Benton Park has a way of slowing life down — without ever feeling boring.
The centerpiece, of course, is Benton Park itself — a lush green escape dating back to the 1860s, where ducks gather on the lake and joggers circle under the shade of mature trees. The park is also home to community picnics, concerts, and that Sunday-morning peace that money can’t buy.
Benton Park isn’t the kind of neighborhood you just move into — it’s one you become a part of.
☕ A Neighborhood Built on Flavor and Community
One of the best parts about living at 1951 Arsenal St. is how walkable it is. You can grab breakfast at Benton Park Café, some world famous fried chicken at Hodak’s, or enjoy happy hour on the patio at Venice Café — all without ever getting in the car.
Just a few blocks away, you’ll find the legendary Blue’s City Deli, known for its live music and line-out-the-door sandwiches. And if you love vintage shopping or local art, the Cherokee Street Arts District is a short walk or bike ride away.
From Benton Park Concert Series, to the labor day Gateway Cup criterium cycling race, its craft breweries, farmers markets, dog parks and cozy brunch spots, this pocket of the city gives you all the culture of urban living — without losing that friendly, front-porch neighborhood feeling.
