The community of Des Peres offers primarily single-family residences that contrast older ranch homes with newer luxury custom home estates. Several vintage properties throughout the charming neighborhoods are registered historic sites. The rapid suburban growth that followed World War II is evident in Des Peres, particularly in the many subdivisions that sprang up from 1970 to 1980. Approximately one-quarter of the homes in Des Peres were constructed after 1980, resulting in a pleasing blend of architectural styles and price ranges. Bounded by Kirkwood, Frontenac, and Town and Country, the community is ideally located to provide commuting ease to all corners of the metropolitan area via major thoroughfares including Interstate 270. Recognized as an ideal family community, Des Peres is home to beautiful parks as well as handsome retail development. Smaller shopping plazas are complemented by the department stores and specialty shops of Westfield Shoppingtown West County Mall that draw customers from across the region. The area's rich agricultural heritage is still evident today in the thriving floral industry that serves a significant portion of the floral needs of Greater St. Louis and the state of Missouri.
