Straight from the pages of a 19th century history book, Lafayette Square drips in Victorian charm and architectural splendor. What may very well be the most beautiful neighborhood in St. Louis city, one truly must spend a day strolling its cobblestone streets and boutique shops in order to appreciate its magnificence.

Anchored by the 30-acre Lafayette Park and just five minute from city staples like Busch Stadium and the historic Soulard Farmer's Market, life in Lafayette Square is as all-encompassing as it gets.

Since 1970, the Lafayette Square Restoration Committee has worked tirelessly to restore and maintain the Victorian charm of the area's homes. For a true peek at life in Lafayette Square consider attending the neighborhood's annual Holiday Tour, a rare opportunity to explore the meticulously maintained homes while under the twinkle of holiday lights.
