Ellendale sits on the western edge of St. Louis, a pocket of tree‑lined blocks and classic brick architecture that feels residential yet connected. With the independent storefronts of Maplewood just down Manchester and the quiet, walkable streets near Franz Park, daily errands and weekend coffee runs are wonderfully convenient. For a deeper look at its history, boundaries, and demographics, the City’s official neighborhood profile is a helpful starting point.
Outdoorsy? Forest Park’s museums, trails, and meadows are an easy hop, putting marquee destinations like the Saint Louis Zoo within quick reach; explore the park’s latest events and projects through Forest Park Forever. Commuters appreciate direct access to I‑44 and Manchester Avenue, reliable bus routes, and proximity to the Maplewood–Manchester MetroLink station, with schedules and maps available via Metro Transit.
Families find options through St. Louis Public Schools, plus a mix of nearby early‑childhood centers and parochial campuses. Housing spans well‑kept bungalows, two‑families, and thoughtfully updated singles, often with alley parking and generous backyards—ideal for gardeners, pets, and evening get‑togethers. Neighbors look out for each other here, and you’ll notice tidy porches, block‑by‑block pride, and a steady hum of improvement projects.
