Southwest Garden Homes
Southwest Garden is a large neighborhood just west of the Missouri Botanical Garden. The boundaries are Interstate-44 and Columbia Avenue on the North; Tower Grove Park, Connecticut and Scanlan Avenues on the South; Hampton Avenue on the west; and Tower Grove Avenue on the east. Southwest Garden is composed of several diverse sections that include large and gracious private homes, some of the City’s Butterflymost architecturally significant apartment buildings, as well as tidy bungalows.
Today, you will find a variety of homes throughout the neighborhood, including four-room "shotgun" houses, large frame houses and townhomes, brick and frame bungalows. A few two- and four-families are interspersed throughout. As in many city neighborhoods, Southwest Garden has seen renewed interest in its residences and businesses. New comers and former residents returned to rehab once neglected houses, rent owner-occupied flats, start a small business and revitalize the neighborhood.
