The Southampton Neighborhood (SoHa) is a peaceful, charming 1-square mile neighborhood of tree-lined streets featuring a variety of housing styles, friendly plant-filled porches, art glass and hardwood floors.
A vibrant business district along Macklind Avenue provides an attractive “Main Street” commercial component to compliment the residential character of the area. Within walking distance are cafés, delis, restaurants, art studio and gallery, live theatre, banks, grocery stores, florists, dry cleaners, hair salons, fitness and wellness centers, professional offices, auto repair, parks, a library and churches.
Southampton was voted the #1 Place to Live in the St. Louis Metro Area by the Riverfront Times editorial staff in 2009 and is rated as one of the top residential choices for families in the 25-35 age bracket according to the United States Census.
Another great advantage to Southampton living is low crime, watchful and friendly neighbors, and convenience to public transportation, St. Louis' world-class cultural institutions and Forest Park.
