One of the Gateway City’s largest historic community

Restaurants • Shopping • Great Location • Historic • Outdoors •

Also known simply as Dutchtown or the Dutch, Dutchtown South is one of the largest historic neighborhoods in the city. In fact, Dutchtown is so large that it even has its own “downtown” district. Downtown Dutchtown is located along Meramec Street, a long strip of eclectic restaurants and shops. Small parks anchor the northeast portion of Dutchtown South, making it easy to get outdoors and take in some sunshine away from your apartment mere blocks from the mighty Mississippi River. Marquette Park features a playground, recreational fields, and an outdoor swimming pool for hot, summer days. Laclede Park contains mature trees perfect for a walk in the fall time during peak color changes. This diverse, quaint neighborhood has a variety of affordable and moderately priced rentals including charming brick bungalows, townhomes, and apartments. Even though Dutchtown is packed with amenities, residents also enjoy proximity to some South City’s trendiest neighborhoods, Tower Grove South, Gravois Park, and Benton Park which border Dutchtown to the north. Downtown Saint Louis is only five miles away.

I live near Compton/Gasconade. The crime is TERRIBLE lately! Lots of shootings in/near Marquette park... even in the daytime while kids are playing there. I've had a bullet come through my window. It's just TERRIBLE!

I'd like to see law enforcement patrol the neighborhood. I think this would result in a reduced crime rate. I really like the diversity of my neighbors.
