Delmar Loop / University City

The Delmar Loop is one of St. Louis’ most iconic districts, celebrated for its cultural character, music scene, and nonstop energy. It’s a place where students, families, and visitors all cross paths, giving the neighborhood a constant sense of activity.

  • Foodies: Corner 17 draws crowds with its hand-pulled noodles and bubble tea, while local institution Blueberry Hill has long been a gathering spot for burgers, live music, and pop culture nostalgia. Delmar Boulevard’s many restaurants serving international cuisine, ranging from Mediterranean to Thai, provide a dining scene that spans the globe.
  • Outdoor Enthusiasts: Just minutes from Forest Park, the neighborhood provides residents with quick access to trails, golf courses, and open green spaces in one of the country’s largest urban parks. Tree-lined sidewalks, murals, and public art make the Loop a place best experienced on foot.
  • Shoppers: The Loop’s mix of independent boutiques, record stores, and artisan shops adds to the neighborhood’s distinct character. It’s a place where browsing often leads to unexpected finds.
