About this CityHub guideCompact brick-home neighborhood with strong Italian-American civic identity.
The Hill is a compact South City neighborhood known for brick homes, a long-established Italian-American community, public spaces, churches, and small commercial streets.
The Hill had 2,487 residents and 1,466 housing units in the 2020 Census. Its compact street grid contains mostly older brick homes, neighborhood institutions, parks, and small businesses. The area has a strong local identity, but most regional trips still require driving and older homes may require close inspection for condition and systems. CityHub does not show a neighborhood-level home price or rent estimate because the official neighborhood Census source does not publish one.

How it scores
CityHub estimates, not official scores. Some ratings are generated from community characteristics.
Is The Hill a good fit?
The Hill pairs an established residential neighborhood with a recognizable restaurant district. If that combination appeals, compare homes by the walk to your favorite destinations and the kind of street you want to live on.
Parking pressure near popular restaurants and events can vary by block. Visit a candidate street during a busy meal period and test its routes to Kingshighway, Hampton or I-44 before assuming easy access.
Does this fit your actual move?
Compare The Hill against your budget, commute, and priorities—or ask about a specific address.
What does housing cost here?
Published Census estimates provide broad context where a reliable community-level figure is available. Check current homes or rentals for actual prices.
Price is only part of the monthly payment
For a specific home, also account for the interest rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, utilities, and condition. That’s why two homes with the same price tag can still cost very different amounts every month.
Commute & getting around
Kingshighway, Hampton, I-44, Arsenal, and Southwest Avenue provide broad access. Parking pressure rises near popular restaurants and events.
Which schools serve this address?
The address—not the city name—determines the schools
The Hill is part of St. Louis Public Schools, where the address determines neighborhood assignments while magnet schools require a separate application. Families also commonly examine charter and private schools across south city; St. Ambrose Catholic School is located within The Hill itself. The useful comparison is therefore not a fictional “Hill school district,” but the assigned SLPS path versus application-based alternatives, including tuition, transportation and enrollment deadlines.
