About this Neighborhood

Tower Grove South, once known as Oak Hill and built up along old streetcar lines, has an outsized appetite for play — a striking 18 courts make it one of the most recreation-heavy pockets around. Its eight restaurants keep quality high, led by Songbird, the Tree House Vegetarian Restaurant, and the cult-favorite Steve's Hot Dogs. Foursquare regulars fill in a sports-and-social picture: pizzerias, sports bars, pubs and burger joints line the commercial stretches along Grand and Morganford. Three parks add to the green, active feel, sketching a neighborhood where a pickup game and a good meal are never far apart.
