University City Missouri Information
University City Missouri, so named because of its proximity to the renowned Washington University, was founded by Edward G. Lewis with the hope that this city would be known for its culture and learning. His unique octagon-shaped publishing company office building still stands and is today the location of City Hall. Beautiful historic homes set in park-like surroundings with varying lot sizes, a great mix of architectural style and size, was also Lewis’s idea of adding beauty to the city.
University City is known for its cultural diversity. “The Loop” is an exciting downtown area where this diversity is played out on a daily basis. Writers, artists and musicians, as well as students from around the world, live and work here. Plus, the one-of-a-kind restaurants, shops, galleries, and entertainment spots all add to its unique atmosphere.
University City is also family-orientated and its residents experience a wonderful quality of life. Great private and public schools, a large public library, many churches and synagogues, a golf course, a community center and swimming pool, parks and athletic fields all make University City an appealing place to live.
