Parkview is known as an "urban oasis" with its curving tree-lined streets, parks, and neighborhood seasonal events, (concerts, winter carriage rides, cook-offs, food trucks, Easter egg hunts and a petting zoo). This vibrant community is within walking distance of Washington University, Forest Park, popular restaurants, shops, and two MetroLink stations. Parkview is on the National Historic registry.
