A clearer next step for your University City home.
University City homes range from early-1900s Tudor Revival, Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts houses in University Heights to bungalows and postwar ranches in the north and older apartment buildings near the Delmar Loop. Whatever you own, Doorbloom helps you explore your options with real estate professionals at your own pace.
Most of University City's housing dates to the early and mid-1900s, and much of it is built in brick, stone or stucco. University Heights is an early planned subdivision listed on the National Register, with Tudor Revival, Queen Anne, Shingle Style and Arts and Crafts homes on large, tree-lined lots. Parkview Gardens near the Loop mixes bungalows, Tudor and Georgian Revival homes with older apartment buildings and small multi-family properties.
University Hills holds larger historic homes from the 1920s and 1930s, while North Central leans toward bungalows and single-level ranches from the 1940s through the 1960s. Some private subdivisions have their own rules and governance. Because the city requires an occupancy inspection before a new occupant moves in, it helps to describe the home honestly: roof age, basement and foundation condition, older wiring or plumbing, past repairs, subdivision rules and any open inspection items.

Can I sell a house that needs work?

Do I have to accept anything?
No. You can review interest, ask questions, and walk away at any point. You decide if and when to move forward.
How can I check property taxes or recorded liens on a University City home?
Property tax balances are handled by the St. Louis County Collector of Revenue, and recorded documents like deeds and liens by the St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds. Links to both are in the official resources section on this page.
Do I need an occupancy inspection to sell my University City home?
University City requires an inspection and occupancy permit before anyone moves into a home, and the city strongly advises sellers to request an occupancy inspection before selling. The inspection is handled by the city's Planning and Development department at City Hall. For current fees, steps or questions about an inherited home, it's best to contact that department directly.
