University City is located in St. Louis County, just north of Clayton, northeast of Ladue and west of the Central West End.
Named “University City” for its proximity to Washington University, U. City (as it's known in STL) is known for its Delmar Loop, full of unique restaurants, shops and excellent music venues.
For many condo purchases, lenders now need a more comprehensive look at the condo project itself, including factors such as its financial health, reserves and potential property condition concerns.
Translation: a beautiful unit may not be the only thing standing between you and loan approval.
Just south of Ladue & Clayton, Missouri is the suburb of Brentwood. Its proximity to restaurants, shopping, event venues and some of St. Louis' best parks make it a popular choice for young families and empty-nesters alike! The city was voted #1 Best Place to Live in Missouri for 2026 by Niche.com!
