Kirkwood

Bowing to its one-time moniker as the “queen of the suburbs,” Kirkwood continues to exude a royal attitude that’s evolved into good old-fashioned small town charm. Families flock here to take advantage of great schools, an abundance of churches and a neighborly existence, while visitors and residents take advantage of the assorted shopping, dining and family-friendly entertainment options, most within walking distance of the center square. Famous for its farmers’ market and historic train station, this community is rife with fun and entertainment for the whole family.
