Boundaries of North City and South City (University City, Clayton: employment, neighborhoods)

[Ball freak]

In my opinion North City is anything north of Delmar, and South City is anything south of I-44. In between is mid city.

[STLCityMike]

what you referred to as Mid City is the Central Corridor (which includes a few of the inner burbs also .. Clayton, Richmond Heights .. Brentwood).

I agree, but I've never considered the inner burbs to be part of the Central Corridor. That's Mid County. Realistically, though, they should be.

People have explained that Central Corridor was the area between 44 and Delmar. Northside is north of Delmar and Southside is south of 44.

I think one of the biggest improvements that has been made over the last 20 years was connecting Richmond Heights, Brentwood and Clayton to Central West End and Downtown. It makes commuting between the prime employment areas and the highly desirable neighborhoods seamless. It's like Clayton and University City is part of the Central Corridor now.

Definitely. When I moved here almost 10 years ago, I had no idea that University City & Clayton were separate cities!

What would have been awesome is if Brentwood, Richmond Heights could have gone TOD with their new development. I think I would actually consider the suburbs if that would have happened.

Officially, the central corridor is between I-44 to Delmar, as the OP notes. Personally, the I-44 distinction doesn't make sense to me though. The rail corridor really severs most of the central corridor from its southern neighborhoods. For example, driving south down Grand, it's a half mile of viaduct between the southern edge of SLU's main campus at Forest Park Parkway all the way down to Chouteau.

Neighborhoods like Lafayette Square, LaSalle Park, the Gate District, Tiffany, and McRee seem much more linked to their South City neighbors than the central corridor.

I agree.

I would argue the boundaries of North County to be anything north of Page and South County anything south of 44. West County would be anything along or west of Ballas/270.
