The area is home to Washington University in St. Louis, whose campus and medical center sit just minutes away, lending the community an academic and intellectual character that many families find reassuring. For medical coordination, Monarch Springs benefits enormously from its proximity to some of the region's finest hospitals. Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Washington University Medical Center—consistently ranked among the top medical institutions in the country—are located just east of University City. Missouri Baptist Medical Center in Town and Country is also easily accessible, as is SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. The surrounding neighborhoods offer beautiful tree-lined streets, Heman Park with its aquatic center and green space, and the Centennial Greenway trail system ideal for family walks. Nearby Clayton provides additional upscale dining and cultural amenities.
