There are between 750 and 800 separate homes, apartment buildings, condominium buildings and businesses in this area. There is a fire house, a school, a bank and many other business establishments. The area is mostly residential in nature. There is a location of the locally owned Schnucks supermarket chain and a St. Louis Bread Company bakery cafe in the area. Around the corner from the Hi-Pointe theater stands a now-empty building that used to house a Del Taco and a Naugles before that, but the restaurant is now out of business.
