St. Louis Region
The Hill is an official neighborhood layer
The City's neighborhood pages and map define The Hill by specific streets, so the name is an official geography as well as a cultural shorthand.
The Hill is easy to describe as a restaurant district, but the City also treats it as a mapped neighborhood. The City neighborhood page generally defines it by Manchester on the north, Southwest Avenue and Columbia on the south, Kingshighway on the east, and Hampton on the west.
That matters because St. Louis neighborhood names show up in planning, association, development, and address conversations. A buyer, renter, or visitor should not rely only on a casual label or a business district nickname.
Use the City’s neighborhood page and planning map when the exact boundary matters. Then use restaurant, parish, school, or association sources for more specific cultural history, since those details can sit inside the official neighborhood layer without being the same thing as the boundary.
