About Webster Groves, Missouri
Webster Groves is a city in St. Louis County covering 5.91 square miles, about 2 miles west of the St. Louis city limits. About 76% of homes are owner-occupied and about 79% are single-family detached.
This is old housing stock. The median home was built in 1952, about 35% were built before 1940, and about 75% were built before 1970. Only about 5% of homes were built in 2000 or later. For buyers that means character and established streets, with the condition and updates of each house worth weighing into the price.
The Census estimates the median value of an owner-occupied home at about $387,600, and median household income at about $115,200. Those are Census estimates for all owner-occupied homes, not a record of what sold.
63119 covers about 99% of the city by land area. Small slivers fall in 63144, 63143, 63126 and 63122, so a ZIP boundary is not the city line.

Schools Serving Webster Groves
Webster Groves is served by the Webster Groves School District, which covers all of Webster Groves and Rock Hill and parts of Warson Woods, Glendale and Shrewsbury. One district serves the whole city, but which schools a home feeds depends on the address.
District schools: Webster Groves High School, Hixson Middle School, and Avery, Bristol, Clark, Givens, Edgar Road and Hudson elementary schools, plus the Walter Ambrose Family Center. Givens and Hudson carry Rock Hill addresses.
The district’s enroll page links a Maps and Boundaries interactive map rather than an address-entry lookup box, so plan on calling to confirm. Quoted from that page: “Please contact the Student Services Office at 314-961-1233 if you have questions or concerns.” District central office: 400 E. Lockwood Ave, Webster Groves, MO 63119.
