Des Peres Real Estate

The featured community of Des Peres offers a wide array of businesses, parks, churches, schools, community programs and above all beautiful real estate. The name "Des Peres" (meaning "of the fathers") is French in origin which surprises people since it was settled largely by German immigrants and southerners from Virginia. The first settlers brought with them a love of flowers that developed into a blooming floral industry which continues to hold a presence today with the Tomasovic and Eckelmann greenhouses. It's easy to fall in love with this historic and floral city.
