Downtown St. Louis Residents Association

The Downtown St. Louis Residents' Association (DSLRA) is an active and growing group of over 100 neighbors living (approximately) east of Jefferson Avenue, north of Hwy. 40/I-64 and south of Delmar Blvd. Oh – and west of the Mississippi River. 

While some have lived downtown for decades, most of our members have been in their current homes for less than five years, "pioneering" downtown living in St. Louis - just like you.  We are renters and owners, 20-somethings and empty nesters who have decided that downtown is the freshest, most interesting neighborhood in the St. Louis region.   And everybody in between.

DSLRA is widely recognized by civic leaders as the residential voice of downtown St. Louis.  Our Alderwomen, Phyllis Young and Kacie Starr-Triplett, are in active dialog with DSLRA, as is St. Louis' Police Chief Joe Mokwa and Mayor Francis Slay.  These leaders regularly attend our quarterly, group-wide meetings, which draw 50-100 neighbors.

 
Like downtown, DSLRA is growing and changing to meet the needs of new residents. We currently sponsor both civic and social events. This year the organization has been instrumental in initiating neighborhood safety programs.  And we are constantly looking for new ways to be of value to new neighbors – so bring your ideas to us.

 
You live downtown now.  We're like you.
