The Central West End is where the WashU (Washington University in St. Louis) Medical Campus lives, which makes it the neighborhood of choice for med and nursing students, plus anyone doing research at the hospital complex. It's also just a great neighborhood: Euclid Avenue cafes, Forest Park across the street, a Metrolink stop that runs straight to the Danforth campus.
Below is the live CWE inventory with commute context and reviews from students. If you're Danforth-based, mind the distance. The CWE is a train or bike commute to main campus, not a walk.
What students actually ask
How do CWE residents get to the Danforth campus?
Metrolink is the usual answer, since the Central West End station connects toward the Danforth campus stops in minutes. Biking through Forest Park is the popular fair-weather alternative, and driving is easy too. If you'll be on the main campus daily, weigh that commute against just living near the Loop.
How much do CWE apartments cost?
The CWE runs near the top of the WashU market, second only to Clayton among the main student neighborhoods in Zillow's rent data. High-rise buildings on and near Euclid typically cost the most, while older buildings on the side streets can come in lower.
Who should live in the CWE?
Medical campus people first and foremost, because being able to walk to the hospital complex changes your life during rotations. Beyond that, grad students and anyone who'd rather have a real city neighborhood with restaurants and Forest Park at the door than a college-street scene.
Is the CWE good for undergrads?
t can be. The Central West End works best for WashU undergrads who are comfortable commuting to the Danforth Campus and want a more urban neighborhood with restaurants, apartments, and MetroLink nearby. It’s especially convenient if you spend time at the WashU Medical Campus, but Danforth students should compare the commute before signing
