The houses
A wide spread of ages, from older houses in the Kirkwood Historic District near the station to mid-century and newer homes farther out. Expect wood fascia on many of them, and big additions that may have changed how a roof drains.
The trees
Kirkwood is proud of its trees, and its Greentree Festival has raised money to replace park trees. Shade like that means seeds, leaves and small twigs, and damp gutters that stay wet longer.
Ground and water
Rolling ground, with bluffs above the Meramec at the far southern edge. On slopes, check where water ends up, because it can reach a neighbor or a retaining wall quickly.
Worth checking
- If the house has an addition, check that new and old roof sections drain to enough downspouts.
- Look at fascia under the shade of big trees, where wood stays damp longer.
- Check that hillside discharge doesn't reach a retaining wall or a neighbor.
- Ask about guards if ladder work is awkward and tree cover is heavy.
Permits
Kirkwood has its own city government, so ask city hall about permits and historic-district questions before work starts.
