Clifton Heights is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri located near the southwest border of the city and highlighted by a park — Clifton Heights Park (38°36′51″N 90°17′30″W / 38.6143°N 90.2916°W) — with a playground and a lake. Bounded on the west and north by I-44, on the east by Hampton Avenue, and on the south by Arsenal Street, Clifton Heights is in the 4th ward of the City of St. Louis. Its current representative on the city's Board of Aldermen is Bret Narayan. Its adjacent neighborhoods are Ellendale to the north and west, the Hill and Southwest Garden to the east, and Lindenwood Park to the south.
The neighborhood is mostly residential, with houses of styles that include Queen Anne, bungalow, Colonial Revival, American Foursquare, Prairie School, and Tudor Revival. The curving streets surrounding the park and the hills that slope downward toward I-44 are somewhat unusual for St. Louis and give the neighborhood a distinctive appearance.
