coincidentally, i am in the process of buying a house exactly one block beyond the pre-war urban core of metro st. louis. i chose it because it's a solid mid-century modern house, but it's the exact next block beyond a 1930s neighborhood of classic apartment buildings and a traditional little neighborhood urban strip. the boundary of the "city" though is right there (it's in a generally pre-war suburb called university city, mo), the old streetcar line ran about 4-5 short blocks north, and they only developed 3-4 short blocks to the north of it before world war two. this is about the 7800 block, where the urban core ends. that's about 9 miles west from the riverfront where the city begins. that sounds quite far, but the urban core is a little more expansive than many regions of the same size (the population was higher than boston in 1940).
