While the McRee Town boundaries are strictly Vandeventer Avenue to the west, Choteau Avenue to the north, 39th Street to the east and I-44 to the south, only its 12 core residential blocks are in the area targeted by redevelopment plans. These are bounded by Tower Grove Avenue on the west, Folsom Avenue on the north, 39th Street on the east and Lafayette Avenue on the south.

The six blocks east of of Thurman are the blocks that the Garden District Commission is clearing completely for the "Botannical Heights" project. The six blocks west of Thurman are part of a second phase of redevelopment. No one is certain how much of those blocks' buildings will survive.
