"Great place to live and raise a family"

Pacific is a quiet town approximatly 30 minutes out of Saint Louis right off of Highway 44. Pacific is know as a train town, with trains passing through almost every 15 minutes. The Meramec River also flows through Pacific. The public school district is wonderful there are many school facilities close including several Elementary buildings, Middle School, High School, and the Community School for special Ed and preschool students. If public school does not attract you there is also a private Catholic School in the city limits, St. Bridgets. During the Summer there's an annual car show and tractor show. During the summer there are usually mud runs which attract large crouds. On Highway O/First Street there is a local ice cream store Gene's Corner, several local bars, and a flower shop.

"Great place for shopping."

Manchester road runs all the way from down town Saint Louis into the county. Along Manchester road there are many shopping centers and resturaunts. There is a recently updated shopping mall. I wouldn't recommend living off of Manchester road because of the high volume of traffic but it's great for shopping. You can find almost any store you desire to go to from car dealerships, discount army shopping, clothing stores, bikes, and furniture you can find it all on Manchester Road.

"Great place for businesses."

Clayton Ave. is mostly businesses. It also runs through Forest Park and the Saint Louis Science Center. Clayton Ave. is typically very busy during the week and is close to several hospitals. If you're looking for something to eat steer clear of Clayton Ave. there are no restaurants on most of this street.

"Great place for raising a family"

If you're looking for a great place to raise a family that's close to the city this is a perfect area. There is direct access to several major highways 270/255 and highway 50. There are several shopping centers for groceries near by. The South County Mall is also within a mile. The neighborhood is very clean and safe. Tthe only down fall of this street is the fact that it runs parallel to the highway and noise level is high when you're sitting outside.

"Busy Busy Busy great innter city living."

South Kingshighway Boulevaurd is a very busy street with people driving extremely fast. It has recently been repaved and they are creating more lanes near the hospitals. It has quick access to Highways I-44 and I40/64. It is also home to Forest Park and two of the largest hospitals in the nation BJC and Saint Louis Childrens Hospital. This is a great place for young professionals and couples to live. Kingshighway has many areas that are "up and coming." It is also close to the Central West End which offers a lot of resturants, banking, and shopping.

"Not so safe"

Natural Bridge is commonly associated with north city and being in the "ghetto." There is a lot of gang violence on portions of Natural Bridge along with run down homes and businesses. Many of the buildings are filled with grafiti and sidewalks are in poor conditions with broken glass alongside the road. Natural Bridge is also known for Fair Ground park. During the Summer on Sunday's it is traditional for "car shows." There are always crouds of fixed up older and new cars driving up and down the street. Many also park on the side of the street to watch all of the cars go by.

"Great place for a family"

There's a lot of rush hour traffic on this street because it is mostly residential. The location is great. There are a lot of resturaunts and grocery stores on Telegraph. People in the area are generally very nice. This is a very clean area with low crime rate. There have been recent upgrades to the street closer to the highway as far as increasing the amount of lanes, repaving, and adding stop lights.

"Noisy, busy street filled with action."

South Grand is filled with a lot of young adults. There is a campus located off of South Grand for St. Louis University. The area is filled with apartment complexes for students. If you don't have a car there is a buss that runs down Grand every 15 minutes. There's a wide variety of restaurants to eat at on Grand and also places of entertainment such as the Fox Theater. I would recommend this area to other young adults looking for a safe place to live within the city.
