Pacific, MO got its name from pretty interesting beginnings--it's where a new railroad began, with its destination being the Pacific Ocean!
Despite its name, Pacific, MO is nowhere close to an ocean. However, that doesn't mean it lacks a number of great reasons to live there. Pacific is a small city located in the Franklin and St. Louis counties in Missouri. The population is just over 7,000, making it a great size to live in. It was started in 1852, it was originally known as Franklin, but was renamed shortly thereafter once the railroad laid tracks in town. It borders the Pacific Palisades Conservation Area, which provides access to the beautiful Meramec River. The historic Union Pacific railroad runs through town, as does the well-known Route 66, commonly known as Main Street of America, so it's true that Pacific embodies the true spirit of the middle of America. Pacific is located in the eastern part of Missouri, with 5.92 square miles of land and 0.01 square miles of water. See more
Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Pacific apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.
Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.
Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.
If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.
Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.
Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.
Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
