Residents find the space they need in Pacific
While the neighborhood of Pacific is technically a city located southwest of St. Louis, its residents would not call it a city nor would they call it a typical neighborhood. What most would call it is deep country. The total area covers about 10 square miles and about 7,400 people call Pacific home. Other than in the the small, historic downtown area that borders the Meramec River, most homes in Pacific are far apart from each other. There is no city life to speak of and residents will drive at least 40 minutes to reach downtown St. Louis.
Angela Dillmon, Realtor with Keller Williams, and a real estate agent for more than 35 years describes its appeal, “Pacific is a place for people who do not want to live in a subdivision. Folks here just want space.” As land is competitively priced compared to towns closer to St. Louis, people who buy in Pacific often purchase homes with 5, 10 and even 20 acres. “We have residents with horses, people who breed dogs and many who garden. At the same time, others don’t grow or raise anything, they just want to enjoy the peace and quiet and their own private space.”
Newcomers to Pacific will find a variety of home sizes and styles.

From log cabins to estate homes
While there are few subdivisions in Pacific, the area has seen an uptick in new home construction. But they’re spread across the area and are on several acres. As Dillmon explains, “Pacific defines rural living. I tell buyers, 'If you want to be near a mall or within walking distance of anything other than your backyard, this is not for you. But if you want your own land, a few acres, or to build your dream house for a lot less than you would closer to the city, then this may be ideal for you.'” Cottage-style farmhouses from the 1960s have recently sold for around $230,000. Log homes from 1992, on 4 acres, have recently sold for about $550,000.
