Park Pacific

I have had a great experience with Park Pacific so far. I love being within walking distance to campus and have always felt safe when walking to the building. Maintenance has also been a huge plus, they are always timely and extremely helpful.

Park Pacific

I love living at Park Pacific. They have everything I need in one building. The only issue I have is the location. The homeless can try to come in the building and harass you when you leave the apartment for classes. Other than that, I have no issues and recommend the apartment.

Pretty good for a SLU Law student

Being so close to school is the top selling factor for me. It is very convenient and all the stores needed are not too far of a drive.

Park Pacific is Overrated

Overall I think this place is ok but if I could go back I would have stayed in the City View Apartments which was way cheaper but just as safe and close enough to the school where I felt comfortable walking home at night. I personally think Park Pacific is very expensive for what it offers when there are plenty of other cheaper options. The only reason I stayed is because of my roommate and not wanting to mess with her living situation. The nice part is yes there is a doorman that helps secure all packages but at Cityview there was a package drop-off box with a secured code each time, that did the exact same thing so again, not worth the extra money to live here.

Get out of downtown

I wish I knew of other options besides Park Pacific as an out-of-state student. It’s so expensive and management can be rude. There was a maintenance person in my apartment every week for four months straight at the beginning of my lease. The most positive thing is the location, but there’s also no full grocery stores or anything like that in the downtown area, so a car is necessary even living here. Might as well live further away and drive in, especially if you’re averse to hearing gunshots every weekend.

Good if you want close proximity to SLU Law

Overall, my experience has been good. The apartment is close to the school and is conveniently located to most major road systems in the St. Louis area, allowing easy access to many parts of the city. There were issues with my move-in date and renovations being delayed, however, these issues have dissipated in recent months. I have also had multiple issues with a leaking dishwasher. The management tends to not be very helpful, but the doormen are extremely kind.

There is very little to do in the surrounding area that I feel safe walking to from my apartment. While you are only steps away from the Blues stadium, Cardinals stadium and school, you often encounter situations walking to these venues that are unnerving. There also aren't as many grocery stores and affordable restaurants close by. Other areas of St. Louis provide a greater selection and are more amenable to students.
Reviewed by SLU Law Student living at ParkPacific Apartments
In terms of convenience for school - it's GREAT. Everything else is terrible. There are very limited food places around here. Most places span to 10-25 min drive depending on what you want. Same with grocery stores. The downtown and soulard bars are close which is nice. However, in the 3 years I have lived here, there have been 4 shootings on the street outside, my car has been broken into twice (in the connected parking garage), and I was harassed by a building janitor. It's not worth it.

I am used to living in cities and I tend to be able to turn a blind eye to random acts of violence because in any city it is tough to feel 100% safe. There are shootings down here as well as more petty crimes. People are desperate just as they are anywhere that packs people in but does not have enough well-paying jobs or mental health clinics to support the population. The neighborhood is getting better though, as I have seen many businesses pop up since moving here 8 months ago. These businesses have been primarily black-owned which is amazing to see and the diversity of the neighborhood is wonderful. I hope that it does not lose its charm as it becomes more popular.

Overall:

The streets in Downtown generally are somewhat clean. There are also many restaurants & coffee shops in downtown, and it is very walkable/bike-able during the daytime hours.
Safety: St. Louis' reputation for being unsafe precedes it, and is a bit exaggerated. But not entirely off-base, from my personal experience. From about sunrise to sunset, speaking as a man, I am comfortable walking outside. Foot traffic is generally very light and most streets have sufficient sidewalk space. Not to fearmonger, but I have personally erred on the side of caution when it comes to going out at night. I do go out to Bar Reviews and friends' house parties once a month or so. I tend to get home anywhere from midnight to 2am. I have never seen any violence, or concerning behavior, with my own eyes. Anecdotally, I have heard from another friend in Downtown that they have seen people cruising around in a car with guns on one occasion, very early in the morning/late at night. Gunshots are not rare, but also not frequent. My personal estimate is that I hear what could plausibly be gunshots once every two weeks or so. They occur most often in the midnight to 4am block of time. Car-break-ins were the second-most raised point about safety in Downtown. I have not been the victim of a break-in myself. However, I have seen cars parked in the same spot on the street all day go from having an intact window in the morning to a busted window by the end of the school day. I strongly recommend securing garage parking if you have a car, either in your own apartment complex or a nearby external garage. Downtown St. Louis has a homelessness problem, unfortunately similar to most other major cities in the US (Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA come to mind). The homeless & city have a tragic cycle of homeless people occupying the parks near the law school & city hall, then being cleared out by city officials when a major event is being held at or near the parks, and drifting back in, days or weeks after the event. I have seen homeless people sleeping along the St. Charles St. side of the building, and further up the street. I have never been personally accosted by anyone, but it can contribute to feelings of overall decreased safety.

There’s not much nightlife, not a lot of walkable places, not super safe to walk alone at night. However, I’ve never felt unsafe in my building. It’s very worth it to live so close to the law school and live near other law students.

Downtown near the school on Washington Avenue. Busy at night, safe to walk home from school.

Gunshots every weekend and there is no grocery store close. I’m afraid to walk outside by myself, even during the day.

Great food options. Close to the highway. Everything I need is within a 15 minute drive.
