Atomically flat, epitaxial, and stoichiometric thin films of the electronically phase separated compound (LaPr)CaMnO were grown on as-received and treated NdGaO substrates by fine tuning of oxygen pressure during deposition. Optimal thin films with step flow growth mode show superior physical properties compared to thin films grown in off-optimal oxygen pressures, {\em viz.} the highest maximum temperature coefficient of resistance, the highest peak-resistivity temperature, and reduced coercive fields. Transport, magnetization, and x-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the oxygen pressure during growth plays a critical role in the formation of oxygen vacancies, cation vacancies, and grain boundaries.
