A little from the sellers about the location, and what they’ll miss about the neighborhood -

“I’ll miss so many things about this house, it’s hard to pick just one! Watching the incredible sunrises each morning as it peeks over the mountains is a glorious way to start your day from either the living room, bedroom or backyard. I will also miss the close proximity to numerous breweries, restaurants, and easy freeway access.”

“I’ve enjoyed this location because there are more than 10 new breweries that are within walking distance. The waterfront is a quick 5 minute drive, and you can walk to Wright Park if you’re down for a longer stroll. Access to the freeways can’t be beat if you’re a commuter - just go straight down the hill!”

“When dining out, I enjoyed 7 Seas Brewing that is one block away and 3uilt has a great menu - everything from dinner to your morning coffee. Black Fleet Brewing is another favorite that’s just a quick walk down the hill. Try the Smoked Red Amber!”

“A little more about the home and neighborhoods is, of all six townhomes, this is the only one with a backyard that opens up to a wider usable space alongside the house. You can put chairs out there in the summer and stare at Mt. Rainier as the sun goes down! The neighbors are friendly. From the master bedroom, you can watch all the fireworks from NE Tacoma, to Puyallup to E Tacoma - you never have to leave to see a great show!”

The 1.6-mile light rail line ending at Tacoma Dome Station is free to ride. The city is currently working on an expansion plan with construction finalizing in 2022. This project will more than double the current length and will reach new destinations like the Old City Hall, the Stadium District, Wright Park and the Hilltop communities. Check here for link updates! If you commute north and want to skip driving you can catch the Sounder Train at the Tacoma Dome Station northbound to Seattle – it’s convenient, cheap (about $5 to ride) and less of a hassle than sitting in I-5 traffic for events or commuting!

You’re also just a 10-15 minute drive to the Ruston Way Waterfront - Katie Downs Waterfront Tavern (renowned for its deep dish pizza!), Duke’s Chowder House (great stop for happy hour) and long time favorite Harbor Lights , the new La Paloma Artisan and Vintage Market, Century Theaters - roomy lounge chairs and free parking for movie patrons, and more shopping and dining options!

Minutes away is the Hilltop Neighborhood where you’ll find the Red Elm Cafe - a friendly establishment known for their fresh made waffles and coffee drinks. You’ll also find in this area Pho King, Le Donut, Quickie Too Vegan Cafe and beloved Tacoma treasure Johnson Candy Company.

The University of Washington Tacoma is also down the street, along with LeMay - America’s Car Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, The Museum of Glass as well as the Washington State History Museum.

Wright Park is ideal for a leisurely stroll or a quick jog, and is very popular in the summer months as it has a sprayground, playground and plenty of picnic tables. This 27 acre arboretum is home to a rich collection of more than 600 trees - stunning in both the spring & summer when they’re ample and bright green, and impressive in the fall as they change from green to feuille-morte of autumn foliage.
