What’s Nearby
There's no shortage of getting out and about around here! Just a few minutes away is Point Defiance Park — Tacoma's 760-acre jewel. Home to the Five Mile Drive trails, Owen Beach, old-growth forest, stunning Puget Sound views, and the beloved Fort Nisqually Living History Museum with crafts from the past, summer camps, and family fun nights. It's the kind of place you'll want to keep coming back to.
If you're burned out on cooking so many meals at home and need a little break, head over to Cooper's Food and Drink, a locally owned Tacoma restaurant and bar just around the corner. They take pride in regionally sourced ingredients and a menu that has something for everyone — from loaded nachos and charcuterie boards to burgers, steak, and pizza. Don't miss weekend brunch (Saturday and Sunday 9am–2pm!), their cozy covered patio with a fire pit, and daily happy hour. The kind of place where you'll feel like a regular on your very first visit.
Enjoy the Highlands Golf Course, a scenic 9-hole course nestled right in the neighborhood — their motto is "Half the Time, Twice the Fun," and they really mean it. Play the par 27 course and refuel at McDuff's Cafe, their community-focused coffee shop and bar right on the grounds. Grab espresso, a deli sandwich, or a cold beer and soak up the sun on the beautiful patio. It's a little gem of a spot that regulars love to call their own.
Grab your reusable bag and head to Safeway on N. Proctor St for all your grocery essentials — fresh produce, the deli, bakery, and even a pharmacy all in one stop. And while you're in the neighborhood, take a stroll through the University of Puget Sound campus at the heart of the North End. The beautiful Tudor-Gothic brick buildings, green quads, and lively student energy make it a lovely place to wander — and there's often a concert, lecture, or campus event open to the community worth checking out.
