South End

What it’s like to live in South End

South End offers affordable living with historic character in southern Tacoma.

South Tacoma

What it’s like to live in South Tacoma

Working-class authenticity thrives in South Tacoma, where the historic Lincoln District features family-owned pho restaurants and international markets reflecting the area's diverse community. Affordable bungalows with character details appeal to first-time renters, though street quality varies block by block. The STAR Center provides recreation facilities, while the neighborhood's central location offers quick access to both downtown Tacoma and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, making it popular with military families seeking off-base housing.

West End

What it’s like to live in West End

Not just magnificent water views but genuine community connections define West End Tacoma, where rental houses often include unexpected outdoor living spaces capitalizing on the neighborhood's sloped topography. The district's architectural diversity offers everything from classic Craftsman homes to mid-century stunners with walls of windows framing Puget Sound panoramas. Unlike trendier North End addresses, you'll find reasonable rents despite similar amenities and school assignments. The nearby Waterwalk along Ruston Way provides miles of waterfront recreation, while Point Defiance Park offers forest hiking without leaving city limits. What elevates West End beyond comparable neighborhoods: the seemingly small-town atmosphere where neighbors still organize block parties and holiday celebrations creating connections beyond adjacent property lines – increasingly rare in transient urban environments where residents barely know adjacent buildings let alone individual neighbors.
