What it’s like to live in New Tacoma
Industrial heritage transforms in New Tacoma, where historic warehouses and commercial buildings find new purpose as urban lofts and creative spaces near the port. Residents enjoy the developing waterfront with its museums, restaurants, and walking paths alongside the working port's continued operations. Though ongoing redevelopment means some services remain under development, pioneers appreciate participating in the neighborhood's evolution from industrial center to urban community. Many buildings feature impressive adaptive reuse where loading docks become patios and freight elevators serve residential floors, creating distinctive living spaces connecting to Tacoma's commercial history while accommodating contemporary needs.
