Get to Know Hillside / UWT
Is it Downtown Tacoma? Is it Hilltop? Hillside is both, and some would argue that it’s not a neighborhood of its own. We’d really classify it as a “micro neighborhood.” It’s distinctive from the Downtown and Hilltop as it straddles the hill between UWT and Hilltop. If you drive down South Yakima and look around at about 21st, you’ll see what we mean.
Why Hillside / UWT is so Great
The Hillside between Downtown Tacoma and Hilltop is incredibly convenient. Whether you’d like to scoot down the hill to the University of Washington Tacoma campus, want something close to St Joseph Medical Center, or want to be able to hop on I-5 in under 3 minutes, this location is right there.
Tax incentives in the mid 2000s spurred the new townhome construction and apartment buildings in this area, and while there are still many vacant lots to fill in the University of Washington Tacoma is creeping up the hill, building on the lots it owns as the campus grows.
