How do I choose a Tacoma neighborhood?
Tacoma is often described as a “City of Neighborhoods.” Many of Tacoma’s neighborhoods are built around business districts that feel like small towns themselves. Tacoma has dozens of neighborhoods. If you include the greater Tacoma area (the surrounding smaller cities and unincorporated Pierce County) you have dozens more choices. To help you get a feel for where neighborhoods are in relation to each other we created the Clickable Neighborhood Map of Tacoma.
Each of the neighborhood guides has videos, photos, and information about each neighborhood. We built these pages by interviewing people who actually live in the neighborhoods to find out what they like about it. Dive into our full Tacoma Neighborhood Guide to learn specifics about each area. From restaurants and schools to architecture and market trends. We’ve polled local residents so you’ll get a real feel for each neighborhood before you even visit.
