Historic Homes, Pretty Streets, Close to Everything
MEDIAN: $691,000North Slope Historic District is home to some of Tacoma’s most beautiful and historic homes. Almost 80% of the homes were built before 1930. When the city made zoning changes in the 1950s that allowed for some of the older homes to be torn down and replaced with apartment complex, the residents worked together to create one of the largest historic districts in the country.
North Slope is a beautiful place to live. The homes are historic and the streets are lined with mature deciduous trees. It’s easy to walk down the hill to Ruston Way or down the block to catch the Link Light Rail into downtown Tacoma. Located between Old Town, Stadium, and 6th Ave North Slope is convenient. The North Slope Historic District is well connected with sidewalks and close to neighborhoods like Stadium, Old Town, and 6th Ave.
In the North Slope you’ll find people working together. Neighbors arrange everything from garage sales, finding lost pets, and just generally looking out for each other. Every year, neighbors in the North Slope host a fun 4th of July Parade for kids. It has a nice “small town” atmosphere to it. This kind of community spirit is common in the North Slope and events tend to be the locally originated variety.
