Why this Neighborhood is so Great
North Tacoma is the area that encompasses some of Tacoma's most popular neighborhoods. Neighborhoods like Old Town, Ruston, Stadium District, North Slope Historic District, Proctor District, and University of Puget Sound Neighborhood are all part of the Tacoma's North End. North Tacoma has that small-town feel without being too small—the charming community is made up of several smaller neighborhoods, each with their own unique restaurants, shops and local conveniences. Getting around is easy—the area is walkable (think tree-lined streets with pedestrian-friendly sidewalks) while also offering plenty of street parking.
What to do in this Neighborhood
Nature and small-town convenience rest side by side in North Tacoma. Point Defiance Park (home to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium) is a 702-acre park that’s nestled on the northernmost tip of North Tacoma and blends into the waterfront. A scenic stretch of paved walking trails, the Ruston Waterfront is home to fabulous restaurants and beautiful parks that look out onto Commencement Bay towards Vashon Island and Brown’s Point. From community gardens and farmers markets to events at the University of Puget Sound- Tacoma's North End is full of activity and things to do.
Architecture
Since the North End contains such a wide variety of neighborhoods, there is truly something for everyone. Historic Homes from Craftsman to Classical Revival abound in Proctor, North Slope Historic District, and Stadium. Further west you'll find homes built in the 1960's and 1970's. New construction is rare.
