A relaxed home base near Tacoma
Perched atop the rocky bluffs along Commencement Bay with views of the distant Olympic Mountains, Northeast Tacoma is surrounded by nature. There's a modest commercial area in the center of the neighborhood, so residents don't have to travel far for shopping and dining. "Buyers choose the neighborhood because it's convenient to I-5 and downtown Tacoma, but it provides a more relaxed home base," says Kristy Cho, an expert Realtor with Best Choice Realty who has over 15 years of experience in this area. The wide suburban streets curve around the rolling hills, passing parks and an 18-hole public golf course. The CAP Index crime score for Northeast Tacoma is a 2 out of 10, which is half the national average.

Puget Sound beach hikes and pickleball at Norpoint
Northeast Tacoma has several areas for outdoor recreation. Norpoint Park is a nearly 20-acre space with a skate park, playground and walking trails. Beside it is the Center at Norpoint, where residents can swim, play pickleball or come for community events, including the Thanksgiving 5K and a winter ball for seniors. The public 18-hole North Shore Golf Course rests at the center of the community. Golfers can come for a casual game or take lessons. There are more than 600 boat slips at the nearby Tyee Marina in Commencement Bay. Just north of the neighborhood is the 461-acre Dash Point State Park, which offers space for camping and picnicking, as well as miles of forested trails for hiking and biking. The trails meander to a sandy beach along the Puget Sound.

Some homes overlook the Puget Sound
Evergreens and dense vegetation line Northeast Tacoma's winding streets, and sidewalks flank the main roads. Throughout the area, there are pockets of midcentury ranches and late-1900s split levels, which usually sit on modest, grassy lots and have garages. These established suburban homes generally sell from around $400,000 to $700,000. Buyers may also find some large, new traditional and Craftsman-style residences that were built more recently. Some overlook the sound, and others have more spacious lots with pools or tennis courts. Listings for post-2000 builds may range from $600,000 to $2.5 million, depending on size and features. There are also a few condos and townhouses, which generally sell between $400,000 and $500,000.

Travel to Tacoma, Seattle and beyond
Northeast Tacoma has a suburban feel, but its location allows for commutes to both Tacoma and Seattle. Downtown Tacoma is about 10 miles away, and residents can get there via state Route 509 or by catching a King County bus at one of the neighborhood stops. Interstate 5 runs along the community's southern edge, and it connects drivers to Seattle, around 30 miles north. "The area is great for commuters because it's right on the main artery of Puget Sound region," says Danny Altizer, a Realtor and managing broker with Mosaic Realty. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a 15-mile drive, and it offers direct flights to more than 20 countries. The closest hospital is St. Francis Hospital, less than 5 miles east.

Environmental concerns
During the dry season, western Washington is prone to wildfires, and the smoke can drift into the Tacoma area, causing poor air quality. Homeowners should also be aware that earthquakes are a potential risk. Commencement Bay is under restoration due to the effects of long-term pollution. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is working with the bay's industries to reverse the damage. Fishermen are not advised to eat their catches, as fish may contain high levels of mercury.
