Comfortable and convenient south Lacey landing spot
The south Lacey neighborhood of Horizons offers residents a suburban setting with easy access to both shopping and outdoor spaces. The neighborhood is known for its relatively new developments, which are designed to emphasize convenience with their proximity to shopping, dining and recreational opportunities. “The neighborhood can feel a little removed, but it's actually a pretty short drive to downtown Olympia or central Lacey,” says Realtor and Olympia native Justin Clement with Better Homes and Gardens. “Plus, the area has its own little shopping area, so you don’t have to leave the neighborhood for groceries or everyday stuff.”

Contemporary homes with PNW influences
Horizons is primarily composed of contemporary single-family homes built within the last three decades. These homes generally feature modern layouts with two-story floor plans and attached garages. The architectural style leans towards contemporary suburban, though many designs incorporate classic Pacific Northwest and Craftsman influences. Most residential streets in the neighborhood have sidewalks, and many feature bike lanes — neither of which is a given in the greater Olympia area. Houses in Horizons typically range in price from the about $450,000 to around $600,000, depending on the size and specific location within the neighborhood.

Rainier Vista Community Park's skate park and playgrounds
Several local parks dot the Horizons neighborhood, providing residents with ample opportunities to get outside. Rainier Vista Community Park is one of the most popular spots, offering large open fields, modern playgrounds, athletic courts and Lacey’s only skate park. Wonderwood Park on the north side of the neighborhood has a more woodsy ambiance, with its old-growth pine trees and shaded walking trails. A more manicured outdoor experience can be had at Capitol City Golf Club on the south end of the neighborhood. The public course features 18 holes and a slightly more relaxed feel than the Indian Summer Golf & Country Club, which sits less than two miles down the road, just west of Horizons.
