Comfortable community on the Puget Sound

Jubilee is a 55-and-up community in north Lacey. Its northern border runs along the coast of Puget Sound’s scenic Nisqually Reach, while Lacey’s commercial center is just a mile south of the neighborhood. The community is one of the most sought-after retirement spots in the Olympia area, due largely to its modern, upscale homes and a location providing easy access to both scenic outdoor areas and extensive shopping and dining. “It’s basically exactly what it looks like: an upscale retirement community that’s close to everything,” says Realtor and lifelong Olympia resident Justin Clement of Better Homes and Gardens. “You’ve got the sound on one side, central Lacey on the other and then it's also right next to Hawks Prairie Golf Course and Tolmie State Park. It’s a great spot for active retirees because there’s just so much to do.”

Jubilee is located in the beautiful city of Lacey, Washington.

Hawks Prairie Golf Course

The 36-hole Hawks Prairie Golf Course running throughout the neighborhood serves as its primary recreational feature. The trails that connect the course’s holes are also used by Jubilee residents for exercise and to get around the neighborhood. The Jubilee Community Association Lodge, a 26,000-square-foot building on the south side of the neighborhood, is a popular community meeting spot with a wide array of rooms and amenities, including a fitness center, game room, sauna, billiard room and an indoor pool. The HOA also hosts musical performances, dances, van trips, art shows and parties. Just west of the neighborhood, 154-acre Tolmie State Park features trails along Puget Sound and is a popular fishing and crabbing spot. To the east, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge features 5 miles of trails and boardwalks, as well as some of the best birdwatching in the South Puget Sound area.

Central Lacey's shopping and dining

“There isn’t really any retail in the neighborhood, but it’s right next to central Lacey, which has the best shopping in the area,” says Clement. Lacey’s extensive commercial district, centered around the intersection of Martin Way and Marvin Road, is home to multiple shopping centers, including Hawks Prairie Village Mall. It features several large department stores, such as Walmart, Costco and Cabela’s, along with grocery options like Safeway and an array of smaller specialty shops. In addition to chain restaurants in the area, highly rated local eateries range from Bacco Trattoria Italiana to Season's Teriyaki and Sushi.

Season's Teriyaki and Sushi gives Jubilee residents an excellent option for sushi.
