Low-key residential neighborhood in south Lacey
Lakepointe is a small residential neighborhood on the southern end of Lacey, Washington. Named for nearby Pattison Lake, the neighborhood doesn’t actually have direct water access. However, it is home to spacious Lakepointe Park, which hosts local youth and adult soccer leagues; it's also home to greater Olympia’s only Amtrak station, providing residents an incredibly convenient route to Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. “It’s not necessarily a neighborhood that jumps out at you,” says Realtor Justin Clement with Better Homes and Gardens, who has worked in the area for four years. “But it actually has a lot going for it. You’ve got a lot of outdoor spaces nearby, and it’s a pretty short drive to central Lacey and to Lewis-McChord.”

'90s and 2000s suburban homes
Apart from Lakepointe Park, the neighborhood is almost entirely made up of single-family homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Architectural styles tend toward classic suburban designs, with a mix of ranch-style homes and two-story houses. Yards are generally simple and well-kept, and garages are common. Homes usually offer between 1,000 and 2,500 square feet of space and sell for between $450,000 and $600,000. “It’s a popular landing spot with military families,” says Clement. “It’s easy to get to the base, and you get good-sized houses for decent prices.” The neighborhood's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Lakepointe Park
Lakepoint Park is the centerpiece of the community, serving to some extent as a shared backyard for much of the neighborhood. It features multiple soccer fields along with a playground and a couple of small ponds. Golfers have their choice of nearby courses — Indian Summer Golf & Country Club and Capitol City Golf Club are both just west of the neighborhood along Yelm Highway. Immediately east of the neighborhood, Pattison Lake is a popular boating spot; unfortunately, the lake is almost entirely surrounded by private homes, and the only public boat launch is about a 6-mile drive from Lakepointe on the opposite side of the lake.
Lakepointe Park was donated to the City of Lacey by the homeowners’ association in 2002.

Yelm Highway shops and restaurants
Lakepointe and all the neighborhoods around it are entirely residential, so shopping does involve a bit of travel. The nearest shops are located 1.5 miles to the west at the intersection of Yelm Highway and College Street. The shopping centers around the intersection are home to a variety of small chains, along with supermarkets Safeway and QFC and big box stores Walmart and Lowe’s. Locals looking for more extensive retail options generally head to central Lacey’s sprawling commercial district, located about 4 miles north of Lakepointe. Locals don’t have to go that far for a bite to eat, though. There’s plenty of dining nearby along Yelm Highway, including popular golf club pub Firecreek Ale House, which overlooks the Capitol City Golf Club, and highly rated Asian fusion eatery Lime Leaf.
Just a little ways downtown, Lakepointe residents can enjoy Mekong Thai Restaurant.

Centennial Amtrak Station
The neighborhood’s most unique feature is Centennial Amtrak Station, located on the south end of the neighborhood. The station is both the only train station in greater Olympia and, allegedly, the only Amtrak station in the country built and operated entirely by volunteers. Seven northbound and seven southbound trains stop at the station daily. It’s 30 minutes by train to Tacoma, 80 minutes to Seattle and about two hours to Portland. Some homes in the southern section of Lakepointe back up to the tracks, so might get some train noise throughout the day.While Lakepointe is accessible by bus — it’s the last stop on Lacey’s Yelm Highway route — the majority of residents rely on cars to get around town. It’s about 8 miles from the neighborhood to downtown Olympia, the heart of the local arts and entertainment scene, and the Washington State Capitol Building and Campus. To the east, the main entrance to Joint Base Lewis-McChord is a little less than a 15-mile drive from the neighborhood.
Lakepointe is within walking distance of the Centennial train and bus station.
The Intercity Transit caters to the Lakepointe residents and offers free rides within the city.
