Slow-paced, lakeside living
Just 10 miles from Downtown Tacoma, Lakeview invites locals to slow down and spend a day on the water. Close to expansive lakes and peaceful public parks, this community draws homebuyers who want a slower pace of life without sacrificing convenience. The neighborhood is "close to I-5 and light-rail transit, which makes commuting to Tacoma and Seattle easy," says Realtor Joanne Stafford with Better Properties Real Estate. Joint Base Lewis McChord is just 5 miles away, which Stafford says "makes Lakeview a very desirable home-buying location for those working at the military base."
Steilacoom Lake is the perfect place to spend the day in Lakeview.

Boaters on the South Sound’s lakes
Boat owners love Lakeview because of its proximity to all the South Sound region's lakes, bays and inlets. Steilacoom Lake is the go-to spot to spend a misty morning on a kayak or small boat. Anglers typically visit the Interlaaken Bridge, as it offers expansive views of the lake and various bass and trout. Seeley Lake Park, encompassing over 47 acres of mossy woodland and grassy wetlands, is popular with wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. There are maintained trails that loop around the park and its marshy lake, where joggers run in the morning and pet owners take afternoon strolls. Another favorite is Kiwanis Park, which has a large open field for playing frisbee or picnicking. Kids of all ages try out tricks at the adjacent Kiwanis Skate Park, where they can ride on skateboards, bikes or rollerblades.
