Oakbrook has a small-town feel just south of Tacoma
Welcome to Oakbrook, a community offering small-town charm, spacious, established homes and a wide assortment of indoor and outdoor activities. The neighborhood is "just south of Tacoma but feels like you're in a secluded small town. Trees and long, winding roads tuck away houses, making it super easy to find a house that gives plenty of privacy," says Realtor Baggio Salivdar with Compass Real Estate.
Ranch-style homes, split levels and a median price of $550,000
Most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s. You'll find spacious split-levels and rambling ranches throughout the neighborhood, interspersed with a few gated communities. In this suburban area, plenty of yard space is available to entertain or relax. The median home price in Oakbrook is $550,000, compared to the adjacent neighborhood Central Lakes' median home price of $470,000. While Oakbrook requires a bigger budget, it offers more extensive square footage while maintaining a similar proximity to amenities as Central Lakes.
Custer Elementary, Lochburn Middle and Steilacoom High
Schools in the area include Custer Elementary School, which is known for its active library program. At the library, students can read from an international book selection, get reading and homework help and even volunteer in the library. At Lochburn Middle School, there is a robust athletics program. Students can participate in soccer, cross country, fastpitch and tackle football. Nearby, Steilacoom High School scores far above average on test scores and college readiness, according to Great Schools. The school partners with Pierce County Skills Center to provide a robust portfolio of graduation pathways, which include culinary arts, video game development and aerospace engineering.
Exploring parks, lakes and a nature preserve
There's a wide variety of indoor and outdoor entertainment available here. Test your skills at the 18-hole or 9-hole course at Fort Steilacoom Disc Golf Course or spend the morning fishing or kayaking at Steilacoom Lake. Fort Steilacoom Park has acres of athletic fields, grassy knolls and trails that meander to Waughop Lake. Kids will enjoy the playground, and pets will love the massive off-leash dog park. Hiking lovers will enjoy visiting the South Puget Sound Wildlife Area. The nature preserve encompasses over 100 acres of meadows, gardens and mossy woodland. There are paved walking and bike trails and a fish hatchery open to the public on weekdays. It's the best place for a secluded bike ride or picnic amongst a field of flowers.
Shops and eateries on Steilacoom Boulevard and at Lakewood Town Center
Along Steilacoom Boulevard, you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies and locally owned and loved restaurants. Have Taco Tuesdays at Sugar Bones Tacos, an authentic Mexican eatery with a homey, Día de Los Muertos-inspired interior decorated with painted skulls and ofrendas. Or have karaoke nights with friends at Oaktree Food & Drink Company. This neighborhood tavern is known for its packed karaoke nights, homestyle burgers and massive breakfasts platters. Lakewood Town Center is an extensive shopping center with a theater, a wide variety of retailers and fast-casual eateries.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
