Pacific-Lakeview
The Pacific Lakeview neighborhood of Lakewood provides spectacular views of Mount Rainier and a serene natural setting. The community offers residents budget-friendly housing within proximity to lush parkland and pristine lakes. "Many of the people who live here work at the Joint Base Lewis-McChord military base," says Jason Kjellesvik, associate managing broker/Realtor for Compass, who used to live in the area and has over 30 years of experience.
Most homes are small two- to three-bedroom bungalows or ranch-style homes, ranging from $396,000 to $444,000. The lots are small, less than 1/4 acre, with room enough for a barbecue grill or small garden. Tree-lined streets are wide, and there are no sidewalks.
Students attend Tyee Park Elementary Schools and Lochburn Middle School, both of which have a C rating on Niche. Clover Park High School offers an International Baccalaureate Program and has a B-minus from Niche.
Residents in the Pacific-Lakeview neighborhood have easy access to parks, lakes and local attractions. The 500-year-old Thornewood Castle, with its unique history, is situated on the shores of American Lake. The Tudor-Gothic-style mansion was dismantled in 1907 in England and reconstructed in Lakewood. Thornewood also has ties to Hollywood, as It served as the setting for the films "Rose Red," "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer" and the Oscar-winning "There Will Be Blood." Currently, "the castle," as it's referred to by locals, is used as a site for events and overnight stays.
As for outdoor recreation, locals like to go to the recently renovated Springbrook Park, which includes a playground, baseball field, two half-court basketball courts, and two picnic shelters available for rent. The park is also home to the Springbrook community gardens. The improvements were part of the city's nearly $1 million investment to expand and redevelop the park. Not from the military base is American Lake, the largest natural lake in Pierce County. The setting is known for its amazing Mt. Rainier views, excellent fishing, and a variety of water sports and activities.
Only a six-minute drive is the Lakewood Towne Center, which has many shopping and dining options. "Here, there are mostly chain stores and restaurants," Kjellesvik says. Barnes and Noble, Old Navy and Marshalls are only a few of the mall's offerings. Locals can go to Safeway, also a six-minute drive from home, for grocery shopping.
The Lakewood Bar and Grill in Tacoma serves appetizers, salads, sandwiches and burgers. Kjellesvik recommends The Adriatic at Oakbrook for fine dining and special occasions with its fresh-to-order Italian food. The Lakewood Towne Center also has plenty of chain dining options like Chipotle, Applebee's and Five Guys.
Pacific-Lakeview is located between Interstate 5 and Pacific Hwy SW. There is no public transportation, so residents are car-dependent. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) is a 31-mile drive from home.
For big-town living with small-town vibes, Pacific-Lakeview might be a place to call home.

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.
