You'll find plenty of space in Summit Puyallup, especially if you love horses. It's an area known for large lots of land, and residents use that space for their equine companions to trot around.

You'll also be able to find plenty of land on the lots in the area; half an acre is a standard size for properties in this area.

Students in the area are part of the Franklin Pierce School District.

There's no competition when it comes to the outdoors in Summit Puyallup; locals love Orangegate Park. This quiet 160-acre forest is closed to motorized vehicles but wide open for equestrians, joggers and dog walkers. It's a great area to spend hours hiking through and getting lost (but not literally) in the environment.

Located in a sweet spot between Tacoma and Seattle, this area has easy access to I-5 or Route 512, called the 5-12 by locals. Most people drive in the area, so walkability is a small part of transit but a big part of recreation in areas like Orangegate Park. While you may be tempted to ride your horse to the grocery store, you'll want to stick to the car for getting around.

Most locals eat and shop at a cluster of shops off the 5-12. Safeway or Albertsons, a local chain, are popular places to load up on groceries for the week. For a bite to eat, head to San Blas Mexican Restaurant in the same shopping area as the grocery stores. With a rustic interior defined by smooth archways in-between dining areas and hues of blue, green and beige, it's a fun place to grab a meal after work.

For a resident looking to join a community that offers proximity to major roadways and plenty of space on its lots, Summit Puyallup is an option worth considering.

GreatSchools: 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.
