Neighborhood

Located about a mile southeast of Downtown Spanaway, Elk Plain exudes a small-town atmosphere. If you prefer a laid-back lifestyle without the action of a big city, expect to enjoy life in this neighborhood. Similar to many Washington neighborhoods, Elk Plain is extremely wooded and features towering trees. Elk Plain is predominately residential, but there are small stores, several schools, daycare centers, and parks in the neighborhood. Elk Plain is also home to the Classic Golf Club.

Renters will find an array of single-family houses and apartments available for rent, spanning from mid-range to upscale rentals. Although Elk Plain feels quiet and secluded, the neighborhood is still proximate to several popular destinations. Along with Joint Base Lewis–McChord, Elk Plain is convenient to Tacoma, which is about a 30-minute drive away. Seattle and Bellevue are about an hour’s drive north, a great distance for a weekend trip.

School data provided by 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.
