Located about five miles northwest of Downtown Tacoma, Ruston is a charming community bordering Commencement Bay. Ruston is largely residential, offering a broad range of houses and apartments available for rent in a laid-back locale.
Although its forest-like environment may make Ruston feel secluded, the community boasts an array of independently owned businesses strewn along North Pearl Street, including antique shops, restaurants, service-oriented stores, and much more. Ruston provides exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation, with direct access to Rust Park, Ruston Way Path, and all that the sprawling Point Defiance Park has to offer.
Ruston is also convenient to the exciting Point Ruston waterfront, which touts plenty of dining and entertainment options close to home. Getting around from Ruston is simple with access to the Point Defiance Ferry and State Route 163.
