good place unless you don't like being sort of in the middle of nowhere, not a place for people who like lots of movement and things actually happening, very stagnant, not much really changes except trees get taken down and houses get built

There are lots of different housing, we have a lot of neighborhoods as well as homes out in the country with land owners, and people who can live in the city of Tacoma, Puyallup, and other local cities.
