Gorgeous flowers, sparkling lakes, views of Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound, and even a castle -- you may think it can't get any better, but Lakewood is just getting started. This beautiful city borders Tacoma on its north side and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the largest base on the West Coast, on its south side. More than 540 acres of the city is park space, and when you move to Lakewood, you'll appreciate the ample opportunity to hike, water-ski, row, fish, swim, and picnic. Lakewood is aptly named, since it is a wooded community featuring five lakes, including the large American Lake. Lakeside beaches provide activities like swimming, and lakefront parks provide boat launches. Fort Steilacoom Park features an off-leash dog park, ball fields, and Waughop Lake. When you move to your new apartment in Lakewood, be sure to visit Thornewood. This gorgeous castle was built in 1909, but the bricks are from a dismantled 15th-century manor imported from England. Now a bed and breakfast, the castle has served as a filming location for several movies and TV shows, including the 2007 Oscar-winning film, "There Will Be Blood."

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.
