Neighborhood

Situated just a few miles south of Downtown Tacoma, South End is a premier urban neighborhood with plenty of highly-sought-after perks. Nestled between Pacific Avenue and I-5, commuting to nearby areas such as Tacoma’s downtown district is a breeze. Take a quick trip up to Tacoma to visit the Museum of Glass, the Washington State History Museum, Wright Park, and views of the Puget Sound!

Luxury urban apartments bode well with the affordable condos and cozy houses for rent, giving renters a large spectrum to choose from. You’ll be drawn to this neighborhood for its numerous community parks, rare for such an urban neighborhood. Wapato Park boasts sprawling woodlands, a large lake, walking trails, and even a dog park.

Lincoln Park offers shaded lawns that back up to Lincoln High School, one of the many quality public schools in the Tacoma Public School District. After you’ve gotten some outdoor recreation, travel to the other side of I-5 to visit Tacoma Mall.

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.
