Tacoma, WA Apartments for Rent

Set on Puget Sound with Mount Rainier on the horizon, Tacoma pairs a lively downtown with miles of waterfront and a standout museum district. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Tacoma, you'll find options near the Museum of Glass, the Thea Foss Waterway esplanade, and the University of Washington Tacoma campus. Getting around is straightforward: the T Line light rail links Hilltop, downtown, and Tacoma Dome Station—where you can catch the Sounder train to Seattle in about an hour—while I-5 puts Joint Base Lewis-McChord and the Port of Tacoma roughly 15–25 minutes away and Sea-Tac Airport about 30–40 minutes north. Weekends fill up fast with Point Defiance Park and Zoo & Aquarium, Ruston Way's shoreline trail, LeMay—America's Car Museum, and concerts at the Tacoma Dome.

Top spots for apartments include the Stadium District (iconic Stadium High School, cafes, and pubs), the Proctor District (indie shops, the Blue Mouse Theatre, and a seasonal farmers market), North End (tree-lined streets close to Ruston Way and Point Defiance), Old Town (waterfront dining and the Old Town Dock), Downtown/Thea Foss Waterway (lofts near the museum campus and UW Tacoma with easy T Line access), Hilltop (mural-lined blocks and new light-rail service), South Tacoma (Tacoma Mall retail and the South Tacoma Sounder Station), and the West End by Point Defiance. Dining and nightlife cluster along 6th Avenue and Pacific Avenue, while Point Ruston's waterfront village adds boutiques and a cinema. Search for apartments near Point Defiance Park or rentals close to Tacoma Dome Station to stay steps from trailheads, transit, and major events; rents have generally held steady year over year, with new buildings adding more choices downtown and along the water.
