Build Your Dream Home on this Rare North Tacoma Property

This particular building lot is part of a recent sub-division, and you’re surrounded by established homes and properties dotted with tall trees and mature greenery. A level lot adds convenience when you start to build (and is ideal if you plan to build garden beds, a patio or deck, etc. that surround your home), and an alley off the back offers convenience.

In the immediate neighborhood, there are a few nearby spots especially worth noting. The Cushman Substation (read all about this interesting piece of Tacoma history on our blog) is just down the street, and you’re also just a block from North Union Ave. This avenue makes it easy to access much of Tacoma’s top conveniences, and once you cross Union Ave, University of Puget Sound campus is right there. Not only is UPS an excellent college that attracts students from across the country, but it offers the community plenty to do and explore as well. Enjoy strolling through the manicured campus, and have fun attending a huge variety of events, performances, art shows, lectures, and more throughout the year.

One of the top attractions of this location is how close you are to the historic Proctor District. You’re only 0.4 miles to Metropolitan Market and Safeway, and from here you can easily explore the rest of Proctor’s shopping, dining, and local services. Visit restaurants like Cactus Proctor, East & West Proctor, Pomodoro Italian Restaurant, Viva Tacoma, Europa Bistro, and Waffle Stop; have fun browsing shops like Compass Rose Tacoma, Wag Pet Market, The Pacific Northwest Shop, Teaching Toys & Books, etc.; and visit places like Blue Mouse Theatre and Chalet Bowl for entertainment. In addition to the Proctor Farmers Market, you’ll also find a library, post office, schools, and so much more!

Tacoma’s 6th Ave is also close by, and it’s only 0.7 miles away. Here you’ll find a hub of activity, and within blocks of reaching 6th Ave, you can easily reach places like Valhalla Coffee Co., Sushi Tama, Expand Yoga, Bartell Drugs, Farrelli’s Pizza, Silk Thai Cafe, Wild Orchid, The Red Hot, Ice Cream Social, and much more!

Even more Tacoma attractions and amenities are not far off; the Ruston Way waterfront, Point Ruston, Point Defiance, Downtown Tacoma, Highway 16, and more are all just 5-10 minutes from home.
