Old Town Tacoma Homes For Sale

Old Town Tacoma is a neighborhood in the north end of Tacoma where Tacoma began, originally called "Tacobet" by the Puyallup Indians..  At this location of the original settlement in 1865, Job Carr built a cabin near the shore in anticipation of future land speculation due to the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.  Today, Old Town still has its own distinct atmosphere .  Homes in Old Town are desirable due to the small community feel even though they are part of the much larger Tacoma area.  Downtown in New Tacoma isn't far away, making a commute very easy.  Old Town features shops and restaurants, including a Old Town Historic Park where a replica of the first cabin describes the history as a museum.  Old Town also features a waterfront park called Chinese Reconciliation Park, a long and wide pier, including a few shops on the waterfront.  Also departing from the waterfront, you can walk or bike the beloved Ruston Way Trail for 1.5 miles of views and activities.  For housing choices, there are apartments, condos and homes, all fighting for space in this high value marketplace.  Home prices are as low as the 200,000s, but are usually $300,000 and above. Many properties have partial to very good views of the water.
