Lakewood Overview

The aptly named Lakewood is comprised of a budding population of just over 50,000 souls, complete with plenty of natural beauty. A close drive from Tacoma and a number of other Washington cities, this 'little big town' has heart and charm to spare.

What is the history of Lakewood?

Originally comprised of a handful of other townships, Lakewood was officially incorporated in 1996, making it the second largest city in Pierce County. Conveniently located near a number of military centers, as well as healthcare and schooling options, this on-the-move blue collar city is well worth exploring for anyone considering a move to a new Washington apartment.

How is the weather in Lakewood?

Like much of the state, Lakewood is prone to rainy conditions. Still, snow and freeze are a thankful rarity, and spring can bring with it spectacular flowers. Summers are generally marked by sun and temps in the 80s, with autumn generally the rainiest of months.

How do I get around town?

Some bus service is available to those calling apartments for rent in Lakewood home, but most locals rely on a private car or truck for most daily needs. Bicycling is a hit in the city as well, and ride share options such as Lyft are increasingly popular. Rail is largely limited to freight, and nearby larger municipalities such as Seattle remain the best options for air travel.

What is the Lakewood commute like?

In general, traffic tends to move at a brisk pace throughout the city. The western tier of State Route 512 touches in the city, connecting to Interstate 5 which is far and away the most used roadway. Those commuting to Tacoma and beyond can expect reasonable drives on most days, aside from the occasional unforeseen fender bender or roadwork delay.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'News Tribune' services most apartments in Lakewood, and local radio stations KLAY and KVTI cover talk and top-40 formats, accordingly. Additional classic rock and even jazz tunes can be found with relative ease on the airwaves, and most broadcasting options arrive thanks to affiliates in Seattle and beyond.

Why live in Lakewood, WA?

Home to both the Clover Park Techincal School as well as Pierce College, Lakewood is an ideal spot to live for anyone pursuing higher education. The Western State Hospital remains a steady source of local employement as well, and the area's bounty of lakes and hiking trails makes a Lakewood rental pitch-perfect for those who enjoy the great outdoors. 

What Lakewood landmarks should I see?

Thornewood Castle is a must-see for any fan of architecture and history, while the Lakewood Playhouse is a fantastic spot to take in a night of theater. Fort Steilacoom dates back to the 1800s, and will surely be a hit for any military buff. The Lakewood Gardens are also seemingly always in full bloom, making for an idyllic afternoon with friends.

What is there to do around Lakewood?

Shop for new items to outfit your Lakewood apartment at the retail glory of Lakewood Towne Center, or enjoy a slice of pie to die for at the Black Bear Diner. Romantic seafood dinners are never far away with a visit to Sushi Niwa, and the Macau Casino is an excellent place to try your luck on a variety of table games. 

Any annual festivals or Lakewood events to know?

The Tacoma Psychic Fair is a nearby weekend of excitement, and the Lakewood Tree Lighting Ceremony is always a hit around the holidays. SummerFEST brings together live music and plenty of local baked goods, while the Festival of Sail makes the most of local waterways every year.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the legendary piers and nightlife options of Seattle, or head south to the hipster paradise of nearby Portland, Oregon, both an easy drive from most Lakewood apartments. Victoria, BC makes a great escape for the truly adventurous, and the camping, hiking and bird-watching of greater Washington State is second to none.

Where is the best place to move in Lakewood?

Whether you are on the hunt for an elegant one-bedroom apartment close to the center of the city and boasting luxurious amenities such as reserved parking and indoor swimming pool, or simply need a basic two bedroom unit close to the Interstate and offering convenient access to the local college, we are confident that the ideal Lakewood rental for your particular lifestyle and budget is ready to make your aquaintence. So what are you waiting for? Start your search today, and start seeing what life in Washington state has to offer without further delay!
