The West End neighborhood has breathtaking views from almost every area – but the views at Point Defiance Park are especially top-notch. There are two full-service shopping districts in the community, but it’s mostly a residential suburb.
When they’re not at their West End apartments, locals are relaxing by the water at Owen Beach or watching the zoo animals roam. The Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is located in the park, and a great representation of the first Puget Sound settlement in the 1800s.
The natural scenery is quite unmatched – and you’re just minutes from class at Tacoma Community College. From one-of-a-kind eats to distinguished shopping, you’re at home in West End!
As of March 2025, the average apartment rent in West End is $1,303 for a studio, $1,618 for one bedroom, $1,912 for two bedrooms, and $2,422 for three bedrooms. Apartment rent in West End has increased by 1.3% in the past year.

Neighbors are friendly and many places within walking distance. The views are beautiful and there are a few parks and playgrounds to visit. Geiger is a great school with great teachers and staff.

I personally have applied to bug companies like The Metropolitan Market and a Safeway that always hire students in high school but with me they didn't I never got anything back even when I had called them after applying online and leaving my information. This had led to more job searching and hoping someone will hire me.

A small shop called Compass Rose. I loved the store on its own and the service and vibe from the people working there was really pleasent and appreciated for when I was trying to find something specific across their wide variety shop.
