Late winter rain (and snow!) storms cause us to yearn for the possibilities of spring in the Pacific Northwest, dousing the gloom of overcast skies and warming the heart with expectation.
With the extra minutes of daylight added each day, our thoughts often turn to the dream of owning a new home that has light streaming in on open and bright rooms, highlighting luxurious, rich features and flooding spaces that embrace our desired lifestyle.
Steilacoom Ridge is the place to fulfill that hope of spring, right now.
There are beautifully finished Rob Rice Homes that are ready to view at this new home community. And, by the time spring has fully arrived, five more homes are scheduled to be completed. These homes offer a window of opportunity before they are built. Get in now on the local builder’s unique pre-sale program allowing you to customize your new home’s features to your personal tastes.
Finding your dream home is a tough task right now in the South Sound. There is a huge demand and the number of homes for sale is at record lows, causing prices to soar. The Northwest Multiple Listing Service reported that the median price for an existing single-family home in Pierce County rose last month to more than 11 percent over January of 2016. In Thurston County, it rose to 6.3 percent.
Purchasing your home now, lets you lock in your price before the tight housing market demands another increase and interest rates rise. And, home buyers who have had a difficult time finding the just home they want, will sigh with relief when they see all that is waiting for them at Steilacoom Ridge.
It’s Called Gateway for a Reason
Steilacoom Ridge is located on a quiet road that winds over the Nisqually Ridge and is nestled into the evergreens of Lacey. Though it has a picturesque and country-like location, this lovely community is close to some of the most exciting new and future community amenities.
Near the northern-most border of Thurston County, Steilacoom Ridge is a short drive to I-5 and within minutes of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The area is known as Hawks Prairie and it is bustling with current activity with plans for more in the future.
Nearby is one of the most exciting attractions known as the Lacey Gateway project. With the popular Cabela’s already in place, the site will be further developed for unparalleled recreation, shopping and entertainment opportunities.
The entire Hawks Prairie business area is home to big box and retail stores, coffee shops, restaurants and groceries—making nearly everything you need or want available within minutes.
Less than a mile down the road from Steilacoom Ridge is the Lacey Regional Athletic Complex (RAC), a sure win for families who enjoy walking trails and participating in soccer, baseball and other community activities. Two championship golf courses are also nearby.
