What Locals Say about Central

Review Highlights

Central, Tacoma hums with walkability, parks, 6th Ave energy, and swift freeway access. People love nearby dining, parks and fairs, quick drives downtown, and dog-friendly streets. They dislike night crime, break-ins, noise from bars, poor lighting, and rising rent.

"Great neighborhood people are friendly and the community is strong together. Some neighbors are a bit nosey, but I’m assuming they just want what’s best for the neighborhood or don’t have any business of their own."

"Not the safest neighborhood. Sometimes you’re fortunate enough to live on a decent block with decent neighbors. But a lot of the unwanted traffic through the neighborhood is still there. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight."

"We have been here for two years now and have seen it continually changing for the better. Houses are being repaired and improved, there are more kids out playing in the neighborhood, neighbors are meeting each other and building relationships. Central is probably the best neighborhood in Tacoma if you want to be able to walk to downtown, get on any of the highways, walk to Sixth Avenue, own a beautiful pre-war home and be surrounded by a young and diverse community."
