Nestled along the shores of Puget Sound, Ruston offers a stunning waterfront living experience just minutes from downtown Tacoma. This compact 0.26-square-mile community of just over 1,000 residents features the vibrant Point Ruston neighborhood, where waterfront townhomes and apartments line a scenic promenade filled with restaurants and shops. Rental houses in the Stack Hill area offer spectacular views and quick access to Point Defiance Park's 702 acres of hiking trails, gardens, and beaches. With an average commute time of just 25 minutes to Tacoma and easy access to Seattle via Interstate 5, Ruston's extensive environmental restoration and waterfront location have transformed it into one of Pierce County's most desirable rental communities.
