The Biltmore was built in 1889 by George Sumner based on the design of architect Fredrick A. Sexton. The Biltmore became famous for its turreted Queen Anne style and elaborate Victorian detailing, somewhat resembling a Victorian Castle. We work to play up the character and charm of our buildings and to make each unit somewhat unique--check individual unit listings for specific amenities and finish grades (varies from unit to unit).

7/10Living in Tacoma
Tacoma’s North End sits on a hilly peninsula between Commencement Bay and the city’s central neighborhoods, with views of the water and, on clear days, Mount Rainier. Its mild, often rainy climate suits year-round walks through Wright Park and along the Ruston Way waterfront; Point Defiance Park, with forest trails and shoreline, is nearby. The area’s historic character shows in older homes and landmarks such as the Stadium High School building. Local commercial streets offer cafés, restaurants, neighborhood shops, and everyday services, while Ruston Way adds waterfront dining and access to Tacoma’s arts and nightlife. Residents get around by car, bus, bike, or on foot, though hills can shape walking and cycling routes. For the North End, the median rent is $1,887 per month, with a typical range of $625 to $6,750.
