Townhomes Steps from the Lakewood Sounder Station
Lakewood Station Townhomes is the only new-construction rental community built directly at the Lakewood Station Sounder stop. Skip the park-and-ride entirely: walk from your front door to the platform, board the S Line, and be at Tacoma Dome Station in minutes or Seattle's King Street Station in roughly an hour — reading, working, or dozing instead of white-knuckling I-5. If your life runs on the train schedule, there is no closer home. Explore our available floorplans to find your fit.
The Car-Optional Commute
The Sounder S Line connects Lakewood north through South Tacoma and Tacoma Dome Station, then on through Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn, Kent, and Tukwila to King Street Station in downtown Seattle, with weekday service timed for commuters. From King Street you are a short walk from Pioneer Square and the light-rail spine of the city. Heading to Tacoma instead? The Dome District connection puts the T Line, Amtrak, and the Tacoma waterfront within easy reach. Every commute mile on the train is a mile you did not spend parked on the freeway.
Built for Commuters
These are brand-new two- and three-bedroom townhomes finished in 2026: attached garages with EV-charging-ready parking for the days you do drive, in-unit washer and dryer so errands do not eat your evenings, private balconies, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances. Two-bedroom homes start at $2,545 per month — the St. Helens plan with a two-car garage or the Rainier plan with a bonus room that makes a natural work-from-home office. The three-bedroom Cascades starts at $2,895. JBLM, St. Clare's Hospital, and Lakewood Towne Center are all minutes away for everything the train does not cover.
Walk It Yourself
Tour a home, then walk to the platform and time it. We are confident the commute sells itself.
