University Place Real Estate — Quiet streets, big-water views, and a U.S. Open in the back yard.

About University Place

Originally part of Tacoma, University Place broke off and incorporated in 1995 to keep its low-density, big-lot character. Chambers Bay — built on a former gravel pit on the Sound — hosted the 2015 U.S. Open and put the city on every golfer's radar. The blocks east of the course remain some of Pierce County's most-watched residential real estate.
