Park Ridge: A Neighborhood That Feels Like Home

Welcome to Park Ridge, one of University Place’s most charming and well-maintained neighborhoods—a place where you’ll find more than just a house; you’ll find a true sense of community. Nestled among mature trees, serene streets, and friendly cul-de-sacs, Park Ridge has been a sought-after destination for homeowners since its development. With its rich variety of home styles, this neighborhood offers something for everyone.

 

Why Homeowners Love Park Ridge

 

Park Ridge is managed by an HOA that strikes the perfect balance. They maintain the integrity and charm of the neighborhood without overstepping or being intrusive. The well-kept islands in the cul-de-sacs and the private park at the heart of the development are standout features that residents love. These shared spaces are not just about aesthetics—they foster a sense of pride and belonging among neighbors.

The neighborhood’s history is as appealing as its homes. Originally designed with about 160 residences in the 1970s, Park Ridge has evolved over the years, offering a variety of architectural styles that give each home its unique character. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of a mid-century aesthetic or the modern updates of a newer build, you’ll find it here.

 

An Unbeatable Location

 

Park Ridge doesn’t just offer beautiful homes and a welcoming community—it also boasts an unbeatable location. The neighborhood is just a short drive from Chambers Bay Golf Course and Trails, an internationally acclaimed destination that offers breathtaking views, world-class golfing, and miles of walking and biking paths. Whether you’re looking to hit the greens, explore the trails, or simply enjoy the stunning Puget Sound vistas, Chambers Bay is right at your doorstep.

 

In addition, Park Ridge is located within the boundaries of University Place’s top-rated schools, making it a highly desirable neighborhood for families. The combination of excellent education, a safe and friendly atmosphere, and easy access to outdoor recreation truly makes this community one of a kind.

STORIES FROM HOME

"From the moment we began working with Madison and Regina, we knew we were in exceptional hands. Their gracious professionalism, deep knowledge, and genuine warmth shaped every step of our journey.


Although we’ve purchased homes before, their continual updates, thoughtful explanations, and steady, patient support made us feel genuinely cared for.
When we unexpectedly lost a property due to an unethical selling agent, they stood by us with calm, unwavering professionalism.


We wholeheartedly recommend trusting this exceptional team with life’s most important real estate milestones.

When the day comes for a new chapter and the search for our final, forever dream home, we will undoubtedly call on Madison and Regina again." E. SANDSTROM | TACOMA, WA

Meet Jen Sandstrom of Eat in Washington

By RM Home Specialists • September 14, 2026
Your beautifully curated list of what’s worth eating, seeing + doing around Washington. Jen is one of those people who creates the vibe. She married into a family my husband and I have known for a long time, and over the years I’ve seen just how thoughtful and intentional she is. She lives in the cutest Craftsman in Central Tacoma, hosts the warmest gingerbread competition Christmas party, and her wedding week in the San Juan Islands was one of the most beautiful celebrations. She has an eye for the details that make something feel special. So it makes perfect sense that she’s completely immersed herself in the local scene with @eatinwashington . I love knowing what’s new, fun, and delicious around here. But with two kids, it’s nearly impossible to actually keep up with all of it. Jen does the heavy lifting for us. Through her lens, Eat in Washington has become a beautifully curated highlight reel of Washington’s must-eat, must-see and must-do. The new restaurant worth making a reservation for. The coffee shop you haven’t tried. A special dinner happening for one weekend. A day trip, market or stay that deserves a spot on your list. And because Jen herself is so intentional, her recommendations feel intentional too. She notices more than whether the food is good. It’s the space, service, story, lighting, people, and all the little details that create an experience. We asked Jen to give us the list.

Multigenerational Living Meets a Dream Backyard in Lakewood. There are homes with extra square footage—and then there are homes where that square footage actually gives you options. At 11409 Cloverdale Court SW in Lakewood , more than 4,100 square feet creates the kind of flexibility that is getting harder to find: room to live together without necessarily living on top of each other. And that matters because the way people use their homes is changing.
