Discovering Racquet Club Estates: Another Lakewood Hidden Gem

RM Home Specialists loves Lakewood, Washington! Full of charming neighborhoods, Racquet Club Estates stands out as a peaceful, welcoming community with a lifestyle that combines convenience with suburban tranquility. Developed at the same time as the private Lakewood Sport and Racquet Club in the 1960’s; this neighborhood feature larger lots, a variety of well-maintained homes, and mature landscaping in a central location that puts residents close to everything they need.

 

Madison and I have been fortunate to represent both buyers and sellers in this neighborhood. Over the years, several homes have seen updates that bring contemporary conveniences while retaining their original charm, making this area a perfect choice for families and retirees alike.

 

Location is one of Racquet Club Estates’ best assets. The neighborhood sits just a few minutes from Lakewood’s shopping centers, dining spots, and recreational facilities. Residents have quick access to Lakewood Towne Center, where they can find popular retail stores, grocery shopping, and a variety of dining options. Those who love outdoor activities can easily reach Fort Steilacoom Park, with its expansive trails, sports fields, dog park, and picturesque lake. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate that Oakbrook Golf Club and the American Lake Golf Course are also nearby. The Sport club has indoor and outdoor pickleball and tennis courts as well as a pool, gym and instructions. They have memberships for all, including a summer-only option for families. 

 

For commuters, Racquet Club Estates is conveniently close to I-5 and Highway 512, making it easy to reach Tacoma, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, or even Seattle for a day trip. Despite its accessibility, the neighborhood retains a quiet, residential feel—providing the best of both worlds.

 

Racquet Club Estates is an ideal community for those seeking an established neighborhood with a sense of history, natural beauty, and access to modern amenities. Whether you’re looking to settle into a spacious family home or downsize to something cozier, this development offers a unique blend of charm, convenience, and connection.

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. Their stylish eye, family‑centered spirit, and heartfelt dedication set them apart in every way. 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.

One Home, More Ways to Live

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.
