Discover Beautiful Titlow Beach in Tacoma

Located in the West Slope area of Tacoma, the lovely Titlow Beach community awaits! In 1911, the now Lodge/Chalet-style building was a grand summer hotel destination. With views of Puget Sound, Fox Island, the Narrows Bridges, and the Olympic Mountains, it is a place of stunning beauty and serene nature.

When Aaron Titlow died in 1923, the original hotel was closed and acquired by Tacoma Parks. A few decades later, it underwent a restoration process in which the top two floors were removed. Ever since 1974, the building has been a part of the community and open to the public.

Living Near Titlow Beach

Most homes in the area were constructed between the 1950s and 70s, but in 2014, Quadrant Homes started developing a small group of quality, modern homes. Homeowner Jerry Frazier bought one of these beautiful brand new homes last year: “I love the [proximity] to the water and views! It is easy to commute to work, yet I feel like I’m on vacation when I arrive home.”
