It is very simple why most of my clients chose DuPont over other areas, small town atmosphere vs. urban sprawl.
The town of DuPont is not new by any means. It started as a company town with just a few houses, a butcher shop and a hotel, built by explosives manufacturer E.I du Pont de Nemours Co. in 1906 to house the workers at the explosives plant. The workers bought their homes in 1951, at which time the town was incorporated.
In the early 1990s a vision for a new DuPont Washington was in the planning stages. In 1994 the first development broke ground of what would be called NW Landing. The planners wanted a small town atmosphere with tree-lined streets and distinctive Craftsman-style architecture. They succeeded with an award winning 3,200-acre mixed use planned community. My clients love the ability to walk or bike to local restaurants, coffee shops or commute to work at such places such as Fort Lewis, Intel, or State Farm Insurance among a handful of other businesses.
Quality of life is so very important to people who have orders to transfer into the area.
- Newer schools with high quality education
- Walking and bike paths abound
-
A very short commute to Fort Lewis or the Madigan Army Medical Center
- A transit center to Tacoma, Olympia, and Seattle
I have represented over 37 home buyers and sellers since 1999 that purchased homes in DuPont Washington, none have regretted the decision.
