Tucked along Yelm Highway on the east side of Tumwater, the Capitol City Golf Club area is one of the most established residential pockets in the city. The 18-hole Capitol City Golf Club has anchored this neighborhood since 1962, and the surrounding streets — Crosby Boulevard, 65th Avenue SE, and the cul-de-sacs that fan off the fairways — feel calm, mature, and lived-in.
Homes here lean toward mid-sized to larger single-family on generous lots. You'll see a lot of 1980s–2000s construction with updated kitchens and well-kept yards, plus a smaller number of newer custom builds. Some properties back directly to the course; others enjoy the quiet without the golf-ball risk.
Schools are a big draw — most of the area is zoned for Black Lake Elementary or Peter G. Schmidt Elementary, then Tumwater Middle School and Tumwater High School, all part of the well-regarded Tumwater School District. Commutes are easy: about 10 minutes to I-5 via Yelm Hwy and Henderson, 12 minutes to the State Capitol Campus, and a quick drive to the Black Lake recreation area.
