Lacey is nice, I live there. You’re better off living on post if you’re a single income house and lower enlisted. Otherwise you’re going to need to drop about $4-5k just to move into a place. Most places are going to run you 1500-2000 a month and they will want first month and a months of rent for security deposit.

SSG (Join to see) Lakewood is not all bad. I lived near and around Steilacoom Lake west of the shopping town center and never had any issues. Stay away north near the borders of Tacoma and def stay away from Tillicum (TilliCompton).

The majority of Lakewood and Tacoma, from my experience, isn’t a very great area. I’m sure there are some exceptions, but overall that’s just my opinion. Lacey and DuPont are areas are a good bit nicer with similarly priced housing to those areas.
