University Place is a nice area - has great parks like Chambers Bay, has both Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods (a rarity in this area), and is close to Tacoma for events and restaurants. Steilacoom is much smaller and is a drive from a lot of amenities. Unless you are military, then Steilacoom is one of the best areas near post.
