Today’s housing market can feel a little like our unpredictable seasonal weather. Just when you think you’ll get a steady stream of sunshine and plan that perfect weekend gathering then *BAM* we’re hit with wind, rain, heat domes, or wildfire smoke.
The same is true when shopping for your first, next, or forever home. You spend hours researching neighborhoods, comparing real estate websites, looking up school districts, and finally pick the perfect listing when *BAM* your in-person, not-touched-up-with-AI-filters tour is underwhelming at best (and a sticky, smelly bidding war at worst).
Rob Rice Homes’ newest community is Summit Place. Nestled close to I-5, restaurants, shopping, and more, you’ll be surrounded by recreational space, picnic areas, and walking trails.
Aim High at Summit Place, Rob Rice’s Newest Amenity-Packed Neighborhood
If you’re tired of the driving-around-every-weekend slog, confusing industry lingo, and fast-paced market, Rob Rice Homes has a solution. Their newest community, Summit Place, has debuted 56 new house sites with plenty of neighborhood amenities. Head over today and you could be hosting the holiday season in your brand-new home-sweet-home.
Summit Place is nestled between Marvin, Mullen, and Ruddell roads in Lacey, with easy I-5 access and just minutes to shopping, dining, and area parks. Homes include luxury ramblers, two-story homes, and main-floor primary suite models ranging from 1,856 to 2,692 square feet.

Five-Star Features Both Indoors and Out at Summit Place
While the weather’s glorious, check out neighborhood amenities like their private recreation areas, pickle ball court, picnic spot, and walking trails. When the seasons change and days get shorter (and damper!), enjoy elevated indoor finishes like high efficiency systems, quartz countertops throughout, hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, and fully landscaped front and backyards.
To kick off the new neighborhood, Helena Rice says they’re proud to feature introductory pricing on the first four new homes, a $10,000 Builder Bonus towards closing costs or upgrades, and elegant white wood blinds throughout your new home.
