Recorded names & construction-year samples (4 record groups)

Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.

Evidence: history documented. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.

Questions to take to a showing

The useful details

What changes from one home to the next?

This is a named subdivision. The recorded plat, phase and parcel explain the legal footprint; the community name alone does not establish a home’s age, builder or shared rights.

What the records show

The county research keeps 4 recorded-name groups separate. “PRESERVE AT TUMWATER PLACE, THE DIV 1 (PLAT ALTERATION)” has 188 county records with a year built from 2014–2017, median 2016; sampled residential lots have a 0.11-acre median (190 observations); “THE PRESERVE AT TUMWATER PLACE DIVISION 3” has 183 county records with a year built from 2020–2021, median 2020; sampled residential lots have a 0.11-acre median (183 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address. 2 additional groups appear in the table below.

The sampled county records include VIOLA ST SE in Tumwater. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.

Questions to take to a showing

  • Which recorded plat, phase and lot does the address belong to?
  • What year does the assessor record for this house, and which additions or major replacements have permits?
  • Does the builder evidence apply to this specific lot and phase, and what warranty documents remain?
