Located at the northernmost tip of the island, Agate Point is a quiet neighborhood with mature evergreens towering overhead. The area has multiple beach access points and is a great place to launch a kayak or do some fishing along Agate Pass. It also boasts something that no other location can, namely a bridge. As such, it is an ideal place for those whose lives frequently take them to the Kitsap Peninsula or beyond. The downside of being on the northern end of 305 is needing to get into Winslow in the morning during the am rush hour.

Lynwood Center has become one of the most sought-after communities on Bainbridge. With its cozy European architecture, unique shops, restaurants, and movie theater, the area and Pleasant Beach Village have become the cultural and culinary hub for the southern end of the island. These areas are also located close to nearby Fort Ward Park to the south, have beach access, and are in proximity to Gazzam Wildlife Preserve. Homes can vary from low bank waterfront to single family community dwellings to condominium.
