Yeomalt and Ferncliff are both centrally located along Bainbridge’s eastern shoreline from Wing Point to Murden Cove. As such, they provide a long strip of east-facing coastline with beautiful views of downtown Seattle. In addition, there are numerous small, and more affordable homes within these areas. In either case, the neighborhoods offer significant convenience and are within easy biking or a five to six-minute drive from the ferry terminal as well as Winslow. While the Wing Point neighborhood lacks the length of shoreline - apart from the multimillion dollar homes along the point itself – the neighborhood rates even higher in terms of convenience. Whether going to the ferry, downtown Winslow, or the shopping center on High School Road and 305, few neighborhoods can match it for overall convenience on the island.

Located in the southern end of the island, Ford Ward is a historic neighborhood perched on a sunny hilltop. Lot and home size can vary and accommodate most budgets. The areas appeals are often outdoors, including close proximity to Fort Ward Park with its miles of trails and roads. This section of the island has great walking and biking with numerous challenging hills. Additionally, it is not far from the Lynwood Center and all of its cultural offerings.
