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.

For non-residents, “Bainbridge Island” is synonymous with the area of Winslow. Much of that association stems from island access at the ferry terminal and only seeing Winslow Way. And while those of us living here think of the island in so many other lights, the many island visitors are not too far off - at least from a commercial perspective. In addition to housing the tourist shops and dining of Winslow Way, the region also holds the bulk of the shopping needs essential to the island at the intersection of 305 and High School Rood. And as the epicenter of Bainbridge life, it also houses many of the cultural venues as well. Housing here reflects the concentration and convenience of the area, with most running from condominium and duplex to single family units on smaller parcels relative to remainder of the island.
