The Battle Point and Arrowpoint neighborhoods are centrally located to the hubs of Bainbridge’s outdoor activities, namely Battle Point Park and its multitude of activities and the Grand Forest with its miles of trails. Many of the homes in these neighborhoods are on larger plots and the area is heavily wooded. In addition, the neighborhoods constitute a peninsula and as such has multiple waterfront options, whether along the calm waters of Fletcher Bay, overlooking the Olympics to the west, or along beautiful Manzanita Bay.

Fletcher Bay is a beautiful neighborhood located on the middle west portion of the island. The neighborhood sits on Fletcher Bay which has fantastic views of sunsets over the Olympics. The bay is an incredible spot to go swimming in the summer months because the water tends to be a bit warmer. Given its location, Fletcher Bay is full of beautiful waterfront homes surrounded by towering trees. It is also a relatively short drive to Winslow along New Brooklyn or High School Roads.

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.

This area is located west of Port Madison and off the northern portion of Sunrise Rd. Much of the area is heavily wooded, though there are beautiful farmlands as well on the interior. Lot sizes generally run 0.5 to >1 acre. There are ample shoreline properties as well as water view properties available in the region, though there is a diversity of newer housing available off the coast. The most distinct area is Port Monroe, a run of houses built atop a spit the juts out of the northeast corner of the island. The low bank homes here are flanked by water on both sides. They run from old fishing and vacation cabins to much newer and renovated properties and often boast of views of both the Cascades and the Olympics.
