Just a short 10-15 minute drive from bustling Winslow, the charming neighborhoods of Eagledale and Port Blakely feel a world away. The area is known for its views as well as its access to parks. And while the waterfront and water view homes along Rockaway Beach Rd. rightfully get a lot of the attention for their stunning vistas of Seattle and Cascades, the winding inland roads and its large pastoral homes and multiacre lots offer an equal beauty. Add to this the proximity to some of the island’s unique attractions along the south shore of Eagle Harbor and it is easy to see why these neighborhoods are so appealing.

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.
