Nature-filled community along Dyes Inlet
Fir trees line the drive through Chico, acting as a natural privacy barrier between the homes over which they tower. The land slopes east toward Dyes Inlet, where saltwater calls to boating and fishing enthusiasts. “Chico is the connection between Silverdale and Bremerton, where you’ve got sunrises and waterfront properties,” says Steve Derrig, managing broker with Windermere Real Estate, who has 14 years of selling experience in Kitsap County. Though the neighborhood is not as commercially developed as its neighbors, Silverdale’s shopping and dining centers are only a 3-mile drive north.

Homes from the shoreside to Solitude at Skyfall
Ranch-style homes and bungalows sit shoreside, peaking out from the sea of natural greenery. These 1950s and 1960s homes spread from the Dyes Inlet westward to the Solitude at Skyfall subdivision, where Craftsman homes began taking shape in the early 2020s. “Heading west up Newberry Hill, it’s uphill the entire way,” Derrig says. “You get views of the Cascade Mountains and the taller Seattle buildings.” The 20th-century homes list between $445,000 and $858,000, with the difference in price coming down to size and proximity to the water. Meanwhile, the Craftsman homes list between $985,000 for a three-bedroom and $1.4 million for a four-bedroom.
Outside Solitude at Skyfall, some homes do not fall within the restrictions of homeowners associations. In cases such as Stephen Olson’s, homeowners can use their properties to follow their passions, including farming. “My wife’s dad is 80 years old and grew up on the property – she was born in the house we live in – and the property stayed in the family,” says Olson, owner of Chico Creek Farms, where they raise and sell Kunekune pigs. “There have been farm animals on this property for a long time, but it officially started as a farm about four years ago.”

Commutes along Chico Way Northwest
Chico Way Northwest and Washington state Route 3 are Chico’s main thoroughfare. They run parallel to Dyes Inlet’s western edge, leading 3 miles north to Silverdale and 7 miles south to Bremerton. “One of the best parts of the community is the walking and running down Chico Way, where there’s a wide shoulder,” Olson says. “A source of community feel is when you drive into Silverdale on Chico Way, and people are waving, and you see familiar faces.”

Peak Level Coffee and Silverdale shopping trips
Since Chico has no shopping centers or strip malls, shoppers drive to the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale. They browse the racks at major retailers at the mall and seek out The Trails at Silverdale for box stores. Grocery shoppers buy in bulk at Costco and go across the parking lot to Trader Joe’s for weekly produce and refrigerator items. Peak Level Coffee is the only dining option accessible without leaving the neighborhood. The coffeehouse pours warm cups of caffeine into sleeved to-go cups. Though the coffee shop is the only game in town, with Silverdale close by, dining options are far from limited. Local spots, such as Danny’s BBQ, join restaurant chains in the mix of eateries around the shopping center. “I go to Danny’s BBQ all the time,” Derrig says. “It’s a small spot, but there’s always a line.”

Newberry Hill’s forest trails to rocky shores
Outdoor recreation hugs the neighborhood, from the Newberry Hill’s forest in the west to Dyes Inlet in the east. Dirt trails ranging from under a mile to almost three miles weave through Newberry Hill Heritage Park’s wetlands, forming a loop. Since Chico does not have neighborhood parks, residents drive north into Silverdale. Across Silverdale Waterfront Park’s 2 acres, children explore the seas on the ship-themed playground and hunt for wildlife on the Dyes Inlet shoreline. Docks extend from the park’s rocky beach, giving boaters launch access and a pier for fishermen to cast lines.
Newberry Hill Heritage Park is over 1,000 acres of trails for hiking in the Chico area.
What's down below? Plenty of fish, jelly fish and crab to view at Silverdale Waterfront Park.
