Connecting a city feel with coastal calm
Manette is a blend of city and coastal, with sidewalks woven throughout to keep the neighborhood connected to the Puget Sound’s shores and downtown businesses. “Downtown Manette is super charming, quiet, and elegant with proximity to the ferry,” says Cassandra Lopez, Bremerton local and managing broker with Keller Williams West Sound. “It’s walkable, so you can get that city feel without living in a super dense area like Downtown Bremerton.” Manette’s locally owned businesses downtown, some of which have been around for decades, are a source of pride in the community.
Manette Bridge is known for commuting via foot and bike with it's own dedicated lane in Manette.

Cape Cod cottages around the Puget Sound
As with many coastal towns, Manette’s shore vibe is emphasized with colorful homes near the water. Cape Cod cottages from the 1940s are often decorated with shake siding, listing between $420,000 for a two-bedroom and $540,000 for a four-bedroom. Although mostly single-family homes line the streets, apartment complexes and condominiums also dot the waterfront. Condos list between $250,000 for a one-bedroom and $475,000 for a three-bedroom. “The neighborhood was built on a hill, so lots of the properties have really fantastic views of Olympic Mountain, the shipyard, or all the above,” Lopez says. Waterview properties vary in styles from 1930s bungalows to 1960s contemporary homes and fall within the price range of $850,000 to $965,000. Homes along the water are may be more susceptible to flooding, so if they are not built on the hill, to combat the possibility, they are raised above ground level.

Off Wheaton Way, Bremerton Ice Center welcomes skaters of all skill levels for lessons and open skate times. The facility is the home rink for the West Sound Warriors Junior A hockey club.

Bremerton Bridge Blast celebration
Manette Bridge connects the neighborhood to Downtown Bremerton, joining its neighbor in celebration during the annual Bremerton Bridge Blast. Day activities such as face painting and local craft and food vendor sales are held on Bremerton’s boardwalk and at Evergreen-Rotary Park. The main event, the fireworks show, is viewable from as far south as Port Orchard. The sound banks fill with eager spectators, patiently waiting for the first pop; meanwhile, boaters anchor their vessels for a closer view of the show.
Trips around the roundabout and over Manette Bridge
Wheaton Way connects Manette to Downtown Bremerton by directing traffic to the roundabout on the way to the Manette Bridge. The bridge is outfitted with lights and a walking path, opening the community’s access to Downtown Bremerton. “Manette’s roads are extra wide, so it’s for two cars, but you could practically do a full U-turn in the road. You have that much breathing room,” Lopez says. Seattle commuters can access the ferry by traveling one mile south to the port in Downtown Bremerton. The fast ferry is only accessible by foot, connecting travelers to Seattle in half the time as the regular ferry, which allows drivers to bring their cars.

Downtown Manette’s lineup of local businesses
Manette’s downtown, which extends from 11th Street to Shore Drive, features many locally owned businesses. “Two sisters is a local jewelry store that does all custom work, so they don’t have that type of conveyor jewelry where it’s the same mold over and over,” Lopez says. Down the street, Paul’s Flowers has created arrangements for over 80 years. The Boat Shed sits on the water and has served seafood for over 30 years. Diners can arrive by boat and dock or walk up. “Larry & Kristi’s Bakery is well known among the Puget Sound Naval shipyard, says Janis Ehlert, a broker with Legacy Professionals RE Inc., who has sold homes in the area for over six years. “It’s within walking distance, and employees are notorious for providing donuts for their coworkers, and when they do, they’re expected to go to that shop specifically.” When running errands, Wheaton Way brings shoppers north to Fred Meyer for weekly groceries and stretches to the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale for major retailers such as Macy’s.
