Shoreside homes and cul-de-sacs off Madrona Drive

Cul-de-sacs branch off primary thoroughfares, including Madrona Drive, a loop in the neighborhood’s northern section. In the 2020s, contemporary homes joined the 1980s ranch-style and 1990s new traditional styles. Painted in muted tones, contemporary homes list between $400,000 and $515,000. “The neighborhood was mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s, so many homes sit on reasonably sized lots that are typically bigger than the new construction lots, with nice yards, established landscaping and a neighborhood feel,” says Marcie Martin, a managing broker with Martin Real Estate Group, with over two decades of experience. Ranch-style homes list between $430,000 and $545,000 unless accompanied by over 2 acres, in which case they can list as high as $1.3 million. Depending on whether houses are further inland or closer to the water, new traditional homes list between $715,000 and $1.2 million.
Elegant and inviting, Parkwood's new traditional homes are perfect for modern families.

Bill Bloomquist ballfields, balance beams and golf balls

South Kitsap Regional Park, known locally as “Jackson Park,” spans 209 acres along Parkwood’s western edge. On the weekends, three ballfields welcome Little League baseball and softball players. The challenging Explorer Trail is a loop lined with obstacles such as balance beams and steppingstones. Children hang on to and climb the park’s playground equipment. “Kitsap Steamers is a miniature steam engine track that runs through the park, and they have events throughout the year, including special events for Halloween, where adults and children can climb aboard and go through the woods,” Martin says. Bill Bloomquist Rotary Park has two recreational fields. Village Greens Golf Course features 18-holes and a covered driving range.
