A sense of calm surrounds Parkwood, from various green spaces to the water of Sinclair Inlet. While some homes overlook the water and others sit across from the Village Greens Golf Course, there is access to well-rated schools, shopping centers, trails and train rides.
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.
Parkwood is part of the South Kitsap School District. Kindergarteners may begin at Orchard Heights Elementary School which earns a B-plus grade from Niche. Starting in sixth grade, students may attend Marcus Whitman Middle before starting at South Kitsap High in ninth grade. Both schools receive a B-minus. South Kitsap High offers an apprenticeship program with welding and ironworking training at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
Southeast Mile Hill Drive and Southeast Sedgwick Road are two main east and west thoroughfares of Parkwood. Madrona Drive creates a loop in the neighborhood’s northern half, connecting to different subdivisions and parks. Kitsap Transit bus stops line Madrona Drive, Southeast Mile Hill Drive and Jackson Avenue Southeast, the primary north and south thoroughfare. For ferry rides to Bremerton, the Annapolis Ferry is 2 miles north, and Port Orchard Ferry is roughly 3 miles northwest.
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.
At the Mile Hill Plaza shopping center, shoppers go to Albertsons or El Guero Mexican Mini Market for groceries. Spiro’s Pizza and Pasta has made dough and soups from scratch for over three decades. Uncle Dave’s Café has also served the community for over 30 years, making classic diner dishes such as biscuits and gravy. Box stores, such as Walmart and Staples, are a 2-mile drive down Lund Avenue.
