Craftsman influence along cul-de-sacs and Puget Sound-side properties
Seattle’s skyline and Blue Island can be seen from Manchester’s waterfront homes, ranging from 1940s Cape Cods to 1970s ranch-styles. Depending on size, these houses list between $806,000 and $1.2 million. Waterfront homes are stilted to combat potential flooding, a risk that decreases along with pricing the further inland homes are located. Depending on lot sizes, inland ranch-style homes list roughly between $390,000 and $700,000. New traditional homes built in the early 2000s bare Craftsman influences and line cul-de-sacs, listing between $440,000 for a three-bedroom and $630,000 for a four-bedroom.

Pomeroy Park picnics, paddleboarding and photo opportunities
Pomeroy Park sits on the Port of Manchester, serving as the community’s gateway to Puget Sound since 1923. “Pomeroy Park has a beach where people sunbathe, the kids play in the water, picnic and throw frisbees,” says Marcie Martin, who works in Port Orchard as a managing broker with the Martin Real Estate Group. From the park, book enthusiasts can walk to the Manchester Library to select their next favorite read. The library is also known for its annual events, including the Salmon Bake and Book Sale over Father’s Day weekend. “Manchester State Park is much larger than Pomeroy Park and has camping and a historic torpedo warehouse, which is a brick building used a lot for photo opportunities like weddings.” The state park overlooks the Sound, where kayakers and paddleboarders glide across the water. Picnic tables are dispersed along the shoreline for meals, with views of the water and Mount Rainier serving as the backdrop.

Cruising down Colchester Drive to the coast
Colchester Drive branches off Southeast Mile Hill Drive, one of Kitsap County’s primary west- and east-running thoroughfares. Kitsap Transit bus stops dot Colchester Drive north to Manchester’s Main Street, where sidewalks lead from the boat docks to local businesses.Manchester’s Main Street businesses
Locally owned businesses line Main Street in Manchester’s downtown area. Cups Espresso & Café shares a storefront with Harborside Market, a convenience store with a separate ice cream counter. Within walking distance of the Pomeroy Park Boat Ramp is Manchester Pub, where cold beers and bar food pair well with live music. Since Manchester is more removed from busy business districts, shoppers must drive at least 5 miles to reach Albertsons for groceries or Ace Hardware for home project necessities.
