Community boasting outdoor adventures along Yukon Harbor
Along the Yukon Harbor, the Southworth neighborhood first attracted vacationers with water views and expansive outdoor recreation. Today, many of the vacation spots have since been repurposed as multigenerational homes and income properties.
Much of the area remains undeveloped and has preserved much of the natural environment and natural habitats. “In Southworth, you have everything from wildlife in the water to eagles on your property,” says broker Kristine Milkovich, co-founder of The Milkovich Team, with 11 years of experience in the Seattle area.

Outdoor recreation from Yukon Harbor to Harper Park
Recreation abounds in Southworth, from the Yukon Harbor, to major Kitsap County parks. Banner Forest Heritage Park has 636 acres while Long Lake County Park has 27 acres. Both parks have miles of wooded trails. Anglers cast lines off Long Lake’s pier, and boaters drag thrill seekers on tubes. Harper Park spans 47 acres along Southworth’s rocky waterfront and has a baseball field and a mile-long dirt trail. Up the road, along the harbor, is Harper Fishing Pier for fishing and crabbing. Dogs run off leash in a designated area at Howe Farm Park, which spans 83 acres and has a loop trail that extends over a mile and weaves past farmhouses that Kitsap County has restored.
Enjoy picnics and peaceful moments by the waterfront at Harper Park.

Homes along the Yukon Harbor
Single-family, include early 1920s bungalows to early 2000 Craftsman houses and ranch-style homes make up the neighborhood. Scattered between the inland multiacre lots and the properties along Yukon Harbor, where walkways connect private docks to homes built to combat potential flood risks. “In my 11 years, I have never sat in an interview where someone has said they’ve owned lots for four generations, and here you see a lot of that where many owners and families have passed on these waterfront beach properties," Milkovich says. "You also have full-time residents living in Seattle who want that dream lifestyle on the waterfront and want to retreat, own an Airbnb, or have income properties in these storybook places.” Waterfront houses start at roughly $725,000 on less than an acre and go up to $2.3 million on over 7 acres. Inland properties range from one to three acres, including bungalows listed roughly between $340,000 and $600,000 and ranch-style homes list between $410,000 and $880,000.
