Modern and rustic homes tucked along Colvos Passage
Homes in Shore Acres start at around $775,000 and can reach up to $1.3 million. Once you drive onto its side streets, the waterside neighborhood feels like a hidden getaway. Reid Drive Northwest serves as the area's primary boulevard. The road is flanked on either side by thick treelines, with residential side streets rolling down toward the water or climbing up inland -- these roads-less-traveled ensconse the area's homes, many merging modern and rustic styles. You'll find beige and green facades built out with exposed wood or siding, shingled roofs, plentiful windows, and solar panels on these waterside properties. "You can find some of the most exclusive homes in Gig Harbor off of Reid Road," says Jennie Wetter, a top three broker in the Gig Harbor area and the managing broker and owner of Infinity Real Estate. "You'll see some beautiful sunrises and views of Mt. Rainier from the easterly-facing homes."
On the edge of Shore Acres you can find modern beach bungalows overlooking the water.

Downtown Gig Harbor, Tides Tavern and Olympic Towne Center
Hungry locals head to downtown Gig Harbor. "Shore Acres is a very desirable place to live," says Wetter. "In part because you can walk to downtown Gig Harbor from some of the homes there." For a bite to eat, residents grab a table at Tides Tavern. Located where you can hear the tide rolling in, this local favorite offers tasty pub food in a relaxed environment. Take a seat at one of the high tables or a booth by the window where you can watch the water lap against the shore. Groceries are close by, too. Just head to the Olympic Towne Center, located off Route 16. Fred Meyer Marketplace is a popular local grocery chain, and there are a number of fast-casual restaurants in the center as well if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.
For a homebuyer looking to move into a desirable community off the water, Shore Ares offers a future surrounded by trees and the atmosphere of Puget Sound.
