Arrow Point & Battle Point

 

Arrow Point & Battle Point Neighborhood Overview

Arrow Point and Battle Point occupy a lovely section of Bainbridge Island that combines coastal living, forested surroundings, and proximity to local amenities. The area is perhaps best known for the broad acreage of Battle Point Park — giving the community access to extensive green space, trails, and shoreline-adjacent living. Arrow Point represents the more residential and shoreline-facing edge of this community, with many homes enjoying partial water or greenbelt views, peaceful surroundings, and easy access to the park and island amenities.

Residents are drawn to the mix of outdoor recreation, quiet residential streets, water and forest proximity, and a relaxed island pace. It suits families, retirees, nature lovers, and anyone wanting a balance of suburban calm + natural surroundings on Bainbridge Island.
