Wing Point
Welcome to Wing Point
Wing Point is a coastal/peninsular neighborhood on Bainbridge Island, located along the water on the island’s eastern side. It borders or is adjacent to other neighborhoods like Yeomalt Point and Ferncliff, and offers a more private, quiet residential setting compared to the busier downtown core.
Wing Point tends to attract residents who appreciate a blend of waterfront access or proximity + a more secluded, peaceful environment. Homes in Wing Point range from modest older dwellings to larger, upscale waterfront properties — giving a variety of housing styles for different preferences.
🌿 Neighborhood Character & Lifestyle
-
🌲 Wooded, Coastal & Residential Feel — Wing Point offers a semi-secluded, tree-lined, coastal-edge living environment. The mixture of forested lots and shoreline properties gives a balance of privacy and natural beauty.
-
🚶♂️ Laid-back Lifestyle, Within Reach of Conveniences — While Wing Point is more tranquil than downtown, the heart of the island (shops, ferry, amenities) remains accessible — making the neighborhood a good option for those seeking calm without total isolation.
-
🛶 Water & Nature-oriented Living — For residents with the right proximity, access to water, waterfront views or the possibility of boating/kayaking can be part of everyday life — adding to the appeal of a coastal island neighborhood.
-
🏡 Diverse Housing — From Cottages to Waterfront Homes — Wing Point doesn’t cater to a single housing style; long-time islanders, newcomers, and those seeking luxury waterfront homes may all find something that fits in the neighborhood.
Overall, Wing Point represents a quieter, more residential island lifestyle — ideal for people who want a balance between nature, water, and community, without the density of a downtown center.
📍 Points of Interest & Local Amenities Near Wing Point
Because Wing Point is primarily residential and low-density, its “points of interest” are often natural and neighborhood-adjacent — but there are a few notable amenities and nearby conveniences that make it appealing:
-
🌊 Shoreline & Waterfront Access / Views — Many properties in or near Wing Point offer views or easy access to the water (Puget Sound), making for peaceful waterfront living, water recreation, or scenic vistas.
-
🏞 Proximity to Parks & Island Nature — Residents benefit from Bainbridge Island’s overall natural scenery — forests, shorelines, and island-wide trails/green spaces — giving a sense of openness and connection to nature.
-
🛍️ Convenient Access to Downtown (Winslow) — Even though Wing Point is more secluded, the island’s main commercial, retail, dining, arts, and ferry hub is reachable within a reasonable drive/bike ride, giving a balance between tranquility and convenience.
-
🚗 Easy Commuting + Access to Services — Living in Wing Point doesn’t mean giving up access to essential services (shopping, health, education) — thanks to the small-island size and good connectivity to the rest of Bainbridge.
Because Wing Point sits on an island with a well-developed communal infrastructure, residents essentially enjoy the “quiet island home + access to island-wide amenities” combo.

🌟 What Makes Wing Point Stand Out
-
Wing Point offers a peaceful, natural, water-adjacent lifestyle that combines privacy and island charm — ideal for those who want to live subtly close to nature.
-
Flexibility in housing — from modest cottages to waterfront homes — gives a broad appeal: singles, couples, retirees, families.
-
Best of both worlds — you get tranquility and a sense of retreat, while still having access to the social, cultural, shopping, and transit amenities of the island.
-
A close-to-nature, laid-back island pace — life here tends to be slower, quieter, and more reflective than busier urban or downtown districts; good for people valuing calm and community over hustle.
