Port Townsend Neighborhoods

 Port Townsend is a small town, geographically as well as density of  population.  Situated on the Quimper Peninsula, there is water on three sides, with Admiralty Bay to the East, the Strait of Juan De Fuca to the Nortrh, and Discovery Bay on the west side.  No room for urban sprawl here! There are only 6 or 7 areas that are thought of as distinct neighborhoods, each with it's own abience and characteristics....

•  Bell Neighborhood
• Cape George
• Fort Worden
• Kala Point
• Morgan Hill
• North Beach
• Uptown

Kala Point 

 Just 10 minutes outside of Port Townsend, this lovely planned community has it all...incredible open spaces of tall trees and natural fauna, walking trails, pristine beaches, clubhouse with pool and hot tub, meeting rooms, RV and boat parking area. 

 There is a Home Owners Association with C C & R's and minimal monthly dues.  Kala Point has it's own community well, which serves all homes. 

The 600+ homes have been custom built over the years since the subdivision of the area in the late 70's on 1/3 acre lots, with generous open spaces and common areas in between.  Homes are for the most part Northwest style with natural wood siding and trim, display  a great deal of variety, and are beautifully maintained.  Homes range in size from 1500 sq. feet to 3000+ and range in price from the low $200'000 to an occasional $700,000+ for a special water view property.  You will find some very good values in Kala Point at this time.

There is also an area of condominiums which range in price from low $200's to the high $300's. 

 Port Townsend Waterfront Homes Part Three

Kala Point Waterfront Homes

A 5 or 6 minute drive just outside downtown Port Townsend, Kala Point is a wonderful gated community with acres of green belt, tall oaks and pines, miles of trails and beautiful custom built northwest style homes on large 1/3 acre + lots.  Subdivided in the late 70's, this beautiful little community has wide tree lined streets, low density, a gorgeous beach and lagoon with small pier, boat launch and area for your kayaks; large clubhouse with pool, library, and social/card-room;  tennis courts and well maintained walking paths throughout.  Most amazing are the low $65 per month HOA fees.   

Waterfront homes are not often available, and one just sold last month  in the mid $700's with less than 30 days on the market. 

Still available:

Lovely Custom waterfront bluff home(½ acre lot) on quiet cul de sac that is shared with only 2 other homes.  Incredible views of shipping lanes, Port Townsend city views, Mt.

The  Association of University Women and the University Women's Foundation of Jefferson County are sponsoring their 12th annual Kitchen Tour in Port Townsend.  The money raised will go to support education and scholerships.  This year it will be held in the community of Kala Point from 10 am to 4pm.  This is a wonderful opportunity to get some ideas on great kitchens, as well as get a better look at a wonderful area of Port Townsend. 

Ten private homes will open their kitchens to paying guests ($14 or $18 on Sat.)  with hotesses to give you the details.  This is a great opportunity for realtors with listings in the area for open house tours.  I believe our office has 5-6 on tour tomorrow.  Check it out if you are in the area.
