Port Townsend Neighborhoods Port Townsend is a small town, geographically as well as in 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....
Located to the west of North Beach, this lovely wooded area is known for tall firs and cedars, northwest style custom homes, common spaces of natural plants, and long serene walking trails. Homes range in size from around 1800 sq. ft. to over 3000 and most lots are 10000 sq. ft. or more. There are some CC&R's which are very limited and short, mostly to rule out manufactured homes and building on lots sub standard lots. Homes range in price from the low 300'000's to $665,000. There is a strong sense of community in the neighborhood, children at play, and a wonderful smell of pine trees |
Hi, Sandra. You did a great job describing this neighborhood. The picture goes well with the words; you've really captured the feel of it. I can almost smell the pines!
