Imagine waking up to water views, gliding to an early tee time, then reaching downtown Seattle in a single ferry ride. If you want an island lifestyle without feeling far from the city, Wing Point in 98110 sits in a rare sweet spot. You get a peninsula setting with golf, shoreline, and a quick connection to Winslow’s shops and the Bainbridge ferry. In this guide, you’ll learn how Wing Point lives day to day, what homes cost, the buyer profiles it fits best, and the practical checks to make before you buy. Let’s dive in.
Wing Point at a glance
Wing Point is the peninsula that extends into Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island. Locals know it for quiet residential streets, the private Wing Point Golf & Country Club, and a mix of bluff and low-bank waterfront. You are only a short drive from Winslow’s restaurants, galleries, and everyday services. Many addresses see door-to-door Seattle commutes in roughly 60 to 90 minutes, with a ferry crossing commonly around 35 minutes dock to dock.
The real estate landscape
Wing Point is a small, high-demand market with limited inventory. As of January 2026, Redfin reported a neighborhood median sale price around $2.3 million, with price per square foot trending above island averages. Because sales volume is thin, month-to-month medians can shift quickly. If you are active in the market, plan to refresh comps and trends right before you write an offer.
Home types and price bands
You will see an appealing mix of eras and styles. Older waterfront cottages, mid-century and ranch homes, 1970s to 1990s golf-community builds, and contemporary rebuilds on premium lots are all part of the fabric. Interior and golf-adjacent homes often trade from the high six figures to low and mid seven figures, commonly about 900,000 to 2 million plus depending on size and condition. Top-tier waterfront estates are solidly multi-million, with recent examples on Madrona Drive illustrating the upper end of the market near the mid to high five millions.
Lots, HOAs, and club membership
Interior golf-neighborhood parcels are typically subdivided lots, while waterfront parcels vary more in width and bank height. Some streets include small neighborhood associations with modest dues. The Wing Point Golf & Country Club is a separate private organization, so real estate ownership does not include club membership. For current categories, initiation, and dues, review the club’s site and contact the office directly at the Wing Point Golf & Country Club.
Lifestyle and convenience
Wing Point’s lifestyle centers on golf, shoreline outlooks, and a near-Winslow location. The private club anchors the neighborhood with 18 holes, dining, a pool, tennis, and social programming for members. Just beyond the peninsula, Winslow’s village core brings you bakeries, boutiques, and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, so daily errands stay simple.
Parks, trails, and shoreline access
You can pair quiet neighborhood streets with nearby public waterfront and trails. Hawley Cove Park and the Bainbridge Waterfront Trail offer boardwalks, viewpoints, and beach access near the head of Eagle Harbor. The island’s parks community continues to add and connect trails to improve walkability to Winslow and shoreline segments, a vision supported by the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation.
Getting to Seattle
The Seattle to Bainbridge route is the island’s primary link to the city. Typical crossing time is about 30 to 40 minutes, with total door-to-door commutes often 60 to 90 minutes depending on whether you walk on or drive on. Washington State Ferries has been updating schedules and service reliability, so it is smart to check current plans on the WSDOT schedule update page.

Local transit connections
Kitsap Transit provides on-island buses and on-demand services that align with ferry sailings. Frequency and coverage can vary by route and day of week, so confirm options for your specific address. You can preview service maps and current offerings through Kitsap Transit.
Who Wing Point fits
- Move-up Bainbridge buyers who want golf or waterfront proximity in a quiet peninsula setting.
- Seattle relocation buyers seeking a hybrid-friendly base with island privacy and reasonable ferry access.
- Retirees and downsizers looking for a high-amenity location with potential water views and optional club life.
Key benefits and balanced tradeoffs
Wing Point’s selling points are strong. You get a close-in island address, mature landscaping, privacy, and for some parcels, water views in multiple directions. Club access adds a social and recreational layer if you choose to join. The tradeoffs are real but manageable. Prices sit at a higher tier, inventory is limited, interior lanes can be less walkable than central Winslow, and shoreline parcels come with coastal permitting considerations.
Smart buyer checklist
- Confirm current market data. Neighborhood medians can move fast in a small sample, so review fresh comps and price per square foot right before you offer.
- Clarify club membership. Ask whether you must apply, what the initiation and dues are, and whether there is a waitlist. Start with the Wing Point Golf & Country Club.
- Review shoreline rules. Wing Point waterfront falls under the City’s Shoreline Master Program. Before planning docks, armoring, or major shoreline work, read the code and check permit history in the Bainbridge Island SMP.
- Assess bluff conditions. High-bank lots are common in places. Order an engineering review, look into erosion history, and confirm insurance early in due diligence.
- Verify HOA and CCRs. Some streets have modest dues and recorded covenants. Request documents up front, understand maintenance scopes, and budget accordingly.
- Map your commute. Check current Washington State Ferries schedules and parking, then layer in Kitsap Transit connections. Start with WSDOT’s update hub and Kitsap Transit.
- Confirm school assignment. Wing Point addresses are within the Bainbridge Island School District. Verify the specific schools per property with BISD.
Wing Point vs. Winslow
If you prioritize walkable coffee runs and the quickest walk-on ferry access, Winslow puts you at the center of the village grid. Wing Point trades that immediate walkability for peninsula privacy, golf access, and more options for water orientation. For many buyers, it strikes the right balance of near-town convenience and a quieter residential feel.
