Sheridan Park is one of those East Bremerton neighborhoods that flies under the radar but deserves more attention. It is one of the most centrally-located pockets in the whole city, has the most diverse housing mix (condos, duplexes, fourplexes, single-family), prices that fall at the more affordable end of Bremerton's overall market, and walking-distance access to Lions Park, Sheridan Village restaurants, and the future Harrison Heights redevelopment. For buyers chasing value-with-convenience, it is one of my favorite neighborhoods to send people to.
Where Sheridan Park is
Sheridan Park is in East Bremerton, just over the Warren Avenue Bridge from downtown Bremerton. It sits between downtown to the west, Wheaton Way (the main East Bremerton commercial corridor) to the east, and Lions Park on the waterfront. Tracyton Boulevard borders the north side, which connects out to Silverdale.
The location is the headline feature. From most Sheridan Park homes you can get to:
- Downtown Bremerton — about 5 minutes by car
- Bremerton ferry terminal (Seattle ferry, 60 min WSF or 28 min Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry) — about 5 minutes
- Puget Sound Naval Shipyard — about 5 minutes (huge if you work there)
- Manette — about 5 minutes
- Wheaton Way shopping/restaurants — under 5 minutes
- Silverdale (Costco, Target, the mall, Best Buy) — about 15 minutes via Tracyton Boulevard (one of the more scenic drives in Bremerton)
If you work at the shipyard or commute on the Bremerton ferry, Sheridan Park is one of the most efficient locations in the city.
The housing mix (one of Bremerton's most diverse)
Where some Bremerton neighborhoods are mostly single-family or mostly condos, Sheridan Park has all of it within a few blocks:
- Single-family homes — mostly older (1940s-1970s), smaller lots, mixed conditions
- Condos — multiple complexes in the area, often the most affordable entry point into Bremerton homeownership
- Duplexes and fourplexes — interesting for owner-occupant investors (live in one unit, rent the others)
- Apartment buildings — primarily rental, but worth knowing about for the neighborhood mix
That diversity has a few implications. The rental market in Sheridan Park is active (good if you ever want to convert your home to a rental). The housing prices skew lower because the supply is broader. And the mix attracts a wider demographic, which keeps the neighborhood culturally active.
Sheridan Park sits at the more affordable end of Bremerton's market. Single-family homes typically run from the high $300Ks to $500Ks. Condos and duplexes start lower.

Lions Park (the waterfront perk)
Lions Park is the big East Bremerton waterfront park bordering Sheridan Park, and it is genuinely outstanding for a city park. What's there:
- Large open green spaces for events and casual recreation
- Baseball fields
- Tennis courts
- Pickleball courts (heavily used)
- Basketball courts
- Water access (Port Washington Narrows)
- Olympic Mountain views
- Walking paths along the water
For families, this is a major lifestyle advantage. Kids can walk to the park. Pickleball and tennis communities are active. Summer evenings often have crowds watching the sunset over the Olympics. It is the kind of park people will drive across town to use, and you live walking distance to it.
Sheridan Village (your walking-distance amenities)
Sheridan Village is the small commercial hub right inside the neighborhood. What's currently there:
- Heathen's Bakery — well-loved local bakery
- Restaurant Lola — one of the nicer East Bremerton restaurants
- A pizzeria
- Physical therapists and medical offices
- An art studio
- Sheridan Park Community Center — basketball court and rotating activities throughout the year
- Bremerton Community Theatre right next door
It is not a downtown Manette in terms of walkability density (see my best neighborhoods piece for that comparison). But you have a real bakery, a real restaurant, and a real community center within walking distance, which is meaningful.
Harrison Heights (the future)
Harrison Heights is the redevelopment of the old Harrison Hospital site, which sits just up the road from Sheridan Park. The hospital relocated to Silverdale years ago, leaving the original campus open. The city of Bremerton has been working on redevelopment plans for the site, with multiple proposals under consideration.
What is likely (though not guaranteed): a meaningful new commercial and residential mix is coming to that site in the next 3-7 years. Whatever shape it takes, it adds amenities to East Bremerton and Sheridan Park homes are likely to appreciate as a result, since they are within walking distance.
This is one of those neighborhood factors that does not show up in current Zestimate or Redfin data because it has not happened yet. It is the kind of upside that informed buyers are paying attention to.
Who Sheridan Park is right for
I send buyers here when they want:
- Maximum value-for-location. Sheridan Park is the highest-leverage central location in Bremerton at the lower end of the price range.
- Short commute to the shipyard or ferry. If your daily routine starts at PSNS or the Bremerton ferry, Sheridan Park is one of the fastest neighborhoods to live in.
- Walking-distance amenities without paying Manette prices. Sheridan Village + Lions Park is a meaningful walkable combination at a lower entry point.
- Diverse housing options. Condos, duplexes, single-family. More choice than most Bremerton neighborhoods.
- Future-appreciation upside. Harrison Heights redevelopment is a meaningful tailwind for the area.
It is less right for: buyers who want large lots, mature trees, or a quiet rural feel. Those are Illahee or Rocky Point territory. Sheridan Park is dense, mixed, and central — a city-neighborhood feel.
How Sheridan Park fits in the broader Kitsap picture
If you are weighing Sheridan Park against other Kitsap options:
- If you want walkable downtown character: Manette beats it (smaller lots, older homes, full walkable commercial strip), but at a higher price point.
- If you want big lots and privacy: Rocky Point/Marine Drive or Illahee are better fits. Premium for waterfront.
- If you want acreage and rural feel: Seabeck/Crosby/Holly on the west side.
- If you want premium views and don't mind paying for them: Bainbridge Island (the most expensive Kitsap option) or waterfront in any of the above.
