Port Orchard was incorporated as Sidney in 1890, renamed in 1903 and is the county seat. The 2020 Census counted 15,587 residents, up from 11,144 in 2010 (Wikipedia); McCormick Woods joined the city in 2009.
Bay Street (SR 166) is downtown's main street, and the Bremerton foot ferry leaves from here. We judge any Sinclair Inlet view from inside the house, and count the ferry walk only when nearby sales show buyers pay for it.
A golf course community annexed in 2009. In 2012 the Kitsap Daily News counted more than 600 homes here on a STEP sewer system, with the city slowly moving homes to grinder pumps. We confirm which system a house has and whether the lot fronts the course.
In November 2011 the council approved annexing McCormick West, nearly 620 acres west of McCormick Woods Drive SW, where the landowner expected about 1,500 single family homes. We match builder sales and resales on lot size and finish.
Bethel Corridor North, along the Bethel Road retail strip, was approved for annexation in 2011; the Hidden Hills homes sit behind it. A December 2018 tornado hit near Bethel Road SE and SE Lund Avenue (KOMO), so we check rebuild permits against the county build year.
Annapolis sits just east of city limits (Wikipedia), with a weekday foot ferry, and Beach Drive runs on toward Retsil. We confirm city or county status first, then keep saltwater frontage, view only and inland sales apart.
A census place east of the city with a 98353 ZIP, from Rich Passage to Yukon Harbor; the 2020 Census counted 5,714 people (Wikipedia). We check bank height, beach access and exposure on site before using any shoreline sale.
City limits come first: East Port Orchard, Parkwood and Annapolis share the name but not the city. Then water, with Sinclair Inlet frontage, view lots and Long Lake frontage in separate comp sets. Sewer type (gravity, STEP, grinder pump or septic) and build era follow.
Port Orchard lenders send us purchase, refinance and FHA orders. Kitsap executors and family law attorneys hire us without a lender for estate, divorce, pre listing and relocation reports. Kitsap appeals go to the Board of Equalization on Division Street in Port Orchard; see our property tax appeal guide.
Expect a delivery date up front, updates as we go and a clean report. Townhomes take the most care: in 2025 the mayor said Port Orchard lacks them, so sales in town are few. Our deep experience with townhomes, condos and every attached dwelling type tells us which outside sales match on ownership, dues and layout, and the report explains each one.
