While the urban aspect that Harbor Square brings to the Island is not for everyone, it does provide an interesting link between Seattle and Bainbridge in my opinion!Anna Thanks for your comment–From what I hear, many who now reside in Harbor Square share your sentiments!

The homes are literally a five minute walk from the ferry, so island fever is not nearly as menacing as it can be farther inland. If I had children, I would not hesitatet to live on the island so they could have the best public education in the state and I could commute to work, then return to my peaceful home in the evening. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the heritage trees beautiful as ever, and kids were playing on the gym area in the middle of the complex. I was curious as well, so I decided to tour an open house. I was in shock at how spacious and light filled the home was- a huge gourmet kitchen and hardwood floors throughout. There's nothing that event compares to that price for brand new construction anywhere near downtown Seattle! Feeling refreshed, I walked down the street past the organic grocery and continued on my island jaunt, visiting Cafe Nola for an early dinner with a friend. As I was walking back to the ferry it stuck me: Harbor Square really does have the best of both worlds- and the residents on Bainbridge Island will keep this their own little secret for as long as they can.
