I am presently priced out of Poulsbo and Silverdale, and wish to live on the Kitsap Peninsula (used to live on Whidbey, presently living in West Texas). Bremerton has places I can afford, but I do not want a high-crime area.

Can anyone help by speaking about the Manette neighborhood of East Bremerton? I need a safe area, where it is safe for my family members to shop and just go about their daily errands (they are somewhat disabled, one is quite elderly, one is young and has a very childlike way, and would be easy targets). Even though I live in a boom town, crime here is negligible and people can wander at all hours with no problems.

THANK YOU to anyone who can speak about Manette or safe areas on Kitsap that might be affordable. I am looking for a very modest home or manufactured home. I keep my eye out for places out a ways but haven't been able to buy. I do need a place to buy, because I have a lot of rescued animals.

Thank you again.

It is alright. It isn't a bad area at all. I would mainly stay away from downtown Bremerton or along Callow Ave. Manette is mostly older homes, but there are a lot of nice views from the neighborhood. The biggest downplay for the neighborhood is the lack of shopping nearby. The closest grocery store is an Albertsons. All other types of shopping are kind of far away. Silverdale is the best shopping area in terms of quantity on the Kitsap Peninsula.

They should be able to wander in the neighborhoods just fine. There are many quiet streets. The sidewalks in most areas are pretty old, and there can be cracks and grass growing, so I don't know if that could be cause of someone tripping or something. Also the neighborhood is built on a hill, so there is an incline.

Manette and other parts of East Bremerton are generally safe. Most crime in this area is property crime. Stranger-on-stranger crime is rare.

A heads-up though, the further away from Hwy. 303 (Wheaton Way), the better. The indigent live in the woods behind the stores along the highway. Not necessarily a dangerous population per se, but caution should be used when you are in the Hwy. 303 area between Lebo Blvd. and Sylvan Way.
