Silverdale sits on the picturesque shores of Dyes Inlet in Kitsap County, just six miles south of Naval Base Kitsap. This waterfront community features small-town charm in Old Town Silverdale alongside extensive shopping options around Kitsap Mall. The area features boutique apartment communities and townhomes with easy access to waterfront parks and walking paths along the inlet.

Renters appreciate Silverdale's two distinct areas - the historic waterfront district with its marina, restaurants, and specialty shops, and the commercial hub featuring Kitsap Mall and numerous retail options. The Silverdale Way corridor offers newer rental communities with upscale amenities, while neighborhoods like Ridgetop and Central Valley provide more spacious townhomes and single-family rental homes. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy Clear Creek Trail, a 5-mile nature path perfect for walking or cycling.

Commuting from Silverdale is convenient with Washington State Route 3 connecting to Bremerton (9 miles) and Poulsbo (9 miles). Many residents work at Naval Base Kitsap, the area's largest employer, or at St. Michael Medical Center, which opened an expanded facility in 2020. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,830, with rental options ranging from waterfront properties to homes nestled among the evergreens that characterize the Pacific Northwest landscape.
