Life in Kingston: Little City by the Sea
Kingston offers the best of both worlds: The small-town feel and outdoor amenities of north Kitsap County but with easy access to Seattle and other points eastward via the Kingston-Edmonds car/passenger ferry or the Kingston-Seattle Fast Ferry.
Custom Homes in Kingston
With its proximity to the Sound, Kingston offers much in the way of waterfront and water-view parcels. But that also means tough requirements for engineered drainage and setbacks for septic, well, and shoreline. Sloped lots also may need a geotech report. Estes Builders can help you navigate these and other unique considerations while ensuring your home design makes the best use of your lot’s amenities.
Here are just a few of the highlights of owning a home in Kingston:
