Gig Harbor Neighborhoods
Fox Island, Gig Harbor
Fox Island sits off the southwest corner of the Gig Harbor peninsula, connected by a single bridge over Hale Passage. The perimeter is waterfront in nearly every direction, from high-bank view lots to low-bank beach frontage, while the interior holds larger acreage parcels. The single access point and the absence of commercial development define how the island lives and how its real estate trades.
What makes Fox Island different
One bridge in, one bridge out
The Fox Island bridge is the only access, and it shapes everything: commute planning, insurance considerations, and buyer commitment. People who buy here have decided they want an island, not just a house.
Wells and septic are the norm
Most of the island runs on private wells and septic systems. Flow tests, septic inspections, and system age belong in every offer strategy here.
Waterfront in every direction, none of it identical
East-facing frontage on Hale Passage, south-facing views toward the Olympics, high bank versus low bank: the island offers nearly every waterfront type in one market, and each one prices differently.
