Types of apartment in Poulsbo, WA

Around Viking Avenue and toward College Market Place, many apartments have a suburban look with pitched roofs, lap siding, shared parking lots, and exterior stairways. Interiors often include open living rooms, in-unit laundry in newer places, and compact kitchens in older ones.On the north side and out toward Finn Hill, rentals shift more toward duplexes, cottages, and houses for rent with wood siding, decks, and larger setbacks.
