Reviews:
1. "Living on Anderson Island is like being in a different world. It's so peaceful and quiet here, you can really disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life. I love the small-town feel and the friendly neighbors. Plus, the views of the Puget Sound are simply breathtaking." - Sarah J.
2. "I've lived on Anderson Island for over 20 years and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The sense of community here is amazing. Everyone knows each other and we all look out for one another. It's a safe and welcoming place to call home." - John D.
3. "Living on Anderson Island can be a bit isolated at times, but that's part of its charm. You have to take a ferry to get here, so it's not for everyone. But for those of us who appreciate the peace and quiet, it's paradise. The only downside is the limited amenities, but I find that the trade-off is worth it." - Samantha L.
4. "I recently moved to Anderson Island and I have to say, it's exceeded my expectations. The residents here are so friendly and welcoming, and there's always something fun happening in the community. The island has a real sense of camaraderie and togetherness that you don't find in many places these days." - Mark S.

Anderson Island = Mayberry, RFD - 6/2/2010
If you remember Andy Griffith's shows on TV, you'll love Anderson Island. A lot of seniors have retired to the island, as well as a good number of young families looking to escape the problems associated with urban life. The island is heavily wooded, with two freshwater lakes for boating, fishing, and swimming, deer wandering the woods and streets, no stoplights, no paid law enforcement (they come over when called), a modern fire department and emergency transport, an elementary school (older kids commute to school 'off island' by ferry), a tiny post office in the Island General Store, one sit down restaurant and a coffee shop (NOT Starbucks!), a very nice golf course, a small marina, nature preserve park, historic farm, no taverns (just a small beer/wine bar in restaurant), no medical facilities on the island itself, several churches and home churches. Folks with traditional jobs commute to work by ferry, but many Islanders either live off their retirement incomes or work from home.
