Top neighborhoods in Bellingham

  • York

    York

    What it’s like to live in York

    Historic homes and tree-lined streets define York, where Bellingham's oldest neighborhood offers character close to downtown. Many apartments occupy divided Victorians and Craftsman homes with details unavailable in newer construction. The neighborhood provides walking access to both downtown amenities and Whatcom Creek trails, though older buildings sometimes bring heating challenges during damp Pacific Northwest winters.

    Happy Valley

    What it’s like to live in Happy Valley

    College-town energy defines Happy Valley, where historic craftsman homes and converted apartments house a mix of Western Washington University students and faculty. Residents enjoy walkable access to Fairhaven Historic District's bookstores and coffee shops, while the Interurban Trail provides car-free commuting options. Though student housing creates seasonal turnover, the neighborhood's progressive community supports local businesses and sustainability initiatives including tool-sharing libraries and community gardens. Many properties feature basement apartments for rental income, while the area's established fruit trees produce abundant harvests shared through neighborhood exchange programs.

    Guide Meridian

    What it’s like to live in Guide Meridian

    Retail convenience defines this corridor near Bellis Fair Mall's 180+ stores. Renters love 1980s courtyard complexes but face 6AM semi-truck noise from Guide Meridian's freight routes. Hidden perk: discounted tickets to Lynden Lighted Parade each December.
