about Bellingham
Local Resources
In recent years, Bellingham has been named as one of the most desirable places in the country to live by publications that range from CNN/Money Magazine to Outside Magazine (with Golf Digest, Organic Style, Men's Journal and AARP/Modern Maturity thrown in for good measure)!
As the local paper says, “Bellingham sits on a saltwater bay, within a stone's throw of snow-capped peaks, old-growth forests and miles of hiking trails. It has a top-rated regional university, a diverse retail climate and a lively entertainment scene.
Those quality-of-life factors have put the city on numerous top 10 lists for best places to live, but what truly defines Bellingham is the people who live here — a mix of old-timers and newcomers, urbane and uncomplicated, outdoor enthusiasts and homebodies.”
The Columbia neighborhood, where Eldridge Avenue is located, is “the second oldest neighborhood in Bellingham . . . a quiet, mostly residential haven. Situated on a bluff above Bellingham Bay, the neighborhood boasts several tree-lined streets, turn-of-the-century homes and multiple parks.”
