This week’s Neighborhood Spotlight is focused on the Cordata neighborhood. The beautiful neighborhood is located in the northern part of Bellingham, located east of Meridian and reaches out to the city limits on the west. It is one of the newer neighborhoods in Bellingham, being created in 2010 to acknowledge the changing demographics and environment of the area. The neighborhood is the home to many large commercial and residential buildings. This includes Whatcom Community College and many different apartment complexes. Housing prices in the area are slightly lower than Bellingham average, making it a great place for people searching for housing value. It is also directly adjacent to one of the city’s largest commercial areas in the Meridian neighborhood, which has shopping and activities to spare. For professionals and families alike, Cordata has a little something for everyone.
Perfect for Professionals
Compared to other neighborhoods in our city, the area is less known for the activities it has and more known for the its professional presence. The neighborhood is home to some of Bellingham’s largest businesses, including Whatcom CC and Peace Health. Cordata is a for the most part a professional neighborhood, but there is fun to be had. Cordata Park has peaceful trails, as well as a large open field to play any amount of games. And of course, you are always mere minutes away from downtown fun, or the adjacent Bellis Fair Mall.
