Barkley Village Homes For Sale

Barkley Village was initially known as the Mt. Baker neighborhood. This area is an excellent combination of residential, commercial, and light industrial land; it is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in Bellingham.

Read More From the city of Bellingham: The Barkley Neighborhood was created in 2010 as part of the northern neighborhood boundary review project. Approval of a number of large annexations caused several of the north-end neighborhoods to grow very large. Some residents asked the City to review the boundaries of the Mt. Baker, Guide Meridian/Cordata, Meridian, and King Mountain Neighborhoods in 2009. As a result, the Mt. Baker Neighborhood was divided into two new neighborhoods in 2010, Irongate and Barkley.

The Barkley Neighborhood contains 814 acres, primarily south of Sunset Drive and north of the Roosevelt and Alabama Hill Neighborhoods. It has various land uses, including a regional-scale commercial development at the Sunset/I-5 interchange (Sunset Square). However, the neighborhood’s focal point is the Barkley Urban Village development located around the Woburn/Barkley Boulevard intersection. This development is one of the first urban villages to be built in the city. It includes a mix of industrial, retail, professional offices, and residential development.

Residential development in the neighborhood was facilitated by the mid-1990s construction of Barkley Boulevard from Britton Road to Orleans Street. This opened up the west-facing slope of Alabama Hill, where a number of subdivisions have been built. Barkley Boulevard is flanked by new homes with expansive city and bay views as it winds up Alabama Hill.

The existing character of the neighborhood, as well as the presence of open space areas, trails, and view corridors, continue to be valued by neighborhood residents. Careful consideration in developing zoning designations and in reviewing projects for zoning compliance should continue to emphasize and preserve these characteristics.
