Bellingham Real Estate  l Bellingham Homes For Sale | Bellingham Neighborhoods

Cornwall Park is best known for its namesake, a large treed park that is very active and contains a playground, baseball fields, spray water park, wooded trails, hills, horseshoe pits, tennis courts, picnic shelters, and a disc golf course. One of the most popular Bellingham parks, especially during the warmer months of the year.

Surrounding Cornwall park are a variety of craftsman style homes built between the early 1900's and 1960's. The homes in the area tend to be single family homes, well taken care of and on comfortable lots. Homes also line Meridian Street until West Illinois Street where Meridian enters the Fountain District, a shopping area that has some of Bellingham's older, established businesses and buildings. There is a good mixture of retail serving the community and well established neighborhoods within the Cornwall Park community.

To the southwest, homes generally are smaller, and many are duplexes. By contrast, the southeastern corner of the neighborhood is home to Broadway Park and the large, older homes that surround it. The Roeder Home, now owned by the Bellingham Parks Department, is a landmark that draws people in for weddings, recitals and craft events. The house was built in 1903 by the grandson of Henry Roeder, who was one of Bellingham's founders. Cornwall Park homes are well sought after in the Bellingham real estate market and usually don't stay on the market for long.
