 The York neighborhood is one of my favorite areas of Bellingham. This area is dominated by turn of the century homes. York neighborhood was established in 1888 with most of the homes in this area built between 1890-1920. The architecture of the homes are rich in history, with there sandstone foundations and Victorian era exteriors.
York is one of the smallest neighborhoods in size, but is very compact with about 80% of the area consisting of single family homes. Most of the business located in the York area are in the south, west & a few in the North. The York neighborhood is one of the best places in Bellingham to view large maple trees that line the neighborhood streets. This is a great place to take a walk and enjoy the City of Bellingham's historic past.
York neighborhood is bounded by Whatcom Creek as its northern boundary. Starting at state street and following along until the creek crosses under I-5 and into the Puget Neighborhood. York’s boundary then heads south along the west side of I-5 from Whatcom Creek down past Lakeway drive to Abbott St area. Then the neighborhood goes north along Samish Way, Northwest along Maple St and then north again on Ellis St. The neighborhood then goes Northwest along E. Holly St heading towards downtown to State St. Finally York heads Northeast along State St. Until it reaches the bridge that crosses over Whatcom Creek.
The neighborhood features two city parks in Franklin Park & Rock Hill Park. Franklin Park is located at the corner of Franklin St. & Whatcom St. and features a large grass field, basketball court, playground equipment & a small baseball playing area. Rock Hill Park, located near Lakeway Drive & Iron St., includes a playground, a field and a basketball court.
The Schools that serve York neighborhood are Carl Cozier Elementary, Kulshan Middle School and Sehome High School. The Southern end of York is close enough to Western Washington University that a few college students live here and walk or commute to school.
 There are a variety of business’s in the York neighborhood, including my office located at The Muljat Group, 510 Lakeway Drive, Where I've been a full-time Realtor since 1993. In the the Southern section of the York neighborhood you’ll find Boomers Drive in, Diego’s Restaurant, Macs motel, Penzoil master lube and the new Gateway Centre office building. Our local office for the Northwest Multiple Listing Service is located in the Centre. Along Ellis st there are a couple business’s including a large day care, Farmers Insurance & Texaco.
