Silver Beach Neighborhood Profile

The Silver Beach Neighborhood offers some of the areas best views of Lake Whatcom, the largest lake in Whatcom County. Located on the north side of Lake Whatcom, houses in the area range in ages from new construction through the early 1900's. There are a good mix of condos, upscale lakefront homes, median homes, and rentals. Most of the newer homes are located along the north edge of the neighborhood along Barkley Blvd. Most of the homes and lots are in good shape and well cared for. 

The shopping in the area consists of a small local mart; however, just a few miles north and you are right in the heart of the Barkley Village. There you will find a large Haggen's grocery store, as well as numerous restaurants and service-oriented shops and stores.

Residents of the Silver Beach Neighborhood attend Silver Beach Elementary School, which is within walking distance to most of the homes. Students who live north of Alabama Street attend Silver Beach Elementary, Whatcom Middel School, and Squalicum High School. Those living south of Alabama Street attend Geneva Elementary School, Kulshan Middle School, and Bellingham High School.

One of the most popular parks in all of Whatcom county is located in the Silver Beach area. Bloedel Donovan Park is located at the north end of Lake Whatcom, and features swimming, large grassy areas, sand and grass volleyball areas, basketball courts, covered shelters, boat ramps, and off-leash areas for dog owners until 10 a.m. during peak season, and all day the rest of the year.
