York Neighborhood Profile

The York Neighborhood consists of homes as old as the 19th century, all the way up to new construction. The majority of the homes were built from about 1880 through the 1920's. The population density is high in this area, but the charm of older homes draws homebuyers to these historic homes. The tree-lined street, mature landscaping, and large porches, stir memories of yesterday, and homeowners take a lot of pride in maintaining and renovating these old majestic homes. The Shuksan Healthcare Center and the Lincoln Square High-Rise for senior residence is also in the York Neighborhood.

There are several parks / open spaces...one being Franklin Park and the other being Rock Hills Park. Playgrounds, grassy areas, and basketball courts can be found, with many people enjoying spring days in the pleasant climate of Bellingham.

Most of the York area is services by Lowell Elementary, Fairhaven Middle School, and Sehome High School.

One of the oldest operating corner markets is located at the corner of Potter and Humbolt St. Nelson's Market has been in operation continuously since the 1880's. There are also larger shopping areas like Fred Meyer, as well as many shops and galleries.

The homeowners association was founded in 1977.
