Bellingham, WA

Charmed Living Alongside Nature

The Cottages is a conscientiously designed neighborhood of 69 one-story and two-story homes, offering a tranquil living experience adjacent to a significant native-growth protected area. This development, nestled within a serene natural environment, features 32 homes that are directly adjacent to this preserved greenbelt, providing residents with a unique sense of privacy and connection to nature.

This community offers a variety of living options with 12 thoughtfully crafted floor plans ranging from 952 to 1,568 square feet. Homebuyers could choose from 10 three-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom designs, including plans with first-floor primary suites and one-story ramblers. Each home at The Cottages is built with a focus on contemporary Northwest craftsman design, combining modern comforts with timeless architectural appeal.

Residents of The Cottages enjoy gourmet kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances, polished quartz countertops, and real wood millwork packages. The homes are designed for both functionality and style, featuring engineered hardwood flooring and natural gas amenities, including furnaces, fireplaces, and water heaters. Fire suppression sprinkler systems are also integrated into each home, ensuring safety and peace of mind.

The fully landscaped neighborhood offers well-maintained yards that blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty. With trail access and proximity to protected wetlands, The Cottages provides a perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Located within walking distance to Whatcom Community College, this community also offers easy access to local amenities and educational opportunities, making it an ideal place to call home.
