Alabama Hill

Big Rock Garden on top of Alabama Hill in Bellingham

  I’m almost ashamed to admit that it took me 13 years living in the Bellingham area before experiencing this tranquil oasis known as the Big Rock Garden.  Located at the top of Alabama Hill nestled among some of Bellingham’s premier Real Estate and walking distance to Lake Whatcom. 

Current home prices for the 17 listed properties in the immediate area range from $240k for a 3 bedroom rambler up to $565k for a 4 bedroom, 3000 sqft view home. 

Here’s me talking about the garden…

Alabama Hill Neighborhood

The Alabama Hill neighborhood is named for the major arterial street that bisects the neighborhood, Alabama Street. It is perched on the Hill where many of the homes in this neighborhood take full advantage of the beautiful views of the city, Bellingham Bay and the islands beyond, with fantastic sunsets like the picture to the left available to many of the neighborhood residents. Most of the homes were built during the 60s and 70s.

Whatcom Falls Park is at the south end of the neighborhood, there are a few small neighborhood parks like St. Clair and Highland Heights Park and one of Bellingham’s hidden treasures Big Rock Garden Park with its beautiful array of outdoor sculptures. The neighborhood also borders below Bloedel-Donovan Park and access to Lake Whatcom. The popular Railroad Trail winds through the neighborhood as well.

Students in this neighborhood attended Roosevelt elementary, Whatcom Middle School and Bellingham High School.
