Alabama Hill is a residential neighborhood with single family houses built during
the 1960's and 1970's. Located on the eastern side of the city near the
north end of Lake Whatcom, houses in Alabama Hill are of contemporary
design and set towards the views of the bay and city. Homes and yards
are very well maintained with most of the lots have a two/one depth/width
ratio meaning they typically have a good sized back yard. Broad curved
streets, cul-de-sacs and lots of sidewalks make this neighborhood feel
open and inviting.
