When people new the area come into town they are often curious about the different neighborhoods in Bellingham. How many neighborhoods are there? What schools service the different neighborhoods? The questions seem endless. I have created various neighborhood pages on our website to introduce people to all the Bellingham Neighborhoods and what they have to offer, but I have also decided to go a little more in depth and feature a neighborhood each week in a post called “Neighborhood Spotlight”

Below you will find my neighborhood spot light for Alabama Hill. If you have suggestions about neighborhood features or information that you would like included in the Bellingham Neighborhood Spotlights don’t hesitate to let me know.  On to the first neighborhood…..
