Newest Cordata Homes for Sale

As of August 2026, homes in Cordata are selling with a median price around $499,000, well below Bellingham’s citywide median, making this one of the most accessible neighborhoods in the city for buyers who still want new construction and easy freeway access.

Cordata in Bellingham, WA: Overview

Cordata was built as a Planned Unit Development, which means housing, retail, and institutional uses were designed to sit close together rather than requiring a drive across town for groceries or a doctor’s appointment. Whatcom Community College anchors the south end of the neighborhood, and a concentration of medical offices, including PeaceHealth Medical Group clinics, sits within easy reach of most homes here. Growth continues around the Cordata Business Park and surrounding development, so the neighborhood is still filling in rather than finished.

Cordata Park and everyday amenities

Cordata Park serves as the neighborhood’s central gathering space, with playgrounds, open green space, a bike pump track, parkour features, and basketball and pickleball courts. Extended trail systems and sidewalk infrastructure connect subdivisions to the park and to nearby shopping without requiring a car for every trip, a rarity in a city where most neighborhoods were built around driving.

Real estate and home prices in Cordata

Based on 112 closed sales in Cordata over the trailing year, the median sale price is $499,000, with an average sale price of about $500,000 and homes spending an average of 59 days on market. That’s a wide range, from condos in the low $200,000s to newer single family homes approaching $950,000, reflecting Cordata’s mix of attached and detached housing stock.

For context, Bellingham’s citywide median sale price was $695,000 in June 2026 (see the full Bellingham Housing Market Report, July 2026). Cordata is running well below that citywide number, which is exactly what makes it one of the more approachable entry points into Bellingham homeownership without leaving the city.

Housing

Expect a genuine mix here, more than in most Bellingham neighborhoods. Condo and townhome communities along streets like Wintergreen Circle, Darby Drive, and Festival Boulevard make up a large share of sales, generally offering one to two bedrooms and efficient floor plans. Single family homes tend to be newer construction with open kitchens, attached garages, and smaller lots than you’d find in an older neighborhood like Alabama Hill.
