King Mountain is one of Bellingham, WA‘s newest neighborhoods, tucked into the hillsides on the north side of the city about four miles from downtown. Homes here range from new construction subdivisions to townhomes and modern single-family homes, many with sweeping views of Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands on clear days. It’s a quiet, still-developing area that stays close to everyday conveniences, just minutes from Barkley Village, shopping, and I-5. Considering a move to Bellingham? King Mountain is worth a look if you want newer construction with a bit more elbow room than you’ll find closer to downtown. Residents of this neighborhood enjoy a quieter, still-developing feel with easy access to everything the city offers.

A neighborhood still taking shape
King Mountain is one of the newer additions to Bellingham, with development that continues to add subdivisions, townhomes, and single family homes to the hillside. The mix of housing styles here skews newer than most of the city, with open layouts, energy efficient construction, and modern finishes common throughout. As the area continues to build out, buyers can expect more housing options and amenities to arrive over time.
Parks and open space nearby
Bakerview Meadows Park, a 26 acre park serving the King Mountain and Meridian neighborhoods, is currently being developed along Woodbury Way. The city has opened the site for early public use with mowed pathways and a temporary disc golf course while permanent amenities are built out in phases, eventually including trails, a dog park, playgrounds, sport courts, picnic shelters, and parking. It’s a rare opportunity to watch a neighborhood park take shape from the ground up. Residents are also close to Cornwall Park and Whatcom Falls Park for hiking and green space just a short drive away.
Real estate and home prices in King Mountain
King Mountain’s sold data over the past year is a small sample, and it’s worth explaining why. Of the sold condos, three were part of the same new construction project and closed within a similar timeframe, which pulls the condo median and average days on market higher than you’d typically expect. Keep that in mind when comparing King Mountain’s numbers to more established neighborhoods with a larger, steadier flow of sales.
Condos: median sale price $931,050, average $768,288, averaging 263 days on market, based on 4 closed sales. Prices ranged from $280,000 up to $931,050.
Single family homes: median sale price $575,500, average $575,500, averaging 99.5 days on market, based on 2 closed sales. Prices ranged from $521,000 up to $630,000.
Currently, King Mountain has 4 condos and 2 single family homes active on the market, with condo prices ranging from $279,000 to $548,000 and single family homes ranging from $759,000 to $849,000.
For context, Bellingham’s citywide median sale price was $695,000 in June 2026 (see the full Bellingham Housing Market Report, July 2026). Given how small and uneven King Mountain’s sold sample is right now, these figures are likely to shift as more homes close in this still-developing neighborhood.

King Mountain vs. Cordata
Both neighborhoods sit on the north side of Bellingham with newer housing stock, but King Mountain leans further into hillside views and low density single family development, while Cordata offers more established shopping and amenities nearby.
