    "Numerous parks, many within a short 5 minute drive. Lake Padden in 8 minute drive. 10 minutes to Fairhaven or Waterfront."

    "The street is quiet because it doesn't go through on both ends. We're very close to the path that takes you up to Lake Padden. "

    "Sunny Southern exposure through huge picture windowsJust minutes from both Fairhaven & Bellingham with views of Lake Padden. Large corner lot with mature fruit trees bordered by greenzone, two 3 car garages, an 800sf shop and RV parking. Access to hiking, biking trails, minutes from Lake Padden golf course. Quiet, friendly neighborhood with that "in the woods" feeling but easy drive to downtown or Western Univercity. Minutes to freeway but can't hear it!"
