The Neighborhood Guide to Birch Bay Village
A walk-through of amenities like the golf course, marina, and community pool, and why it’s a hidden gem for retirees and families.
Welcome to Birch Bay Village—a gated coastal community where the pace is peaceful, the neighbors wave hello, and the amenities make every day feel like a vacation. Nestled in beautiful Whatcom County, this private neighborhood is one of Washington’s best-kept secrets (but not for long 😉).
Golf Course with a View
You don’t have to be a pro to love the 9-hole golf course here. Whether you're practicing your swing or just soaking in the coastal views, this course adds major lifestyle points for residents who enjoy staying active without leaving the neighborhood.
Private Marina
Boat lovers, this one’s for you! Birch Bay Village offers a private marina with 24/7 security—perfect for spontaneous trips to the San Juans or a sunset cruise around the bay. Bonus: You get those dreamy waterfront vibes without the big city boat ramp drama.
Community Pool & Clubhouse
Summer’s better when you can cool off just steps from home. The seasonal outdoor pool is the place to be, and the clubhouse hosts year-round events that bring neighbors together (yes, there’s a book club and a bunco night!).
Why It’s Perfect for Retirees and Families
With 24-hour security, peaceful streets, and social clubs, it’s no wonder retirees love calling this place home. But families are also discovering the charm—safe roads for biking, access to great schools, and a strong sense of community make it a total win.
Nature + Convenience
Set against the backdrop of the Salish Sea and Mt. Baker, this neighborhood is packed with Pacific Northwest beauty. But you’re also just minutes from shops, restaurants, and downtown Blaine.
