Characteristics
Transportation
Moving around by car is very convenient in Barkley. It is very easy to park, and it is a rather short car ride to the nearest highway from any home in this part of Bellingham. However, Barkley is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighborhood, and bus stops are not very far from most residences. Traveling as a pedestrian in this part of Bellingham is not very common, even though running daily errands is convenient without a car, and there are also a good number of businesses nearby. In contrast, Barkley is moderately bicycling-friendly as there are a fair number of bike lanes.
Services
A grocery store is usually reachable within a reasonably short pedestrian trip from most homes for sale in Barkley. Likewise, this neighborhood is a good place in which to eat out or go to a cafe. Regarding education, residents will appreciate the proximity to both primary and secondary schools, which are within a short distance from the majority of properties for sale in this neighborhood. House owners are served by public and private schools at both the elementary and high school level.
Character
One of the appealing aspects of Barkley is that it contains both vibrant and quiet areas. Even though this neighborhood is not known for its lively atmosphere, with its a few bars, there are options for nighttime activities. At the same time, most areas in this part of the city are very quiet, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic.
