Diverse zoning and architecture with community-led organizations
Lined by Interstate 5, about 2 miles east of downtown Bellingham, Roosevelt is one of the most populous neighborhoods in the city with over 6,000 residents. “It’s one of the more affordable places to live and still be within arm’s reach of downtown,” says Julian Friedman, owner and real estate agent with Julian & Company of the Muljat Group. The neighborhood’s north half is almost entirely residential, with a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and high-density apartment buildings, while the south side features light industrial spaces and car dealerships. Several former industrial spaces have been converted into gyms and breweries, often with on-site food trucks. Roosevelt Park is the only greenspace in the area, though there are other options like Saint Clair Park in surrounding neighborhoods. The community is rounded out by organizations like the Bellingham Baptist Church, the volunteer-led Roosevelt Elementary PTA, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County, which organizes after-school programming for local kids.

Apartments, duplexes and single-family homes in a range of styles
Roosevelt’s northern half is mainly residential, with a mix of single-family homes, duplexes, apartments and condos. “It’s pretty flat, so most of the lots get great sun, similar to the Sunnyland neighborhood,” Friedman says. Alabama Street bisects the neighborhood east-west, with 1920s Craftsman bungalows found closest to this main roadway and more midcentury ranch-style homes mixed in farther north. 2000s New Traditional-style homes around the neighborhood’s edges feature prominent two-car garages, small shaded front porches and either vinyl or stucco exteriors. Bungalows with two or three bedrooms needing repairs and renovations often sell for between $250,000 and $450,000, while well-maintained homes can go for $500,000 and $850,000. Minimal Traditional-style duplexes with attached garages built between 1990 and 2020 sell for between $600,000 and $800,000, while two-bedroom condos and townhouses built around the same time go for $300,000 to $500,000. According to locals, Alabama and Texas Streets have a reputation for having more crime reports and 911 calls than many other parts of the city, though it varies widely from block to block. In some places, wide, grid-planed streets can be a little uneven due to cracked and repaired asphalt, with narrow sidewalks barely separating from the road or no sidewalk at all. Most homeowners opt for flat grass front lawns with pine and maple trees.
Roosevelt offers Craftsman bungalow homes as one option for residents.

Centered on Railroad Trail, Roosevelt Park and nearby community centers
The Railroad Trail, which replaced the Burlington Northern Railroad line, winds through the neighborhood along a flat, wide gravel walkway extending more than 3 miles east to Lake Whatcom. Roosevelt’s namesake park is set at the center of the neighborhood with a basketball court, swing set and climbing structure play area, all set next to a wide open field surrounded by fir and pine trees. Next to the park, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County has a range of kids' programming, including hands-on STEM activities and youth athletic leagues like flag football. St. Clair Park, set just east of Roosevelt on the north banks of Whatcom Creek, offers walking trails through coastal pine trees dripping with moss and vines.
