Living in Lynden

The Village at Garden Green is located in the quiet, peaceful, and growing community of Lynden, WA in Whatcom County. Lynden is located in the temperate climate of northwest Washington, making it a popular destination for tourists and those looking to relocate.

With a population of nearly 14,000 people, Lynden is famous for dairy farming and berry growing. Lynden has a strong cultural heritage in Dutch and Scandanavian roots.

With its low unemployment and crime rates, strong school system, small-town community, and proximity to world-class skiing, fishing, hiking, and golfing, Lynden is a great place to retire, raise a family, or start a business.

Local Pride

Local restaurants, businesses, and shopping centers abound within the city's vibrant downtown.

Downtown Lynden was voted "America’s Main Street" in a recent national contest. Also downtown, the city hosts the annual Raspberry Festival to showcase its local agricultural specialty.

Lynden also hosts the annual Northwest Washington Fair with rides, contests, and big-name concerts which draw more than 200,000 people each year.

Luxury Next Door

Next door to the Village is the award-winning, 18-hole championship golf course at Homestead Farms Golf Club.

The only golf course in Washington with a par five that plays into an island green, Homestead’s finishing hole has been voted best par five hole in the entire state of Washington. With its unmatched views of Mt. Baker, it is easy to see why.

Homestead also features a state-of-the-art fitness center and swimming pool, which shares parking with the Village condominiums. Fine dining at Homestead's Steak House 9, also next door, is a great way to top off a round of golf, or a day at the gym!

Baker; whale watching, sailing, and camping in the nearby San Juan Islands; barbecues, clamming, and crabbing at Birch Bay; plus the many metropolitan attractions of Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. -- all within a short driving distance!
