The Ridge at Harbor Hills: Your Guide to New Construction in Blaine, WA
Location, amenities, the new Phase 6 floor plans, and what life looks like in this north Whatcom County neighborhood.
If you're searching for new construction homes in Blaine, Washington, The Ridge at Harbor Hills deserves a spot at the top of your list. I've listed and sold homes in this neighborhood, and I've watched it grow into one of the most thoughtfully planned communities in north Whatcom County. Here's everything you need to know, including some exciting news about what's coming next.
Where You'll Find The Ridge
The Ridge at Harbor Hills sits in east Blaine, north of H Street Road between Jerome Street and North Harvey Road. It's a peaceful residential setting with easy access to downtown Blaine, Blaine schools, I-5, and the U.S./Canada border. And the beach? Just 6 minutes away.
For buyers who split time between Bellingham, Vancouver, and points in between, the location is hard to beat.
A Neighborhood Built for Everyday Living
The Ridge is a master-planned community on 88 acres, designed to be built out in phases so each section comes together with intention. What I love most is that the neighborhood was planned around how people actually live:
It's the kind of place where you see neighbors out walking dogs in the evening and kids riding bikes on the sidewalks.
What's Next: Phase 6 Is Coming
This is the part I'm most excited to share. The next phase of The Ridge brings fresh opportunities for buyers who have been waiting for the right fit.
Two brand new floor plans. Build With ERA is introducing two new two-story designs to The Ridge:
The Lopez
An open main floor connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen with a center island and pantry, all anchored by a gas fireplace. A main floor office or guest room adds flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in shower and two walk-in closets, joined by three more bedrooms and a convenient upstairs laundry room.
The Baker
The Baker puts the primary bedroom on the main floor, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath, along with a den or sixth bedroom, a laundry and mud room, and a gas fireplace in the living room. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a loft and sitting area.
Natural Gas
The newest phase offers natural gas at the street, a feature many buyers ask me about for cooking, heating, and fireplaces.
Homesites Backing to Green Space
Many of the upcoming lots back directly to protected green space, giving you privacy, a natural backdrop, and no rear neighbors looking into your yard. These homesites are some of the most sought-after in the neighborhood, and I expect them to go quickly.
