The neighborhood is characterized by older, well-kept homes built on large lots  approximately 20,000 square feet, sme are even larger. Large lots, mature landscaping, and narrow streets add a rural atmosphere to the neighborhood.
 
Apartment buildings have been built in the multifamily zoned areas primarily along Northwest Avenue and West Maplewood.  There is a commercial area near the intersection of Northwest, West Maplewood and Birchwood Avenue providing services to the Birchwood, Cornwall Park and Columbia neighborhoods.

Other features of the neighborhood include the Bellingham Golf and Country Club, the Squalicum Creek greenbelt, Bellingham Technical College, and Shuksan Middle School.  
Birchwood Park neighborhood amenities include a playground, basketball court, picnic shelter and open play field. Shuksan Meadows across from Shuksan Middle School provides a playground and half-court basketball near the apartment complexes. Squalicum Creek Park is a new community park.
