Geneva contains a mixture of homes ranging from older bungalow to more contemporary homes on Lake Whatcom. The popularity of this area comes from its rural feeling despite how close it is to the city. Geneva is home to a couple historical landmarks including the old one building school house and the 70 year old Bible and Missionary Complex.

Residents of Geneva enjoy the numerous recreational activities that are available at the popular Lake Whatcom. Here families can spend the day swimming, boating, fishing, and even a bit of exploring.

The younger students will be attending Geneva Elementary School while the older ones are learning at Kulshan Middle School and Bellingham High School.
