Downtown-Uniontown Home for Rent

Downtown-Uniontown in Arcata features a mix of older home styles, including bungalows, cottages, Victorians, and Craftsman houses, primarily built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The neighborhood's traditional, flat street grid extends from the Plaza, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Small lots are common, providing space for landscaping or small gardens. The area is home to several parks, such as the Arcata Sports Complex, Arcata Community Park, and HealthSPORT indoor fitness gym, which offer playgrounds, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds. Less than a mile away, Redwood Park provides hiking and biking trails among massive redwood trees, along with a disc golf course and basketball courts. Arcata Plaza, the town square, is a focal point with lawns, flowers, benches, and century-old storefronts housing shops, restaurants, and bars. Popular spots include Vintage Avenger, People’s Records, Humboldt Outfitters, Café Brio, and Jitter Bean Coffee Co. The Plaza hosts the Arcata Farmers’ Market every Saturday and annual events like the Summer Music and Arts festival and the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival. State Route 101 runs through the district, providing access to nearby cities but contributing to some neighborhood noise. Public transportation is available with several bus stops, and the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport is 8 miles north. Students attend Arcata Elementary School, Sunny Brae Middle School, and the highly rated Arcata High School. California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, is a mile away, making it convenient for students.
