A residential district in foggy Eureka
Buhne Street-Harrison Avenue is a lively residential district in the heart of Eureka, just south of the city’s downtown district. It’s just north of Sequoia Park, a 60-acre redwood forest and zoo that’s become one of the city’s most popular attractions. “It’s a great getaway for adults and kids. You really get a taste of the strength and beauty of the redwoods,” says Realtor Mike Pigg of Coldwell Banker Cutten Realty, a longtime Humboldt County resident. Like the rest of the coastal region of Northern California, climate is a major draw for new residents. It’s typically cool and temperate, with a light mist in the morning that gives way to sunshine later in the day. “We enjoy the air conditioning from a blanket of fog while the rest of the country is in a heat wave,” Pigg says.
A hodgepodge of homes
Some homes in the neighborhood date back to Eureka’s earliest eras when it was a booming timber town. The neighborhood’s bungalows, Craftsman homes and cottages built in the early 20th century are full of character, whether it’s a bright-pink paintjob, or exposed ornamental beams adorning a front porch. Other streets are lined with midcentury ranch homes on small lots, while others feature custom-built, midcentury homes tucked away on wooded parcels brimming with redwoods and Douglas fir trees. “You’ve got old-time residents, families, renters. There’s a huge variety of homes, people and lifestyles,” Pigg says. Fixer-uppers can range from $200,000 to $330,000. Move-in ready three-bedroom homes can cost between $350,000 and $550,000. Prices increase with additional space and renovations, and homes on the higher end of the price spectrum can range from $600,000 to $800,000.
Homes in Buhne Street-Harrison Avenue are unique and reflect the neighborhood's history.

Sequoia Park redwoods
Sequoia Park and Zoo offers miles of walking and biking trails that traverse a centuries-old redwood forest. It’s home to the city's 100-foot-tall Redwood Sky Walk that lets people experience the beauty of the redwoods from the tree canopy. Established in 1907, the Sequoia Park Zoo is the oldest zoo in California. It's known for its array of exotic and regional mammals, reptiles and birds. At the opposite end of the neighborhood is Cooper Gulch Park, a smaller park with ballfields, a playground and a concrete skate park. It’s just a few miles from the massive redwood state parks and Pacific beaches that Humboldt County is famous for.
