Buhne Street-Harrison Avenue
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.

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.

Cafes, breweries and restaurants close to home
Local eateries, breweries and cafes can be found along the outskirts of the neighborhood on Harrison Avenue, Harris Street and Myrtle Avenue. Kool Beanz Coffee & Ice Cream is an old-school roadside stop with espresso drinks, breakfast sandwiches and frozen treats. There’s also Ramone’s Bakery & Café, a long-running local institution that’s been baking cakes and desserts for four decades. Beers, brews and snacks can be found at Redwood Curtain Brewing Company, a family-owned brewery opened in 2010. Safeway is less than a mile away for groceries and everyday essentials. Eureka’s walkable downtown and Old Town districts are about 2 miles away.

Solidly rated public schools
Young students can attend Washington Elementary School, which earns a C-plus-rating from Niche. Students can move on to C-plus-rated Catherine L. Zane Middle School, and upperclassmen can attend B-rated Eureka High School, both of which are within the neighborhood. The high school opened a brand-new campus gym in 2023 that offers 40,000 square feet of space, athletic courts, a fitness center and bleachers that can seat up to 1,200 people.
/
Pacific Coast Highway
The neighborhood is about 2 miles from State Route 101, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, a celebrated state highway that traverses the California coast. It’s also a regional commuter corridor that connects with Arcata and Fortuna. Eureka Transit Service operates several bus lines in the district with stops on Buhne Street and Harrison Avenue. The region’s airport, the California Redwood Coast-Humbolt County Airport, is about 16 miles away. Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka operates two medical campuses in the neighborhood. It’s the largest hospital system in Humboldt County and the county’s second largest employer.Foggy, chilly weather
The weather in Eureka is typically foggy, chilly and experiences more rainfall than central and southern California. Temperatures usually range from 40 degrees to 65 degrees all year-round. Fog typically rolls in from the ocean in the morning and dissipates in late morning or early afternoon.
