Live near the waterfront in Eureka, California
City Center is in the heart of Eureka, a remote town in Northern California that’s situated between the misty Pacific coast and the sprawling redwood forests of Humboldt County. The neighborhood is largely residential and sits just east of the city’s vibrant Old Town district. It offers a mix of historic homes, including grand architecture that dates back to the late 1800s. “We’ve got a lot of beautiful, Victorian style homes similar to those you see in San Francisco,” says Scott Pesch of Pacific Partners Real Estate, a longtime area resident. Home to around 26,000 residents, Eureka is a port city where logging and fishing were once its largest commercial exports. In recent years, it’s transitioned into a tourist destination since logging in the region has been largely curtailed. “We’ve got great outdoors, but we’re also smaller than most California cities, and I think that’s a big advantage for us,” Pesch says.
Walk to Old Town Eureka
Eureka’s Old Town district, just a few blocks away from City Center, is where locals can walk through streets full of old architecture, public squares, restaurants and shops. It sits at the edge of Humboldt Bay and the Eureka Boardwalk, known for its waterfront views, boats sailing around the harbor and local wildlife. There are a wide range of restaurants, from upscale oyster bars like Humboldt Bay Provisions to downhome diners like The Greene Lily. Victorian estates like the Ingomar Club and The Pinc Lady Mansion are some of the city’s most famous sightseeing spots. There’s also Target and CVS Pharmacy within the neighborhood for groceries and everyday goods.

Victorians, Craftsman homes and bungalows
City Center has a hodgepodge of eclectic homes on a traditional, flat street grid. Colorful Victorian homes with ornate trim, Craftsman homes with exposed beams and tiny bungalows can all be found here. Many of these homes have been well-maintained, updated or renovated, but it’s not uncommon to see homes in need of major repairs. Streets typically have wide sidewalks that back up to manicured front lawns, making for safe pedestrian travel. Prices range from $350,000 to $900,000, depending on their size, age and condition.

Community parks, trails and nearby outdoor destinations
Cooper Gulch Park is a small community park at the center of the neighborhood with a playground, grassy fields and a concrete skate park. The Waterfront Trail is accessible from the neighborhood as well. It’s a 1.5-mile path that winds alongside Humboldt Bay, crossing wetlands and coastal scenery on the way to Old Town. One of the major perks of living in Eureka is its proximity to scenic outdoor destinations. It’s about a mile from Pacific beaches and seaside overlooks, and within about 20 miles of massive mountain parks, including Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Headwaters Forest Reserve, Arcata Community Forest and Trinity National Forest. These parks and beaches are known across the country for their scenic beauty and for their abundance of massive redwood trees.
