Humboldt Hill
Neighborhood in Eureka, California
Humboldt County 95503
Upper-end homes in the exurbs
Humboldt Hill offers an array of homes in a rural, coastal setting. “There’s a mix of starter homes and upper-end properties. There are some nice, modern neighborhoods, and you’ve also got homes on small country roads,” Doss says. Ranch-style and Modern Traditional are the most common designs in the area. Many houses date back to the 1970s and 80s and have been well-maintained and upgraded with modern amenities. The streets are calm and safe, with very little traffic. Lot sizes can range from around 7,000 square feet to upwards of 2 acres, meaning residents have plenty of privacy and space. Prices range anywhere from $400,000 to $900,000 depending on size, age and acreage.

Gardens, beaches and a wildlife refuge
Humboldt Botanical Garden occupies the southern edge of the community and makes for lovely sightseeing along the Northern California coast. At 45 acres, the garden features an array of native plants, earth sculptures and walking trails where visitors are greeted by floral blooms and trees. Waterfront walkways can be found nearby at King Salmon Beach on Humboldt Bay. It may be small, but it offers scenic views near public docks and boat launches. Only a few miles south of Humboldt Hill, residents can enjoy the natural scenery at Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a wetland habitat with hiking trails, fishing and hunting. Plus, the nearby Headwaters Forest Reserve offers trails for hiking and biking.

Public schools and a community college
Students in Humboldt Hill can attend Pine Hill Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through third grade and earns a C-plus rating from Niche. They can then move on to South Bay Elementary School, which serves fourth through sixth grade and earns a C-minus rating. Winship Middle School, rated C, is where seventh and eighth graders attend school before moving onto B-minus-rated Eureka High School. The high school opened a brand-new campus gym in 2023 with new athletic courts, a fitness center and bleachers that can seat up to 1,200 people. Humboldt Hill is a few miles north of the College of the Redwoods, a community college.

Pacific Coast Highway
State Route 101, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, skirts along the western edge of Humbold Hill, making it ideal for commuters. The highway connects with Eureka and Arcata to the north and Fortuna to the south. There are a couple of bus stops in the neighborhood for those who prefer public transit. The California Redwood Coast-Humbolt County Airport is about 20 miles north of the neighborhood.
/
Taqueria Tecoman and Country Club Market
The décor at Taqueria Tecoman is as flavorful as the cuisine. This neighborhood taqueria is known for the mural on its outside wall depicting a lively Mexican street scene, and the vibrant signage above its front door. The restaurant serves south-of-the-border classics like tacos, burritos and agua fresca. Just up the street is Country Club Market, a family market and deli with a small selection of snacks and produce. For everything else, it’s about 3 miles to Eureka, where locals can shop at Walmart, Target, North Coast Co-op and Costco or dine out at a variety of eateries in the city’s Old Town district.

Foggy, chilly weather
The weather along the Humboldt County coastline is foggy, chilly and typically experiences more rainfall than central and southern California. Temperatures usually range from 40 degrees to 65 degrees all year-round. Fog rolls in from the ocean in the morning and burns off by late morning or early afternoon.
