Rural living south of Eureka on the Pacific coast
Pine Hills is a rural community tucked away in the forested hillsides south of Eureka, just a few miles off the chilly Pacific coastline. It’s made up of several residential communities, including Ridgewood and Elk River, situated on quiet streets peppered with towering pine and redwood trees. “You can have redwoods in your front yard. You don’t get that anywhere else. And the weather’s great. It’s in the mid-60s in the summer, but you get a little more sun than if you’re right along the coast,” says Realtor Malachi Herrera of Ming Tree Realty, a longtime area resident.
Hike through the redwoods
Pine Hills is just north of the Headwaters Forest Reserve, a 7,500-acre woodland that serves as a habitat for old-growth redwoods and several endangered species of birds, like the northern spotted owl. Trailheads into the forest include Elk River Trailhead, a former logging road that twists across the redwood-covered landscape. There are also trails that extend from residential streets into the forests that border the neighborhood's eastern edge, such as the Northridge Trail Loop. Plus, Humboldt Bay to the west of the neighborhood offers trails along the waterfront. Avid golfers can get up for an early morning tee time at Eureka Municipal Golf Course, an 18-hole public course with fairways that wind through pristine wilderness.

An eclectic mix of homes in Humboldt County forests
Pine Hills offers an eclectic mix of homes in a rural and exurban setting. It runs the gamut from midcentury ranch-style homes to custom-built properties and luxury homes to farmhouses. Some parts of the community, like Elk River, feel more rural and agricultural, while neighborhoods like Ridgewood have homes that are close together on tree-lined streets. The one feature they all share is their proximity to boundless open space and lush natural scenery. Prices for smaller, rural homes range from around $350,000 to $500,000. Larger, newer homes sell for between $500,000 to $700,000.
