Myrtletown, CA

Tucked along the eastern edge of Eureka, Myrtletown is a quiet, leafy residential community that offers a relaxed neighborhood feel alongside easy access to city conveniences. Home to roughly 5,000 residents, the area blends suburban comfort with Northern California's coastal scenery. You are only minutes from downtown Eureka's local shops, dining, and bayfront, while enjoying peaceful streets and a slower pace of day-to-day living.

Much of the neighborhood features classic mid-century ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s, giving the area a settled character with mature trees and spacious yards. One of Myrtletown's biggest draws for newcomers is its location right next to the McKay Community Forest, where miles of multi-use trails wind through towering redwoods for hiking, running, and mountain biking. For people relocating to Humboldt County who want easy access to the outdoors paired with a simple commute, it is an inviting place to put down roots.
