Description

Just blocks from Cal Poly Humboldt and less than a half mile to the Arcata Plaza, this is a location that's hard to beat. The living room features exposed wood plank, vaulted ceilings and a south-facing wall of windows overlooking Gannon Slough. The flexible floor plan includes a separate living room and a bedroom downstairs—a layout that might work well for a future ADU or guest space. The lot's roughly ¼ acre, with space to garden or entertain, and bordering the slough adds that extra bit of privacy we're all looking for. Yes, the home will need some updating—but that's the fun part. The bones are there, and it's a great opportunity for someone to make it their own while locking down a desirable Arcata location. Call your favorite Realtor and come see all this home has to offer today!

    "Some of my family is from here, and I go to school here. The arts scene (ie music, painting, photography, writing) is all super impressive and inviting. The college community is extremely welcoming and fun, but low key."

    "I can walk just about everywhere I need to go. My neighborhood has 5 Restaurants a quarter mile away and about 10 more a mile to 2 miles always. I can walk to 2 different grocery store, parks, the post office, town square where the Farmers Market is on Saturday’s. The south freeway is just 3 streets up or 2 streets behind me for north. I feel safe to walk all around my neighborhood. I take my pit bull on walks 2-3 times a day and the neighborhood people just love him. "

    "I live by two bus stops that pick up once every hour to go either one way towards downtown or the other. The commute is pretty easy (only takes about 15-20 minutes to get downtown), although sometimes there will be people on the bus that stare at me/make me feel a bit unsettled. "

    "College town mixed with various hippy style artists from around the world. A very Community oriented area accepting of all of even the most eccentric characters. Where else in the world do you see dog being pushed in a stroller on the same sidewalk as a guy who walk his yak around town. Los Bagels a Jewish Mexican biracial owned bakery and bagel shop is a social hub which represents the diversity here well. Lots of community events for local businesses to set up stands around the Arcata Plaza."
