Why Live in Arcata

Arcata, CA, is a small artsy college town on the Northern California coast, nestled between vast redwood forests and Arcata Bay, just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. Home to over 19,000 residents, including around 6,000 students from Cal Poly Humboldt, Arcata boasts a rich cultural scene with numerous events, theaters, and concerts. The city’s history as a logging town has evolved into a haven for outdoor recreation, with over 2,100 acres of public forestland featuring parks, trails, and outdoor amenities. Arcata Plaza serves as the central hub, surrounded by historic buildings, local restaurants, dive bars, coffee shops, and boutiques, and hosts annual festivals like the North Country Fair and the Arcata Main Street Oyster Festival. Residents enjoy easy access to the outdoors, with the Arcata Community Forest offering nearly 800 acres of hiking trails through lush redwood canopies. The nearby Pacific coastline, though chilly, provides picturesque shores and sandy beaches. Arcata’s residential architecture is eclectic, featuring wood-shingled Craftsman homes and ornate Victorians. The Arcata Elementary School District and Arcata High School are well-regarded, and Cal Poly Humboldt is expanding, promising growth and new jobs.
