Reservation community surrounded by dense forests in Hoopa
Hoopa is a rural area along the Trinity River, surrounded by Northern California's dense pine and redwood forests. This unincorporated community is home to the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, the largest in the state. In 1864, the U.S. government recognized this tribe's sovereignty, which granted the Hupa people to maintain their generational land. While the occasional sasquatch sighting stirs local folklore, Hoopa remains relatively undisturbed, with plenty of natural scenery. "It's serene and beautiful country out here. We have the rivers, the mountains and hiking," says Tangie Markle, an area local and real estate agent at Humboldt Land Company Real Estate. "We focus on tourism and nature because we're in the beautiful mountains of Northern California."
The Hoopa neighborhood sits at the base of the Six Rivers National Forest with endless outdoor opportunities.

The local architecture comprises a mix of single-level Craftsman and ranch-style homes. Based on limited home sale data, prices range from $100,000 to $300,000, significantly less than standard prices in California, although availability is limited.
