A woodsy community south of Eureka
Cutten is where modest, midcentury homes meet the auburn and green redwood forests of Humboldt County. This small town is just south of Eureka, and only a few miles from the Pacific shoreline and sprawling national parks. “It’s quiet, and close to nature. It’s very green,” says Elizabeth Garcia of Re/Max Humboldt Realty. Another perk: it gets less mist than other parts of the coast. “It’s a little bit east, so you’re going to get a little more sun and warmth and a little less fog.”
Small town shopping and dining
Cutten has a small commercial strip at the corner of Fern Street and Walnut Street with restaurants, a grocery store, a post office, fitness center and a doctor’s office. Babe’s Pizza & Pasta is a locally owned restaurant that’s been serving pies, pasta and other Italian staples since 1991. Across the street is The Cutten Chalet, a breakfast, brunch and lunch diner known for their pancakes, egg plates and biscuits. Cocina Oaxaqueña offers authentic Mexican, including tacos, burritos and tortas. Murphy’s Market is a local one-stop for groceries and everyday essentials.

A midcentury subdivision at the forest’s edge
The neighborhood was largely built out during the 1950s and 60s with curved streets and quiet cul-de-sacs. Ranch homes and midcentury modern designs are the most common styles here, and many have been well-maintained and renovated. Sidewalks, privacy fences and two-car garages are common sight throughout the neighborhood. Lots are typically small, but there’s still plenty of room for grassy lawns, landscaping and small gardens. A curtain of tall trees and dense brush skirt around the edges of the community, giving it a remote, woodsy feel. Prices range from around $450,000 to $800,000 depending on the size and condition of the home.

Sequoia Park and the Redwood Sky Walk
Sequoia Park, one of the area’s most popular parks, is just north of Cutten. At 60 acres, it includes lush walking and biking trails that traverse an old-growth redwood forest. It’s also home to the recently constructed Redwood Sky Walk, a 100-foot-tall walkway where visitors can experience the power of the redwoods from the tree canopies. Within the park is the Sequoia Park Zoo, a wildlife center with bear, bird, primate and reptile habitats. Established in 1907, it’s the oldest zoo in California. Cutten is about 7 miles from Samoa Beach where sea scrub covered dunes overlook the vast Pacific waterfront. Massive national and state parks and forests such as Trinity National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest and Humboldt Redwoods State Park are within 30 miles of Cutten.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
