Why Live in Yreka
Yreka, a Northern California city of about 8,000, got its start when a mule train packer discovered gold nearby in March 1851. Just a few months later, tents, shanties and cabins with eager miners formed a “boomtown.” The legacy of Yreka’s Gold Rush era lives on in its historic Old Town district, and many residents are actively involved in the town. “We have a good sense of community. We have a lot of active churches and community organizations that put on events for the kids, so it’s a nice place to live,” says Amy Fernandez, a Realtor with Cornerstone Properties who grew up in the town and came back after college. “I don’t know everyone, but when I go to the store, I recognize somebody every time I go.” Wide streets, many with sidewalks, make up the residential areas of Yreka, and most homes come with driveways, garages or both. A wide range of housing styles comprises the housing market, including original Arts and Crafts-era homes built between 1900 and 1920, minimal traditional cottages and ranch-style homes from the 1930s through the 1980s as well as more recent constructions from the 1990s and 2000s. Homes in Yreka generally range from $90,000 to $450,000 in price —
