EUREKA architecture of it's housing...
City-data's profile on Eureka..simply amazing. Some GREAT looking housing there! http://www.city-data.com/city/Eureka-California.html
Sometimes just looking at profile photos online, and 99% of them, I am very indifferent to, but the Eureka ones, very cool looking. |

Thank you very much but I hope you didn't get the impression that we ALL live in "painted lady" Victorians. They sure are fun to look at,though!  |

Eureka has grown steadily since its beginning and has all the architectual styles. There are some very nice Craftsman homes and beautiful large Mediterranean's. In the Cutten area are some examples of Post Modern that could be in a book on architecture. The victorian homes here rival the ones in San Francisco IMHO. I have not been all over Eureka/Cutten/Myrtle Town, but I have driven around a significant portion of it. Go to Google Earth and do a streetview of it. Ferndale has many nice victorians too.

It seems to me that when considering building a home in Eureka one must keep in mind wind,rain and salt air.

Eureka is not too bad, it has Humboldt Bay between it and the sand dunes. This year we are very short on rain, we are at 64% of normal. For me in McKinleyville, I have just over 37 for this year and had 42 at the same time last year. Last year we ended up at 85% of normal with a total of 45.6 inches of rain. We do not get much rain between late April to early November. April, May and June can be great and late Sept through October are often our warmest days. Today and yesterday, we were at 70º. It is not unusual for it to be foggy here during the months of July and August, yet be over 100º to even 110º just a few miles inland.
This site should give one an idea of our weather. This is for the coast, a few miles inland, it can be very hot in the summer and very wet and cold in the winter. Climate in Eureka, California |
