Crescent City Real Estate

Crescent City Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Set amongst the gorgeous Northern California coast along Highway 101 is the equally beautiful and tranquil city of Crescent City. With an approximate population of 8,000 happy residents, Crescent City serves as the county seat for Del Norte County. Born from the gold rush to the east, Crescent City’s roots primarily thrived under the lumber, fishing, and agricultural industries. Once home to two separate Native American tribes, the Yuroks and the Tolowa, residents of Crescent City are proud of the area’s imprint on Californian and maritime history, in addition to its environmentally-conscious way of life.

Once you step foot into Crescent City, you simply can’t help but be in awe of the area’s serene landscape: greenery and redwood forests serve as the backdrop to the community, and the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean welcome visitors to fishing, swimming, and enjoying the California coastline. And if you’re looking to spend the weekend away, Oregon is only 20 miles to the north. Residents take full advantage of the many year-round outdoor recreational opportunities that Crescent City affords, such as rafting, camping, horseback riding, and fishing. Hollywood has even recognized the beauty of Crescent City and Del Norte County and has utilized the forested areas for such films as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
