The Eagle Ridge Addition features 23 spacious lots in close proximity to the region’s workplaces and shopping.

The Humboldt City Council offers a residential tax abatement program for new home construction in most areas. The first $75,000 of value is abated for property taxes on new home construction for five years after the construction is 100% complete. More information can be obtained by contacting the Humboldt City Clerk's Office.

Humboldt offers another quality housing option through the availability of several quality older homes. A four-bedroom established home located in a peaceful neighborhood could be acquired for as little as $90,000.

In addition to providing a variety of housing opportunities, Humboldt also offers secure neighborhoods and a wide spectrum of quality services including excellent schools, quality streets, and active civic organizations.
