1254 poplar drive

Owning a home in Arcata does not have to feel out of reach. Priced at $98,000, this two-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home in the all-age Valley East Mobile Home Park offers the chance to trade renting for something that feels more permanent, private and truly yours.

A silicone roof system was installed approximately two years ago, helping take one major future expense off your plate. The fully fenced outdoor space adds privacy and room for pets, gardening or quiet mornings at home.

Daily life is easy here. Breakfast or lunch at McIntosh Country Store, coffee from Riptide Cafe or Dutch Bros, groceries at Ray's Food Place, and everyday stops like Tractor Supply and Mad River Gardens Nursery are all nearby. Local favorites including Pepper's, Tony's 24-Hour Restaurant and China Buffet are also just minutes away.

Nearby Valley West Park offers a playground, basketball court, open green space and a fenced dog park. Mad River Community Hospital, Highway 101 and the rest of Arcata are easily accessible.

For a first-time buyer, someone ready to simplify or anyone searching for an affordable home in Humboldt County, 1254 Poplar offers something increasingly rare: an Arcata address, two bathrooms, a fenced outdoor space and a price that still leaves room for living.

Park approval is required. Space rent is sitting at $653 per month, water included.
