Real estate opportunities in Del Norte County, California, are abundant and exciting! This beautiful part of the country, in the northwest corner of California, is off the beaten track and accessible by Highway 101 or United Express, which flies into our own little airport in Crescent City. Highlights of the area include the Pacific Ocean, with its rugged "seastacks" and a multitude of public beaches, where you will often find that your footprints are the only ones in the sand. Two beautiful rivers, the Klamath and the Wild and Scenic Smith, also grace our land and are well known among salmon and steelhead fishermen. The redwoods also provide a dramatic and impressive presence here.

One of the great features of the area is the low population rate. There are only about 29,000 in the whole county and Crescent City is the only incorporated city. In addition, there are the communities of Smith River to the north, Klamath to the south and to the east are Hiouchi and Gasquet.

Having moved to this area in 2002 from San Diego, I am completely enthralled with it! Now I take it for granted that I can breathe fresh air and get anywhere I might want to go in town in less than five minutes, without getting upset at the traffic! The people are wonderful and there is such a relaxed, peaceful feeling.
