Fortuna Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Established in 1906, the city of Fortuna is the third largest community on the Redwood Coast and offers a variety of accommodations, dining and shopping opportunities. Fortuna is in the heart of the Eel River Valley just south of Eureka along Northern California's Redwood Coast. The community was put on the map by its early agricultural and lumber industries. In fact, in its earliest days Fortuna was a company-owned town that was home primarily to employees of the local lumber mill. The community saw tremendous growth with the arrival of the railroad in the late 19th century. Today, Fortuna's 10,000 residents enjoy all the amenities of a modern city in a place with a long history and a quaint, small-town charm. It is called "The Friendly City" and it truly lives up to its name. Fortuna hosts a growing list of wonderful annual events including the Daffodil Festival, the Apple Harvest Festival, a major rodeo and the Fortuna Autorama, which showcases not only classic cars, but also antique tractors, engines and other collections. The town also enjoys an ideal location in proximity to Northern California's famous redwood forests and the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Real estate prices are very affordable.
