A Project of Life Plan Humboldt
Plan your future in a vibrant, low-maintenance, resident-driven community right in the heart of McKinleyville — where the best of Humboldt County living is always within reach.
Humboldt Commons is the first nonprofit 62+ community of its kind on the North Coast. Located in the McKinleyville Town Center, the community puts an incredible range of walkable amenities at your doorstep — from local shops and dining to parks, trails, and everyday services. Developed by Life Plan Humboldt, this is more than a place to live. It’s a shared vision for aging well, together, in one of the most beautiful and connected communities in Northern California.
Whether you’ve spent a lifetime loving Humboldt County or are discovering it for the first time, you’ll quickly understand why people never want to leave. Created for those who value the outdoors, sustainability, and authentic connection, Humboldt Commons offers a lifestyle rooted in both freedom and belonging.
Imagine your days filled with bike rides, beach walks, gardening, potlucks, music, and resident-led clubs—all with less stress and more ease. With just 109 homes, this thoughtfully designed community offers an intimate and meaningful living experience.
Demand is expected to be high. A fully refundable deposit secures your place on the Future Residents Priority List, with the opportunity to reserve specific residences beginning in 2026.
Don’t wait for “someday.” Be part of shaping a sustainable, resident-driven community in the heart of Humboldt County.
“I think Humboldt Commons provides an alternative that would enable us to continue
to live in Humboldt County in a community that is designed by local residents
to serve the needs of local residents. While they are still working on final details,
I’m confident that they will get it figured out so that it accomplishes their goals.”
