Azalea Hill neighborhood, or sub-division, is located five minutes east of McKinleyville two miles down North Bank Road, followed by a left up Azalea Ave. where you will first see the Azalea State Natural Reserve as you drive into the residential areas.

"That area within the McKinleyville Community Plan Area located on the crest and flanks of the landform known as 'Azalea' or 'McCluski' Hill. roughly bounded by Central Avenue on the west, Bartow Road on the north, North Bank Road on the south and extending eastwardly to the Planning Area boundary. "

If you head west into the mountains from there, you'll be passing Blue Lake in about five minutes, followed by Titlow Hill 30 minutes, or all the way to  Willow Creek, in 44 minutes.  Willow Creek is the sunniest towns in Humboldt County, after Willow Creek, you'll reach Salyer in another 15 minutes of driving. Technically, Salyer is in  Trinity County, but it sits right on the county line and Humboldt Realtors are more active here than Trinity Realtors, so  typically people in Salyer will list with a Humboldt County real estate agent.
