Arcata, CA · Est. 1977
An 18-room co-living community where good people, great energy, and a real sense of home come together.
Crew House was born in 1977 as a youth hostel in Arcata's beloved UC Campus neighborhood. It evolved into a home for the university's very first crew team — and the name stuck.
Since 1985 it's been a thriving co-living community of 18 rooms, where students, professionals, and creative minds from all walks of life share space, stories, and a sense of belonging you can't manufacture.

Crew House has been my home away from home. The community here is unlike anything I've experienced — people actually look out for each other.

I came for the affordability and stayed for the people. Best decision I made in Arcata. There's always something happening and someone to talk to.

The house has such warm energy. You feel part of something real the moment you move in. I've lived in a lot of places — nothing compares to this.
