RECREATION

Surrounded by mountains with hiking and skiing opportunities, two lakes with a massive paddling community, miles of hiking and biking trails, national parks and a river running through it, Redding offers 300+ sunny days per year. There is something for everyone from the outdoor enthusiast to the casual Sunday driver.

Redding is also home to the famous Sundial Bridge, world-class fishing, and 200 miles of hiking and biking trails for all abilities. Head out on a day-trip to see the bubbling mud pots and boiling lakes in Lassen Volcanic National Park, or get refreshed by the waterfall at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. This 129-foot gusher is considered one of the most beautiful in the state. Also, be sure to findout what fun events are happening— like the Redding Marathon, Kool April Nites, Shasta Lemurian Classic, Give Me Wings Century ride (one of the most challenging inCA!) and the Salmon Festival (Forbes ranks Redding as the only West Coast city among the Top 10 fishing destinations in North America). Redding is a perfect vacation, destination for "Any Adventure, Any Day!"

REAL ESTATE

Not only can you avoid your daily commute, Redding is one of the few places left in California with affordable home prices. Why rent when you could move to an area where your dreams of owning a home become reality. Redding offers family friendly neighborhoods, homes on large lots, homes with acreage and more. No matter what style of home you are looking for, your American Dream is within reach.

The average home price in California is $499,000, an amount that is unattainable for most families, even with two incomes. The houses in the cities are smaller with limited parking space, no backyards and neighbors close enough to reach into your kitchen window when they need sugar. Even with the recent peak in the real estate market, the average home price in Redding is $246,000.  Not only attainable for the average household but comfortable enough that you don’t feel house-broke after paying your mortgage.

CULTURE

One of the semi-finalists for the California Cultural Districts program, Redding is the urban hub of far northern California. In addition to its outdoor recreation, Redding offers a rich history and culture to its residents. With community events almost every weekend, you can take your pick of music and film festivals, museums and art galleries, tours, local wineries and breweries, and historical sites.

COMMUNITY

Of all the things Redding has to offer, its community atmosphere is undoubtedly the most significant. With an average commute time of 16.9 minutes, strong schools, family friendly activities and ample civic organizations, Redding offers not only a good life but an opportunity for its residents to invest and contribute to its culture
and community.

The hustle and bustle and fast-pace of city life can be alluring. For a while. Smaller towns are a great place to raise a family, retire and enjoy a slower pace of life. They are normally safer, have better school systems and higher community engagement. Redding is no different.
