For most people, quality of life comes first. After several years of living in a city, you can truly appreciate the difference of living in a smaller, roomier town! Redding is just that type of town...although it's smaller than the surrounding metro areas like San Francisco, Reno and Sacramento, Redding offers big city amenities with a relaxing and friendly atmosphere.  Simply a beautiful place to live!

Where is Redding located? We are located at the north end of the central valley, just a short two hour drive north of Sacramento and three hours east of Eureka and San Francisco.  We are nestled between the Cascades and the Trinity Alps.  Once in Redding, a one hour drive in any direction will land you in some of the most spectacular recreational playgrounds in California!

We are a sunny community, Redding is the second sunniest city in the Nation, 88% sunnier days than most cities. Retirees love Redding for that reason, plus the affordability of homes.  These baby boomers seek a better quality of life and they find it here in Redding.

REAL ESTATE

The outdoor lifestyle, affordable housing, and remarkably low crime rates attract many people from the neighboring counties of Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou and other larger urban areas like San Diego, Reno, Seattle, Sacramento and San Francisco.  As mentioned above, people are moving to Redding for a better life, cleaner air, great schools, low crime, a place to retire or to buy a second home for investment or vacation purposes (it's affordable).  Our median home price is less than $270,000. We're in a buyers market, and this offers first time home buyers, home investors and locals who couldn't afford to buy before, an opportunity to finally become home owners.  

We look forward to meeting you and serving you with any real estate matter. If you're new to Redding, check out Visit Redding a website that offers a calendar of events, recreational opportunities, and other local information.  Our BLOG is also an excellent source for local information on real estate, our community, our people and our neighborhoods.
