Community Description
Livability Ranked Redding, CA as one of the top 100 cities to live in the USA.

What Makes Redding, CA, a Best Place to Live in 2024
Redding, CA, is a Northern California gem with dreamy landscapes for outdoor lovers. Nature enthusiasts can explore everything from kayaking and fly-fishing on scenic rivers and lakes to cycling hundreds of trails that traverse not only the city but also the mountains. We’re talking waterfall hikes, wild terrain with bubbling mud pits in Lassen Volcanic National Park , and moonlit kayak tours at Whiskeytown Lake. Plus, the stunning views of Mt. Shasta never get old.
As one of the best places to live in the U.S., Redding is also a safe and sustainable city with tight-knit neighborhoods. With its wealth of sunshine (it’s the sunniest city in California!), mild weather and excellent school systems, it’s no wonder people from all around the country are interested in settling in this charming and welcoming community. What’s more? Redding is part of Shasta County, and thanks to the area’s reasonable cost of living, residents in this region can purchase homes for 53% less than the California average.
Redding is versatile, too, as the arts and culture scene fuses with nature at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The famous Sundial Bridge is an architectural marvel that connects sections of the 300-acre park. (The working sundial is one of the largest in the world!). Commute times are short, but locals can also take the scenic route. More than 225 miles of trails crisscross the 15-mile radius of downtown, justifying Redding’s nickname as the “Trails Capital of California.”
Another great appeal of life in Redding is the healthy, vibrant and diverse job market, which has many quality employers. And despite its bustling economy, Redding has managed to maintain that beloved sense of small-town charm with a long list of festivals, gatherings, and community activities. Considered a jewel of Northern California, it’s undeniably one of the best places to put down roots for young professionals, families and retirees.
