Redding is a great place to live - 3/9/2020
I grew up here, moved away, lived in big cities, traveled the world, and decided to come back to Redding to stay. It's so beautiful here with lots of outdoor recreational opportunities, a sense of freedom and community. And I actually LOVE the hot summers for swimming, ice cream, warm evenings for stargazing and camping. The amount of sunshine here is a perpetual mood-booster. Once Redding is truly discovered for the gem that it is, there will be no stopping the flow of people rushing to live here. With a little more commercial development in the form of shopping and eating establishments, Redding would be my perfect 5 star

Booming! - 2/26/2020
Sprouts is opening, today 2/26/2020, Home goods opens next month. Tons of construction going on around town and downtown. The city has been working hard to clean up homelessness and create more open spaces. Also over 6 million has just been approved to expand Caldwell park that will include a new Mountain Bike park! Look up Reinventing Redding and other news articles about the boom that is happening in Redding and see for your self. The city has been named the highest paying city for RNs adjusted for Cost of living. Glad we moved here! The last affordable area to live in California.

Redding CA = terrible! - 1/28/2020
I have lived in Redding 4 years and I can truthfully say it is one of the worst places I have ever lived in my 70 years. The downtown area has no bookstores, no art galleries, no culture of any kind, full of drug addicts & crime, abandoned business dominate the area. The restaurants are marginal , zero night life. Redding has become a theocracy due to Bethel Church. Bethel members have taken over the city gov't. Ultra conservative area with neanderthal politicians representing that are beholden to Bethel. Redding is no place to visit, retire or stop by. Skip this place and you'll be happy! Crime is out of control and gets worse with

Family just moved here and love it!!! - 12/5/2019
Me and the family just moved here about 6 months ago and just love it! Love the surroundings, love the schools and the community. The city is moving forward and is up and coming. You can tell from the support the community gets during the local events and all the building they are doing throughout the whole city especially downtown. Remember there will always be people complaining no matter what city you look up. Same complaints different city. There always just people who complain but not willing to do anything to help or add anything positive to their community. Its a small city with big city amenities, from costco about to be 2 of them, a mall, your typical big box office stores like wal mart , target, best buy etc.... most of the big fast foods including now 2 IN and Outs and a big 14 screen luxury theatre. There is even a water park here. What you wont find people sitting in traffic and long commutes. In my own opinion because of the high cost of living in the Bay Area and now in

Dead-end town for dead-end people. - 11/28/2019
I've lived in Redding for the 26 years that I have been alive, and never have I not been disgusted by this town. It is full of degenerate right-wing neo-Nazis and drug addicts, and rich corporate losers who want to pretend to be cowboys. Almost everyone in this town is a complete backwater moron who talks too much just to hear the sound of their own voice. Don't live in Redding. If you live here, run far

Overrun with Bethel Cult members and druggies - 10/23/2019
I lived in Redding 20 years. Redding used to have a pretty decent housing market compared to the rest of the state. But in the last 20 years the town has been taken over by Bethel cult, they are buying up all the houses and apartments and only renting to their students putting a huge strain on the market and compounding an already growing homeless problem. There is also a really bad drug epidemic due to the complete lack of mental health resources. It's become very expensive to live here and you're either constantly harrassed by homeless people or cult members. What's more is the income tax is more than double the national average yet our roads are in constant disrepair, no resources to help the less fortunate, and the cops are crooked criminals themselves. The town is filled with the skeletons of failed businesses, meth heads, homelessness, cult members and has a high crime

Run far from Redding, I did and am so happy!!! - 4/23/2019
I recently left Redding after 20 years of trying to stay alive there and moved to the Midwest. The first month here i had to acclimate to life without transients sleeping on the lawns, thieves on bikes and wonder if my car was going to get stolen. When you live in Redding you become blind to all these things as it is the norm. Glad to be gone from

Redding, California- good place to learn. - 2/18/2019
I went to high school, in Redding. The summer heat, was the major problem. Homelessness was a problem, but not a big one, There weren't so many fires, or a lot of smoke. It was a safe town, and there were just 2 lakes, for fishing.
But I lived there, 3 times. The last time, fire, and smoke increased. The summer heat was still a problem. And homelessness increased, but not too bad, compared to other cities. But violence had become more of a problem, certain times of year. Traffic got worse. Shasta County became more greedy. Redding isn't a bad place to live, but I wouldn't make it the very best. Good place to learn, to drive, though! Or just to learn. If it wasn't for the smoke and summer heat, I might still be living, in Redding.
