A place to Live and Visit - 4/18/2022
What an amazing place to live. No place is perfect but the people here are friendly with several parks nearby and many miles of trails from Road Biking to MBT. Check out the lakes and fishing along with all the local

Start Your Review of Redding
You come for cheap housing and cry 'no culture'! - 8/16/2021
Take a hike if you don't like different points of view, religious or generally conservative people. No one will miss you. California has been going in the wrong direction for a long time, from my point of view and Redding suffers like many small communities. Some move here thinking you can save a buck on housing but want all the services they can only find in the upscale high priced areas they cannot afford. You can blame Amazon, Walmart and the other big box stores for there being a lack of mom and pops. There a many fine shops in Redding and people remember your face. You don't get that in Palo Alto, Cupertino, Atherton etc... where you can find your fine wine, vinegar, art shops etc... There are some science deniers in Redding but it seems the real science deniers are in the CDC these days who say vaccines are better than natural immunity. What? Since when? If you believe them you're a fool. Government has definitely been letting us down lately and people in Redding are

Don't move here! - 3/16/2021
I retired to Redding 6 years ago and I can truthfully say that I made a huge mistake. If you are looking to move to an area that has; thriving arts scene, gourmet dining, cultural diversity, an enlightened forward thinking community, politicians that are a credit to their community, DO NOT move to Redding. Redding is an ultra-conservative community with virtually zero cultural diversity. The city of Redding is filled with boarded up businesses, homeless everywhere, open drug dealing, one of the highest rates of car theft in Calif. Redding has 1 bookstore....Barnes & Nobel, 1 wine shop...BevMo, no art galleries downtown & very little thriving retail. A city of 100,000 people and 1 bookstore should tell you volumes about the intelec of this community. The Congressman that represents this area voted to overturn our Presidental election, is a science denier, supports QAnon insanity & has refuse repeatedly to denounce White Supremacy. Redding is in the grip of Bethel Church....an

Redding -- A small city on the rise - 11/13/2020
I've lived in Redding for 10+ years and the city has made great strides to showcase it's true identity. Redding has endless outdoor recreation opportunities (national and state parks, waterfalls, hundreds of miles of trails) and capitalizes on those features. There's been a focus on enjoying and savoring what is in our own backyard and creating inviting spaces with downtown revitalization and new business development, and positive sentiment that the city is evolving and improving. Redding is definitely on the rise as a sought-after place to

Most Underrated City In Northern California. - 11/13/2020
My wife and I moved here from Southern Oregon in 2019. Before then, we loved coming to visit Redding, California, and the unique culture here. I have traveled to many cities and states in my lifetime and have yet to find a diverse place as Redding, California. There are tons of very great high-end coffee shops such as Theory Coffee Roasters, Evergreen Coffee Shop, Heritage Coffeehouse, and many others. When the weather is nice (which is almost every day of the year), the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay is a beautiful place to take a walk. We love being able to rent the Bird Scooters and zip alongside the Sacramento River. During the summer months, Whiskeytown and Shasta Lake are perfect little getaways that provide so much fun. There is no better place to stay if you are visiting than the Sheraton Redding Hotel at the Sundial Bridge. You are within walking distance of the Sundial Bridge and the Mosiac Restaurant with high-quality food and fantastic service! For shopping, be sure to check

Redding's a Great Place to Live - 11/13/2020
Redding's a great place to live - the scenery's gorgeous, the weather's great, and there's a lot of recreation opportunities. It's the perfect size too - small enough that you don't have to worry about traffic or long commute times, but large enough that you can find a lot of the stores and businesses that you'd expect form a larger city.
