SW Redding sits on the southwest side of town — older established neighborhoods west of Buenaventura, a strong base of mid-century homes, and quick access to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area for hiking, swimming, and trail running.

This part of town developed earlier than the east side and has a more settled, residential feel. You'll see mature trees, mid-century floor plans with solid bones, and streets where neighbors actually know each other. The lots tend to be a touch larger than central Redding without being as rural as further-out west-side parcels.

For buyers who value an established neighborhood feel, character homes with renovation potential, and outdoor recreation access in 15 minutes, SW Redding is a strong fit.

Notable Neighborhoods
