Community Overview

Do you love where you live? Come join a multi-specialty group located in the heart of far northern California. Redding is a small city surrounded by rural areas, offering the best of both worlds. Located on the I-5 corridor midway between Sacramento and the Oregon border, Redding has the amenities of a city, but with opportunities for kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, or fishing within minutes of the clinic's front door.

Redding is truly the "Choose-your-own-adventure" town with two reservoirs just minutes away, the mighty Sacramento River flowing through the center of town, 225 miles of trails within a 15-mile radius, an active musical theater scene, state and national parks, and abundant hunting and fishing opportunities. Want to spend the weekend in the city? Sacramento is just over two hours away through easy farmland, and the Bay Area is only about three to four hours from Redding. Want to refresh your spirit by dipping your toes in the ocean? A quick three-hour drive takes you through Bigfoot country to the northern California coast.

Everyone loves the idea of moving to California, but let's be honest: it's expensive and packed with people. Give Far Northern California a shot. Redding has everything you love about California but with a far lower cost of living than in the Bay Area or Southern California. The city of Redding is about the same size as San Francisco but with about a tenth of the population. Oh, and did I mention 300 days per year of sun and no shoveling snow? You're going to love Redding.

Can you get behind this? If so, let’s chat!
