Community Description

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 a sea of rural and offering the best of
both. 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 hunting and
fishing opportunities galore. 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 CA coast. (Bonus points if you drive about 20
minutes farther to explore Jurassic Park - aka Fern Canyon - or the forest moon of Endor - aka
Grizzly Creek SP.)

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 the city of 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.
