Bechelli
Neighborhood in Redding, California
Shasta County 96002
Ranch-style and riverfront homes
The neighborhood's residential area begins to the west of Bechelli Lane. Streets of small ranch-style homes lie behind the apartments and condos that line Bechelli Lane. These two-to-three-bedroom homes sit close together with a bit of backyard space and range from $200,000 to $300,000. Things get quieter as the streets get farther from the interstate and closer to the river. Slightly more spacious lawns shaded by large trees give the feeling of a secluded riverfront community, even though there's commercial activity less than a mile away. Homes get more expensive approaching the riverfront, and can range from $300,000 to $800,000 depending on proximity to the water. Larger custom homes on the riverfront with private access can start at $900,000 and rise up to $1.2 million on more secluded lots.

Riverfront activity at the Nur Pon Open Space
The Nur Pon Open Space gives everyone access to acres of natural recreation space on the Sacramento River. The walking trail takes hikers on just over a mile walk through dense brush and tree cover along the riverbanks. The trail crosses over to stony beaches where fishermen cast a line and paddlers launch their kayaks. If explorers look closely, they can find footpaths that lead to more secluded spots. There's also a fenced in space where dogs can play off-leash.

Bechelli is part of the Enterprise Elementary School District, which is graded a B-plus overall by Niche.

The high school's work experience program allows students to have a part-time job that coincides with the work experience class, so they can earn credit while learning professional skills. Enterprise High is a part of the A-rated Shasta Union High School District.Redding Farmers Market across the river
The Redding Farmers Market sets up in a different location in the city for each day of the week. On Saturdays, Bechelli residents can walk across the Cypress Avenue Bridge to the market at Redding City Hall.Work in Hilltop or Downtown Redding
Redding is far removed from major cities, so most locals work in town. There are industrial businesses about a mile north in the Hilltop area, and there are two large hospitals and other companies 2 miles across the river around Downtown Redding. Commuters can also catch the city bus on Bechelli Lane, Hartnell Avenue or Cypress Avenue. Interstate 5 runs down the neighborhood's east side, making for a direct 163-mile drive south to Sacramento. Redding Regional Airport, 10 miles south, flies to major West Coast cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.Eclectic eateries and markets
Bechelli has an eclectic mix of eateries within walking distance of each other on Hartnell Avenue and Bechelli Lane. Just a few doors apart on Hartnell Avenue, Riddick's Sports Pub serves classic American bar fare, and Pho Saigon specializes in authentic Vietnamese Cuisine. Indo China Market offers Asian goods across the street. Country Organics and The Rawsome Kitchen, on Bechelli Lane, is an organic produce market with a small kitchen where folks can get fresh-made wraps, salads, and bowls. They also have vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. A short walk up Bechelli Lane, Las Dos Marias serves authentic Mexican cuisine and Punjabi Indian makes curries and masalas packed with vibrant spices. Safeway is just over a mile away for groceries. Retail shopping is 2 miles north at Mt. Shasta Mall, which has everything from large retailers and grocery stores like Target and Trader Joe's to apparel stores and outlets.

Wildfires nearby
Small brush fires are common in the dry mountains surrounding Redding. They occasionally become large wildfires, such as the 2018 Carr Fire, which burned many homes on Redding's western edge. Bechelli is closer to the other side of the city, meaning it's less likely to be directly damaged by a fire. Still, residents are encouraged to prevent the spread of wildfires by removing flammable brush and materials from the perimeter of their homes. It's also important to have an organized evacuation plan in the event of a fire.
