Live across from Downtown Redding for less
Why would folks choose to live in the Benton Tract versus across the Sacramento River in Downtown Redding? Realtor Hans Monvik with RE/MAX of Redding says, "Cost is the biggest factor. This has always been one of the lower priced areas in the city because the homes are smaller." Residents find more low-priced options between the neighborhood's single-family and multi-family homes than they do around Downtown Redding. One of the city's main arteries, Market Street, runs through the middle of the neighborhood, down the east side of the residential area. Folks take Market Street a mile south into the heart of Downtown Redding, connecting them to the revitalized dining scene. Residents also have easier access to recreation on this side of the river, with Caldwell Park – the city's largest community park – sitting on the neighborhood's south side.
Small ranch-style homes
The neighborhood's main development of single-family and multi-family homes is west of Market Street, between Benton Drive and Quartz Hill Road. This mix of housing gives buyers a greater number of low-priced options to choose from. Streets of 1960s ranch-style homes, ranging from $200,000 to over $400,000, occupy most of the neighborhood. They sit close together with a bit of grassy yard space filled in with mature shady oaks. Buyers can find multi-family options in a small community on the neighborhood’s west side. These two-bedroom connected ranch-styles can cost between $200,000 and $300,000, and come with driveways, a bit of yard space and a community pool. North of Benton Drive, there's one road of homes winding into the hills with small cul-de-sacs extending off it. From this elevated landscape, many homes have views of Downtown Redding to the south. The two-to-four-bedroom ranch-style homes on spacious lots range from $500,000 to $700,000, with some on more secluded lots costing up to $900,000.

Shasta's campus sits on the banks of the Sacramento River. Locals fill up the home stands of the football stadium to cheer on the Wolves and take in the mountain view.
Riverfront recreation at Caldwell Park
Caldwell Park is Redding's main community recreation space, with facilities and fields for almost any activity. This large outdoor space sits between the Sacramento River and the neighborhood's residential streets. Residents walk here to relax in the shady green spaces or swim laps at the pool. A walking path connects the playground to the pool. Rec league baseball and soccer players use the fields for practice and game days. The Sacramento River is also a big source of recreation. Kayakers launch from the boat ramp on the park's west side and paddle through the city. The Sacramento River Trail runs along the neighborhood's south end. Hikers and bikers use this paved path to explore the river basin.

Spots to eat on Market Street
Residents can walk to a few neighborhood restaurants on Market Street, like Janya's Thai Cuisine and Market Street Pizza and Deli. Getting to Downtown Redding's restaurants might seem more difficult from this side of the river, but Monvik says, "Being over here doesn't make it any more difficult to get to downtown. People just take Market Street right into downtown." Residents walk a mile south on Market Street into the heart of Redding’s revitalized downtown. Folks dine at new spots, like From the Hearth Kitchen and Pie Shop, and old staples like Damburger, which has been serving locals since 1938. For groceries, residents drive 2 miles north to Raley's. Mt. Shasta Mall has grocery and retail stores like Trader Joe's and Target, less than 4 miles west.
Janya's Thai in Benton Tract is known for their pad thai and thai tea.

The Sundial Splash
In late June, the Sundial Splash celebrates Redding's passion for paddling. Kayakers and canoers gather about 2 miles from the neighborhood at Riverfront Park for a community float on the Sacramento River. Participants can either casually float the 6-mile route or enter the race to paddle for first place. They set off under the Sundial Bridge, a glass-walking bridge that resembles a giant sundial.
One-mile commute to Downtown Redding
Residents walk or drive a mile south on Market Street to work in and around Downtown Redding. Downtown commuters can also catch the city bus at multiple stops on Market Street. Most folks work downtown here because the closest major city, Sacramento, is 162 miles south on Interstate 5. Locals can fly out of Redding Regional Airport, 10 miles south. Redding Regional flies to cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.
History of nearby wildfires
The Benton Tract was right on the edge of where the 2018 Carr Fire, one of the largest wildfires in California's history, began. While the neighborhood didn't receive the fire's full wrath, many homes were burned just a few miles west in Lake Redding. Fires this large aren't an everyday occurrence, but small brush fires are common in the dry hills around the city. Residents are encouraged to take measures to prevent the threat and spread of wildfires by removing dry brush and combustible materials from homes’ perimeters. Folks should also have an established evacuation plan when a fire shows a present danger.
