Life overlooking Redding
Many Redding locals know the Bluffs for its large cliffside homes they see while paddling on the Sacramento River. These homes are known for having some of the best views in Redding, overlooking the river, Turtle Bay Exploration Park and downtown. "The Turtle Bay Exploration Park and different trails take up most of this area. It's all preserved land, so there'll never be any development," says Realtor Richard Howe with RE/MAX of Redding, who's lived in Redding since the 1970s. With few homes and tons of natural space, the neighborhood feels more like a secluded community in the hills, even though it's less than a mile from large shopping centers. Residents can access hiking trails in the hills or along the river within a short walk from home. Because most of the area is protected, the communities of riverfront homes and condos farther up the hill are small and turnover is rare. "These were expensive lots that weren't for sale until fairly recently," Howe says, "so when they were for sale, people bought them up and built big custom homes that they plan on staying in for a while."
Riverfront mansions and condo communities
The neighborhood is most well-known for its homes near or on the river. These are in River Heights, on the neighborhood's east end. All of the community's homes are on River Bend Road, except for a few looping off-streets with clusters of condos. These two-to-three-bedroom Mediterranean-inspired condos range from $300,000 to over $500,000 for those facing the river. Most of River Heights' single-family homes are custom-built. Expansive four-bedroom homes that aren't on the water can cost about $600,000 to $900,000. The most sought-after cliffside homes range from four-bedroom mansions for $700,000 to palatial homes with multiple wings for up to $2 million. These homes have lots of secluded backyard space with uninterrupted views of the river and attractions like the Sundial Bridge, a walking bridge that resembles a giant sundial. There are more homes along the bluffs on Palisades Avenue. These two-to-four-bedroom homes range from $300,000 to $900,000 for those with the clearest river views. The neighborhood isn't all riverfront communities. Condo communities up the hill are farther from the water but still offer elevated views of the natural space. Two-to-four-bedroom units can cost $250,000 to $500,000.

Backyard view of Fourth of July fireworks
One of the perks of living in these homes overlooking the river is an unobstructed view of Redding's Fourth of July fireworks. "These folks just walk out to their backyard for a perfect view of the fireworks or whatever else is going on for other holidays," says Howe. The city lights off the fireworks from the Redding Civic Center on the east side of the Sundial Bridge, so residents have a clear view of the show.

Hiking in the hills
The neighborhood's natural space is etched with dirt hiking trails like the Hilltop Trailhead, less than a mile from many homes. As the name suggests, the trail starts at the top of the hill and winds down to the river. After about a mile, it meets the Sacramento River Trail at the Sundial Bridge. From here, hikers can follow the trail for miles west or cross the bridge into Turtle Bay Exploration Park, which has nearly 10 miles of paths through protected riverfront space.

Preventing and preparing for wildfires
The Bluffs are within a few miles of where the 2018 Carr Fire, one of the largest wildfires in California's history, began. While the neighborhood didn't endure the fire's 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 the perimeter of homes. Folks should also have an established evacuation plan.
