Rural tranquility and breathing room, southwest of Redding
Wide-open, rural Centerville, not far from downtown Redding, is dotted with upscale homes and stitched with uncongested roads and wilderness trails. Here, the closest attractions are an elementary school, a neighborhood church and the local archery shop — while downtown Redding is only a 15-minute, 7-mile drive northeast. “It’s a really unique place,” says Becky Thompson, local resident and secretary at Westside Church in Centerville, “even if the summers are very hot and dry. All our lakes and mountains give Centerville its own kind of beauty. We live on top of a ridge overlooking the valley and my yard is filled with flowers and trees and vines.” Residents don’t choose Centerville for high-energy action or nightlife, but rather to be away from the city out on some land peppered with oaks, sugar pines and fishing ponds. And while summer temps do reach over 110 degrees, winters are pleasantly mild.
Some homes in Centerville have access to small fishing ponds.
Long driveways and large lot sizes are common in Centerville.

Hiking and biking trails through expansive wilderness
Situated in a serene valley surrounded by undeveloped Bureau of Land Management territory, many residents can walk directly from home into miles of biking and hiking trails. At the Swasey Creek Recreation Area, just a mile drive north from the heart of Centerville, locals can trek or bike more than 30 miles on dirt trails of varying difficulty. Some trails follow historic gold mining ditches and others offer a climb into Mule Mountain for long-range ridgeline and peak views. Near natural ponds, anglers cast a line from their own backyard.
The Swasey Recreational Area is a popular destination for hiking in Centerville.
Meandering trails through the Swasey Recreational area in Centerville are a joy to hike.

Custom large-lot homes from the 1970s through 2018 and newer
Homes here are often built on generous parcels of anywhere from 5 to 20 acres, creating a feeling of freedom to spread out a blanket under the stars and have some space away from neighbors. Roads echo the neighborhood’s rural character, with names such as Equestrian and Plateau, as well as Sugarloaf — a term sometimes applied to rocky topographic landforms. Three-bedroom ranch styles built in the 1970s and 1980s ask between $450,000 and $540,000. Large five-bedroom homes with backyard pools built in the 1970s and 1980s can range from $560,000 to $590,000. Homes custom-built in 2018 and beyond can fetch between $870,000 and $940,000. The terrain is a striking composite of dry red dirt and established scrub and live oak.

Wildfire risk requires insurance
In 2018, the Carr Fire spread over nearly 230,000 acres of the Redding area, destroying several dozen homes off Placer Road in Centerville. Because Redding’s rural areas are at higher wildfire risk, homebuyers will need to secure fire insurance and comply with Redding’s designated burn days and fire restrictions.

Nello’s Italian and Woody’s Brewing downtown, groceries at Holiday Market
Centerville residents enjoy a rural lifestyle, but still have the option to go out for family dinners or date nights in downtown Redding, about a 7-mile drive northeast. Longstanding institutions such as Nello’s Place for romantic Italian and Jack’s Grill — launched in 1935 in a former secondhand store and now specializing in surf and turf — are neighborhood favorites. Family-owned Woody’s Brewing Co. on Oregon Street is popular on Taco Tuesday and pours a rotating selection of seasonal and special-release craft brews. For groceries, residents drive 5 miles northeast from the middle of Centerville to shop at Holiday Market in Placer Heights Plaza.

Close to Interstate 5 and 15 miles to Redding Regional Airport

The road system is really good.” Centerville is bound by Placer Road, which leads into downtown and connects to Interstate 5 via Route 44.
