Magalia Home for Rent

Magalia, an unincorporated community near Paradise in Butte County, has evolved significantly since its establishment during the gold rush of 1850. Following the devastation of the 2018 Camp Fire, the area has seen a resurgence with many newly built homes, predominantly Modern Traditional in style. These homes, along with older ranch-style houses, are situated on spacious parcels of land, making the neighborhood appealing for those seeking more room. Despite its hillside location, Magalia does not feel isolated, with residential roads and the main thoroughfare, Skyway, lined with shopping and dining options. Local eateries such as Izzy’s Too Burgers and Barbeque, Sakura Sushi, Red Lion Pizza, and Hilltop Cafe provide diverse dining experiences, while Holiday Market and Rite Aid cater to daily needs. The Paradise Unified School District serves the area, with students attending Cedarwood Elementary, Paradise Intermediate, and the highly rated Paradise Senior High School. Safety measures are in place to mitigate fire risks, managed by the Magalia Fire Center. Recreational opportunities abound with nearby parks like Magalia Community Park and Poa Trailhead, and outdoor activities around the Magalia Reservoir and Little and Middle Butte Creek. The community park also hosts various events, including fitness classes and seasonal celebrations. While residents need a car for commuting, Paradise is just five miles south, and Chico is 20 miles west, making Magalia a blend of rural charm and accessible amenities.
