About the Area
What It's Like to
Live Here
Palo Cedro sits about 10 miles east of Redding and offers something the city can't: space, quiet, and a distinctly rural character without sacrificing convenience. It's where many of Shasta County's professionals choose to live, drawn by the larger lots, custom homes, and a tight-knit community that still feels like a small town.
Properties here tend toward the higher end of the local market. You'll find custom-built homes on 1-5+ acre parcels, horse properties with arenas and pastures, and newer developments with mountain views. The landscape is oak-studded rolling hills with views of Lassen Peak to the east. It's beautiful country.
Families are particularly drawn to Palo Cedro for the schools. The Junction School District and Foothill High School are consistently among the highest-rated in the county. Add in the proximity to hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation, and it's easy to see why this area holds its value.
