This small, historical city has much to offer potential residents and homeowners.
Affordable homes in a friendly community near Redding
Located near the shores of the picturesque Shasta Lake, this small, historical city has much to offer potential residents and homeowners. With magnificent natural surroundings, and a rural, mountainside ambiance, the local property market is exceptionally popular among individuals and families who prefer outdoor lifestyles and enjoying nature over accessing big city amenities.
Only 10 miles from Redding by car, Shasta Lake City may not offer the same level of convenience as other small cities, however, members of the community can easily drive to Redding for shopping and other necessities. Originally comprised of five small communities, the region was later incorporated and renamed. Located within minutes of central Redding, the city quickly became a popular destination for tourists visiting Shasta Lake, as well as home buyers looking for affordable, spacious properties and an escape from the buzz that can come with urban city living.
Boasting incomparable lake and mountain views, homes in Shasta Lake City have become increasingly in demand. The current property market consists mostly of single-family homes set on large property lots. Despite many of these homes being newly built in luxurious contemporary styles, the city also hosts a number of properties that could benefit greatly from investment and development.
Shasta Lake City locals typically enjoy a casual, laid-back lifestyle. Many residents work and shop in Redding, preferring to keep Shasta Lake City as quiet and rural as possible. With immense natural beauty and unbeatable views, it’s not surprising many residents enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and fishing. On weekends, the few local restaurants are usually brimming with friends and families enjoying the weather and the welcoming community in which they live.
Despite being a small city, the local community has put a lot of effort into creating a lively dining and entertainment scene. Joe’s Giant Orange is a relaxed eatery serving traditional and fusion Mexican and American cuisine. The restaurant’s all-day breakfast has also become a beloved city staple. Coffee lovers will enjoy a visit to the Heritage Coffeehouse, where skilled baristas serve delicious coffee and offer small-batch roasted beans to take home. The venue also regularly hosts live events and is home to a dedicated co-working space for remote workers or those looking to catch up on emails in a welcoming, quiet environment.
The Old Mill Eatery and Smokehouse, featuring western-style decor and hearty dishes of American favorites, is a great place to stop by when you’re craving delicious, greasy, indulgent food that will leave you satisfied for days.
And, for those who prefer shopping, the quaint Antique Garden and Cottage is a great place to pick up antiques, collectibles, and gifts for the history and craft lovers in your life.
Considering Shasta Lake City’s idyllic location, it’s no real surprise that much of the community’s most beloved activities happen outdoors. Shasta Dam and the surrounding public green space are incredibly popular among hikers and casual walkers in search of new, scenic routes. The Shasta Lake Caverns are another renowned location for tourists and residents to enjoy, offering guided tours of the striking caves, regular dinner cruises along the lake, and picture-perfect views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
If a change of pace from peaceful outdoor adventure is in order, the Oasis Fun Center is an unmissable attraction. Offering activities like mini-golf, go-carts, laser tag, and a maze, it’s the perfect place to take the family for the day. With the highest anticipation among Shasta Lake City’s varied annual events, the Shasta Lake Boomtown Festival combines parades, a craft and family fair, and live music into a popular staple of Shasta Lake City living.
