North Chico offers a comfortable blend of established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and open space at the north end of Chico. Daily life here runs on convenience: quick access to the Esplanade and Highway 99, weekend soccer games at the well-equipped DeGarmo Park, and easy departures from the nearby Chico Municipal Airport. Locals head to the ballfields, dog park, and playgrounds at DeGarmo Park, maintained by the Chico Area Recreation and Park District, and venture a few minutes east to the miles of trails and swimming holes in Bidwell Park’s upper reaches when they want a bigger dose of nature. The airport simplifies regional travel for work or quick getaways, while shopping and dining along the Esplanade and North Valley Plaza keep errands close to home.
Families value North Chico’s access to strong schools. Pleasant Valley High School anchors the area’s secondary options, with elementary campuses like Marigold and Shasta serving younger learners within the Chico Unified School District. Higher education is close by at California State University, Chico, giving the neighborhood a steady stream of cultural events, lectures, and performances. Proximity to employers and services across Butte County, and easy weekend escapes to hilltowns like Paradise, round out the appeal.
