Columbia is a quiet, well-situated pocket of Redding where tree-lined streets and practical cul-de-sacs make daily life feel relaxed and convenient. Residents love being minutes from the Sacramento River corridor—weekend mornings often start with a stroll through the galleries and gardens at Turtle Bay Exploration Park, capped by a photo on the iconic Sundial Bridge. Both destinations offer year-round programs and exhibits, giving families and outdoor lovers an easy dose of culture and nature close to home.
Education is a standout here. The neighborhood is served by the well-regarded Columbia Elementary School District, known for close-knit campuses and community involvement. Older students have access to the Shasta Union High School District, which offers a range of academic and career pathways, while nearby Shasta College provides affordable higher education, dual-enrollment options, and community courses that make lifelong learning simple.
Commuters appreciate straightforward access to major arterials and reliable bus service via the Redding Area Bus Authority, making trips to downtown offices, medical centers, and retail corridors efficient. Evenings are easy too—dining and shopping along Hilltop and Dana Drive are a short drive away, and the city’s signature riverfront trails keep fitness routines scenic and accessible.
