About Palo Cedro

Palo Cedro sits about eight miles east of Redding in Shasta County, offering a calm, rural lifestyle with plenty of open space. Home to roughly 3,000 residents, the area is known for its rolling oak hills, mountain views, and Cow Creek winding through the landscape. Many properties here sit on multi-acre parcels, making it a great choice if you want horse property, room to garden, or a quiet home that is still close to everyday conveniences.

You get starry night skies and a friendly, tight-knit neighborhood while staying only a ten-minute drive from shopping, dining, and healthcare in Redding.
