Community Description

Red Bluff is a perfectly sized rural community of about 14,000 people sitting in the center of the geographical area we call the North State, between Sacramento to the south and the Oregon border to the north. This area encompasses a third of the landmass of California. Here we enjoy more than 300 sunny days per year and a relaxed style of living for those who love the great outdoors. With the Sacramento river flowing through the center of town, an active and involved Chamber of Commerce, and a community that embodies the independent spirit of The West, Red Bluff is a great spot not just to build a practice, but to build a community.
