the question all the time why redlands

thing so this video is going to be the
pros and cons of living in redlands so
let's check it out
so this channel is all about redlands
and the surrounding communities so if
you're thinking about moving to or from
redlands feel free to reach out call
text email whichever way we love hearing
from you guys and uh so today we're here
downtown redlands one of my favorite
spots uh in the town and uh it's
umbrella alley and so as you can see
here it's really colorful place uh
there's a lot of restaurants in here on
the alley and so this is one of my
favorite spots just to come hang out you
know bring the kids down for ice cream
that kind of thing and so
this is it here
downtown redlands and state street is
full of all kinds of independent shops
all kinds of restaurants offices
just about everything you can think of
that you'd want to go by or take a look
at
downtown
also northwest redlands has a huge
shopping area called citrus plaza and
mountain grove where they have all the
newer shops all the chains that kind of
thing so you got your like your target
the walmart's not too far away you have
nordstrom rack all kinds of different
restaurants and things so there's also
all the new modern ones for like banana
republic bye bye baby the gap nike
old navy ross i know my wife loves it
there chili's for kids love it tj maxx
kirkland's home goods and a whole bunch
of other places
so one of the amazing things about
redlands is its old homes the redlands
is full of properties that are at least
100 years old if not more throughout the
whole downtown area and i just love it
you know it's kind of cool to walk
through their walking street
and so as you can see they're just old
homes all over
like this one on normandy street
there's the olive market which is a cool
place mixed in with houses
throughout town there's all kinds of
different style homes so you have a lot
of like victorian
craftsman style all kinds of different
ones and then if you're not into older
homes a lot of redlands was built in the
50s a whole bunch in the 80s and many
other years too
there's also quite a few new builds that
started like in the 2000s and all the
way up until 2021 there's still some new
build communities if you're looking for
that brand new home in town
all right so redlands is one of those
places where people move to redlands
just for the school district
and so they have amazing elementary
schools middle schools and high schools
all throughout town
this school here is smiley elementary
school it's actually one that i went to
years ago and my kids currently go to
and this is coke middle school which is
just about a block or so away from
smiley elementary school and that's one
i went to my kids go to again so it's
kind of a really nice thing
so many memories
redlands also has this really neat
orange blossom trail and so it is a
paved trail that goes from one side of
town to the other
and so a lot of people use it for
walking
jogging
bicycling
this mural on the wall is part of the
redlands sister cities i'll explain all
that in a different video
kind of like a little scenic area
all right so another question i get
asked is where's redslings located so
for the most part it's right in between
los angeles and palm springs there's a
10 freeway that connects them and so
it's right in the middle of there and so
from redlands you know it's kind of very
centralized spot or city because i
reason that is because we have t

The thing I'm starting to dislike about Redlands is that it's starting to get packed. They just built apartments on Lugonia st and they are adding more along with Warehouse buildings. It's killing the charm that Redlands is known for

Redlands was a great place to grow up. I graduated in 1971 and went into military and then relocated to Northern California. Been back a few times. Too crowded and the orange groves are gone.

I lived in redlans for 15 years on north 6th. We were surrounded by orange Groves everywhere. Went to RHS Clement Jr. High and Cope Jr. High.

I loved living in Redlands. My first job ever was at Gerrards.

I lived in Rialto, about 10 miles away, and I used to go to a music store there on State Street. It had a fantastic selection of sheet music. I picked up a lot of rare music from the Renaissance and Early Baroque. My daughter attended University of Redlands. Pretty, charming campus, but overpriced. Redlands is a charming, clean, safe town, but it is too, too hot in the summer. Interesting that Mr. Jackson mentions Redlands' proximity to Palm Springs and Los Angeles, but fails to mention its next door neighbor San Bernardino, the County Seat and perhaps one of the worst places in Southern California to live. Redlands is not 45 minutes away from the beaches, but try 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on which beach and traffic. All that being said, if I HAD to choose a place to live in San Bernardino County, given my affinity to small, classic towns, I would choose Redlands. I like that Redlands is self contained: it's own school district, hospital, private university, good employment opportunities, and nice shopping areas. If you are a young, up and coming professional who likes to hit night spots, clubs and entertainment, Redlands is not for you. When I was in high school, we used to call it "Deadlands."

[lovelyswimmer]

I do miss my hometown, just California is not the best place to live.

[lindsayhengehold]

I was going to attend U of Redlands but decided not to on account of the surrounding Redlands area ( not enough excitement for my tastes).

I know that elf house on Normandy. It's right behind Lincoln elementary school. If you sell real estate in redlands you may know my childhood friend Clint Brooks
