A small, upper-middle and upper class city on the outskirts of San Bernardino county and near a half dozen larger, "ghetto" cities. While some hold that Redlands has its slums and poor districts, in reality, such areas of the city are few and far between.
Redlands is primarily home to old, rich, white people who frivolously spend their excess money on gas-guzzling cars and in local department stores.
Most curious about the city are the elated feelings of self-importance of most residents. Walkways must be made of brick, as are many streets. The city enters floats in the Rose Parade, and holds celebrations for its anniversary every year. Many residents actually feel as though the city has given some great contribution to the world, and that the city should be honored for this.
Local teens break down into a few basic groups: preps/snobs, emos, "gangsters," and drug addicts.
Preps make up a large portion of the teenage population, and it is not uncommon to hear a conversation regarding the brand new car given to a teen on their sixteenth birthday.
Like any rich area, many teens find themselves struggling with depression and are borderline emo simply because their lives are so hard. With bills easily paid, nice cars, nice houses, and a decent school district, who wouldn’t battle depression?
There are, of course, the "gangsters" of Redlands, those who state, "I went to public school" and believe they’re bad ass because of it. They wear spiky hair and baggy clothes in an attempt to rebel against the preppy, rich atmosphere of the city.
The teens are not to blame, but rather the parents, who have spoiled them rotten, and the city, where the best weekend activity is leaving the city.
Lastly, the city of Redlands has its own university, the U of R, supposedly one of the best. Obviously, statistics can make anything sound good if broken down as far as "the 7th best liberal arts college in the southwestern United States." This university boasts poor professors, nazi public safety officers, and a 90% white student population.
If you enjoy living in a boring city surrounded by rich white people, Redlands is the place for you.

A wonderful suburb of Los Angeles full of rich victorian history. Also well known for its haunted houses, pagens, and hipsters.
Redlands was built on the wealth of the victorian citrus industry, and has managed to keep the architecture and design while still looking towards the future. It is full of wealthy caucasions and university students as it holds the University of Redlands.
Redlands is the only city in the inland empire worth residing in. The rest of the valley is contaminated with mutt race and poverty.

A small city in California surrounded on either sides by other "ghetto" towns and communities.
Redlands is also known as "DEADlands" and you may often hear all the youngsters complain of nothing to do. These youngsters most often fall under three categories; wanna-be gangstas, preppy snobs, or pot smoking Emos.
The town itself is pretty diverse including places such as the slums all the way to the hills which play home to multi-million dollar mansions.
Don't let Redlands' boring reputation fool you. You can always find some fun on a Friday night looking at zines at Barnes and Noble!

A musical consortium birthed within the nurturing wombs of Tantramar Regional High School. Instruments used include: keyboards, drums, megaphones, and microwaves. The band's influences are: Logan's Run, Digby Nova Scotia, wolves howling at the moon, and Orville Redenbacher. redLand's sound has been described as a mix between "ovary lickin' porn-funk" and that of a "Cape Breton bell choir".
"Did you see that redLAND show the other night??? That shit was goldPOT!!!"

a piece of shit city in southern california which is home to an even bigger piece of shit football team. Their guys are all 160 pounds (but think theyre MMA fighters), but its ok because they think theyre upper class. Their girls how ever are known for driving over to yucaipa on the weekends to fuck their football players. This is because most Terrier boys are lacking male genitalia. If you are a guy with balls and athletic skill you most likely will not be welcome in redlands. And if you are a girl with a pretty face, nice tits, and are in search of a good time, go right ahead and move to redlands because the guys in yucaipa will do you right.
Mom: honey we are moving to redlands.
daughter: YAY! now i get to drive over to yucaipa every weekend to get railed by their football players

"Where do you go to school?
"The University of Redlands."
"Dude, that's awesome. Can I come out to one of your parties sometime?"
"For sure, it's always a good time at a Redlands party."
