Not for families - 2/19/2020
Not a good place to raise kids. Schools are terrible, health care is unreliable and hard to come by. Crime is high and neighborhood policing is nonexistent, there is no protect and serve attitude in this city. Casinos provide free drinks and the roads are a free for all for drunk drivers, policing like I said, a problem. Pedestian death rate very high, around the schools as well, again no community policies that protect

Start Your Review of Reno
A nice place to if you have lots of money already - 11/26/2019
I have lived here for the past 13 years and I disagree with the statement that its a me first place. Its an only me place. Making friends here is almost impossible unless you meet someone that is not native. Getting a decent paying job is hard to do as well. This place is as cut throat as most anywhere. I am from Oakland, Ca and it wasnt nearly as bad as this place. There are some advantages, Im told, but havent seen any lately. There are tons of warehouse jobs if you want to break your back for 40 hrs a week. I think in the past week there have been 5 or 6 hit and runs. People just dont care about others at all here. Its sad and depressing. I could go on but whats the

Just a mini LA without all the jobs now. - 7/10/2019
Lived here my whole life too expensive to live here now might as well go homeless w everyone else. Homeless and drug addicts are everywhere. Very dirty I wish schools would take their kids and pick up trash to teach the new generations to not throw trash. The roads are so full now than it used to be with cars EVERYWHERE. It’s like I’m in California or something just without all the jobs it’s hard to get jobs other then fast food chain

Friendly, Beautiful Little City - 10/22/2018
I've lived in Reno for the last 7 years and am in love with this little city. The people here are friendly without being intrusive. There are great shopping and dining options, with tons of local businesses. People are community minded, and as a single female, I feel safe and cared about in this community. I've had great job opportunity, and you can't beat the beautiful scenery and sunsets here. I'm proud to call Reno

Reno-healthy,weather,yr round activities,friendly - 9/20/2018
Lived in Reno for awhile, loved the outside recreation, the wonderful weather, had alot going on, the bike and walking paths (be nice to link them all instead of just ending and ya wonder around guessing where one starts again, draw arrows..), dog friendly for alot of places, close to all year round activities, its affordable and so beautiful with clear skies 98% of the time with fresh clean air (when no ones smoking cigarettes). Low allergies for many people and a nice dry climate.
The people, communities, churches and EVERY offered services or "resources" are a huge let down. No one knows what the heck their talking about! NONE. Not 1.
I found them to be friendly yet impersonal and unreliable. Snobbish judgment and weaselly actions. Downtown's dirty and full of homeless, even in public areas taking up residence. Shame on the school district all the way for not being up to date and balanced. Why is there no account for responsibility anywhere here? It's never

The Next Silicon Valley. Perfect Place to Move. - 3/2/2018
I remember myself moving to SF back in 2006. Reno has the same feeling today. It is slowly but surely getting crowded with people from startups and bigtech firms (Google, Amazon, Tesla etc)
People are great. Downtown is nice and safe. There is night life. Climate is perfect. Surroundings of Truckee River is somehow similar to the SF Pier.
And since it's close to the SF, it's an easy move. I expect all SF startups to escape here off of unbearable costs and business-friendly attitude of Nevada.
Compared to Las Vegas, Reno feels more like a place to actually live and has a great climate.
Compared to Austin, again the climate is an important factor to choose Reno, plus it's an easier to move (you can complete your move in a single day)
So it's a no-brainer. If you're in tech, come here. There are a lot of co-working communities forming.
PS: University of Nevada is great

quality of life - 11/25/2016
reno has a me first mentality. so if looking for long term relationships forget it. very hard to do. also 36% mexican american voting block. ok there but influenced by californians coming across from calif. and mexico. liberal thinking coming to nv. and voting. beautiful area in short travel time but mostly reno is behind in metro travel because of large population in a small area.concerns for gangs in reno and sparks is high,.our crime rate is growing. we do have an excelent university but very expensive and it seems the graduates go elsewhere. the mexicon peoples are mostly democrate but also very family oriented.mexicons produce large numbers of children and seem to be on assistance of tax dollars from the state.there is a large number of homeless here. also a very largh number of drug usersand so burgleries. this seems to be growing. so if one is looking for a mate for long term and a safe place to raise kids then think again. we have well meaning people here but mostly they

RENO is a fairly easy city to get around in.Lots of places to eat.The police seem very polite here.Yes we do have crime but
it is like any other city.The one thing I really don't like is the pan handlers who you see by fast foot restaurants,the 7-11's, and even on street

if you could rent anywhere in Reno/Carson/Minden a - 6/27/2016
Hi all. What I'm looking for is sort of a place where I can rent a good apartment or house, without "town" prices, which may be here nor there as far as Reno area goes. Can anyone tell me if Carson City get the same kind of vicious wind that Reno does? I am going to be semi-retired shortly (60 this fall but still chomping at the bit) and may only be living there for a year, or might stay. If you could rent a place, any place, in that Reno/Carson/Minden region, where would it be? I might end up staying, who knows. Thanks much.
