Review of Reno, Nevada


I can't wait to move!
Star Rating - 1/25/2008
I guess if you moved from the bay area this place may seem great. But if you have ever lived any place that was clean and nice than don't expect much from Reno. I came here knowing it wasn't first on my list but because of family I took the chance. I enjoy the weather and there is a ton of stuff to do here (besides gambling) the shows and outdoor activities are great.
Even though there are some things I like it doesn't outweigh the bad for me.
By bad I mean, crime,gangs,poorly planned roads, and a lot of trashy people.
This place is a transient town people come and go and the bums are everywhere begging for money, doesn't matter if your are at the book store or downtown they are everywhere.
I know there are some people that can look over those things but for me there is just too many negatives.
So if you are thinking of moving to the Reno/Sparks are come and visit and go where the residents go on a daily bases not just where your real estate agent takes you. Then decide if this place appeals to you.
