Review of Reno, Nevada


nice people, relaxed
Star Rating - 2/10/2008
My husband and I relocated to Reno from San Diego for my job. Moving from San Diego to Reno was quite the culture clash, especially since my husband is a San Diego native. Overall, Reno is a nice place to live, nice people, good cost of living (compared tto Southern Cal), pretty much everything you need. Only drawback is no spors teams. One thing to note about Reno, the freeways go through the ugliest parts. If you really want to see what Reno looks like take some of the main drags and avoid the freeway. If you are relocating try to move to South Reno, Northwest Reno, or old suburban Reno, stay away from the "north valleys". We made the mistake of choosing the community of Stead because the rent was cheap and the neighborhood had good crime stats. We regretted it pretty quick. You have to drive for 15 minutes to get to any good restaurants, movies, work, shopping etc. Plus, when the weather's bad we get the worst of it (higher elevation) and the city doesn't seem to care that the roads up here are trashed. Overall, I like Reno. Traffic is great. Laid back atmosphere.
