Reno: A Bird’s Eye View

Spring is here and people who are making relocation decisions are checking out their areas of choice. If you are considering moving to the Reno area, I will give you a quick and easy way to get a birds-eye view of the city.

 

Think of your steering wheel as your compass. The center of the steering wheel is the 395/80 interchange. The middle of the wheel, up and down (north to south) is Highway 395. The bar on your steering wheel, from left to right (west to east) is Interstate 80. The wheel, itself, is McCarren Blvd. McCarren Blvd is a beltway which makes a complete “circle” around the city.  Using these “compass points” you will get a perspective of the entire City of Reno in about 45 minutes. Once you get your bearings from this easy birds-eye view, you will be able to check out the neighborhoods that appeal to you most.

 

Northwest (upper left) of McCarren Blvd lie the communities of Golden Valley, Stead, Red Rock, Cold Springs (north), Mogul and Verdi (west). The northeast (upper right) of McCarren Blvd lie the City of Sparks, Sun Valley and Spanish Springs. To the southwest of McCarren lie the Galena Estates (Mt. Rose) and South Suburban areas of the city. The southeast (lower right) section is the Virginia Hills area of Reno.  South on Highway 395, you will find the rural communities of Steamboat and Pleasant Valley.

 

For a personal guided tour, giving you all the information about the City of Reno, its communities and neighborhoods, that you would be viewing in this birds-eye tour, contact me. My personal tours take about 1 ½ – 2 hours. After this tour most people find they are ready to “zero-in” on the neighborhoods they found would best meet their lifestyle.
