Is it worth buying in Reno?
Anyone else feel this way? I work in retail and Median household income is $78,448, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $498,600 on average. With a population of 269K, Reno is a mid-size city. You can expect to pay around $1,453 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
