Reno is NOT northern Nevada. It is actually more accurately considered west-central Nevada. Northern Nevada would be Winemucca, McDermitt, Elko, etc. Towns that are actually in northern Nevada.
Thanks for your feedback. Reno is definitely in the Northern half of the state, along with the other places you mentioned. It is also not central, as we are right on the border of CA. The MLS that I belong to as a licensed agent is literally called "Northern Nevada Regional MLS." Have a great day!
@@sarahisselling Actually, if you divide the entire length of Nevada into thirds, Reno would be in the CENTRAL third of the state. And since Reno is on the west side of the state that would place it in West central Nevada. With that being said, since your experience is in the Reno area I would suggest you more accurately designate your advice to people looking to move to the Reno/Sparks area and not throw a huge net over the true northern part of Nevada. As far as the designation of your MLS, this is most likely due to the towns in Northern Nevada not having sufficient size or turnover to warrant their own MLS. It does not magically move Reno into the northern 1/3rd of the state.
@@freethinker3279 yeah, but who talks about states in thirds? I suppose you could divide NV into as many pieces as you want to. We could have it in eights or sixteenths…whatever floats your boat! But when talking about north or south, Reno still falls in the northern half… 🙌
My wife and I are considering living in the area. Though if we get our way we'll be looking for a house in the Virginia City area. Though the outskirts of Carson City are possible. Though my company might make Reno a better option.
I’d love to help you navigate that decision. I’ve lived all over Tahoe, Carson, and both in Reno and Sparks. I can give you some info on all the communities.
I was born and raised here, belong to the Native American tribes here and love living here. We have so much culture here, it’s small and big, we get all four seasons. If you want to move here be aware it might be hard to get on your feet because the competition is big here. Also one thing she did not mention is, we are always at risk here for fire season.
Hi Sarah! What has been you experience like living in Reno and dealing with wildfires and smoke? I might be moving to the area from Chicago this summer. Any info would be great!
Hey there! Two summers ago the smoke was admittedly pretty brutal. Last year wasn't quite as bad. Since we had the biggest winter in 100 years this past year, we are all very hopeful that the moisture levels have been replenished enough to prevent a crazy fire season this year. I can't deny that fire season can be a factor of living here, but natural disasters are a factor almost anywhere at this point, so I guess we can choose between fires, tornados, or floods 😕. I would be happy to chat more with you. Feel free to book a call with me and I can tell you all about life here :) www.calendly.com/sarahisselling
From someone else who has lived in the Reno/Carson area for 20+ years, wildfire smoke is a norm in the Summer time here. As sarah said already, a couple years ago it was unbearable. There was a pretty bad fire in Cali and we were located right in the airstream from it. Most years it's only a few days here and there. But if you get a fire, say in Yosemite, (which is where the recent one was), you're going to have many very bad days of smoke. Ash will cover your car or outdoor area. It's definitely something to keep in mind if you want to move here.
Hey there, absolutely! I love selling land. Let's hop on a call when you are available and we can get the ball rolling. Shoot me an email sarah@sarahisselling.com.
I moved out here 15 years ago to work at Palisades (formerly Squaw Valley). Since then, I have had passes all over. Now I keep it pretty mellow and ski at Diamond Peak. No lines, nice views, mellow terrain. Still fun!
If you have kids and don't make over 100k a year don't move here. There's a reason there are so many RV's here this place is a rest area on the way to better places.
@@sarahisselling I wasn't including the homeless. It mystified me when I first moved here why so many people had rv's in their driveways. Once you've hit all the touristy stuff here there's not much left to see so off they go.
@@owl2368a Hmm, interesting perspective. I have lived here for 15 years, and am still always finding new things to do and see. Thanks for your comment :)
Haha! A lot of people here feel that way. We have to acknowledge the good with the bad though. Yes, prices are going up but so are the quality of our amenities. I am hopeful (as a mom) that the quality of the schools and education will improve quickly.

I was born in Reno, and wish I could move back.
Let me know if you do and need help finding a home :)
Nevada misses you come back lol

All valid points! I have a new video dropping today where I talk about the fire season. It is definitely a downside of living anywhere in the West. 😕
Very Informative, Great Video I appreciate
Thank you! Thanks for watching!

#6 Wildlife depending on where you live be ready for wildlife Horses, Bears, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Coyote, Rattlesnakes they often wonder down.
You are so right!! Wild horses are so magical. As a native East Coaster, they still captivate me every time. 😍
I love four seasons unlike seattle which hasnt the rain as it used to be.
@@jamessylvestri5392 I love it too 🤗
My sons and I are looking for a large lot in northern Nevada, could you help with that?

Wekcoming people would be great at seattle very very cold people.Though ive been un seattle for 20 years plus i never biught a house ir marriage.
I have not spent much time there.
Where did you go skiing at?
I moved out here 15 years ago to work at Palisades (formerly Squaw Valley). Since then, I have had passes all over. Now I keep it pretty mellow and ski at Diamond Peak. No lines, nice views, mellow terrain. Still fun!
I am miving back from decades ago.
Back to Reno?
I'm not getting any specifics blah blah .
Excuse me?
Don't forget the 122.00 water bill every month and the buffets are closed.
Omg is your water bill that high?? Which part of town do you live in? Ours is less than half of that.
@@sarahisselling I'm actually in Dayton ,
@@karmafarbus160 oh wow! That’s so much. Good to know. You guys probably don’t have TMWA out there, right? (Different provider?)
If you have kids and don't make over 100k a year don't move here. There's a reason there are so many RV's here this place is a rest area on the way to better places.
People are experiencing homelessness nationwide. It is a struggle in many metropolitan areas unfortunately.

The entire north Nevada ?
Some people are never happy.

Are you always a fact checking nerd?
Was that to me? 🤓
Here I’ll make it simple, if you are from California. DONT COME HERE
