Multi-Family Homes & Duplexes for Sale in Franktown, Carson City

Franktown rests in the West Washoe Valley between Reno and Carson City. Lumber- and quartz-milling operations drew early settlers to the area in the mid-1800s. When the mills closed, the cattle ranchers and farmers remained. Today, the verdant fields and evergreen-covered mountains are home to both working ranches and high-end estates. “Whenever I give someone a tour of Northern Nevada, I always drive through Franktown so I can show them what a pretty place we live in," says Kathy Tatro, a Realtor with Re/Max Gold Carson City who has lived in Northern Nevada for more than 50 years. “It seems very rural, but you’re close to everything." Tatro says the area is known for its luxury houses and multiacre properties. There are custom ranch-style homes along the edges of the Toiyabe Golf Club and mountainside mansions on 20-plus-acre lots. Architectural designs often feature floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow homeowners to take in views of Washoe Lake, the pine-covered mountains or the golf greens. Most listings fall between $1.2 million and $3 million, though some large estates list for just over $4 million. In gated communities, owners pay monthly HOA fees of about $150. Homeowners
