History, room and modern living in south Carson City

Carson City’s Stewart area shares its name with the institution that began boarding Native American children from Nevada’s Great Basin tribes in 1890. Closed in 1980, the Stewart Indian School’s campus survives through distinct stone buildings dotting lush fields between Snyder Avenue and Clear Creek. The site, designated a historic property in 1985, now houses a museum and hosts events like a massive annual powwow. Beyond this attraction, Stewart offers extra room and modern living between a busy commercial corridor and acres of rugged hills with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.

“The south end of Carson is very close to all the restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, Home Depot, Costco and things like that," says Chris Sieben, a Realtor with Re/Max Professionals-Carson. "There are a lot of amenities down on the south end."

Ranch-style homes, room for horses and new additions

Pines and swaths of sagebrush surround many homes, which occupy spacious lots with occasional strips of grass. “It’s one of the only areas in Carson where a lot of the homes are zoned for 1-acre parcel, and they’re zoned for horses,” Sieben says.

Subdivisions with more green lawns can be found south of the old Stewart Indian School and around a small open space called Mayor’s Park. Ranch-style homes are common, but the community also features Spanish Revival, Craftsman and contemporary designs. Prices range from $430,000 for a new contemporary home to about $800,000 for a larger ranch-style house. Even larger luxury homes can top $1 million. The community also has new townhouses between $400,000 and $500,000.

The community has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Shinsen Sushi and Ti Amo Italian Grille are two of the casino’s other eateries, while the Bamboo Garden and El Charro Avitia contribute to the area’s diverse dining options. Options for groceries include Raley’s, Costco Wholesale and Trader Joe’s. “There’s a lot of shopping down there.

Neighborhood park amenities and adventures on Prison Hill

Ross Gold Park offers a neighborhood green space with a playground, sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits. Trails ring the park’s rock-lined pond, allowing for relaxing walks and views of the water, with its large waterfowl population and opportunities for fishing. The Edmonds Sports Complex has multiple fields for youth baseball and soccer.

Stewart is a gateway to Prison Hill, a 2,500-acre recreational area with dirt trails crossing sagebrush-blanketed terrain. Visitors range from dog walkers and mountain bikers to dirt bikers and off-roaders in Jeeps. The community also has quick access to U.S. Highway 50, which leads west to Lake Tahoe. “Within five minutes, you could be shooting up Highway 50 and then you’re 20 minutes from Lake Tahoe,” Sieben says. “A lot of people really do like it because it’s close to Lake Tahoe.”
