An Old West town with a strong military tradition
With its Spanish Revival-style courthouse, its false-front stores along Maine Street and its historic movie theater, Fallon, Nevada is the quintessential Western oasis town. This product of the Gold Rush is alive and thriving not just because of its historical preservation and appealing desert landscapes, but also because it is home to the real “Top Gun” program at Naval Air Station Fallon. “It’s a small town. It’s mostly people who work at the air base, people who work in agriculture and retirees,” says Realtor Hadley Faught of Exp Realty.

Aviators chase the need for speed at Top Gun
Naval Air Station Fallon was founded in 1942 to protect the West Coast during World War II and is located 6 miles southeast of downtown. It is the city’s largest employer. The Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN), made famous by the 1986 film “Top Gun,” has been located in Fallon since 1996 and trains the country’s elite U.S. Naval aviators. “You’ll hear some jets buzzing overhead,” Faught says. The city’s status as the seat of Churchill County has made the county, its school district and the city’s community hospital other major employers.

A growing destination for retirees and servicemembers
Fallon’s history and fortunes are closely intertwined with the local military base. Like the airbase, Fallon’s housing stock first developed during World War II and has grown in size as the Naval Air Station did. This city’s oldest homes date to the 1930s and 1940s. Ranch-style homes built from then until 1960 vary in price from $85,000 to $445,000. New developments have been built along the city’s periphery. Ranch-style homes built since 2000 sell for between $258,000 and $840,000, with the newest residences featuring stucco walls and other New Traditional influences. Proximity to the military base, together with an hour-long commute from both Carson City and Reno, have attracted servicemembers and retirees alike to this growing desert city. Fallon's growth does, however, face a major obstacle. "There’s been some new development in the area, but much of our land is agricultural which has made it difficult to find places for new homes," Faught says.

A historical downtown offers plenty of modern conveniences
Fallon may not be known as a retail or culinary hub, but Maine Street has been recognized by the federal government for its historic charm and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Along this road, Fallon Theatres continues to screen movies more than a century after it was founded as a vaudeville venue. This road, together with the east-west Williams Avenue, is also home to several chain and local restaurants serving Mexican, Chinese, Indian and American Western dishes. Small shopping plazas offer amenities like a Walmart, a Safeway and even the occasional casino.

Health and safety in Fallon

Taking Interstate 80 or the scenic route
U.S. Route 50, which runs from Fallon into Utah, is nicknamed “The Loneliest Road in America,” as the eastward journey out of Fallon will contact only one small city and two towns for 400 miles. Interstate 80 offers an hour-long commute into Reno, providing travelers access to its shopping and entertainment scenes as well as the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
