Located in Lamar County
Paris’s quiet neighbor, Reno is a community that offers a slower pace of life, while still offering easy access to jobs, green spaces, and plenty of shopping and dining. Reno locals enjoy a lower cost of living and access to the preferred North Lamar Independent School District. The Campbell Soup Company and Amazon are within 10 miles.
Home construction has ramped up here since the late 20th century, adding many New Traditional homes, often with manicured lawns, brick facades and three or four-bedroom layouts. "They're more modern and contemporary than the typical ranch style that we're used to in Red River County," says Ashley Kelsoe, a Realtor with Glass Land and Home who specializes in Lamar, Red River and Bowie counties. Older brick ranch-style houses are also in the mix. The median single-family home price is about $290,000, lower than Paris's $330,000.

Walmart, Aldi, Petco and chain restaurants sit near the intersection of U.S. 82 and Loop 286, about 3 miles west.
Locals look forward to the Wings Over Paris Airshow in May, featuring aerial acrobatics over the Cox Field Airport. "It's a good crowd — we used to take our kids when they were smaller," Kelsoe says. "It's pretty awesome for this rural area without having an Air Force base or anything like that nearby to see them fly in." Seasonal events also draw crowds at Reno Kiwanis Park. The Summer Celebration gets a head start on Independence Day with vendors, a beer garden, live music and fireworks in late June. Monster Mash in October features bounce houses, trunk-or-treating and a costume competition.
