Hidden Lake
Suburban Neighborhood in Reno, Nevada
Washoe County 89521
Hidden-away housing
Hidden Lake is fittingly named; not only is the small lake in Steamboat Valley easy to miss, but the neighborhood itself is hidden away from the rest of the Reno metro area by its desert location and its variable housing density. Sierra Sotheby's Realtor Jenny Johnson, a native of Reno, says, “You can step into a truly custom home located in a luxury desert oasis in tax-friendly Reno, Nevada. It’s a one-of-a-kind gem located in the heart of the ‘Biggest Little City’; homeowners enjoy amenities not seen in our region for decades.” The northern half of this community, located across Geiger Grade Road from the more densely populated Virginia Foothills, features housing styles similar to its northern neighbor; ranch-style homes built as early as the 1970s and as late as the last two decades sit along tree-shaded suburban lanes. These homes tend to have ample driveway space, sidewalk access, and small front and back yards, suiting Reno commuters desiring a healthy distance from the urban bustle while not wishing to be too far from the rest of the community. These homes sell for between $200,000 and $460,000, with age and size accounting for this variety.Homes in the southern half of Hidden Lake offer drastically different living experiences. Ranches surrounding the small watering hole of Hidden Lake come with sizable parcels of land, and it’s common to see horses roaming the back yards of these refurbished residences. Likewise, custom homes built in subdivisions such as Caramella Ranch and Marango Springs can be priced anywhere from $1 million to $15.5 million, varying in size from 4-bedroom family homes with mountain views to 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom estates secluded by desert hills. Due to this neighborhood’s hot, remote location, locals may prefer to utilize alternative garden techniques. Johnson says, “Outdoor living is easy with xeriscape, making your time spent in your home hassle-free.”

Sierra vistas
Outdoor living is a central aspect of life in Hidden Lake. The nearby Geiger Grade has attracted hikers and sightseers for years, as it offers a panoramic view of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Reno’s southern suburbs, and even the distant city skyline. The nearby Virginia Foothills Park is equally popular for its playground, where kids can explore the outdoors just around the block from home.

Future-focused education
Students attend a school district featuring high ratings from Niche, including the A-minus-rated Brown Elementary School, the A-minus-rated Marce Herz Middle School, and the A-minus-rated Galena High School, where students benefit from smaller-than-average student-teacher ratios and the offering of college-level classes for credit at the local community college.

Access to the "Biggest Little City"
With the heart of Reno sitting just a 14-mile drive to the north and the summer attraction of Lake Tahoe a 26-mile drive to the south, Hidden Lake residents are ideally situated for both work and play in Washoe County.Amenities off the Interstate
When Hidden Lake homeowners step outside of their homes, they have quick access to Interstate 580, off of which lie most local amenities, from a Home Depot to convenience stores and supermarkets such as Safeway. Even closer to home, locals may enjoy a cocktail at the Ole Tyme Saloon – a popular stop for pool players and biking enthusiasts alike – or visit the Twisted Fork for “New American” comfort foods, enjoy a hot drink from the Tahoe Natural Café, and order out a pizza from the nearby Lamppost Pizza outlet.
