Retail and recreation at Meadowood Mall
If a single feature defines Meadowood, the super-regional Meadowood Mall encapsulates this community’s retail-centric ethos. This mall covers over 900,000 square feet and includes 125 different shops and restaurants, with the stores Macy’s, JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods serving as its anchors. Locals can spend their day people-watching in the food court, creating the latest and cutest Build-a-Bear, bowling a few frames at Round 1 or trying their luck at video poker at Dotty’s. At the nearby Sierra Town Center, residents not only have access to a Target, but can also tap into their inner “Fast and Furious” at Need2Speed, Reno’s home for Kart racing.

There are several bus stations placed in the Meadowood neighborhood.
Riding into Reno
Meadowood is located due south of Reno along Interstate 580, and commuters can access the heart of the city within an 11-minute drive or a 25-minute bus ride using the Lawlor Station bus line. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport is also just 3.5 miles northeast of Meadowood.
Hiking and horseback riding
There’s much more to Meadowood than shopping amenities, however. This neighborhood is surrounded by parks varying from small green spaces to hiking trails and mountaintop vistas. Locals can visit Jamaica Park to take in some sun, play a game of horseshoes, let their dogs wander the park’s green fields or bring their kids to enjoy its large playground. The nearby Rattlesnake Mountain is accessible to hikers who, on reaching the top, will be rewarded with breathtaking views of both Reno and Mount Rose. Equestrians and hikers alike flock to Anderson Park to take advantage of its protected ranchland setting and 70 acres of parkland to explore.

Condos to call home
Meadowood’s housing stock consists primarily of condos, with new residential construction still occurring on the periphery of the shopping center. Condo complexes like Meadowood Manor are home to units selling for between $215,000 and $230,000, while dozens of apartments south of the mall add to Meadowood’s housing options. “Meadowood’s condos are in a park-like setting at the heart of Reno," says local Realtor Jessica Hodges of Wedgewood Homes Realty. "They’re located within walking distance from the mall, Trader Joe’s, banks, shopping, dining and schools. You can enjoy your summer nights on your private patio, while the community features many amenities including a pool, tennis court and yard maintenance.” The neighborhood’s primary devotion to retail means that housing options within its boundaries are few and far between, but the construction of new condos indicates a growing interest in living within this otherwise retail-heavy Reno suburb.
