A quiet community south of Reno

This “L”-shaped neighborhood features vintage housing lining tranquil streets within walking distance of entertainment, nightlife, art galleries and top-tier eateries. “The number-one attraction of this area is its walkability.

With a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to quality schools and recreation, Plumas gives residents all the daily conveniences and diversions they could want.

Enjoy the outdoors at Plumas Park
Plumas’ grid-patterned streets and quiet nature make this neighborhood especially popular for bikers, who enjoy easy access to nearby parks and recreation. Plumas is home to its very own green space, Plumas Park, which serves as a one-stop shop for outdoor recreation. Athletically inclined visitors can play a pickup game of basketball or soccer on its courts and grassy fields, take in hilltop views of the far-off, snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains or even go sledding in the winter months.

Beautiful, midcentury architecture
Plumas is named for Plumas Street, which runs north-south through the neighborhood. This main street branches off into the quiet residential lanes that form the neighborhood of Plumas. These grid-patterned streets are bisected by alleyways, making for easy navigation and walkability. Midcentury styles dating from the 1940s to 1960s are the most common home types in the neighborhood, including many low-flung ranch homes, brick cottages and Tudor Revival homes. “This area has some of the most original homes in Reno. There's lots of old, beautiful architecture that’s been really well-maintained,” Kirsch says. These dwellings tend to be on the smaller side, typically around 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, with small yards and detached garages accessible through the alleys. Lot sizes are usually around 5,000 to 7,000 square feet in size, so residents can still have space for gardening and landscaping. Prices typically range from $400,000 to $840,000 depending on the size and condition of the home.
Plumas is considered old Reno where classic brick homes have stood the test of time.
