Smithridge
Suburban Neighborhood in Reno, Nevada
Washoe County 89502
Condos, apartments and midcentury homes
Smithridge may be a small community, but homebuyers are presented with a diversity of housing options. Hodges says, “It’s mostly condos and townhomes; they’re good starter homes and potential investment properties. Smithridge’s stock varies from midcentury ranch-style homes to cottages, condos and low-rise apartments, with most homes sitting along leafy streets that are full of mature trees and vegetation. Low-flung ranch homes and cottages are the most common home type here, with lot sizes usually ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. These homes tend to sell for between $300,000 and $500,000, while smaller condos can vary in price from $200,000 to $300,000. Compared to the average Reno house value of $610,000, Smithridge presents remarkably competitive prices for homes close to popular conveniences. Hodges says, “It’s an area that’s turning over, and affordability is a big factor; HOA fees here are low.”

Miguel Ribera Park is a community hub
Within this compact community are several parks that offer a verdant break from residential streetscapes. At the heart of the community is Miguel Ribera Park, which offers grassy lawns for frolicking, a skate park for bringing out one’s inner Tony Hawk and a playground for kids to enjoy, all with the Carson Range as a scenic backdrop. Immediately adjacent to Ribera Park is the Neil Road Recreation Center, where neighbors come together to play indoor pickleball and make use of fitness equipment and public computers. At the southern end of Smithridge, Jamaica Park is all about outdoor sports, featuring three baseball fields as well as two tennis courts and a playground.

Young learners attend neighborhood schools
Smithridge’s elementary and middle schools, Smithridge STEM Academy and Edward L. Pine Middle School, are located within walking distance for local students. These schools, both of which hold B-minus ratings from Niche, sit just across the street from the Smithridge Center shopping mall and Jamaica Park. Students go on to attend the A-minus-rated Damonte Ranch High School, which, despite only having been founded in 2003, has quickly emerged as an academic and athletic powerhouse, winning several regional and state championships in sports like track, cheer and swimming.

Getting around Reno
Whether travelers are headed downtown or out of state, Smithridge has ample transportation options. Virginia Street offers a direct route into the heart of Reno, which is accessible within a 6-mile and approximately 15-minute drive or an approximately 30-minute bus ride on the 12 bus. Midtown’s restaurants, boutique shops and art galleries await 4 miles to the north, while a quick trip to the Meadowood Mall is less than a mile’s stroll down residential streets. Likewise, Smithridge directly borders the airport, which connects flyers to the West Coast, Midwest and beyond. Because of the neighborhood's close proximity to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, residents may hear and see planes passing nearby throughout the day.Retail meccas on major roads
One of Smithridge’s most attractive features is its location; Realtor Jessica Hodges of Wedgewood Homes Realty says, “It’s right in the middle of town and right next to the shopping mall.” Smithridge’s location along Virginia Street gives shoppers access to a half-dozen shopping centers of varying sizes, including the local Smithridge Center. A Trader Joe’s and CVS at this center take care of residents’ everyday needs. For dining close to home, Kei Sushi is a popular spot to try some Japanese cuisine, while Semenza’s Pizzeria has been a local go-to for pizza night since the 1980s. Up the road, Meadowood Mall is a regional destination for its department stores, apparel shops and restaurants. Retail giants like Whole Foods, Target and Home Depot line the rest of Virginia Street, ensuring that daily conveniences are never far away.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
