Somersett
Neighborhood in Reno, Nevada
Washoe County 89523
New homes nestled in hilly terrain
The neighborhoods' wide, winding streets are lined with contemporary homes painted in light shades of green, brown and eggshell, including some with stone facades or accents. There’s a mix of track designs and custom homes, as well as some luxury estates with palatial decks, open floor plans and walls of glass to take advantage of the landscape. Manicured front yards, young trees and bushes blend in with the abundant natural scenery that surrounds the neighborhood. Many of these homes have outstanding views of the mountains and hills that recede into the distance. Smaller homes can be found here for as low as $500,000, while large, luxury homes can sell for as high as $3 million. “They sell pretty quickly, usually in under 30 days, if it's priced correctly,” Baldecchi says.

Parks, pools and golf courses
Outdoor activities are among the main attractions for residents of Somersett. Avid golfers can hit the pristine greens at Somersett Golf & Country Club in the morning, followed by lunch at the club's restaurant. There’s also the Somersett Club where residents can cool off at an upscale swimming pool with lap lanes, a hot tub and a waterslide, or break in their rackets at the club’s tennis courts. Two small public parks, Somersett West Park and Somersett East Park, have playgrounds, grassy lawns and gazebos. Residents can head east for biking and hiking at Sierra Vista Park, a popular bike park with dirt trails, jumps and bumps carved into the verdant hillsides.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
