An active lifestyle at the base of the Sierra Nevada
Spanning from the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the edge of Reno, Summit Sierra is a lively neighborhood with much to offer its residents. “It’s very desirable. The Summit mall is right there. It’s close to Mt. Rose Highway, where people can drive up to go skiing and snowboarding. And it’s close to Lake Tahoe,” says Jeanene Raffanelli, a broker/salesman with RE/MAX Gold who works in the area. Residents here benefit from natural beauty and recreation to the west and commercial activity to the east. Between the two, buyers will find well-cared-for homes on large lots and comfortable subdivisions where residents get to know their neighbors while walking through the community or visiting a local park.

Residents can see the latest hit movies at the Cinemark Century movie theater at the mall. There are also several popular restaurants in the area. “There’s BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse over there.

BJ’s is a chain restaurant with classic bar food like burgers and pizza, plus an extensive beer list. The Twisted Fork is about 4.5 miles from the neighborhood and is known for its upscale American fare, like short ribs and macaroni and cheese.
