Suburban living in the hills of Reno
Less than 3 miles from downtown Reno, the Wildcreek community offers city living with a suburban feel. Primarily residential, the area is home to several planned communities, a business park and two major highways. There are multiple schools, including the nearby Truckee Meadows Community College and the University of Nevada-Reno. Adjacent to Wildcreek Golf Course, the neighborhood is located in the hills of Reno, so hiking and mountain biking trails are always close. Residents know they’re close to home when they see the nearby Desert Research Institute’s sizeable solar panel assemblies along the roadways.
Modern manufactured housing communities and condos
"Wildcreek is a little more expensive than other parts of northern Reno. There are a lot of townhomes and condos, and there’s a golf course nearby,” says Lolis Vasquez, a Realtor with Reno Sparks Realty with 14 years of experience. “It’s a beautiful area that has a slower feel to it. It’s three miles from the university, so there are some college students, too.”
Wildcreek’s homes are built on tiered parcels to accommodate the rising hills. It also creates the opportunity for spectacular views of the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains or neighboring Reno. There’s a mix of housing styles with townhouses, condos and manufactured housing communities. Thanks to Nevada’s strict building regulations, they’re built like traditional single-family homes on a smaller scale. Depending on where residents live, lawns may be large or relatively moderate, but either way, landscaping is very common. Prices range from $175,000 for a one-bedroom condo to $420,000 for a three-bedroom Craftsman-inspired home.
