As a newcomer to Reno, the mountains or the small-town feel may surprise you. You may marvel at the brick architecture of some of Reno’s downtown buildings, the frontier independence, the contrast of the Truckee River floating tranquilly against the neon lights. So, the Truckee Meadows – the community at large surrounded by greens and blues and fluorescents – will surprise you as a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Reno has always been a friendly home to families, surrounded by unlimited recreational and cultural experiences. Living in the high desert, so near the magnificent Sierra Nevada gives you the best of both worlds. The temperatures are easy to live with most of the year.
The Reno of tomorrow has very exciting possibilities taking shape today. The city rests at a comfortable and gorgeous 4,400 feet above sea level, enjoying more than 300 sunny days each year. The area receives about 12 inches of precipitation annually, much of which is snow falling at the higher altitudes, contributing to unmatched outdoor recreational opportunities among the 15 easily accessible ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area. It’s not unheard of to ski in the morning and hike in the afternoon around here.
At 4500 feet altitude, the Reno area offers four distinct seasons with few extremes. Average temperatures range from winter lows in the 20’s to summer highs in the 90’s. Low humidity characterizes the area, making the cool days seem not so cold, and the warm days not so hot. Rain is scarce (fewer than eight inches on average annually), as are cloudy days. Snow, however, is certain (23.5 inches on average per year), though it tends to melt by late afternoon in the valleys. Here, the sun shines more than 300 days a year, providing warm days, cool nights and blue skies.
Reno is a city with a rich history, known worldwide for its dynamic and vibrant downtown. Even in its earliest stages of development, Reno was filled with an entrepreneurial spirit famous in the West. The earliest settlers were ranchers who embraced the area’s meadows and grazing lands. Next gold struck it big and then there was the silver “rush.” Through it all, Reno has been a city that has created opportunity, connected with markets via ground, rail and air, and stimulated innovation, while preserving an outstanding quality of life. When it comes to the types of opportunities available to businesses, Reno’s downtown corridor is unlike any other city in the world. Never has a city been more poised to transform its future and business expansion and development than Reno is today.
In more recent years, Reno has experienced rapid growth as a strong economy and a cost of living less than most of California has resulted in a housing boom. New construction is widespread emanating from all sides of the city and into the surrounding valleys.
When it comes to doing business, Reno’s at the top of the heap. Inc. magazine has tabbed Reno No. 1 on its list of the “Best Places to Do Business in America,” based on job growth figures among 274 metropolitan areas. The chief reasons are relatively low costs and a regulation-friendly business environment.
