The Surprising Truth Nobody Tells You About Living in Reno, Nevada

Why are more California families choosing Reno, Nevada? For many of the families we work with, it isn’t simply about leaving California—it’s about deciding what they want their everyday life to look like. More space. Less time sitting in traffic. More time with family. Four seasons. Mountains, trails and Lake Tahoe practically in your backyard. And a city that still offers the restaurants, shopping, healthcare, events and conveniences families rely on. In this video, we're sharing the biggest reasons families are moving from California to Reno and Northern Nevada—and some of the things that surprise them after they actually get here. We’ll talk about what motivates families to start considering a move, what they discover about the Reno lifestyle, why outdoor recreation becomes part of everyday life instead of something reserved for vacations, and why something as simple as getting around town can have a surprisingly big impact on your quality of life. We also get into one of the biggest misconceptions about moving to Reno: there isn't one perfect Reno lifestyle. Depending on what matters to you, you could choose a newer community in South Reno, an established neighborhood with mature trees, a golf community, a low-maintenance condo, or even a property with acreage and horses while remaining surprisingly close to the city. And Reno isn't perfect. It has grown, traffic has increased, and living here comes with trade-offs just like anywhere else. That's why we don't think the right question is simply: “Is Reno a good place to live?” A better question is: “Does Reno fit the way our family actually wants to live?” If you're thinking about moving to Reno from California, researching what it's like living in Reno, Nevada, or trying to decide whether Northern Nevada could be a better fit for your family, this video will give you the perspective of two locals who live, work and have raised their families here. 🏡 Thinking about moving to Reno or Northern Nevada?
