Best Luxury Neighborhoods in Reno Nevada

Market data current as of April 2026. Statistics sourced from the Northern Nevada Regional MLS.

Finding the best luxury neighborhood in Reno Nevada is not a simple answer — and that is actually a good thing.

Reno has a genuine range of high-end communities, and each one offers something completely different. Some are private and wooded. Others are more open with views. Some are newer and walkable, while others are established with character and history.
