A waterfront neighborhood by Reno
Centered around a glittering lake and full of upscale homes, parks and retail venues, the trapezoid-shaped Reno neighborhood of Virginia Lake provides residents with a scenic, suburban existence just 3 miles from downtown. This verdant neighborhood is within walking distance of diverse dining options, tennis courts, a golf course and even one of Reno’s most luxurious casinos. “This well-maintained community offers the convenience of walking distance to Virginia Lake,” says Realtor Nigel Jones with BHG Drakulich Realty. “Residents can enjoy amenities such as a dog area, while its prime location provides easy access to shopping, MidTown, the airport, bus lines, Virginia Lake, and the Peppermill Casino.” With Reno’s greatest features nearby around every corner, Virginia Lake simultaneously situates residents close to this city’s famous nightlife and within a relaxed, semi-suburban atmosphere.
A mix of architecture in Nevada
Virginia Lake’s housing stock reflects both this neighborhood’s midcentury origins and its continued popularity as a suburban alternative to downtown living. Virginia Lake, created in the 1930s as a New Deal project, is surrounded by homes varying in style and date of construction, with older homes tending to be built from the 1950s to 1970s. Older brick houses, ranch-style residences and Midcentury Modern homes share Virginia Lake’s quiet streets with newer single-family homes, townhouses and condos. Newly built properties usually offer smaller front and back yards of around 3,000 square feet, while plenty of apartments and condos at the southern end of the neighborhood are ideal for those seeking a smaller space. Large, midcentury homes typically sell for between $650,000 and $1 million, while new homes on smaller lots fetch a lower price, usually between $400,000 and $600,000.
Newer homes with small lot spacing were built circa 2015 in Virginia Lake in the North East.
Virginia Lake is home to a variety of mid-century Ranch homes that have valuable landscaping.

Outdoor adventure in Virginia Lake
Virginia Lake is surrounded by parks and trails, enabling residents to take part in outdoor recreation activities at the heart of their community. A paved trail stretches around the lake, with the shade of trees keeping residents cool as they walk a lap or two down the mile-long loop. This trail also connects Virginia Lake Park Playground, a geometrically shaped park with a grassy lawn, with Virginia Lake Park at the other end of the lake. This small park sits along the shoreline of the lake and includes trees and benches for picnics and birdwatching. The Virginia Lake Dog Park is a few blocks from the lake, allowing residents to let their pups run in the sun. Avid golfers can enjoy the greens and fairways at the nearby Washoe County Golf Course, a public, 18-hole golf course with a pro shop and restaurant.
Virginia Lake has an outdoor fitness station great for use all seasons of the year.
Virginia Lake has the beautiful Carson Mountain Range as a backdrop when looking South.
