Where Are All the People Moving to the Reno Area Coming From?

Reno, known as “The Biggest Little City in the World'“, is famous for its events, casinos and tourism. People may also love to visit The Great Reno Balloon Race or one of the city’s many performing arts theaters.

Not surprisingly, most come from Nevada’s neighboring state of California, but a great number also come from some unexpected places. According to the National Association of Realtors, Las Vegas is at the top of the list with about 3,400 people who moved and relocated to the Reno area. Just under 1,000 came from the nearby capital city of Carson City, Nevada. And Seattle, about 700 miles away, brought around 600 new people to the city.

Reno also offers a very reasonable housing market. The city provides of a number of different types of housing when shopping for a home, from the busy inner-city to the outskirts of town with plenty of open land.
