Downtown Reno has transformed from its gaming-focused past into a mixed-use urban neighborhood attracting residents who value walkability, proximity to arts and dining, and the energy of city life. The area extends from the Truckee River north through the casino corridor and includes the emerging West Street district.

The neighborhood appeals to professionals working downtown, empty nesters seeking low-maintenance urban living, and investors targeting rental demand from employees at nearby companies and university students. Residential options range from historic converted buildings to new high-rise condominiums, with most properties offering reduced yard maintenance and urban convenience.

Downtown provides immediate access to restaurants, breweries, entertainment venues, the Riverwalk District, and community events. The neighborhood sits minutes from Interstate 80 and US-395, with Reno-Tahoe International Airport under 10 minutes away. This is Reno’s most walkable neighborhood—many residents manage daily life without regular car use.
