Washoe County Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 5 reviews
Great schools. I grew up here in town and these schools have been great. I never had any issue with them and or anything to feel that I need to say about. Overall I have been super satisfied with the schools at least the ones I have been too. My child is currently enrolled in one of the schools as well and it is great.
Washoe County is a quiet but fun community to live in. People are very nice around and ready to help you. There are all kinds of interested community activities along Truckee River every week and you will never get bored living here. All year round, you got Rib Cook-Off, Rodeo, Hot August night and every other local event to keep you and your family busy and happy. Commute time here is the least I've seen so far among all the communities I lived in before. In less than 20 minutes, you can get to anywhere you need for your daily living, such as your work, hospitals, restaurants, shopping centers and even the neighbor cities. The traffic here never drives you crazy. The few things that need changes are the parking in UNR, the housing price and the gas price, which needs to go down not just a little bit here. Other than that, this is a great place to spend the rest of the life in.
Washoe County has a lot of open space. If you get away from the city it has beautiful views. The schools are good if you live in the right area.
