School planning

Check schools for your address

Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

Check Washoe school zoning · View Nevada Report Card

Compare each school’s programs and published results for the same reporting year. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; contact charter, magnet and private schools about their application and enrollment requirements.

CRIME DATA

Review reported crime for the area

Where to start

Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.

Understand what the reports cover

The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.

A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Quick Answer

Is Arlington Towers a good place to own a condo?

Arlington Towers is one of the strongest value propositions for downtown Reno condo ownership. Direct Truckee River frontage, walkable access to the Riverwalk District and University of Nevada, and a $200K–$550K price range make it the most attainable entry into a downtown high-rise address. Nevada's zero state income tax adds meaningful annual savings for California relocators and improves rental-investment math. The critical verification: confirm the building's HOA rental-cap policy and warrantability with your lender before buying.

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to Arlington Towers?

Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.

Review taxes for your circumstances

Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.

Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.

Compare written costs and property requirements

Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.

Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.

Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

Explore relocation planning

RELOCATION TIMELINE

How to Relocate to Arlington Towers in 8 Steps

Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.

  1. Define your property and location needs

    Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.

  2. Confirm financing and the full ownership budget

    Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.

  3. Agree on representation and the search process

    Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.

  4. Investigate the exact address

    Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.

  5. Review the offer and its deadlines

    Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.

  6. Review inspections and property documents

    Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.

  7. Coordinate services and moving arrangements

    Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.

  8. Confirm possession and new-resident requirements

    Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.

Quick Answer

How long does it take to close on a condo in Arlington Towers?

Most Arlington Towers condo purchases close in 30–45 days; cash offers close in 7–14 days. Financed purchases require standard conforming underwriting, and most units fall well within the $766K conforming limit. The lender must also approve the building as warrantable; because Arlington Towers is an established high-rise, confirm warrantability before writing an offer.

Quick Answer

What credit score do you need to buy an Arlington Towers condo?

Most Arlington Towers purchases use conventional financing — the $200K–$550K range fits comfortably within the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550. Owner-occupant conventional loans typically want a 620+ credit score with 3–5% down, while investor purchases generally require 20–25% down and a stronger credit profile. Because Arlington Towers is an established high-rise, the building must be warrantable for conventional financing — confirm this with your lender first. Cash buyers face no credit requirement but should still budget 1–2% of the purchase price for closing costs.

Arlington Towers FAQ — 18 Answers

What Do Arlington Towers Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in Arlington Towers?

Arlington Towers condos run from roughly $200,000 for compact studio and one-bedroom units to $550,000-plus for larger upper-floor units with Truckee River and city views, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89501. The current median list price runs near $594,500 according to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS — one of the most attainable entry points into downtown Reno high-rise ownership.

What makes Arlington Towers different from other downtown Reno buildings?

Arlington Towers is the value-entry high-rise on the Truckee River — twin established towers at the western edge of downtown Reno with direct river and city views, on-site parking, and secured entry at a price point below the newer luxury mid-rises. While The Palladio and Riverwalk Towers command premium pricing for newer finishes, Arlington Towers offers the same downtown Reno walkability to the Riverwalk District and University of Nevada at a more attainable condo tier from $200K.

What types of properties are in Arlington Towers?

Arlington Towers is a condominium-only high-rise community — two established towers offering a range of floor plans from compact studios and one-bedroom units to larger two-bedroom layouts on the upper floors. Higher units frequently capture Truckee River and downtown skyline views. All units fall under HOA management covering building maintenance, common areas, elevators, secured entry, and on-site parking, with insurance on the building envelope handled by the association.

Is Arlington Towers a gated community?

No — Arlington Towers is not a guard-gated community. It is a secured-entry high-rise condominium building in downtown Reno with controlled lobby access, elevators, and on-site parking rather than staffed entry gates. Security comes through the building access system and HOA governance. Buyers seeking detached single-family guard-gated security should look at suburban Reno communities such as ArrowCreek or Montreux rather than a downtown high-rise.

What are HOA fees like in Arlington Towers?

HOA fees in Arlington Towers typically run $300–$500 per month depending on the unit size and floor, which generally cover building maintenance, common areas, elevators, secured entry, water and trash, building-envelope insurance, and on-site parking. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for current HOA dues on any specific listing — dues, reserve fund health, rental-cap policy, and any pending special assessments should all be verified during escrow.

What amenities does Arlington Towers offer?

Arlington Towers offers the practical amenities of an established downtown Reno high-rise: secured lobby entry, elevators, on-site assigned parking, and common-area maintenance handled by the HOA. Its true amenity is location — direct Truckee River frontage and a walkable position to the Riverwalk District restaurants, the downtown event corridor, and the University of Nevada campus. Specific amenity packages vary by floor and unit; confirm parking assignment and any storage with the listing during escrow.

What schools serve Arlington Towers?

Arlington Towers is in Washoe County and served by the Washoe County School District, which covers downtown Reno. Assigned schools in the downtown core typically include nearby elementary, middle, and high schools within the district, while regional options such as Davidson Academy on the UNR campus and Coral Academy of Science serve gifted and charter families. Confirm the current school-zone assignment for any specific unit with WCSD or the Washoe County Assessor before purchasing.

How close is Arlington Towers to the University of Nevada, Reno?

Arlington Towers sits within roughly five minutes of the University of Nevada, Reno — a short drive or walkable distance up Virginia Street from the downtown core to the UNR campus. This proximity makes the building attractive to university faculty, staff, graduate students, and investors targeting the steady UNR-driven rental demand. The downtown Riverwalk District and casino-entertainment corridor are also within walking distance from the towers.

What are property taxes like in Arlington Towers?

Property taxes in Arlington Towers fall under Washoe County's jurisdiction. Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $594,500 Arlington Towers condo, the annual tax bill typically runs approximately $1,625–$2,275 per Washoe County Assessor data — a meaningful carrying-cost advantage. Nevada also levies no state income tax, a notable benefit for owner-occupants and investors alike.

Can I rent out an Arlington Towers condo?

Many Arlington Towers units can be leased, but rental eligibility depends on the building HOA rental-cap policy and CC&Rs — some downtown Reno buildings limit the number of units that can be rented at any time. Before purchasing an Arlington Towers condo as a rental investment, verify the current rental cap, any waiting list, the minimum lease term, and short-term rental rules under Reno city ordinance. Steady University of Nevada and downtown-worker demand supports long-term leasing in this building.

How competitive is the Arlington Towers real estate market?

Arlington Towers inventory is building-specific and limited — the two towers hold a finite number of units, and well-priced value-entry condos at the $200K–$550K tier change hands at a steady pace. Per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89501, attainable downtown Reno condos typically go under contract in roughly 49 days, while larger upper-floor river-view units can take longer. When an Arlington Towers unit is priced correctly for its floor and view, buyer competition from UNR-area and downtown-worker buyers can move it quickly.

What is the investment case for Arlington Towers condos?

Arlington Towers offers the most attainable entry into downtown Reno high-rise ownership — a walkable Truckee River address near UNR, the Riverwalk District, and the downtown revitalization corridor. Downtown Reno has seen sustained reinvestment, supporting long-run condo demand. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 add favorable carrying math. Buyers and investors benefit from steady University of Nevada and downtown-worker rental demand — subject to HOA rental-cap and Reno short-term rental verification.

How does Arlington Towers compare to other downtown Reno buildings?

Arlington Towers is downtown Reno's value-entry high-rise tier — most attainable at $200K–$550K, versus newer luxury mid-rises like The Palladio and Riverwalk Towers that often start above $400K and extend past $700K for premium river-view units. Arlington Towers trades newer finishes for a lower price floor and direct Truckee River frontage. Buyers get the same downtown walkability and UNR proximity at a price point the newer luxury buildings cannot match.

What should I budget for monthly costs in Arlington Towers?

At a $594,500 Arlington Towers purchase with 20% down at 7% interest, principal and interest runs approximately $1,730/month. Add Washoe County property tax of roughly $160–$190/month, HOA dues of $300–$500/month covering building maintenance and parking, and homeowners insurance. Total monthly carrying costs for a financed purchase typically run $2,300–$2,600 before factoring Nevada's zero state income tax savings, which improve the ownership math for both owner-occupants and investors versus higher-tax states.

What do Arlington Towers buyers need to know about the HOA?

Before writing an offer on any Arlington Towers condo, request the full HOA document package: CC&Rs, bylaws, meeting minutes from the past two years, the reserve fund study, the current operating budget, the rental-cap policy, and any pending or recently levied special assessments. Building-envelope repair, elevator modernization, and parking-structure maintenance are common reserve fund line items in established high-rises — a reserve fund below 70% funded is a yellow flag. Confirm whether the HOA carries master hazard insurance on the building structure.

What is the minimum down payment to buy in Arlington Towers?

Most Arlington Towers purchases fall well within conforming loan limits — the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550 comfortably covers the $200K–$550K range. Conventional financing typically allows 3–5% down for owner-occupants with good credit, while investor purchases generally require 20–25% down. On a $594,500 purchase, a 5% down payment is $16,250 and a 20% investor down payment is $65,000. Confirm the building is warrantable with your lender first — older high-rises can have financing restrictions. Budget an additional 1–2% for closing costs. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 to confirm current condo programs for downtown Reno buildings.

Is Arlington Towers a good investment or rental property?

Arlington Towers is one of the strongest value-entry rental propositions in downtown Reno — a walkable Truckee River address near the University of Nevada, the Riverwalk District, and the downtown employment corridor, at a $200K–$550K price range more attainable than the luxury mid-rises. Rental demand from UNR faculty, graduate students, and downtown workers is steady year-round. The critical step: verify the building's HOA rental-cap policy and any short-term rental rules under Reno city ordinance before buying as an investment — some downtown buildings limit rentals.

What Else Do People Ask About Arlington Towers?

Beyond the main FAQ, these are the questions Arlington Towers buyers most frequently type into Google and AI assistants — each answered with verifiable specifics: prices sourced from the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, HOA dues from building records, parking and rental-cap details from the HOA, and GreatSchools 2026 school ratings.

Is Arlington Towers a good investment?

Arlington Towers offers the most attainable entry into downtown Reno high-rise ownership — a walkable Truckee River address near UNR and the downtown core. Downtown Reno revitalization supports long-run value. Strong University of Nevada and downtown-worker rental demand (verify the HOA rental-cap policy first), Nevada zero state income tax, and the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 create favorable long-term ownership math. Buyers and investors planning 5+ year holds have historically seen steady appreciation in ZIP 89501.

What is Arlington Towers in downtown Reno?

Arlington Towers is an established twin-tower high-rise condominium community in downtown Reno, Nevada, on the Truckee River at the western edge of the downtown core. It is the most attainable entry point into downtown Reno high-rise ownership at $200K–$550K — offering river and city views, secured entry, elevators, and on-site parking, walkable to the Riverwalk District and the University of Nevada.

Can I do a short-term rental in Arlington Towers?

Short-term rentals in Arlington Towers are subject to two layers of rules: (1) Reno city short-term rental ordinance — you must comply with city STR regulations for the unit; (2) the building HOA rental-cap policy and CC&Rs — many downtown Reno buildings limit the number of rentals or restrict short-term leasing. Both must be verified before purchasing as a rental investment. Operating a non-compliant rental can carry fines and affect resale value.

Does Arlington Towers have parking?

Yes — Arlington Towers includes on-site parking, typically assigned with the unit, as part of the established high-rise structure. Parking arrangements and the number of assigned spaces can vary by unit, so confirm the specific parking assignment, any additional space availability, and guest-parking rules with the listing and HOA during escrow. On-site secured parking is a practical advantage over street parking in the downtown core.

How close is Arlington Towers to the University of Nevada?

Arlington Towers is roughly five minutes from the University of Nevada, Reno — a short walk or drive up Virginia Street from the downtown core to the campus. This proximity makes the building attractive to university faculty, staff, and graduate students, and supports steady UNR-driven rental demand for investors. The downtown Riverwalk District and entertainment corridor are also within walking distance.

What are the best units in Arlington Towers?

Upper-floor units command premium pricing for full Truckee River and downtown skyline views — these are the larger $425K–$550K condos. Entry-tier studios and one-bedroom units on lower floors in the $200K–$300K range offer the most attainable downtown Reno entry. Mid-floor units with partial river or city views in the $300K–$425K range offer the best balance of value and views within the building.

Is downtown Reno worth it compared to suburban Reno areas?

For buyers who want walkable downtown living, Truckee River frontage, and proximity to the University of Nevada, Arlington Towers and downtown Reno are uniquely positioned at an attainable price. For buyers who prioritize larger homes, yards, and top-rated suburban schools, South Reno master-planned communities like Damonte Ranch offer strong value at $600K–$850K versus $200K–$550K for a downtown condo — a different lifestyle at a different price.

Are older high-rises like Arlington Towers harder to finance?

Established high-rises can have financing nuances — lenders require the building to be warrantable, meaning adequate reserves, an acceptable owner-occupancy ratio, no major litigation, and proper insurance. Most conventional lenders finance Arlington Towers units when the building meets these conditions, but it is essential to confirm warrantability with your lender before writing an offer. A specialist agent and a lender experienced with downtown Reno condos can verify this early in the process.
