SAFETY & CRIME
Is Belvedere Towers Safe?
Belvedere Towers is a secured-entry downtown high-rise with controlled building access, secured garage parking, and HOA-managed common areas. According to Washoe County Sheriff and Reno Police data, downtown Reno carries higher reported activity than suburban neighborhoods, but the building's in-house security model — a secured lobby, controlled garage, and 24/7 access control — gives residents protection that street-level housing lacks.
- Building accessControlled lobby + garage entry
- Common-area oversightHigh-rise condo structure
- Neighborhood characterDowntown Reno core, ZIP 89501
- ParkingSecured garage for residents
What Buyers Should Know
Downtown Reno reports higher reported crime activity than suburban Washoe County areas per Reno Police Department and Washoe County Sheriff data — a normal pattern for a dense urban core with nightlife and casino traffic. Belvedere Towers answers this with a secured-entry model: a single controlled lobby, secured garage parking, and HOA-managed common areas that keep non-residents out of the living floors.
The building's vertical-density design means residents share one monitored entry point rather than the multiple exposures of a ground-level home. Secured garage parking removes the street-parking risk that affects many downtown residents, and the HOA maintains and oversees common areas including the rooftop pool, fitness center, and lounge — adding a layer of property security beyond individual unit ownership.
Buyers evaluating downtown living should weigh the urban setting honestly: nightlife and casino foot traffic are part of the downtown experience. For residents who want walkable convenience with building-level security, Belvedere Towers offers a strong balance. As with any condo, confirm the building's security systems, access protocols, and any recent incident history with the HOA during due diligence.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost at Belvedere Towers?
HOA dues at Belvedere Towers typically run $400–$750 per month depending on unit size and floor. Dues generally cover the rooftop pool and spa, the fitness center, the community lounge, secured building entry, garage parking, common-area maintenance, building insurance on the structure, and shared utilities. As with any high-rise condo, request the full HOA document package — operating budget, reserve fund study, meeting minutes, and any pending special-assessment disclosures — during escrow. Confirm the owner-occupancy ratio too, since it affects condo financing.
Should I Move to Belvedere Towers?
California buyers choose downtown Reno condos like Belvedere Towers for walkable urban living and Nevada's zero state income tax. California's top rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — on a $200,000 income that gap saves roughly $19,000 annually, plus a downtown Reno address costing a fraction of comparable Bay Area high-rise condos.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Belvedere Towers
The tax math starts the conversation: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $15,000–$19,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Belvedere Towers adds a second layer: a full-amenity downtown high-rise from $200K with a rooftop pool, secured garage parking, and a walkable Truckee River location — at a price point that buys only a fraction of a comparable Bay Area or coastal-California condo.
At a $350,000 budget, buyers in coastal California typically find a small, dated studio with no amenities. That same budget at Belvedere Towers secures a one- or two-bedroom downtown condo with a rooftop pool, secured parking, and city or Truckee River views — on a Nevada tax address with zero state income tax and a 3% annual property-tax growth cap.
According to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, the downtown Reno ZIP 89501 condo median list price runs near $350,000 in the Belvedere Towers tier — on a tax-adjusted basis, far below comparable California urban-condo pricing once income-tax savings are factored in. Per the Washoe County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value, capped at 3% annual growth on a primary residence. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the Reno-Sparks MSA running near historic-low unemployment, anchored by healthcare, technology, and logistics employers within minutes of downtown.
Belvedere Towers residents live in the heart of the Reno-Sparks job market — the University of Nevada, Reno is six minutes north, downtown employers are within walking distance, and Reno-Tahoe International Airport is roughly ten minutes via US-395. Remote workers and downtown professionals who want a walkable, low-maintenance condo with full amenities find Belvedere Towers an ideal Nevada base. The broader Washoe County economy is anchored by healthcare (Renown Health), technology (Switch, Tesla Gigafactory), and the university — all accessible without a long commute.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Belvedere Towers (Reno, NV) vs. Downtown Sacramento, CA
Day-to-day costs run lower in downtown Reno than comparable California urban cores for relocating professionals. Nevada has no state income tax, no state capital-gains tax, and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. A condo at Belvedere Towers carries an effective property-tax rate roughly half of comparable California urban high-rise addresses.

Belvedere Towers Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Long-term rentals at Belvedere Towers draw steady demand from University of Nevada, Reno students, young professionals, and relocating workers who want a walkable downtown address with amenities. Short-term rentals are governed by the City of Reno ordinance and the building's CC&Rs — verify current permit availability, any HOA rental cap, and CC&R compliance for a specific unit before purchasing as an investment. Long-term rents for downtown Reno condos in the Belvedere Towers tier typically run $1,500–$2,600/month per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS regional data. For buyers planning a 3+ year hold, ownership builds equity while Nevada's zero state income tax applies to any appreciation at sale.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a condo at Belvedere Towers?
Most Belvedere Towers condo purchases close in 30–45 days; cash offers close in 7–14 days. Financed purchases are typically conventional since most units fall within conforming limits, but the lender must approve the building as warrantable and confirm the owner-occupancy ratio — verify this before writing an offer so financing doesn't stall. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys.
Quick Answer
What credit score do you need to buy a Belvedere Towers condo?
Most Belvedere Towers purchases use conventional financing — units fall within the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550. Conventional condo loans typically require a 620+ credit score and 5–20% down, though lenders price warrantable condos most favorably, so a stronger score and the building's warrantability status both matter. FHA financing may be available if the building is FHA-approved. Cash buyers face no credit requirement but should still budget 1–2% of the purchase price for closing costs. Confirm the building's warrantability and owner-occupancy ratio with your lender before making an offer.
Belvedere Towers FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Belvedere Towers Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the price range at Belvedere Towers?
Belvedere Towers condos generally trade from roughly $200,000 for studios to $500,000 or more for two-bedroom and penthouse residences, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89501. The median list price runs near $350,000 according to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, making Belvedere Towers one of the most attainable ways to own a full-amenity rooftop-pool condo downtown.
What was Belvedere Towers before it was condos?
Belvedere Towers occupies the site of the former Sundowner hotel-casino at 450 N. Arlington Avenue, which closed in 2003. The property was redeveloped into condominiums, and the 13-story north tower reopened with 177 residential units in 2007. It is one of downtown Reno's signature mid-century high-rise conversions, turning a closed gaming property into a year-round residential address just north of the Truckee River.
What types of units are in Belvedere Towers?
Belvedere Towers offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences plus penthouse suites across its 13 stories and 177 units. Floor plans range from compact, efficient studios ideal for students and investors to larger two-bedroom homes and top-floor penthouses with sweeping views of the Reno skyline, the Truckee River corridor, and the Sierra Nevada. Upper-floor units command the strongest views and the highest price-per-square-foot within the building.
Is Belvedere Towers a gated community?
No — Belvedere Towers is a secured-entry downtown high-rise, not a guard-gated community. Security comes from controlled building access, secured garage parking, and the HOA-managed common areas rather than a staffed entry gate. This is the standard model for downtown Reno condo towers, where vertical density and a single secured lobby replace the perimeter-gate approach used in suburban master-planned communities.
What are the HOA dues at Belvedere Towers?
HOA dues at Belvedere Towers typically run $400–$750 per month depending on unit size and floor, generally covering the rooftop pool and spa, the fitness center, the community lounge, secured building entry, garage parking, common-area maintenance, and shared utilities. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 204-6150 for current dues on any specific listing — request the HOA operating budget, reserve study, and any pending special-assessment disclosures during the inspection period.
Does Belvedere Towers have a pool?
Yes — Belvedere Towers features a rooftop pool with a spa and a sun deck, one of the strongest amenity packages of any downtown Reno building. The amenity stack also includes a fully equipped fitness center, a community lounge with billiards and a media room, and secured garage parking. These shared amenities, maintained through the HOA, are a major reason the building draws professionals, downsizers, and investors alike.
What schools serve Belvedere Towers?
Belvedere Towers is served by the Washoe County School District, which covers all of downtown Reno. Because downtown attendance boundaries can vary block by block, families should confirm the specific assigned elementary, middle, and high school for the 89501 address with WCSD at enrollment. Regional alternatives include Davidson Academy on the nearby University of Nevada, Reno campus and Coral Academy of Science charter schools.
What amenities are walking distance from Belvedere Towers?
Belvedere Towers sits within walking distance of the Truckee River Riverwalk, Wingfield Park, downtown dining and casinos, and Greater Nevada Field — home of the Reno Aces minor-league baseball team. The University of Nevada, Reno is about six minutes north, and Reno-Tahoe International Airport is roughly ten minutes via US-395. This central position is the building's defining advantage: a genuinely walkable downtown lifestyle rare in Northern Nevada.
What are property taxes like at Belvedere Towers?
Property taxes at Belvedere Towers fall under Washoe County 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 $350,000 Belvedere Towers condo, the annual tax bill typically runs approximately $1,750–$2,450 per Washoe County Assessor data. Nevada also levies no state income tax, a meaningful advantage for relocating professionals and investors alike.
Can I rent out a Belvedere Towers condo?
Rental rules at Belvedere Towers are governed by the building's CC&Rs and the City of Reno's short-term rental ordinance — not all units allow nightly rentals, and the HOA may cap the share of leased units or restrict short-term stays. Long-term leasing is more commonly permitted. Before purchasing as an investment, verify the specific complex's rental rules, any rental cap, and current City of Reno STR permit availability for the parcel. Operating a non-permitted short-term rental carries fines and can affect resale.
How competitive is the Belvedere Towers market?
Belvedere Towers inventory is limited — the building holds 177 units, and only a handful are typically listed at any one time. Per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89501, well-priced downtown Reno condos in the $200K–$400K range generally go under contract in roughly 45 days, while larger penthouse units can take longer as the qualified buyer pool narrows. When an entry-tier studio or one-bedroom is priced correctly for its floor and view, competition from investors and first-time buyers can accelerate the timeline.
What is the investment case for Belvedere Towers condos?
Belvedere Towers offers one of the most attainable entry points into downtown Reno ownership — a full-amenity high-rise with a rooftop pool, secured parking, and a walkable river-and-casino location. Downtown Reno's ongoing revitalization, the University of Nevada, Reno nearby, and Nevada's zero state income tax support both rental demand and long-run value. Buyers planning a 3–5 year hold benefit from appreciation potential plus optional long-term rental income — subject to HOA rental rules and City of Reno permit verification.
How does Belvedere Towers compare to other downtown Reno towers?
Belvedere Towers is a mid-sized 177-unit tower with one of the strongest amenity packages downtown, anchored by its rooftop pool and spa. The Montage is the largest downtown tower at 370-plus units a few blocks south, Arlington Towers offers a generally lower entry price on the river, and the Riverside Artist Lofts provide historic 1926 live/work character. Belvedere's advantage is its amenity stack and secured-garage convenience at a mid-market price point.
What should I budget for monthly costs at Belvedere Towers?
At a $350,000 Belvedere Towers purchase with 20% down at 7% interest, principal and interest runs approximately $1,862 per month. Add Washoe County property tax of roughly $175 per month, HOA dues of $400–$750 per month, and homeowners insurance. Total monthly carrying costs for a financed purchase typically run $2,600–$3,000 before accounting for Nevada's zero state income tax savings, which for relocating professionals can offset a meaningful portion of those costs over the year.
What do Belvedere Towers buyers need to know about the HOA?
Before writing an offer on any Belvedere 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, and any pending or recently levied special assessments. High-rise condo HOAs carry large shared systems — elevators, the rooftop pool, the building envelope, and structural reserves — so a reserve fund below 70% funded is a yellow flag. Confirm the HOA carries master hazard insurance on the building structure and verify the owner-occupancy ratio, which affects financing.
What is the minimum down payment to buy at Belvedere Towers?
Most Belvedere Towers condos fall well within conforming loan limits — the $200K–$500K range sits below the 2026 conforming limit of $766,550, so standard conventional financing applies. Conventional condo loans typically require 5–20% down and a 620+ credit score, though lenders price warrantable condos best; on a $350,000 purchase, 20% down is $70,000 and a 5% down option is $17,500. FHA financing may be available if the building is FHA-approved. Budget an additional 1–2% for closing costs. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 204-6150 to confirm current condo programs and the building's warrantability status.
Is Belvedere Towers a good investment or rental property?
Belvedere Towers is one of the stronger entry-level investment propositions in downtown Reno — a full-amenity high-rise with a rooftop pool, secured parking, and a walkable river-and-casino location near the University of Nevada, Reno. Long-term rental demand from students, young professionals, and relocating workers is steady. The critical step: verify the building's CC&Rs on leasing, confirm any HOA rental cap, and check City of Reno short-term rental permit availability before buying as an investment — some downtown buildings restrict or prohibit nightly rentals.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell at Belvedere Towers?
Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group represents buyers and sellers throughout downtown Reno, including Belvedere Towers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and penthouse transactions. Our agents prepare a custom CMA using NNRMLS closed data specific to ZIP 89501 and the building's unit tiers, and we review HOA warrantability so financing doesn't stall at underwriting.

Belvedere Towers offers one of the most attainable entries into downtown Reno ownership — a full-amenity high-rise near the University of Nevada, Reno.

What is Belvedere Towers in Reno?
Belvedere Towers is a 13-story, 177-unit high-rise condominium building at 450 N.

It offers studios, one- and two-bedroom units, and penthouses, with one of the strongest amenity packages downtown — a rooftop pool and spa, fitness center, community lounge, and secured garage parking.
Can I do a short-term rental at Belvedere Towers?
Short-term rentals at Belvedere Towers are subject to two layers of rules: (1) the City of Reno STR ordinance — you must hold an active permit for the specific parcel, and availability varies; (2) the building's CC&Rs — some downtown condo buildings restrict or prohibit nightly rentals or cap the share of leased units. Both must be verified before purchasing as a short-term rental investment. Operating a non-permitted STR carries fines and can affect resale value.
What amenities does Belvedere Towers have?
Belvedere Towers amenities include a rooftop pool with a spa and sun deck, a fully equipped fitness center, a community lounge with billiards and a media room, secured building entry, and secured garage parking. The amenity stack is among the strongest of any downtown Reno building and is included in the monthly HOA dues, which typically run $400–$750 depending on unit size and floor.

Belvedere Towers is a 13-story high-rise — the north tower of the former Sundowner property — with 177 residential units that reopened as condos in 2007. Upper floors capture the strongest views of the Reno skyline, the Truckee River corridor, and the Sierra Nevada, and command the highest price-per-square-foot within the building.
What are the best units in Belvedere Towers?
Upper-floor two-bedroom units and penthouses typically command premium pricing for their panoramic skyline, Truckee River, and Sierra Nevada views — these are the $450K–$500K+ residences. Entry-tier studios in the $200K–$260K range offer the most attainable downtown entry. Units with south- or west-facing exposure for afternoon light and river-facing positioning are the most sought-after within the mid-range tier.
Is downtown Reno a good place to own a condo?
For buyers who want walkable urban living, full building amenities, and a Nevada tax address, downtown Reno — including Belvedere Towers — is uniquely positioned in Northern Nevada. The walkable river-and-casino core, University of Nevada, Reno proximity, and ongoing downtown revitalization support both rental demand and resale. For buyers who prioritize yards and detached living, South Reno master plans offer strong value at $600K–$700K instead.
What was the Sundowner in Reno?
The Sundowner was a hotel-casino on N. Arlington Avenue in downtown Reno that closed in 2003. After closure, the property was redeveloped into condominiums, and the 13-story north tower reopened as Belvedere Towers with 177 residential units in 2007 — one of several downtown Reno gaming-to-residential conversions that reshaped the urban core in the mid-2000s.
