SAFETY & CRIME
Is Lakeridge Safe?
Direct Answer
Yes. Lakeridge and the surrounding Southwest Reno corridor post crime rates below the citywide average. According to City of Reno Police and FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, property crime runs at low levels here, and gated sub-enclaves around Lake Stanley add controlled access for additional peace of mind. The neighborhood's residential, owner-occupied character limits through-traffic.

What Buyers Should Know
Lakeridge sits in one of Reno's most established residential corridors. The neighborhood's mature, owner-occupied character and the golf course and lake setting reduce through-traffic and transient activity that drive higher crime rates in more mixed-use areas. Southwest Reno including Lakeridge and Caughlin Ranch runs below the citywide crime average on both property and violent crime metrics.
The gated sub-enclaves surrounding Lake Stanley add an extra layer of access control — private roads, entry gates, and in some cases security monitoring — for residents who want maximum peace of mind without leaving the Lakeridge community. Standard suburban precautions (secured vehicles, lit entries, aware neighbors) cover the rest of the community effectively.
Most crime in the broader 89509 corridor reflects the city-center-adjacent character of the Midtown section of the ZIP — Lakeridge specifically, given its residential character and distance from high-traffic retail corridors, tracks below the ZIP-wide average.

Quick Answer
Is Lakeridge a good place to live in Reno?
Yes, especially for buyers who value established neighborhood character and golf-course lifestyle. Lakeridge combines a Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed 18-hole course, lakefront settings along Lake Stanley, mature tree-canopied streets, and a 12-minute commute to Downtown Reno. Nevada's zero state income tax and the Washoe County Assessor's sub-1% effective property-tax rate add meaningful ownership cost advantages for households relocating from California. According to the Nevada State Demographer, the broader Reno metro continues to attract California in-migration — Southwest Reno neighborhoods like Lakeridge capture buyers who want established character rather than master-plan uniformity.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Who Lives in Lakeridge?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP 89509 — covering Lakeridge and Southwest Reno — carries a median household income near $78,000 and a median home value near $560,000, both above the citywide Reno median.

Lakeridge attracts a mix of long-term Reno residents who purchased when the community was newer, California transplants drawn by the tax advantage and golf lifestyle, and professionals who value the central-southwest location for its shorter commute to both Downtown and the airport. Owner-occupancy runs high, consistent with the 50-plus-year-old community's family-oriented character.

DEMAND & GROWTH
How Is Demand in Lakeridge Growing?
Lakeridge is a built-out 1970s community — population growth happens through resale turnover rather than new construction. Demand has strengthened as California in-migration into Reno accelerates, and the limited inventory of established golf-course homes in Southwest Reno constrains supply, supporting steady price appreciation through rate cycles.

City of Reno population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected) — demand context for Lakeridge
Lakeridge benefits from Reno-wide in-migration trends: as south Reno master plans fill out and prices there rise, established communities like Lakeridge, Caughlin Ranch, and Old Southwest Reno capture buyers who want a mature neighborhood without a new-build wait. The Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course and Lake Stanley setting are irreplaceable in the market, which keeps resale demand ahead of supply in most rate environments.

WHY LAKERIDGE
Why Does Lakeridge Stand Out in Southwest Reno?
From a golf course no new community can replicate to the central-southwest location and Nevada's zero income tax, Lakeridge offers a lifestyle anchor that master plans elsewhere in Reno cannot match. Each advantage below is tied to a verifiable source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, Washoe County Assessor data, RSAR market statistics, and GreatSchools ratings — not marketing copy.
- Lakeridge Golf Course
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course on-site
The Lakeridge Golf Course was designed by one of the most celebrated architects in American golf history — a distinction no newer Reno community can offer.
- community-data-north.json
Lake Stanley lakefront setting
Man-made Lake Stanley at the community's center creates lakefront and lake-view home settings unavailable in any Reno master plan at comparable price points.
- Nevada Department of Taxation
No Nevada state income tax
Nevada levies no personal income tax — five-figure annual savings for most relocating California households, protected indefinitely by Nevada constitution.
- NNRMLS resale data
Established character that new construction cannot replicate
Fifty-plus years of mature tree canopy, defined architecture, and community identity — qualities that take decades to develop and are absent from new master plans.
- Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471
3% property-tax cap + low effective rate
Nevada's primary-residence cap under NRS 361.471 keeps long-run ownership costs predictable; the Washoe County Assessor's effective rate runs 0.5–0.7%.
WHY BUY IN LAKERIDGE
What Are the Top Reasons to Buy a Home in Lakeridge?
Lakeridge's case rests on a combination of irreplaceable community assets and Nevada's structural cost advantages: a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course, Lake Stanley, zero state income tax, and a 12-minute downtown commute — all per BLS Reno-Sparks MSA economic data and Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS market statistics.

What Outdoor Amenities Does Lakeridge Offer?
Lakeridge is built around a golf course and a lake — two outdoor amenities that most Reno neighborhoods cannot offer. Beyond the community itself, the City of Reno maintains regional parks within a short drive, and Lake Tahoe and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe are accessible in 35–50 minutes from Lakeridge's central-southwest position.

Quick Answer
Do Lakeridge homes have HOA fees?
HOA fees in Lakeridge vary significantly by sub-community. Many single-family sections have no HOA — consistent with the neighborhood's 1970s open-access origins. Condominium complexes and townhome clusters carry HOAs in the $100–$200/month range covering exterior maintenance, landscaping, and common-area upkeep. Gated sub-enclaves surrounding Lake Stanley may have higher dues for access control and security. Always pull the specific HOA budget, dues history, and any special-assessment balance before writing an offer — and confirm directly with the sellers' agent or the HOA management company.
Moving to Lakeridge
Should I Move to Lakeridge, Reno?
California households choose Southwest Reno for established neighborhoods, golf lifestyle, and Nevada's tax advantage. Lakeridge stands out with a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course, Lake Stanley at the center, and a 12-minute commute to Downtown. California's top income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero, and that single difference drives most relocations.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Lakeridge
The tax math is the same whether you land in Lakeridge or Montreux: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $40,000 per year. Lakeridge adds a layer most suburban master plans cannot: a golf course designed by a Hall of Fame architect, a man-made lake, and 50-year-old mature landscaping that new construction communities cannot replicate. Nevada's 3% annual property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 locks in long-run ownership cost predictability.
At an $800,000 budget in the San Francisco Bay Area, buyers typically find a 900–1,200 sq ft older property. That same budget in Lakeridge secures a 2,400–3,200 sq ft home backing to the fairway or lake — often fully remodeled, with views no new master plan in Reno can yet offer, and Downtown Reno twelve minutes away.
According to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, the median home price in ZIP 89509 runs about $620,000 in June 2026. Per the Washoe County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows Reno-Sparks MSA unemployment near historic lows, anchored by major employers at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center.
Southwest Reno's residents benefit from the same diversified economy as the broader metro: the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of the city anchors Tesla's Gigafactory, Switch, Panasonic, and Google data centers, while the University of Nevada, Reno, Renown Health, and a growing tech and logistics base round out the job market. Lakeridge sits 15 minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, making it convenient for professionals who travel for work.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Lakeridge, Reno vs. San Francisco Bay Area
Day-to-day costs run dramatically lower than the Bay Area across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. A Lakeridge home at $620K–$1M runs a fraction of comparable Bay Area pricing, and the utility and grocery costs of the Reno-Sparks metro track the Mountain West average rather than coastal California inflation.
| Metric | Lakeridge, Reno NV | San Francisco Bay Area, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Median List Price (community) | ~$620K | ~$1.3M–$1.6M |

Lakeridge Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Single-family rentals in Lakeridge and ZIP 89509 typically run $2,200–$3,400 per month, with condos and townhomes in the $1,700–$2,400 band and premium lakefront homes above $3,800. For buyers planning a five-plus-year hold, purchasing builds equity that steadily rising Reno rents otherwise hand to a landlord — and Nevada adds no state income tax on top of the appreciation.

Lakeridge FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Lakeridge Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Lakeridge?
The median asking price in Lakeridge runs roughly $725,000 for active listings per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS and Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89509, at about $310 per square foot. Entry-level condos and townhomes begin near $500K, mid-tier single-family homes on tree-lined streets range from $600K to $1M, and premium lakefront or golf-backing custom residences climb past $1.5M toward $2M for the finest addresses.
What type of neighborhood is Lakeridge?
Lakeridge is an established golf-course community in Southwest Reno, built primarily in the 1970s and anchored by the Lakeridge Golf Course — originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. — and the man-made Lake Stanley. The neighborhood blends mid-century homes, modern remodels, upscale condominiums, townhomes, and custom single-family residences, several of them in gated sub-enclaves surrounding the lake, with mature tree-lined streets and rolling hillside terrain.
Is Lakeridge in a good location in Reno?
Lakeridge sits in Southwest Reno, about five miles from Downtown Reno and roughly eight minutes from Midtown via South Virginia Street. Its central-southwest position keeps residents close to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport (roughly 15 minutes via I-580), Midtown dining, and the freeway loop. At the same time the neighborhood retains a quiet, residential character — not as far from downtown as the south Sierra foothill communities but more established and less congested than the South Meadows corridor.
What is the average days on market for Lakeridge homes?
Lakeridge homes list and sell in roughly 61 days on market based on Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89509 and surrounding Southwest Reno, per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS statistics. Well-priced, move-in-ready condominiums and townhomes near the golf course typically go pending in two to three weeks, while larger custom single-family residences and premium lakefront homes can take six to ten weeks as the buyer pool narrows.
Are there HOA fees in Lakeridge?
Lakeridge HOA fees vary by sub-community. Many single-family sections have no HOA at all, consistent with the neighborhood's 1970s open-access origins. Condominium complexes and townhome clusters within Lakeridge carry HOAs in the $100–$200 per month range covering exterior maintenance, landscaping, and common-area upkeep. Gated sub-enclaves surrounding Lake Stanley may carry slightly higher dues for access and perimeter security. Always pull the specific HOA budget, dues, and any special-assessment history before writing an offer.
What are property taxes like in Lakeridge?
Property taxes in Lakeridge follow Nevada's low statewide structure. Per the Washoe County Assessor, the effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value, and Nevada caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $700,000 Lakeridge home, that typically pencils to roughly $3,500–$4,900 per year. Nevada also levies zero state income tax, making the combined ownership cost far below comparable California markets.
What schools serve the Lakeridge area?
Lakeridge is served by the Washoe County School District. Specific school assignments depend on the home's street address within ZIP 89509, but the Southwest Reno zone typically feeds Huffaker Elementary (or adjacent WCSD elementary campuses), Pine Middle School, and Reno High School — one of Reno's most established high schools. Private options within a short drive include Bishop Manogue Catholic High School and Our Lady of the Snows. Always confirm current zone assignments directly with Washoe County School District before selecting a home.
Is Lakeridge a safe neighborhood?
Yes. Southwest Reno including Lakeridge posts crime rates below the citywide average, with property crime rates comparable to the established west-side communities of Caughlin Ranch and Old Southwest Reno. The neighborhood's mature residential character and limited through-traffic contribute to a quiet, low-incident profile. Gated sub-enclaves around Lake Stanley add controlled access for residents who want an additional layer of security. Standard suburban precautions cover most of it.
Is Lakeridge good for families?
Lakeridge works well for families who want an established, tree-canopied neighborhood without the longer commutes of the south Reno master plans. The golf course and lake setting provide a calm outdoor environment, and the Southwest Reno location keeps Washoe County schools, grocery stores, and medical services within a short drive. Families with older children or teenagers tend to appreciate the proximity to Midtown and Downtown; families with young children often choose south Reno master plans like Damonte Ranch for newer parks and larger lots.
What is the Lakeridge Golf Course?
Lakeridge Golf Course is an 18-hole public golf course winding through the heart of the neighborhood, originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. — the architect behind many of America's most notable layouts. The course plays alongside the man-made Lake Stanley and through the rolling terrain of Southwest Reno, offering fairway-view and lakefront settings for many of the premium homes in the community. It is a semi-public facility open for daily-fee play and memberships, and serves as the lifestyle anchor for the entire Lakeridge community.
What types of homes are available in Lakeridge?
Lakeridge offers a wide mix: upscale condominiums starting near $500K, townhomes in the $550K–$750K range, established single-family homes from $600K to $1.2M, and premium custom or extensively remodeled residences from $1.2M to $2M. Architecture spans classic mid-century designs distinctive to the 1970s build-out, fully modernized remodels, and newer custom builds on lots backing to the golf course or Lake Stanley. Gated sub-enclaves around the lake carry the highest price premiums.
How does Lakeridge compare to Caughlin Ranch?
Both are established Southwest Reno communities with mature landscaping and a quieter character than the south Reno master plans. Caughlin Ranch carries its own 25-mile private trail network, a stronger HOA structure, and typically higher resale prices ($700K–$1.6M median range). Lakeridge is anchored by a golf course and lake rather than a trail system, offers a wider price range ($500K–$2M), has less uniform HOA coverage, and sits slightly closer to Midtown. Buyers choosing between them usually decide on golf-versus-trails and HOA preference.
Are there new construction homes in Lakeridge?
Lakeridge is an established 1970s community, so true new construction is rare — the neighborhood is largely built out. What buyers do find is a steady stream of fully remodeled homes and custom renovations that effectively deliver a new-build experience inside a mature, tree-lined setting. Buyers seeking production new construction in Southwest Reno should also look at Caughlin Ranch infill and the Plumas-Whitney corridor. If brand-new master-plan homes are a priority, south Reno communities like Damonte Ranch and South Meadows offer active new-build pipelines.
What is the cost of living like in Lakeridge and Southwest Reno?
Lakeridge sits in ZIP 89509, one of Southwest Reno's most desirable zones, where the median list price runs about $725,000 per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS data. Day-to-day costs for groceries, fuel, and utilities track the Reno-Sparks metro average — itself well below the San Francisco Bay Area. Nevada's zero state income tax is the single largest driver of the cost-of-living advantage versus California, saving most relocating households five to six figures annually depending on income.
What should I know before buying a home in Lakeridge?
Before buying in Lakeridge, verify HOA status for the specific sub-community — some sections have no HOA, others carry $100–$200 monthly dues, and gated lakefront enclaves may be higher. Pull the full dues, any special-assessment balance, and the CC&Rs. Budget for a thorough inspection including roof, HVAC, and structural items common to 1970s construction. Nevada closes through escrow, typically 30–45 days from accepted offer. Confirm school-zone assignments with Washoe County School District for the exact address, as boundaries within ZIP 89509 vary by street.
What is the minimum down payment to buy a home in Lakeridge?
Most Lakeridge buyers put down 5% to 20% depending on loan type and property category. Conventional loans start at 3% for first-time buyers; FHA allows 3.5% with a 580 credit score; VA requires zero down for eligible veterans. On a $650K mid-tier Lakeridge home, plan for roughly $19,500 (3%) to $130,000 (20%). Condominiums in Lakeridge may require a project approval review for FHA or VA financing — confirm condo-project status before applying.
How long does it take to close on a Lakeridge home?
Most Lakeridge purchases close in 30 to 45 days. Cash offers can close in 7–14 days. Financed conventional, jumbo, and VA purchases run 30–45 days from accepted offer. Condo purchases occasionally add a few days if lender project review is required. Nevada uses escrow companies rather than attorneys; the escrow officer coordinates title, payoff, and funding without court involvement.
Is Lakeridge walkable?
Lakeridge is moderately walkable by Reno standards — a car-oriented neighborhood where residents can access the golf course, Lake Stanley, and nearby South Virginia Street restaurants and shops on foot, but most grocery runs and commutes require driving. The neighborhood's internal street network and the proximity of Midtown (about eight minutes south) give residents a more urban-adjacent feel than the farther-south master plans like Damonte Ranch.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Lakeridge, Reno?
These are the questions Lakeridge buyers ask most in Google and AI searches — answered specifically for the community, using prices from the Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, school ratings from GreatSchools, and drive times from community-data-north.
Is Lakeridge a good neighborhood in Reno?
Yes — Lakeridge is one of Southwest Reno's most distinctive and sought-after addresses, anchored by a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course and Lake Stanley. The combination of mature landscaping, established character, and a central location makes it one of the few Reno neighborhoods that cannot be replicated by new construction.
Who designed the Lakeridge Golf Course?
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. — one of the most celebrated golf course architects in American history, responsible for hundreds of notable layouts worldwide. The Lakeridge course is an 18-hole layout winding through Southwest Reno alongside Lake Stanley.
What is the most expensive home in Lakeridge?
Premium lakefront and golf-backing custom residences in Lakeridge typically list from $1.5M to $2M at the top end, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89509. Gated sub-enclaves directly on Lake Stanley command the highest prices in the community.
Is Lakeridge gated?
Lakeridge itself is largely open-access, but the community includes several gated sub-enclaves surrounding Lake Stanley. Individual street or complex gating varies — confirm access details for any specific address before purchasing.
How far is Lakeridge from Lake Tahoe?
About 50 minutes from Lakeridge to Incline Village on Lake Tahoe's north shore via NV-431 (Mt. Rose Highway). Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe is closer at roughly 35 minutes — a faster ski-day commute than from many other Reno neighborhoods.
Are there condos in Lakeridge?
Yes — Lakeridge includes a mix of condominiums and townhomes in the $500K–$750K range, alongside single-family homes and lakefront custom residences. Condo HOA fees typically run $100–$200/month. Note that some condo complexes may not qualify for FHA or VA financing — verify project status with your lender.
What is the Lakeridge zip code?
Lakeridge is in ZIP code 89509, which also covers the Midtown and Central Reno corridor. The ZIP had a median list price of approximately $520K and roughly 174 active listings in June 2026 per NNRMLS data.
Does Lakeridge have a homeowners association?
HOA status varies by sub-community within Lakeridge. Many single-family sections have no HOA. Condo and townhome complexes carry HOAs in the $100–$200/month range. Gated sub-enclaves around Lake Stanley may be higher. Always verify the specific HOA situation for any address before making an offer.
