Why Buy South Hills Estates Homes for Sale in Reno in Reno?
- South Hills Estates sits in the 89511 corridor — the same south Reno foothill ZIP as Galena, Montreux, and ArrowCreek — at a fraction of the entry price of its luxury neighbors.
- Early-1970s platting means larger lots and real elbow room, and many buyers see remodel or expansion upside in homes whose recent sale prices are driven substantially by the land underneath them.
- US-395 and the Mt. Rose Highway (NV-431) are minutes away, putting downtown Reno about 20 minutes north and Mt. Rose ski slopes and Lake Tahoe roughly 30 to 45 minutes up the hill.
- Nevada’s zero state income tax plus south Reno’s strong long-term demand from the Damonte Ranch and South Meadows employment corridor support durable resale values in established 89511 neighborhoods.

Reno FAQ — 6 Answers
What Do Reno Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhere exactly is South Hills Estates?
South Hills Estates is in south Reno’s 89511 ZIP code, in the foothill corridor south of the Mt. Rose Highway and US-395 junction, along streets such as Stoneybrook Drive and Orchard Hill Drive. It sits between the Steamboat and Pleasant Valley areas to the south and the Galena foothills to the west.
What kind of homes are in South Hills Estates?
Mostly single-family ranch-style homes built in the early 1970s, commonly in the roughly 1,500 to 2,000-square-foot range on generously sized lots. Many have been updated or expanded over the decades, so condition varies significantly from listing to listing.
How often do South Hills Estates homes sell?
Rarely — roughly seven or eight sales have closed since 2023, which is only a few opportunities a year in a neighborhood this small. Owners hold for the location and the land, so a saved-search alert is the practical way to catch a new listing before it goes pending.
What do South Hills Estates homes cost?
Recent closed sales have ranged from about $640,000 to $860,000. Given the modest home sizes, a large share of that price reflects the lot and the 89511 location — which is also why remodeled or expanded homes command clear premiums here.
Is financing straightforward for these homes?
Yes — these are standard single-family homes eligible for conventional financing, and most sales fall under jumbo thresholds. Appraisals need some care because low turnover means few direct comparables, so we work with lenders and appraisers who know the south Reno foothill market. Call (775) 277-2120 and we will line it up.
How does South Hills Estates compare to Galena Forest or St. James’s Village?
Galena Forest and St. James’s Village offer larger, newer custom homes in the pines at price points often two to three times higher. South Hills Estates trades that scale for early-1970s homes on good lots at a much lower entry price in the same corridor — a value play on the 89511 address rather than a luxury play.
