School planning
Which Schools Serve a Reno Address?
Ask the district for the address-specific school assignment for the enrollment year, since boundaries change, and confirm it before you buy. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; charter, magnet and private schools set their own rules. Check Washoe school zoning · Nevada Report Card
CRIME DATA
How Can You Check Reported Crime Near a Home?
Ask the law-enforcement agency that serves the address for its current reports, and compare places only across the same reporting period, boundary and offense definitions. Missing records do not mean zero crime, the FBI cautions against ranking communities on crime totals alone, and a citywide figure does not describe a particular street.

St. James's Village combines guard-gated security, forest privacy on one-to-four-acre lots, Mount Rose and Washoe Valley views, and strong Washoe County School District zoning — all about 25 minutes from Downtown Reno and the airport.

GROWTH & APPRECIATION
How Fast Is South Reno Growing?
ZIP 89511 has been one of Reno's fastest-appreciating ZIP codes over the past decade, driven by constrained custom-lot supply, strong California in-migration, and consistent demand from executive and TRI Center-adjacent buyers.

ZIP 89511 median list price trajectory, 2010–2026
St. James's Village and the broader 89511 luxury tier have appreciated steadily, outperforming the Reno city average in most years. Limited new custom-lot supply — the community is wrapped by national forest with no room to expand — keeps upward pressure on resale prices. California executive relocation from the Bay Area and Southern California continues to supply qualified buyers.

Honest Considerations
- Custom estates require deeper due diligence — no model-row comparables shortcut

- Higher HOA dues ($200–$500/mo) than open-access enclaves, reflecting the gate, patrols, and amenities

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Can You Tour St. James's Village Homes This Weekend?
With only 6–10 active St. James's Village listings at any time and a 24/7 guarded gate, open houses are rare — most sellers prefer private, appointment-only showings coordinated through their agent. Set up an instant alert to get notified the moment a village estate schedules an open house, or contact our team for a private tour of any active listing.
Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to St. James's Village?
Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to St. James's Village, get these in writing:
- The parcel's annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and abatement eligibility. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s tax cap. Nevada tax-abatement rules
- Lender, insurance and utility quotes for the exact address, plus the association's resale documents and any special assessments.
- The school assignment for the enrollment year, confirmed with the district.
- Your tax situation, reviewed by an adviser — California-source income can remain taxable after a move (Franchise Tax Board).
- Qualifying new residents generally must obtain a Nevada driver’s license and vehicle registration within 30 days. Check the Nevada DMV’s requirements and exceptions for your circumstances.

Cost of Ownership
What Will St. James's Village Cost You Each Month?
Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Illustrative Payment Estimator
Estimate Your St. James's Village Payment
$9,957
Illustrative Monthly Payment
- Principal & Interest$8,782

- HOA$200
- PMI$0
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
How should you compare buying with renting?
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Purchase worksheet
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Rental worksheet
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
Use scenarios rather than a promised break-even date
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
Which HOA charges apply to this address?
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Recurring charges
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Closing and special charges
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Rules and access
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
How Easy Is Getting Around from St. James's Village?
I-580 and Mt. Rose Highway are the primary arteries from the South Reno mountains, connecting St. James's Village to Downtown, the airport, and the TRI Center. Residents drive — commutes average around 25 minutes to most Reno employment centers per U.S. Census ACS data — far shorter than the Bay Area averages most relocators leave behind.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in St. James's Village?
Most St. James's Village purchases close in 30 to 60 days. Cash offers — common at this $1M–$5M+ price point — can close in 10-21 days. Jumbo financed purchases typically run 45-60 days, as limited guard-gated comps slow the appraiser. Title on large-acreage parcels with well or septic can add a week.
Quick Answer
What credit score do you need to buy in St. James's Village?
Jumbo financing is standard for St. James's Village purchases above $832,750 — most lenders require a 700+ credit score and 20% down, with 12-24 months of cash reserves. A few portfolio lenders will go to 680 with stronger reserves. Scores above 760 typically get the best jumbo rate tier, which on a $1.65M purchase at 7% saves roughly $500-$700/month versus a 700 score. Get pre-approved by a lender experienced in Northern Nevada jumbo and estate financing before touring.
St. James's Village FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do St. James's Village Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in St. James's Village?
St. James's Village homes start around $1M and run to $5M and above for custom mountain estates, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89511. The median list price across this ZIP runs near $1,275,000 per NREG’s analysis of NNRMLS data; St. James's Village sits well above that as a guard-gated luxury enclave.
Is St. James's Village a gated community?
Yes. St. James's Village is gated around the clock with a posted daytime guard, offering a high level of privacy and security. Unlike open-access foothill enclaves such as Saddlehorn, entry is controlled, and private roads, patrols, and a guarded gatehouse are core to the community's appeal for luxury buyers.
What makes St. James's Village different from other South Reno communities?
St. James's Village spans roughly 1,600 acres surrounded by the Toiyabe National Forest, with about 800 acres preserved as permanent open space and only around 500 homesites on one-to-four-acre parcels. That forest setting, 24/7 gating, and private clubhouse separate it from production master plans like Damonte Ranch or South Meadows.
How large are the lots in St. James's Village?
Homesites in St. James's Village typically range from one to four acres across the roughly 1,600-acre community, with about 800 acres held as permanent open space. These are among the largest residential parcels in South Reno, giving custom estates true forest privacy and room for guest houses, pools, and equestrian uses.
What are the HOA fees in St. James's Village?
HOA dues in St. James's Village typically run $200–$500 per month, funding the staffed gate, patrols, private roads, clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and trail maintenance. Confirm the exact dues, transfer fees, and any special-assessment balance with the seller during escrow, since amenity-heavy guard-gated communities carry richer budgets.
Who developed St. James's Village?
St. James's Village was developed beginning in the 1990s as a custom-lot community, with homes built by multiple custom builders rather than a single production tract. That is why the roughly 500 homesites across neighborhoods like Bennington, Edgewood, Ridge Crest, Timberlake Court, and The Woods span such a wide range of architectural styles and sizes.
What schools serve St. James's Village?
St. James's Village is served by the Washoe County School District, with assignments depending on the address. South Reno homes commonly zone toward strong campuses including Galena High School (rated 9/10 on GreatSchools) and Marce Herz Middle School (9/10). Confirm current zoning for a specific address before purchasing.
How far is St. James's Village from Downtown Reno?
St. James's Village is roughly 25 minutes from Downtown Reno via I-580 and Mt. Rose Highway, and about 25 minutes from Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Mt. Rose Ski Resort is around 20 minutes away via NV-431, and Lake Tahoe at Incline Village is reachable in roughly 45 minutes.
What amenities does St. James's Village offer?
St. James's Village offers a private clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, and equestrian and hiking trails for residents. The community sits against the Toiyabe National Forest and Mount Rose Wilderness, with roughly 800 acres of preserved open space woven through the homesites for direct access to forest recreation.
What are property taxes like in St. James's Village?
Property taxes in St. James's Village fall under Washoe County's low-rate structure. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of market value, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 once the owner claims it (homes that are not owner-occupied get a cap of up to 8%). On a $2M estate the annual bill typically pencils to $10,000–$14,000 per Washoe County Assessor data, with no state income tax.
How competitive is the St. James's Village real estate market?
Custom estates in St. James's Village move at a deliberate pace — well-priced homes in the $1M–$2M range typically go pending in 70 to 90 days per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89511, while estates above $3M can take three to six months as the qualified buyer pool narrows. Inventory is tight, with rarely more than 6–10 active listings at any time.
What types of homes are in St. James's Village?
St. James's Village is almost entirely custom and semi-custom single-family estates on one-to-four-acre forested lots. Architectural styles span mountain-modern, traditional estate, and timber-and-stone lodge designs. Most homes were built from the 1990s onward, with a steady stream of recent custom rebuilds adding contemporary finishes and energy systems to the large parcels.
Is St. James's Village a good investment?
South Reno foothill and mountain communities have historically outperformed the broader Reno market on appreciation, supported by constrained custom-lot supply and steady California in-migration per Nevada State Demographer data. ZIP 89511 posted a median YoY gain near 2.8% through 2026 per NNRMLS. With only about 500 homesites and no room to expand inside the forest, St. James's Village resists oversupply — pair that with zero state income tax and the 3% tax cap.
How does St. James's Village compare to Montreux and ArrowCreek?
All three are gated South Reno luxury communities. Montreux is guard-gated around a Jack Nicklaus golf course with $1.2M–$5M+ estates. ArrowCreek is gated with two golf courses and $800K–$3M homes. St. James's Village is the most forested and least golf-centric — a guard-gated, national-forest-wrapped enclave of one-to-four-acre estates from $1M to $5M+, built for buyers who want seclusion over a clubhouse-and-course lifestyle.
What should I know before buying in St. James's Village?
Before buying in St. James's Village, budget for a thorough inspection covering custom construction, well and septic where applicable, site drainage, HVAC sized for mountain elevations, and defensible-space and wildfire-mitigation requirements common in the South Reno hills. Confirm HOA dues and amenity budgets in escrow. Most transactions close through Nevada escrow companies in 30–60 days. Work with an agent who tracks the guard-gated tier weekly — median ZIP prices near $1,275,000 understate this enclave.
What is the minimum down payment to buy a home in St. James's Village?
Nearly every St. James's Village purchase is a jumbo transaction — homes priced above $832,750 in 2026 exceed the Washoe County conforming limit and require jumbo financing, which typically wants 20% down and a 700+ credit score. On a $2M estate that is $400,000 down. Cash purchases are common at this tier. Budget for 2–3% in closing costs on top of the down payment.
How does buying a custom estate in St. James's Village differ from a production community?
Custom estates demand deeper diligence: inspections covering non-standard construction, well and septic systems, unique site drainage, and custom mechanicals. There is no model-row comparables shortcut — each home is priced on its own lot, acreage, views, and finishes. An agent who has closed in the guard-gated tier and tracks luxury inventory daily is essential; production-home experience does not transfer.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me sell a home in St. James's Village?
Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group lists and sells across all South Reno luxury communities, including St. James's Village, Montreux, ArrowCreek, and Galena Forest. Our agents prepare a custom comparative market analysis using NNRMLS closed data for estates in ZIP 89511, and we have the buyer network to reach qualified luxury purchasers quickly.

What Else Do People Ask About St. James's Village?
Beyond the core questions above, these are the eight queries St. James's Village buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered directly, with specifics sourced to U.S. Census, NREG’s analysis of NNRMLS data, NNRMLS data, and Washoe County records.
Is St. James's Village a good neighborhood?
Yes — St. James's Village is one of South Reno's most prestigious guard-gated communities, with one-to-four-acre estate lots, Mount Rose views, a national-forest setting, top Washoe County school zoning, and 24/7 security. It consistently draws California relocators and Reno executives seeking forested seclusion and privacy.
What ZIP code is St. James's Village in?
St. James's Village is in ZIP code 89511, which covers the South Reno mountain and foothill corridor including Montreux, ArrowCreek, and Galena Forest. ZIP 89511 carries one of the highest median list prices of any Reno ZIP per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data.
Are there new homes for sale in St. James's Village?
Occasionally — St. James's Village still has some custom homesites available for buyers who want to build a new estate, alongside resale homes. Multiple custom builders work in the community. Buyers wanting move-in-ready new construction at lower price points should look at Damonte Ranch or South Meadows.
What is the neighborhood like in St. James's Village at night?
Quiet, dark, and secure — the gated entry and remote forest setting mean almost no through-traffic, and minimal street lighting preserves the mountain-night-sky experience. Behind the gate, the atmosphere is peaceful and private, with the only nighttime activity being residents and patrols.
How do I search for homes in St. James's Village?
Use our live NNRMLS search filtered to ZIP 89511 or contact our Reno team at (775) 277-2120. With only 6-10 active listings at any time behind a guarded gate, working with an agent who tracks new entries daily and can arrange appointment-only showings is the most effective strategy.
Does St. James's Village have a community pool?
Yes — St. James's Village includes a private clubhouse with a swimming pool and fitness center for residents, along with equestrian and hiking trails. This sets it apart from open-access foothill enclaves that focus on natural open space rather than resort-style amenities.
What are the roads like in St. James's Village in winter?
The mountain elevation means St. James's Village receives more snow than the Reno valley floor, and the community sits notably higher than valley addresses. Private roads are maintained by the HOA; most residents run all-wheel-drive or snow-capable tires from November through April. Plan for true mountain winter conditions on the access route.
Is St. James's Village close to shopping?
Summit Reno on Mt. Rose Highway is roughly 15 minutes away, with Whole Foods, Costco, Target, and a full range of dining and retail. The South Reno retail corridor along McCarran Boulevard is within about 20 minutes, and Downtown Reno dining and the Riverwalk are about 25 minutes via I-580.
