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.

Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to The Villas at Lakeridge?
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 planningRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to The Villas at Lakeridge 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Cost of Ownership
What Will The Villas at Lakeridge 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

$3,178
Illustrative Monthly Payment
- Principal & Interest$2,528
- Property Tax$300
- Insurance$150
- 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.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a townhome in The Villas at Lakeridge?
Most Villas at Lakeridge townhome purchases close in 30–45 days; cash offers close in 7–14 days. Financed purchases need conventional underwriting — most units fall within conforming limits — so expect 30–40 days from accepted offer to funding. The lender must also approve the HOA as warrantable; confirm this early, since some established associations require extra review.
Quick Answer
What credit score do you need to buy a Villas at Lakeridge townhome?
Most Villas at Lakeridge townhomes fall within conforming loan limits, so conventional financing typically requires a 620+ credit score, with the best rates at 740+. Down payments range from 3% for some first-time-buyer programs to 20% to avoid private mortgage insurance. Condo and townhome buyers should confirm the HOA is warrantable — lenders review the association's reserves, owner-occupancy ratio, and insurance before approving. Cash buyers face no credit requirement but should still budget 1–2% of the purchase price for closing costs.
The Villas at Lakeridge FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do The Villas at Lakeridge Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in The Villas at Lakeridge?
The Villas at Lakeridge townhomes price from the $350,000s for smaller one- and two-bedroom units to the $600,000s for larger golf-adjacent plans, per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data for ZIP 89509. The median list price runs near $594,500 per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS — an attainable entry below the Caughlin Ranch and Old Southwest Reno tiers above $600,000.
What makes The Villas at Lakeridge different from other Southwest Reno neighborhoods?
The Villas at Lakeridge is a low-maintenance townhome and condo enclave set directly on the LakeRidge Golf Course — a Robert Trent Jones design open since 1969. Most Southwest Reno neighborhoods are single-family homes that require full yard upkeep; The Villas instead offers HOA-covered exteriors, mature parklike greenbelts, water features, and golf-course adjacency just four and a half miles from downtown Reno, at a price point that single-family listings nearby cannot match.
What types of properties are in The Villas at Lakeridge?
The Villas at Lakeridge is primarily a townhome and condo community of contemporary one- and two-story units ranging from roughly 1,160 to 2,100 square feet, with one to three bedrooms. Many feature wood-burning fireplaces in the great room, formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, large private decks overlooking greenbelts, attached garages, and walk-in closets. All fall under HOA management covering building exteriors, common-area landscaping, and the shared amenities.
Is The Villas at Lakeridge a gated community?
No — The Villas at Lakeridge is not a guard-gated community. It is an open, established townhome neighborhood in Southwest Reno, accessible without staffed entry gates. Security comes through HOA governance, mature low-traffic streets, and the naturally quiet character of the greenbelt setting next to the golf course. Buyers who want staffed gates should look at nearby gated options such as ArrowCreek or Montreux.
What are HOA fees like in The Villas at Lakeridge?
HOA dues at The Villas at Lakeridge generally run $350–$550 per month depending on unit size and the specific association, and they typically cover exterior building maintenance, the landscaped greenbelts and water features, walking trails, the clubhouse, tennis courts, and common-area insurance. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for current HOA dues on any specific listing — dues, reserve fund health, and any pending special assessments should all be verified during escrow.
What amenities does The Villas at Lakeridge offer?
Residents of The Villas at Lakeridge enjoy a clubhouse, community tennis courts, and walking trails set among mature, landscaped greenbelts and water features, with the LakeRidge Golf Course right next door. Individual townhomes commonly add wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, large private decks overlooking the greenbelts, and attached garages — combining low-maintenance ownership with a resort-like daily setting in Southwest Reno.
What schools serve The Villas at Lakeridge?
The Villas at Lakeridge is in the Washoe County School District, which serves all of Southwest Reno. Hunter Lake Elementary, Swope Middle, and Reno High are among the schools commonly assigned to this part of ZIP 89509, though boundaries shift. Confirm current elementary, middle, and high school assignments by exact street address with WCSD or the Washoe County Assessor before purchasing, since the district occasionally adjusts attendance zones.
How far is The Villas at Lakeridge from downtown Reno?
The Villas at Lakeridge sits about four and a half miles — roughly ten minutes — from downtown Reno via Plumas Street and US-395. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about twelve minutes via US-395 and I-580, South Virginia Street shopping is about five minutes, and Lake Tahoe is roughly forty-five minutes via NV-431 (the Mount Rose Highway). That central Southwest Reno position is a core reason the neighborhood holds long-term appeal.
What are property taxes like in The Villas at Lakeridge?
Property taxes at The Villas at Lakeridge 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 Villas townhome, the annual tax bill typically runs approximately $2,375–$3,325 per Washoe County Assessor data. Nevada also levies no state income tax, a meaningful advantage for retirees and relocating buyers carrying retirement or investment income.
Is The Villas at Lakeridge good for downsizers?
Yes — The Villas at Lakeridge is a long-standing favorite for downsizers. Single-level and two-story townhomes with HOA-covered exterior maintenance, mature parklike grounds, attached garages, and direct adjacency to the LakeRidge Golf Course let owners trade yard work for lock-and-leave convenience. The central Southwest Reno location keeps downtown, the airport, shopping, and Lake Tahoe within easy reach, which appeals strongly to empty-nesters and active retirees.
How competitive is The Villas at Lakeridge real estate market?
The Villas at Lakeridge holds a relatively small number of townhome and condo units, so well-priced listings can move quickly. Per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89509, attainable golf-course townhomes in the $350K–$550K band typically go under contract in roughly 49 days, while larger golf-adjacent floor plans with the best greenbelt views may take longer. When a Villas unit is priced correctly for its size and view, buyer competition from downsizers and golfers can accelerate the timeline.
What is the investment case for The Villas at Lakeridge townhomes?
The Villas at Lakeridge pairs an irreplaceable golf-course setting with attainable townhome pricing in a supply-constrained, mature Southwest Reno pocket. The established 1978 community cannot be replicated, the LakeRidge Golf Course anchors long-run desirability, and HOA-covered maintenance supports rental and lock-and-leave demand. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 add favorable carrying math. Buyers planning a 5+ year hold benefit from steady appreciation and downsizer-driven resale demand.
How does The Villas at Lakeridge compare to other Southwest Reno communities?
The Villas at Lakeridge is the attainable golf-course townhome tier of Southwest Reno — typically $350K–$650K, versus single-family Caughlin Ranch foothill homes from roughly $600K and Old Southwest Reno character homes from about $500K. Somersett, a Northwest Reno golf master plan, offers newer construction with more amenities. The Villas wins on established greenbelt setting, direct golf adjacency, and HOA-covered low-maintenance ownership at a lower price floor than the surrounding single-family market.
What should I budget for monthly costs in The Villas at Lakeridge?
At a $594,500 Villas at Lakeridge purchase with 20% down at 7% interest, principal and interest runs approximately $2,530 per month. Add Washoe County property tax of roughly $235–$280 per month, HOA dues of $350–$550 per month, and homeowners insurance. Total monthly carrying costs for a financed purchase typically run $3,300–$3,700 before accounting for Nevada's zero state income tax savings, which can offset a meaningful share for relocating buyers with retirement or investment income.
What do Villas at Lakeridge buyers need to know about the HOA?
Before writing an offer on any Villas at Lakeridge townhome, 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. Roof replacement, exterior repaint, and greenbelt/water-feature upkeep are common reserve line items in an established 1978 community — a reserve fund below 70% funded is a yellow flag. Confirm whether the HOA carries master hazard insurance on the buildings or whether each owner must carry individual dwelling coverage.
What is the minimum down payment to buy in The Villas at Lakeridge?
Most Villas at Lakeridge townhomes price between $350K and $650K, well within conforming loan territory under the 2026 limit of $766,550. Conventional financing typically requires 3–5% down for primary residences, though 20% down avoids private mortgage insurance; on a $594,500 purchase that means $95,000 down to skip PMI, or roughly $16,625 at 3.5%. Condo and townhome lenders may require the HOA to be warrantable — confirm that early. Budget an additional 1–2% for closing costs. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 to confirm current programs for Southwest Reno townhomes.
Is The Villas at Lakeridge a good fit for golfers?
The Villas at Lakeridge is one of the strongest golf-lifestyle propositions in Southwest Reno — the community sits directly on the LakeRidge Golf Course, a Robert Trent Jones design open since 1969 and a perennial Best of Reno pick. Townhomes back to mature greenbelts and water features, HOA-covered exteriors mean lock-and-leave convenience for traveling golfers, and the $350K–$650K range is attainable versus single-family golf homes nearby. The critical step: verify the specific unit's greenbelt or fairway positioning and HOA dues before buying.

Is The Villas at Lakeridge a good investment?
The Villas at Lakeridge offers an attainable entry into established Southwest Reno golf-course living — a structurally constrained, mature community. The fixed unit count supports long-run value, HOA-covered maintenance draws downsizer and rental demand, and Nevada's zero state income tax plus the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 create favorable ownership math. Buyers planning 5+ year holds have historically seen steady appreciation in ZIP 89509.
What is The Villas at Lakeridge in Reno?
The Villas at Lakeridge is an established townhome and condo community in Southwest Reno, Nevada, set among mature greenbelts and water features directly on the LakeRidge Golf Course. First built in 1978, it offers contemporary one- and two-story units from roughly 1,160 to 2,100 square feet, HOA-covered exterior maintenance, a clubhouse, and tennis courts — an attainable entry into one of Reno's most desirable golf-course settings at $350K–$650K.
Can I rent out a unit in The Villas at Lakeridge?
Renting in The Villas at Lakeridge is subject to two layers of rules: (1) the specific association CC&Rs, which may cap the number of rentals or set minimum lease terms; and (2) City of Reno short-term rental ordinances if you intend nightly rentals. Long-term rentals are generally more straightforward and draw steady downsizer and professional demand. Verify both before purchasing as an investment, and request the HOA rental policy during escrow.
What is the LakeRidge Golf Course?
The LakeRidge Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones-designed 18-hole course in Southwest Reno, open since 1969 and a perennial Best of Reno pick — known for its dramatic island green and Sierra foothill setting. The Villas at Lakeridge sits directly adjacent to the course, giving residents a sought-after golf-course setting at a townhome price point well below single-family golf homes nearby.
How close is The Villas at Lakeridge to downtown Reno?
The Villas at Lakeridge is about four and a half miles — roughly ten minutes — from downtown Reno via Plumas Street and US-395. That central Southwest Reno position also puts the airport twelve minutes away, UNR fifteen minutes, and South Virginia Street shopping five minutes — one of the most conveniently located golf-course communities in the city.
What are the best units in The Villas at Lakeridge?
Larger three-bedroom townhomes with direct greenbelt or fairway views typically command premium pricing — these are the $520K–$650K floor plans of roughly 2,100 square feet. Smaller one- and two-bedroom units in the $350K–$450K range offer the most attainable entry. Single-level units are especially sought-after by downsizers, and floor plans with great-room fireplaces and large private decks tend to draw the strongest buyer interest.
Is Southwest Reno worth the premium over other Reno areas?
For buyers who want golf-course living, mature greenbelts, and a central location near downtown, Southwest Reno — including The Villas at Lakeridge — is uniquely positioned. The established setting and tree-lined character cannot be replicated by newer outlying construction. For buyers who don't prioritize the golf-and-greenbelt lifestyle, South Reno master-planned communities offer newer homes at comparable or slightly higher pricing.
What is the drive to Lake Tahoe from The Villas at Lakeridge?
NV-431 (the Mount Rose Highway) climbs from Southwest Reno to Mount Rose Ski Tahoe and the north shore of Lake Tahoe in about 45 minutes — a scenic Sierra Nevada route through forest and meadows. In winter, the road is subject to chain controls and occasional closures during heavy snow. AWD/4WD vehicles and chains are recommended for regular Tahoe trips; during severe storms, plan for delays or alternate routing via US-50 from Carson City.
