Virginia Lake Reno, NV

Unexpected beauty just outside the heart of Reno

Eclectic Lake Landscape

Named for the body of water at the center of the neighborhood, Virginia Lake is a Reno community with an emphasis on greenery and a variety of homes.

Virginia Lake is just over 10 minutes from the center of Reno, but it looks more like a community you’d find up north. Towering trees line the streets of the older developments, while newer residential offerings in the southwest corner of the neighborhood have planted hundreds of saplings that bring an upscale feel to the streets.

Outside of the colorful homes and modern apartments is a number of different restaurants and cafes along South Virginia St., the neighborhood’s eastern border. Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian, and more are all on offer, just steps away from a popular movie theater. For those who need an escape from “The Biggest Little City in the World,” the I-80 and I-580 will carry you to Carson City or Crystal Peak Park in just a few minutes.
