I always thought Yerington was nice BUT it's just from driving through, never stayed there or spent any time there.
Also Pioche, has good summer weather, not so nice in winter though, historic little town close to Eagle Valley. It is the county seat, has a DMV and softball fields with a nice park. Only about 1000 people and has a nice wild west history to it. Ely, always liked it there much larger than Pioche but still a small town, bad winters though. Cave Lake is close along with Commins (sp) Lake. Has fast food and more development than Pioche. West Wendover, I'm a sucker for WW2 history and this town has it. The Wendover Airfield is the remote airfield from Con Air the movie, it is where they hangered the Enola Gay in preparation for its mission and the hanger is still there. They have casinos and quite a few artist perform there during the year. But I still like where I bought my property but it's not for most people. In fact only 50 or so think like me. Can't beat $7500 for 5 acres though..... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

My friend has a place in the Elko area .Really nice in the summer.
He says he is to old to deal with snow so lives in Vegas during the winter. |

I would move to Idaho.
I'm sure Wendover has the same problem as Elko with theft. Elko seems like it is the theft capital of the world and vandalism is bad. We have had a couple of unsolved murders. Drugs are rampant did I mention that we have a huge population turn over do to the mines and most of the miners don't give a shit about nothing. Housing is not cheap and if you find property cheap there is a reason for that. Elko is like the old West with all the vices including an occasional Gunfight. I would move to Idaho. |

Having just become incensed with the state supreme court's screwing us on the Margin tax repeal effort I'm looking ay Wyoming!
Nevada has become too Kalifornia'ized over the last couple of decades. 
Recreational dope up next, then the rest of the Commiefornia debacle. Now in the top third for taxes, need permission/registration on off-road vehicle (Despite the state NOT defending it's ownership & control of the lands), Governor and most legislature are limp-wristed uni-party hacks, selling out to any special interest that promises a (Delayed, special deal) tax increase to be spent buying more votes from the "Gimmee'dat free schidt" vermin. I could go on but there's so little point. 
Nevada is now ruled by how much tax you pay or generate. Unless you have enough retirement to be comfortable without having to compete with illegals for any work at all you might want to look elsewhere. Yah, I'm PISSED! |

I love sparks but it sounds like it might not be what you want. I haven't lived anywhere else in this state. I do wish we had a little more open area close but if that really mattered to me Carson or Fallon would probably be my choice if I could find decent work.
Didn't realize Elko was that bad. Couldn't handle Vegas. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile 75 people out of 619,000 so 0.01% of the population is a victim of murder. I'd say that's safe. I'd probably pick something like Carson City or Dayton since I already drive 30 minutes of freeway to works it is. At least there I wouldn't have to worry about smog. Plus I'm close enough to Reno for the airport or family and Tahoe is still close. |

Minden, Gardnerville are nice. Still have a bit of that "small town" feel, but everything you need is close by. I live in Carson, but drive back and forth thru there a couple times a week for work. I wish I would have looked down there a bit more when I was house hunting.

Minden or gardnerville, thanks. not on our radar but will look in those areas. Work for either of us is not an issue. Curious, why Fallon ? For us (ok for me) the big issue being disabled. Having the ability to access land outside any city limits to shoot. Humping a few guns (for me) is a chore. Running out X hundred yards, not really happening unless i can drive. I see mention of the off road laws / permits. |

Fallon appeals to me for several reasons Lower cost housing small town while still having most of what you need locally easy access to BLM land I also know several people that live there and the local private shooting range/club is good people that I get along with and put on decent matches. I do prefer Sparks/Reno because of the social aspect but I would be fine either place. |

If you don't want to hump any guns or targets I wouldn't look at Fallon it's sandy in most places. Fernley might not be a bad choice. When I lived there I would go back behind Hazen and there was a home made bench on a small rise and I would shoot out into a bowl out to 600. The problem with Fernley is land is expensive now thanks to Tesla.
I would still move to Idaho. |

You can go out to dry lake beds and shoot out to 2k yards if you want to and its hard pan unless it just rained. Theres tons of awesome places to live in NN. Fallon, winnemucca, ely for examples. |

We lived outside Sparks in an area called Spanish springs up pyramid highway. We absolutely loved it. We were in the sparks city limits but across the street was county area. all the food, minor medical and shopping you need is within 5 minutes max and major medical (hospitals) were 15 minutes maybe. Washoe county range was 20 minutes up the road. We both loved it there and miss it every day. Good Luck on your search. If you want more info on that area let me know.

I feel like you were just asking about neighborhoods a year ago It was much longer than that. I bought my old house in 09'. Wife and I both found jobs too good to pass up about a year ago. We live up in Washington state now (west side across the sound from seattle). shooting environment isn't nearly as nice up here. Most ranges are membership only, not many competitions to be found where I live and no good gun stores close by. On the other hand it cost me $68 to register my truck this year ($500~ in NV) and ccw showed up 3 days after I did fingerprints. Just like anywhere there are good and bad. Weather has been amazing though. |

I now have 4 motorcycles and two cars
In Alaska it was 120$ for two years regardless of the vehicle. |
