Reno

The “Biggest Little City in the World” may just be one of the best places to live in Nevada in 2022.

The city of shining neon lights and casinos was essentially built with the gaming industry as its foundation. However, over the years it has become much more than that. If you are not into casinos, it will be easy to avoid the gaming scene altogether.

The city has 96 public schools, making it the second-largest school district in Nevada. There are private schools in the city too, so you can go to whichever one you prefer. For those going for higher education, the University of Nevada- Reno is a good choice.

Reno is definitely a tourist town, which benefits the locals too. It has opened up many jobs, not just in the hospitality or entertainment industries, but also in the technology and education sectors.

Many high-rated restaurants are offering delectable cuisines in Reno. Lounges and clubs, craft cocktails, local breweries, live music, and special events- you will find it all here.

In addition to the epic nightlife, there’s more that Reno has for its citizens. The city sits close to the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest so you have many activities to do. You can go skiing, fishing, hiking, camping, etc.

Luckily, Reno sits snugly among three water bodies; Lake Tahoe, Truckee River, and Pyramid Lake. Along with that, there are many parks and mountains you can visit. Snowboarding, ice skating, snowmobiling, hiking, rafting, biking, you can do it all here.

With top internet providers giving speeds up to 5000 Mbps (AT&T), and many spots such as Walden’s coffee bar offering free wifi, Reno can prove to be a good home for remote workers. Reno Collective, Beacon CoWork, and Pacific Workplace are some of the many coworking spaces in the city that digital nomads can make use of.

Summary

Though it is famous for its nightlife and plethora of entertainment channels, Nevada also makes for a good place to settle in. The cost of living, even in big cities, is reasonable. There are charming neighborhoods and plenty to do in the Nevadan cities.
