High desert living… Better than you thought!
There is no two ways about it, Northeastern Nevada is a snapshot of small town America. With the region’s largest city coming in at just over 20,000 people, it’s no surprise that our communities maintain a more traditional feel than what many may be used to. With that said, there are many benefits to living within this region.

Once settled, you will quickly realize that these are close knit-communities where your neighbors wave and have a genuine concern for your well-being. There are multiple options for education with smaller schools and a favorable student to teacher ratio. Further, if you are tired of crowds, crime, high costs of living, and mind numbing traffic – Northeastern Nevada could be your escape!
