Spanish Springs is just north of Reno. It is a suburb of the city of Sparks. You pass through it on the way to Pyramid Lake. It's close to moon rocks for off roading. There is the Red Hawk Golf course out there and a sports complex with several soccer/football fields and baseball diamonds. There is a fair bit of new home construction. The farther north you go, there are more homes with larger lots and horse properties. One thing to consider if moving to Spanish Springs is that the main roadway out there is Pyramid Hwy which has stop lights ( and Vista Blvd ) There is no freeway out that way. Still the commute time is relatively short depending on what you're used to. There are restaurants and shopping. Desert landscape, not wooded. Hope this helps :)
Washoe Lake itself is small and shallow and the water is not pristine like Lake Tahoe. The beaches are sandy, but like Pyramid Lake, there are no trees for shade. Washoe Lake is good for Jet Skiis and for Wind Water Sports as it can get windy often in Washoe Valley. Washoe Valley neighborhood wise - yes can be dusty because of the wind and it is desert with lots of dry dirt and sage brush. There are different parts of Washoe Valley - some sections are mobile homes mostly the North end. More towards the South end or on the West side of old Hwy 395 (Nearer to the base of the Mountains) there are homes priced in the Millions. There is a small section of the valley that has convenience stores, gas etc. I have no idea about fish there. I don't think there is a lot as I have not seen many if any fisherman when I have been there. Pyramid Lake is the place to fish. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the infos.
I enjoyed your video but had to laugh when you talked about getting rain. It’s literally one of the driest places in the country.
Try as you might to describe the breath-taking surroundings of Reno, nothing can match the IRL experience of being there.
The AQI is fantastic compared to CA.
Except when all the smoke blows over from CA fires.
How about Spanish springs?

What is the washoe lake area like? Is the lake a dustbowl in the summer? Do they restock fish every year? What is it like to live in that area?

Reno’s biggest opportunity: Capitalizing on the California exodus.
