Just retired from the Army and moving to Mesquite in 3 months.

Carson City is 35 minutes from Reno and a much better retirement place. Smaller (58000) and the State Capital. The Legislature only meets every two years. Houses are cheaper than Reno and so is gasoline because we don't have the extra tax that Reno has...and you don't need to smog your vehicles in Carson City. Plus we are half and hour closer to Lake Tahoe.

And the people in Carson City are generally nicer than the people in Reno and Tahoe! Beautiful city.

This video mentions low sales tax in Reno. Nevada state sales tax starts at over 6%. Counties and cities can each add additional sales tax. Reno has a total sales tax rate of roughly 8-1/2%. The neighboring city of Sparks is around 8-1/4%. Sales tax in Fernley is 7.1% Average rent in Reno is over $1,600 per month, including both houses in crowded subdivisions and small apartments in large complexes. The video also mentioned warm weather. Today, December 29, 2022, Reno has had several inches of snow as well as high wind warnings through tomorrow night. Fernley and Elko can have that same type of weather during the winter, including occasional temps below zero. Las Vegas and Henderson routinely have temps above 100 Fahrenheit in the summer. Temps in the teens and twenties is not warm, it's cold. Temps above 100 is not warm, it's hot. I hope everyone does a lot of research on any location prior to making a move, especially during retirement.

Exactly those low numbers are not true high car insurance rates beating the hole nation especially in Las Vegas Henderson is the same city paradise exareta. Heavy traffic high prices at any grocery store. High energy bills that make it California like prices. So you are not saving shit. The high cost of living has turned Nevada into a Lego land small apartment building that are outrageously overpriced 1600 one bedroom. But worst is the skyrocketing crime murder robbery and heavy traffic with people who love to drink and drive. It’s a desert and even with all this rain they will eventually hit difficult times if they run out of drinking water. It’s not affordable to move there like the good o’l days the cheap is long gone…..

l live in Pahrump, in a 55+er. ovation at mountain falls. I do like the community I live in, very much. the house is very affordable. the town itself - needs updating. with cineplex for starters. but Summerlin, which has everything is an hour away. taxes, I don't know what they are.

Not too many houses for sale in Fernley or Elko unless you're trying to buy land

Reno Nevada used to have very cheap rent. Now the rent and house prices are going through the roof. Still cheaper than California though and a lot of people here come from California. They NEVER tell people how ❄️ cold Reno gets. It's like 26 degrees right now and that's pretty normal. At least we don't get ❄️ snow like Tahoe.

Hi - Very nice and helpful video! Thank you!

I wish they were more honest about the weather in Northern Nevada. If your coming from some place like Southern California the winter ❄️ is quite a shock to the system.

* “Reno the biggest little city in the world” *

Elko is high elevation, great outdoor sports. cold all the time

Reno is, and I quote, “the biggest little city in the world“. I don’t remember what they said on here, but it wasn’t that.

I guess if your retired you don't care whether they have an income tax. But if you do have to work, know you won't make enough to live on as the wages suck with min wage about $9hr.

Income tax is massive for retirees and a huge consideration for relocation. Just sayin

Did you do your research before making this video? Have you ever visited this state other than Vegas?

Indeed. Very shallow bit of information here.

In my opinion what is missing is the average price of homes and wages in these cities compared to the rest of the state and nation. I believe that a sample of taxes should also be included. With this information a person could start researching to determine whether or not moving to the Silver State would be beneficial.

Why are they NEVER honest about the weather in Reno. It gets so cold in the winter. Not good for older people with arthritis. And a lot of people have arthritis!

If you like lots of people, lots and lots of traffic, homeless now everywhere, and high crime, and of course every sin a person could get, then Vegas is perfect, Ive been here for the winters for 10 years now, and looking for a much smallier area.

WOW IS GOOD

Right to Work! I'll never live there again. (And I love the desert) My opinion!

You have the elko hot springs wrong, it's too hot and fenced off, several people have died in it.

Gas tax in Reno is high! Looking at living on the outskirts!! Price of rent is outrageous

Considering each of these cities the median home price is over $425k how is this good? Unless you’re in the upper class, then forget it.

@ABC This is because Americans live beyond their means and do not save. We are an instant gratification society both with our attention span and finances. Did you know over 6/10 Americans cannot come up with $1,000 if needed.? That is absolutely pathettic.

My brother lived in Las Vegas for years. He called it the city of vampires.Absolutely hated the place.

The best place to retire in Navada is Arizona.

Moved to Thailand. 1 bedroom apartment with kitchen, pool, gym, steam room and security $300/month. Electric $90/month. Water $7/month. Health insurance $180/month. Dozen eggs $1.50. Meals start at $1.50. Cellular unlimited data $7/month. If you have a drinking problem don’t come to Thailand, I’m surrounded by 200plus bars in this city with pretty girls calling for us to stop and drink… and many times they offer more than just drinks😳.
