Home / Communities / Reno
Washoe County
Guiding you home across Midtown bungalows, Old Southwest classics, and the newer streets of South Reno.
Reno is not one market. The Riverwalk and Powning District hold century-old houses and downtown condos. Midtown is the city's character corridor, with 1930s to 1960s bungalows off South Virginia. North of downtown, the University District and the Wells and Sutro corridors mix family homes with longtime rentals. Out west and south, Somersett, Caughlin Ranch, and Damonte Ranch are a different conversation entirely: planned streets, HOA living, and buyers who compare every listing to the newest model.
Johanna Summersett works all of those pockets as a full service real estate salesperson with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Drakulich Realty, not as a one-speed investor. If you are buying, we help you read the block, the commute, and the house, not just the photos. If you are selling, we price against the right comps for that slice of Reno, prepare the home for the buyers who actually shop there, and keep the process on your terms.
Neighborhoods
For buyers
A Midtown cottage, a Caughlin Ranch two-story, and a South Reno new build can sit ten miles apart and still need completely different offers. We walk neighborhoods with you, flag what inspectors and HOAs actually care about, and keep you from stretching for the wrong house because the listing looked finished. Whether you want walkable Midtown, the tree streets of Old Southwest, or more room in Damonte Ranch, the search is built around how you live, not a generic Reno zip code.
For sellers
Reno buyers are picky in different ways by neighborhood. Midtown shoppers often want the remodel already done. South Reno buyers compare you to builder inventory. Downtown condos come with HOA questions. We set the price to the pocket you are actually in, tell you honestly what preparation will pay for itself, and market to the people already looking there. You get a real market analysis and a plan, not an algorithm's guess.
We work the whole city: Midtown and Old Southwest, downtown and the Riverwalk, the University District, Somersett, Caughlin Ranch, Damonte Ranch, and South Reno. The right strategy depends on which of those you are in, and we treat them as separate markets.
Start with how you want to live, not with a list of listings. Commute, schools, walkability, and whether you want a planned community or an older street will narrow Reno faster than a price filter. Tell us your timeline and we will map two or three areas that actually fit, then tour with a plan.
