Livability gathers information on a community's educational system, amenities available to the residents, transportation system, economical factors and much more to create its Top 100 Places to Live list each year. After all their number crunching and research, it turns out that Reno makes Livability's 2015 Top 100 Places to Live list. In fact, Reno was the only city in Nevada to make the Top 100 in 2015.
Livability recognizes that there is so much more to Reno than casinos. Make no mistake, the casinos do create a draw for the tourism industry. They have managed to mature enough to attract big name talent in comedy, music and other entertainment. In the winter, the Reno community provides easy access to fantastic skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The culinary scene in Reno has also matured from all-you-can-eat buffets warming under the heat lamps to dozens of fine dining establishments throughout the city.
As you are probably well aware of, Reno provides an excellent backdrop for great outdoor activities. There is an abundance of golf courses and farmers markets throughout the city limits. The City is also working on expanding its biking trails and lanes to accommodate the growing bicycle culture in the community. It is not unusual to see people commuting to work on a bicycle during the week and leisurely riding around town on the weekends here.
Another reason Reno makes Livability's 2015 Top 100 Places to Live list is our educational system. The University of Nevada, Reno attracts students from all over the country. The younger crowd brings with it a diversity that enhances just about any community. And with so many companies coming into the Reno area and setting down roots, the economy continues to grow.
I am very happy to report that Reno makes Livability's 2015 Top 100 Places to Live list. This is the second year in a row that Livability has recognized what Reno has to offer. It is nice to see other people realize our fair city's full potential.
