    "Very safe. Cost of living is extremely high though. Tahoe is only 20 miles away and surrounded by beautiful mountains. "

    "Marvelously relaxed neighborhood immersed in natural beauty, shaded by towering Jeffery Pines, but conveniently close to a major shopping center and the interstate freeway system."

    "Galena Forest has community, caring and neighbors who go the extra mile! I have lived, worked and raised our family in Galena Forest for the last 12 years. Kids get together on Holidays, to trick-or-treat via tailgating, there is an annual July 4 parade. Mountain Biking across the street in Galena County Park everyday and, especially on September for the Annual "Bloody Thorn", which raises money for local non-profits. If you are looking for a family centered neighborhood close to skiing and year-round outdoor opportunities, then Galena Forest is perfect."

    "I have lived in this area for 11 years, and raised a family, worked in local schools and been involved in the community. This is like Incline Village, but it costs less and has more amenities, like shopping and entertainment. Winters are a little easier on this side of the mountain. Great neighborly, friendly area with lots to do outside your own backdoor."

    "Tranquility in the Sierra Mountains. At an altitude of 6,200 feet, Galena Forest Estates is typically 7 - 10 degrees cooler than the Reno valley. Surrounded by towering pines and the sounds of nature, this neighborhood has its own year-round creek hiking trails, and plenty of room to breathe. 7 miles to the Mount Rose ski lodge, 7.5 miles to The Summit shopping mall and restaurants, 5 miles to grocery store and small shopping center. Directly adjacent to the Galena State Park with miles of hiking trails among protected nature of the grand Sierra mountains."

    "Simply a tranquil & friendly place to live, surrounded by hiking trails and state park land. Feels like living in the country, but only 7 miles to Summit Shopping Center, 7 miles to Mt. Rose Ski Resort, 20 minutes to the airport."

    "This neighborhood has all the beauty of a forested mountain retreat with very light vehicular traffic. A public use hiking trail follows Galena Creek as it weaves through the neighborhood. In spite of gentle seclusion, this area is only 7 miles to the ski slopes, 16 miles to Reno/Tahoe International Airport, and 18 miles to Lake Tahoe. At just over 6,000 feet elevation and shaded by giant fir trees, this area stays approximately 10 degrees cooler than the Reno valley below, making air conditioning unnecessary."
