"Simple neighborhood - the world is different nowadays so it’s not super neighborly. Not a bad place to live."

"Great neighborhood. Highly underrated! Safe, quiet, lovely family homes, 15 minute drive into downtown but groceries, etc are all right here. Great trail access and amazing mountain views. The bad press about the area seems to be old stories from 20 years ago or downtown dwellers with sour grapes."

"Highly underrated family neighborhood with beautiful single family homes, mature trees, safe walkable neighborhoods, mountain views in all directions during the day and quiet starry nights. Great access to parks for kids and dogs to play and trails to hike or take your HOV. Good highway access into downtown but all the basics are right here already."

"There are many families and children. Keep in mind Stead Blvd is a busy highway and parents should always be with children "

"Great neighborhood but definitely need a car to get around unless you don’t mind taking bus which also not a bad way to get around."

"be careful with the vehicles, both children and adults, whether it's leaving toys in the street or watching out crossing over the road or playing in the street. this area also has a problem with 18-20 year old groups that smash windows"

"I love the north valleys, they feel safe and homey. They are close enough to town you can get there soon but not too close that you feel like you’re in a big city. Traffic can get a little hectic in winter but other than that, it’s fantastic"

"Location is low crime but close enough to Reno takes about 15 minutes to get to most places. But we have most everything here including Walmart fast food and most everything we had go into town for."

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been attending this school all year and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. The staff is incredible here. The principle and even the assistant principals are amazing. Everyone cares about these kids so much. They go above and beyond their job descriptions to make sure every child has everything they need to succeed and do well not just education wise but regarding life skills. My son has had a very hard time adjusting to a move to a new school and a new baby sister on top of a couple other things. They didn’t isolate him, they have worked with him and still continue to do so. When most often if there’s a troubled kid, it’s the opposite that happens. The support from the staff in terms of mental health awareness is outstanding. You would be lucky to have your child attend this school. The teachers truly love what they do and the kids couldn’t possibly have better people in their corner.Parent Review2y ago8 Reviews - Silver Lake Elementary School
