Carson City Homes for Sale
Carson City is a beautiful and welcoming city just outside of Lake Tahoe home to family-friendly neighborhoods, top rated schools and excellent amenities. With a combination of neighborhood parks, shops, restaurants, and amenities, Carson City makes an excellent place to call home but, don't take my word for it, let's hear what other folks are saying about living in Carson City.
"An excellent community near any outdoor adventure you can image all four seasons of the year. A community that holds doors for you, remembers your name and is still a little classic. Small town with large personality and traditions."
"Carson City, overall, is a quaint "small" big city. It is the capital of Nevada, and has many hidden features waiting to be explored. Some of the best features within the city limits of Carson City, is the beautiful wildlife. There are not too many capital cities with active wildlife roaming about freely. Another aspect of this sweet place is the entertainment industry. Carson City has renewed its options for restaurants, music, theatres, and the arts." - Niche.com
Carson City History
Carson City community was founded in 1858 and was named after the famous frontiersman Christopher "kit" Carson. Following the discovery of gold and silver on nearby Comstock load in 1859 Carson city became a thriving commercial center. Shortly thereafter Carson city was selected as the territorial capital in 1861. With it's area of 146 square miles it could advertise itself as one of the largest capitals in America. Today, as the site of the Nevada gaming commission, and a variety of state department headquarters and federal agencies, the small city is economically thriving as the power center of Nevada.
As the capital of Nevada, Carson City is home to about 59,000 residents making it the sixth largest city in the state. The city's highest population is located in Eagle Valley, about 30 miles south of Reno.
