The scenic South Meadows area of Reno is where you will find Double Diamond Ranch and Damonte Ranch, true master-planned communites. For thousands of years, this beautiful area attracted wildlife from the spectacular Sierra Nevadas. Today, Double Diamond Ranch attracts those who seek a special kind of life featuring exceptional residences amid a magical natural backdrop. For outdoor enthusiasts, it truly doesn’t get any better than the Reno/Tahoe area. Double Diamond Ranch is about 30 minutes from Mt. Rose, one of many world-class ski resorts the Sierras have to offer. Lake Tahoe and Incline Village are only a short drive away, for winter getaways or summer fun. Quality schools within walking distance; a variety of living options; great parks for kids; and a wealth of convenient shopping complete the equation for Double Diamond and Damonte Ranch’s desirability for South Reno residents.

At Double Diamond Ranch, there’s everything necessary to live a meaningful life in today’s modern world. Over 26 miles of walking trails and respectfully preserved open wetlands confirm the community’s commitment to wide-open big country living. An exceptional array of new home choices can be found throughout the community. Many of Double Diamond’s new home neighborhoods are privately gated, featuring well-equipped recreational lifestyle centers. Business opportunities abound at two adjacent major business parks, including a state of the art 70-plus acre Reno Tahoe Tech Center. At Double Diamond Ranch, you’ll feel a world apart, yet close enough to enjoy Reno’s well-known entertainment, dining and shopping opportunities.

Double Diamond Homes range from the high $300’s to the $700’s and are a strongly recommended value. Double Diamond Ranch homes have historically appreciated consistently, although prices are leveling out and buyers have stronger power to choose the best home from a wide selection.

Double Diamond Ranch is located next to a large technology business park – South Meadows Business Park. The park is home to many large employers and growing every day. Reno’s 3rd full service hospital was completed in the business park to demonstrate the growth and high-tech needs of the area – Washoe Medical Center South Meadows.

Current Damonte Communities and New Home Builders:

We would highly recommend the assistance of a realtor — at no cost to you — when touring any of these communities to get full disclosure on the area and the full range of resale and new construction options.

Lennar Homes Derby Run Derby Run at nearby Curti Ranch with lower prices
Toll Brothers Heritage at Damonte Ranch From the low $400’s near Damonte Ranch High School and butting up near Sage Ridge Gun Club / foothills. Adults-only as Toll Brothers looks for a new angle to get inventory sold in Reno. Nevada is “one of their worst markets” mentioned in analyst briefings.
Toll Brothers Saddleridge at Damonte Ranch 3k-4.5k square feet from the upper $600k’s. The same as the development above but “Phase2”. Many resales from national speculation in Phase1 is available already built from realtors.
Toll Brothers Dorado attached homes Luxury attached homes from the upper $500k’s ranging up to 3.3k square feet. For $600k, you can get a lot more in Damonte Ranch unless you love sharing a wall with a neighbor. They’ll note it’s a garage wall.
DiLoreto Homes New Editions (wasn’t this a boy band in the 1990’s?) “Paired” (ie attached) homes from 1300 to 1900 square feet. A half price sale from Toll Brothers’s Dorado — these start at only $286k!
Reynen and Bardis “R&B” Remuda Collection A great value starting at only $350k and likely ready to deal. This development was started at the peak of the buying boom. 1,900 to 2,700 square feet starter homes or move up to Stagecoach below….
Reynen and Bardis “R&B” Stagecoach Collection Full disclosure – we live in and love one of these homes in West Reno. 2,600 – 3,800 square feet from $435k. Worth checking out but also very close to a dog kennel (Fisher’s Desert Kennels). These are a good value and a well built home. Many are single story.
KB Homes Ravenna at Monte Sereno Beautiful Italian name for these cookie cutter homes that seem to interest no-one. Cheaply built appearance but it gets you in Damonte Ranch. Watch the build quality closely. From the high $300k’s with 2k to 3k square feet in 5 floor plans. Sample homes for $390k and $420k for immediate move-in (ie the original buyer vamoosed.)
KB Homes Calabria at Monte Sereno Same deal as above – not sure what even makes these different from Ravenna. Twelve floor plans from 1800 to 3500 square feet from the mid $300k’s. Sample homes for $355k and $450k for immediate move-in (ie the original buyer walked).
