Carson City blends a walkable, historic downtown with galleries, farmers’ markets, local restaurants and craft breweries, plus easy access to miles of hiking, biking and riverfront trails—comfortable for multi-week stays and everyday living.
It’s a short drive to Reno’s casinos, nightlife and major medical centers (~30 miles) and to Lake Tahoe’s skiing, boating and hiking (~30–40 miles), so weekends offer big-city and alpine options.
