Housing

From historical to contemporary, it’s all here!
 
Carson City offers a wide-ranging diversity of homes. More than half of the 22,500+ housing units are single-family homes, 60 percent of which are owner-occupied. Multi-family units account for 29 percent of the total, and manufactured housing makes up the remaining 14 percent. Generally, less than five percent of housing in Carson City is vacant. Almost 80 percent of the city’s current housing units have been constructed since 1970.
 
The average sales price of new homes varies depending on location and style. Generally, you can expect to pay about $375,000 for a 2,000 square foot home.  Because of the lack of buildable land, higher density homes, townhouses and condos are just beginning to emerge. The city has just completed special senior citizen apartments available on a first come, first serve basis. There are several senior housing complexes including an over 55 single family home community. While there are several apartment complexes, the vacancy rate is low and it may be easier to rent a home.
