Fernley, Nevada

Fernley is located 40 miles east of the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area. It is also the starting point of highway 50 which is known as the loneliest road in America. The city incorporated in 2001; prior to that it was a census-designated place. Fernley, established in 1904, developed primarily as an agricultural and ranching community in proximity to Reno. Home values in Fernley are 25 to 30 percent less than comparable homes in Reno. The city has elementary and middle schools and one public high school.

Set in the Eastern foothills of the Virginia Mountain Range, Fernley has spectacular mountain views. Hiking, camping and water recreational areas are within a short drive from Fernley. Fernley sits in the middle of BLM land encompassing over 85% of the land in Nevada so there are ample outdoor areas to explore such as Pyramid Lake and Lahontan Lake.

Fernley is also in the middle of one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. The creation of the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC), a massive 107,000-acre park that encompasses a 30,000 acre industrial complex for industrial and manufacturing uses, has brought many new people to the area. The TRIC is most notably known as the location of the new Tesla Gigafactory.
