The allure of small-town America is alive and well in the Carson Valley area. In the Carson Valley area, we still revel in the fact that we only have 5 stop lights between the three towns of Genoa, Gardnerville and Minden. Residents here have a strong sense of community with several functions throughout the year. We proudly enjoy the Minden Park Concert Series, Heritage Park Movies in the Park Series, Wine Walks, Carson Valley Days annual parade (where Highway 395 is shut down for several hours where floats throw small children candies), and others.

Come see what the Carson Valley area is all about. We have 300 sunny days a year on average, specatular Sierra Nevada mountain views, incredible recreational activities - hiking, biking, fishing, snowskiing, boating, to name a few - and no state income tax.
