It's no wonder that it's consistently touted as one of the country's most vibrant small cities.

Carson City Attractions
As an Old West boom town, Carson City has its share of historic curiosities and unique architecture. The Governor's Mansion, Old Carson City Post Office and the St. Charles Hotel all attract thousands of history buffs on an annual basis. Carson City also has two major casinos within its city limits.

What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Carson City

Nice and quiet while still being close to necessities. Schools, groceries, fuel and restaurants within short distance.

There is a few nice bars which I tend to go to and several nice shopping centers and Costco. The schools here are good the education system as a whole is a joke though

I love the human bean that's right by my house. The people are super friendly. There's a big park less than a mile away.

There's a park called mills park near by the grocery store is also nearby called smiths and we live at a no through street so it's not an exiting street just safer for kids to play
