California Ave

Midtown sits just south of downtown Reno, with a compact mix of older homes, storefronts and converted commercial spaces along South Virginia Street. The high-desert climate brings hot, dry summers, cold winters and plenty of clear days. Independent shops, galleries, restaurants and coffee spots give the district a lively street-level feel, while murals and historic buildings add character. Nearby outdoor options include the Truckee River paths and Virginia Lake Park, with open space for walks and recreation. Midtown Reno’s median rent is $1,595 per month, with a typical range of $999 to $5,985, based on 25 active listings. Walking and biking work well for local errands, and public buses and access to downtown extend the options for getting around; driving connects to major roads across the city.
