MARKET OVERVIEW What will you find in Carson City? A vibrant state capital located between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Great Basin Desert, just a short half hour drive away from the Jewel of the Sierra, Lake Tahoe. Carson City has been Nevada’s state capital since its inception into the union in 1864 and is an exciting mix of history and new industry. Carson City sits conveniently close to the activity of both Lake Tahoe and Reno, so residents take advantage of year-round activities such as skiing, boating, hiking, shows and casino nightlife. Carson City is home to Nevada’s Governor’s Mansion, State Legislature and State Museum. Residents enjoy a lively local arts scene, multiple world-class golf courses, and captivating historical exhibits such as the Nevada Railroad Museum, and the country’s largest National Historic Landmark, Virginia City, whose main street still retains the look of an 1850s mining town.
THREE AMAZING FACTS!

Carson City is the home to the Click Bond factory, a 10,000 square foot facility that manufactures fastening technology and holds over 30 national and international patents.
