The median home in ZIP 89521 was built in 2007, and only about 9% of homes are older than 1980. Snow work here looks different from older Reno: newer streets, bigger driveways, and a lot of homeowners who would like their own sidewalk to be someone else's job. ## At a glance - ZIP 89521 median home built in 2007 - About 20.9 inches of snow a year at the airport station - About 30 minutes from our yard without traffic - Driveways, sidewalks, common areas and commercial lots ## Newer homes, bigger surfaces About 42,000 people live in ZIP 89521, with roughly 69% of homes owner-occupied and a median build year of 2007 (ACS 2020-2024). That tends to mean wide driveways, three-car aprons and long sidewalk frontages, which are slow to shovel by hand and well suited to a plow or skid steer. ## What the snow numbers say Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 4.6 miles from the ZIP's center point at 4,410 feet, has a 1991-2020 snowfall normal of about 20.9 inches (NOAA). ZIP 89521 sits at about 4,492 feet, close to the airport's elevation, so that gauge is a fair reference for planning. Storm to storm the amounts vary widely. ## Common areas and commercial lots Where the street ends and the shared space begins is often the hard part of snow service. We clear driveways, sidewalks and entrances for homes, and we plow, push and haul for retail stores, offices and medical sites along the southern corridor. Tell the office who is responsible for each stretch when you call so nothing is missed. ## How far is South Reno from the yard? The yard is about 25 miles and 30 minutes away without traffic, a free-flow estimate, not a promise. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) or request a free estimate before the season starts. A custom flat rate is available to ongoing customers. ## Roads, curbs and the edge of your lot Newer subdivisions have curbs, rolled gutters and storm drains close to the property line. Plowing too close can push snow onto a neighbor or across a sidewalk, and piling it on a drain can cause icing later. We keep piles back from drains and driveways, and we haul when a pile has no safe place to go. Ask about the specifics of your street when you call. Because the neighborhoods here are newer, many have shared amenities: mailbox clusters, trail connections and community entrances. Those are rarely part of a single owner's driveway, so work out in advance who is responsible. We can quote a shared space on its own, or alongside your drive. ### Sources - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Reno Tahoe Intl Airport (USW00023185)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, ZCTA5 89521 (South Reno)](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap roads, free-flow drive time from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 30 min 25.0 miles - **Elevation:** 4,492 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 9% median year built 2007 Sources: drive time from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East, free-flow, OSRM / Census Geocoder; elevation, USGS 3DEP; hardiness zone, USDA 2023 map; housing figures, U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates; wildfire risk, USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (April 2026 data).
