Bella Vista Ranch: A Complete Guide to Luxury Living in South Reno

If you’re searching for a modern, family-friendly community in South Reno with top amenities, scenic views, and convenient access to parks and great schools, Bella Vista Ranch deserves a closer look. In this blog, I will highlight some of the unique features of this community located in Reno's South Meadows.

Welcome to Bella Vista Ranch

Bella Vista Ranch is made up of four distinct micro-communities:  Mason Ridge, Diamond Crest, Sierra Creek, and the exclusive gated enclave of Sorrento Trail. While each area has its own personality, they all share a cohesive, upscale feel that’s become synonymous with this part of South Reno.

Most homes in this community were built by Toll Brothers between 2018 and 2023, offering contemporary architecture, thoughtful floor plans, and high-quality finishes that today’s buyers love.
