If you’ve been shopping for a new home in South Reno, you probably already know that finding a detached, new-construction home in the 89511 ZIP code for under $650,000 can be a challenge.

But there is still an option worth checking out.Located along Arrowcreek Parkway, The Courtyards at Arrowcreek Parkway by Tim Lewis Communities offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in South Reno: a brand-new single-family home at a price point below $650,000.

A Different Kind of New Construction

The Courtyards at Arrowcreek Parkway is designed around a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle. Rather than large homes on expansive lots, these homes offer a more efficient footprint while still providing the benefits many buyers want from new construction.

The community includes 124 homesites, with residences ranging from approximately 1,512 to 1,806 square feet. Current floor plans offer three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a two-car garage.

  • First-time buyers looking for new construction
  • Buyers who don't need a large home
  • Empty nesters looking to simplify
  • Professionals who travel
  • Buyers who want a lock-and-leave property
  • Anyone who values newer finishes and lower maintenance
