# [South Reno Homes Under $500K: Autumn Wood Neighborhood Tour](https://blog.livinginsouthreno.com/south-reno-homes-under-500k-autumn-wood-neighborhood-tour)

 Written by [Ken Angst REALTOR®, P.E. Nv Lic S.168655](https://blog.livinginsouthreno.com/author/ken-angst-realtor-haute-properties-nv) | Jul 28, 2026, 6:45:00 PM

When people think about South Reno's 89511 ZIP code, they often picture luxury homes, gated communities, and million-dollar properties. While those neighborhoods certainly exist, there are still a handful of opportunities for buyers searching for a home under $500,000.

One community worth considering is** Autumn**** Wood**, a small D.R. Horton townhome neighborhood located just off Zolezzi Lane. With only 47 residences, homes in this community don't become available very often, making it a neighborhood many buyers may not even know exists.

## A Hidden Opportunity in South Reno

Autumn Wood offers buyers an opportunity to own a home in one of South Reno's most desirable areas while enjoying a low-maintenance lifestyle. The neighborhood features HOA-maintained common areas and provides convenient access to shopping, restaurants, parks, schools, and major commuting routes.

Its location near many top schools, as well as outdoor recreation, including[ Wolf Run Golf Club,](https://www.wolfrungolfclub.com/) one of the area's most popular golf courses. This community truly is close to everything South Reno has to offer.

## Townhome Financing vs. Condo Financing

Many buyers assume townhomes and condominiums are financed the same way, but that isn't always the case. In our video tour, Senior Loan Officer **Elena Boland** explains why Autumn Wood may offer financing advantages compared to some condominium communities and what buyers should understand before making an offer.

A fun fact: townhomes are easier to finance when compared to condos. It's important for buyers to understand the differences each option offers when searching for a new home.
