Niche has named its 2025 Best Cities to Live in the U.S. The website also ranked the Silver State’s best communities.
Niche uses data from various sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, FBI, Centers for Disease Control and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine the best places to live in the United States.
Niche graded each place on 12 categories: public schools, housing, good for families, jobs, cost of living, outdoor activities, crime and safety, nightlife, diversity, weather, health and fitness, and commute.
Here’s a look at the best communities in Nevada and the nation.
What are the best communities in Northern Nevada?
- Incline Village
- Kingsbury
- Mogul
- South Lake Tahoe
- Reno
- Sparks
- Gardnerville
- Carson City
- Spanish Springs
- Minden
What are the best communities in Nevada overall?
- Incline Village
- Green Valley Ranch (a neighborhood in Henderson)
- Kingsbury
- MacDonald Ranch (a neighborhood in Henderson)
- Enterprise (suburb of Las Vegas)
- Summerlin
- Green Valley South (a neighborhood in Henderson)
- Anthem (a neighborhood in Henderson)

Is Reno a good place to live?
Niche gave Reno a “B” grade based on 12 categories. Reno received the highest ratings from Niche in the Weather and Outdoor Activities categories where the Biggest Little City earned A-plusses. The ratings in Diversity and Commute followed close behind (A’s) as well as Health and Fitness, and Nightlife (Reno earned A-minus in both categories).
The Biggest Little City received B’s in the Public Schools and Good for Families categories and a B-minus in Jobs. Reno’s lowest scores were in Housing, Cost of Living, and Crime. Reno received a C-minus in all these categories.
Is Incline Village a good place to live?
Niche rated Incline Village as the best place to live not only in the Reno area, but Nevada as well. Incline Village received A ratings in Public Schools, Good for Families, Health and Fitness, and Outdoor Activities, followed closely by an A-minus rating in Jobs. Incline received B-plusses in Nightlife, Weather, Diversity and Commute.
Similar to Reno, Incline’s lowest ratings were in Housing (C) and Cost of Living (C-minus).
A 7-year-old Nevada girl died after being struck by a falling boulder at a ski resort on Saturday, officials said.
Adelyn Grimes, of Reno, died after the incident at Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village, and the manner of death was ruled an accident, the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office said in a statement to NBC affiliate KCRA of Sacramento.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort said its staff extended its “heartfelt condolences” to the girl’s family.
Medical services were called at around 3:38 p.m., the ski patrol responded and provided first aid, the ski resort said in a statement Monday, adding that North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office staff also responded.
“Despite the emergency medical team’s best efforts, the child succumbed to their injuries,” the resort, which is northeast of the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, said.
In a statement, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating the death, described it as a tragic accident.
“There was no foul play involved and the Sheriff’s Office extends our deepest condolences to all involved,” it said.
The Nevada Senate Committee on Growth and Infrastructure will hear legislation at 3:30 p.m. Monday that would allow the installation of traffic cameras in areas prone to crashes.
Under current law, the government cannot use photographic, video or digital equipment to gather evidence to issue a traffic citation unless the equipment is a recording device worn by the officer or is installed within a facility of a law enforcement agency.
Senate Bill 415, sponsored by the Senate Committee on Growth and Infrastructure, seeks to allow a government agency to install automated traffic enforcement systems to enforce speeding laws in areas with a high rate of crashes and where traditional traffic enforcement methods have failed.
Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill, who has been a vocal supporter of installing red light traffic cameras, plans to testify in support of the bill today.
Previous attempts to install red light cameras in the state have failed over the years, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle taking issue with privacy, where the revenue would go, and the blame being placed on the owner of the vehicle.
Last week lawmakers heard Assembly Bill 402, which seeks to allow the installation of automated traffic enforcement systems in construction zones. Supporters of the bill highlighted safety concerns of construction workers, while opponents brought up concerns of privacy and surveillance, with one person calling it “Orwellian infrastructure.”

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – March 31, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) – Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce drilling of Hole MHB-32 (“MHB-32”) continues now surpassing a depth of 800 feet (243.8 meters). MHB-32 is the first hole of the 2025 four-hole diamond core drilling program (the “Core Program”) currently underway for the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper-Silver-Gold Deposit (“Majuba Hill”) in Pershing County, Nevada.
Figure 1: Azurite, malachite, chalcocite in core from MHB-32: 527 to 537 ft (160.6-163.6 m)
The primary objective of core hole MHB-32 is to expand known zones of copper mineralization and toward a new Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”).
Big Sky Exploration, LLC (“Big Sky”) of Eureka, Nevada, drilled MHB-32, and the hole is being quick-logged and tagged for sampling on-site by Giant Mining geologists (Figure 2).

The core samples from MHB-32 will be securely transported to Giant Mining’s secured warehouse facility in Elko, Nevada. At this location, the cores will undergo systematic sawing and detailed logging to document lithological characteristics, mineralization, and structural features. Following this, the processed samples will be sent to ALS Group USA, Corp. (“ALS Labs”) in Elko, Nevada. At ALS Labs, the samples will undergo rigorous analyses, including assays for copper, silver, gold, and other pertinent elements, to accurately assess the mineral content and support ongoing exploration efforts at Majuba Hill.
David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining, commented: “We are pleased with the steady progress of our drilling operations at Majuba Hill, a crucial step towards advancing the project toward a new NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. The scale and potential of this system continue to impress, and this phase of drilling is critical in unlocking further value for our shareholders. It’s also worth noting that copper has recently surpassed USD $5.25 per pound, Gold has surpassed $3,100 per ounce and Silver has surpassed $35 per ounce, the value proposition of our project grows significantly. This increase enhances the in-situ value of our mineralized rock year over year and reinforces the importance of advancing exploration at Majuba Hill, Nevada USA.”
As previously reported in the March 17, 2025 news release, the 2025 Core Program has been designed to follow up on high-grade copper mineralization intersected in breccias from the 2024 core holes MHB-30 (“MHB-30”) and MHB-31 (“MHB-31”) and extend the high-grade copper zones below the historic underground workings (Figure 3).
