Sun Valley, Nevada has a population of 19,299 according to the 2010 U.S. Census. It's a northern suburb of Reno nestled up against the western border edge of California. It's a quiet and convenient little town, and the folks here prefer it to the bustle of Reno. It's also an easy drive to the nearby airport, and you can coast right into California on I-395 anytime you like!

Moving to Sun Valley

First things first: Sun Valley is located in the desert. This means that the days will be hot and the nights will be cold. A lot of people think that's great. But if you like balmy afternoons and equally balmy evenings, you're probably better off looking for rental houses in sunny California rather than here. However, if you have a penchant for cowboy hats and old westerns, and like the aesthetics and feel of desert life, come on down to Sun Valley! You can find property rentals here for a steal compared to the prices in expensive Cali, and there's a good selection of two-bedroom apartments for rent as well as studio apartments for rent.

What You'll Need

A cowboy hat, for starters. How else will you keep your head cool in the thick summer heat? Once you've got that covered, you'll also want to bring along all the necessary paperwork when you go to meet landlords. You'll probably need your credit history, references, letter of employment, bank statements and, of course, your checkbook. Nothing shows your commitment to a new apartment like slapping down a deposit right there on the spot.
