About Reno, Nevada
Reno, Nevada has been on a lot of people’s lists lately:
- #1 – Inc. Magazine: Best Places for Doing Business in America (2005)
- #2 – Chief Executive Magazine: Best States for doing Business (2005)
- #3 – Men’s Journal: Best Places to Live (2005)
- #9 – Sperling’s Ten Best Places To Live (2005)
- #1 – College Board survey ranked University of Nevada, Reno as most affordable public university in the US (2005)
It’s no wonder why employees at Alere’s corporate headquarters rank Reno high on their lists, too. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Reno is a rising star in the business world, and its potential is being noticed by America’s largest companies. Add Reno’s affordable quality of living (including no state income tax) to its growing business opportunities, and you have a place that everyone wants to call home.
Located at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Reno has four distinct seasons with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Temperatures range from winter lows in the 20's to summer highs in the 90's. Low humidity characterizes the area, making the cool days seem not so cold, and the warm days not so hot.
Reno is also an outdoor lover’s paradise. With stunning Lake Tahoe just minutes away, boating, hiking, fishing, swimming, and camping are always within your reach. And in winter, you’ll enjoy skiing on the largest concentration of ski resorts in America.
And while Reno has a small-town feel, it also has most of what a big city has to offer — museums, ballet, symphony, concerts, and community events. For once, one of the best things about where you work, is where you get to go home.
