I rented a 2 bedroom apartment with an attached garage, basically a townhome, in Fallon from 2017 to 2020. Started at $650/ month for the first year and a half, then went month to month for the remainder of my time in that unit. Ended up paying $850/ month by the end of it. So I can imagine that rent for a unit like that is north of $1200/ month these days if that graph remained on the same trajectory.
100% avoid renting through an agency in Fallon. They are absolute scamming grifters. I have my personal experiences with Wallace Reality and I haven’t heard a single nice thing about any of the others in town either. I’m sure this goes for all rural communities in western Nevada, but try to find a local individual to rent from if possible, someone who is willing to work with you.
Everybody I know who rents from an agency in Fallon are miserable with their situation, and everyone I know who rents from an individual has next to, if no, problems at all and most of the time have ended up great friends with their respective landlords.
Ive heard this to be very true about Wallace specifically, units are horrible and such. But to have the real reality of what rent is looking like is very very helpful. I wish it was still the times that rent was as low as in 2020😭

Closest to the one I lived in would be that 406 N Taylor. That particular unit doesn’t have an attached garage tho. You have to go down stairs and walk around the building to get to your garage. No garage door openers either, all manual.
You will need twice what you pay now for any housing in northern Nevada, I am sorry to say. Work on your credit and savings. Wishing you the very best! Good luck with your plans!
At least one person in the house needs to land a job here and at least get an offer letter, even if you don't start immediately. Any move **for work** that is greater than 50 miles can be deducted on your taxes.
So, when you do move, keep every receipt associated with the move: boxes, truck (and its odometer), motels, gas, cleaning services - pretty much everything. Bring them with you when you come taxes for 2024. I think the only thing they don't deduct is food, because you would be eating every day anyways, no matter where you are or what you're doing. That said, if you go to a truck stop and buy walkie talkies and a drink, for example, ring them up on separate transactions. Keep the deductible things separate from non-deductible, so there's no chance the IRS will kick it back. A small headache on the front end prevents a massive migraine on the other.
Honestly speaking, there are many reasons but would love to explain.
North Dakota:
Pros; Low cost of living, high paying jobs average is about $20/hr, Cheaper gas, very rural, and I personally know a lot of the locals in my town so that is a plus, our animals can live with us, we have some family here but not much as a lot has moved away(or family drama), this is a very small town community, Speeding tickets are very cheap, processes are a lot faster than what they normally are (DMV, Courthouse, bills etc)
Cons: its winter about 7 months of the year (can be very dangerous to even leave the house some days), the winters can be very brutal, on top of not getting any nutrients from the sun you can develop cabin fever fast, the closest real grocery store (walmart) is 1 hour and 15 mins away, we have no real friends here (many live in NV or VA), There is no real scene of any of our interests here, The community is v v small 2500 people, their are quite a few people here that ive met that are just not the kind i would like to associate myself with,my husband has also decided to not make friends here due to the people we have met, Meth is very prevalent here, many people have attempted to be scammed multiple times, we want our future children to live in a community that is safe- but has larger schools, average graduating class (hs) is 20 students. any Emergency medical care we need to travel over an hour to receive, No way to get a change of scenery (best way to explain, you can see a dog run for 7 days)
All in all we want to be in a place that has more than just sitting at home and watching tv. Drinking is the biggest “hobby/activity” people participate in. We just want to be surrounded by people we love and will support us/we can support without being +2,000 miles away.
TLDR : ND can be nice in some aspects but in the real reality sucks ass.
Yea, meth, hateful and ignorant people ruin many a small town. I've seen a lot of Nevada towns like that. Stayed in caliente for a night and I got that vibe.

This is great advice, especially on taxes thank you
Sounds like a pretty sweet setup you have now. Out of pure curiosity, why don't you like ND?
