The Morrill Land Grant Act in 1862 funded the creation of agricultural and engineering colleges in America. Shortly after the act passed, the University of Nevada, Reno was founded in 1874. Former university president Joseph N. Crowley doubled the University’s size during his time as president from 1978 to 2000. Thus more housing was needed around the University.

West University of North Reno surrounds the University from Valley Road to the east encompassing everything north of Interstate 80 inside the North McCarran Blvd. loop. The neighborhood is a short distance from UNR, where you can enjoy a basketball game at Lawlor Stadium or cheer on Wolfpack football inside Mackay Stadium.

Archie’s is a favorite restaurant open 24 hours with a full bar upstairs and casual restaurant downstairs. Food is available on both levels where you’ll find sports fans watching their teams year-round. Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and Ike’s Sandwiches are more fast-casual options next door. 

Downtown Reno is only a five-minute drive from West University offering plenty more dining options. Take your pick from The Depot Craft Brewery, Campo, Liberty Food & Wine Exchange, Wild River Grille, Silver Peak Brewery, Our Bar, or Noble Pie Pizza Parlor. Catch the latest movie release at the Century Riverside Theater.

Canyon Center Shopping Center is at the intersection of North McCarran Boulevard and Mae Anne Avenue. This center is home to SaveMart, Flowing Tide Pub, Ijji 4 Korean Bar-B-Que, Chase Bank, Poke King, and Planet Fitness. Across the street, there’s a Walmart Supercenter, Doughboy’s Donuts, and Tacos el Rey. In Ridgeview Plaza, you can shop at Safeway, Ross, Kohl’s, then grab a bite at Wingstop, Chipotle, or L & L Hawaiian Barbecue.

Whitaker Park is west of UNR with tennis courts, playgrounds, and covered picnic areas. Rancho San Rafael Regional Park is one of the largest parks in the area and is home to the annual Great Reno Balloon Races. The races draw nearly 140,000 people every year for the three-day event. Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy the Off Leash Dog Park, hiking trails, playground, and the William D. May Arboretum and Museum. If you’re really adventurous, hike the hillside to the Nevada “N” north of the park overlooking the entire Reno valley. 

Idlewild Park is an awesome park along the Truckee River close to West University. Idlewild is complete with baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground, and the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway. You can enjoy the rose gardens or the community pool, all west of downtown. Don’t miss Food Truck Fridays at Idlewild during the spring and summer months.

West University covers an area large enough to make multiple school boundaries. Students living on the westside will go to Peavine, Towles, Grace Warner or Elmcrest Elementary School, Clayton Middle School and then McQueen High School or Reno High. Students on the eastern side will go through Lemelson Elementary School and Traner Middle School before entering Hug High School.
