Our Take
Fernley offers affordable housing and a low flood risk, but the walk score is near zero so you’ll need a car for most errands. The school system is decent and the cost of living is reasonable, yet dining, nightlife and transit options are sparse. If you’re okay with a small town and car dependence, it can be a solid choice.
