UPDATE 6/30-06: NEW RENDERINGS
The Village at Idlewild is easily seen as you drive down Idlewild Drive across from the park, a significant number of the main structure's frames and bones are already up, and the massive circular entrance is taking shape as well. The Community Lodge truly looks like a cozy hang out, a place to drink some cocoa and gossip with neighbors on a snowy day. Almost makes me want Old Man Winter to come back. Well maybe not quite yet. Burr! Go check out their project, it's one of the only projects offering condos under $250,000.

This 216 unit luxury condominium community has unique Craftsman style architecture with a "village-like" streetscape connecting the condominiums to The Lodge in the Village center. Each upscale home ranges from 610 to 1,153 square feet, with five distinctive floorplans, featuring slab granite kitchen and bathroom counters, wood cabinets with a cherry finish, and stainless appliances. The central gathering place for the community is The Lodge, located at the heart of the community. A 5,022 square foot, resort-style social, fitness and swim center with a pool, spa, business center, and media room. The Lodge also provides a full service kitchen for group entertaining, and a dramatic two story stone fireplace and sitting area.

Visit their sales center at 1450 Idlewild Drive, seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and see the plans for their five different home models or Call (775) 324-2777

I bought at Village at Idlewild Park in March. I absolutely love it. I have a great view, the pool is nice, the ammenities are great. However, we just found out that Capstone has decided to rent out the currently unrealeased buildings rather than sell them. Obviously, most of us are pretty upset as our property value and chance of selling in the future just dropped dramatically. Buyers beware. If you buy in a condo complex and they arent selling as planned, you could be buying in a 50% or more rental community. As an additional slap in the face, as long as the developer owns 50% of the units, homeowners will always be the minority on the HOA board. Just a note of caution.........

What is even worse for the people who bought these condos with the intention of subletting them, is that they are in a bad area. I think it will be pretty difficult to rent them out at the prices the rental community is asking for because they are highly overpriced for rentals and in a rough neighborhood.

Rough neighborhood.... thats a bold statement? I used to live right across the street from Idlewild at Riverside and I think that the location is very desirable. It's quiet and there is a lit path along the river connecting the downtown. I used to walk it, by myself (at night), all the time! I never had a rough encounter with anyone. I run through the park daily and enjoy every minute of it. So as far as a "rough neighborhood" goes... are you sure you know where these are located? I am curious to know what makes it so rough?

This is NOT a rough area of town. In fact I have several friends, one of who is the Chief of the Regional Street Enforcement Team (or something like that)who is raising his kids just around the corner off Hunter Lake. There was a drug bust on Idlewild Drive not too long ago, but that's about it for 'roughness'. There's very little vandalism, very little crime, one of the better high schools and elementary schools in town are nearby, there's an amazingly beautiful park across the street, and it's half a mile or so from downtown. I never feel uncomfortable walking around that neighborhood.

I live at the village and I have got to tell you, this is a very nice place but hard to get into without looking a certain age. I was looked down on and not taken serious as being a resident. The sales ladies are not very approachable if your under 21 they are in fact very judgmental. However I found myself to into here and its very close to UNR, TMCC, my high school Reno High is right behind there. Whoever calls Idlewild a rough place has not been to a real ghetto. Not even Montello Street is that rough compared to some of the places I have been to I feel so safe its a gated community that closes at 6 and a beautiful place to run. you need to take that comment back there is no rough place in Reno just fancy slums like South Meadows.

Ownership of the Village has gone back to the bank. Deed in lieu. Sad, very sad.
