Sparks NV - Opportunity?

[Jason James]

Not really sure where to post this one... 

I may have an opportunity to go out to Sparks NV (near Reno)  for other business. If all goes well I may stay there for a while. My question is for anyone in the area. 

What is your general opinion of the area? 

Where are the best places to live?

How is the market pertaining to real estate investments? 

Have you been finding good deals there or is that area still tight with high unemployment? 

Any info would be great! 

Thanks
