Thinking about a golf course home that also works as a long-term investment? If Fieldcreek and the Wolf Run corridor are on your list, you’re not alone. You want clear numbers, risk checks, and a simple plan before you move. This guide gives you a focused look at home types, price trends, rental potential, taxes, HOAs, and due diligence so you can buy with confidence. Let’s dive in.
Fieldcreek sits in southwest Reno with convenient access to I-580 and the Mount Rose corridor. The neighborhood is known for custom homes, spacious lots, and wide views. The 18-hole Wolf Run Golf Club opened in 1998 and anchors the area’s lifestyle with practice facilities and on-site dining.
Inside Fieldcreek, The Fairways is a gated enclave that lines parts of the course and offers estate-style parcels. Learn more about the community layout and HOA contacts on the Fairways at Fieldcreek Ranch site.
Most homes here are custom-built single-family properties on roughly half-acre to 1-acre lots, with many in the 2,000 to 5,000 plus square foot range. Construction dates often run from the 1990s through the 2000s with select infill and newer builds. The Fairways features larger estate lots and a small number of custom homes on expansive parcels.
For pricing context, the 89511 zip code, which includes Fieldcreek, posted a 12-month median sold price near $1,199,000 in June 2025, up about 9 percent year over year, according to Rocket’s 89511 market report. That places Fieldcreek in a higher-value band relative to the broader Reno median. Actual prices vary widely based on golf frontage, view corridors, lot size, and home condition.
High asset values in 89511 mean gross rental yields are typically lower than in more affordable submarkets. Single-family rents vary by size and finish, with many properties falling from the mid $2,000s to $5,000 plus per month, based on local rental data sources and recent leases referenced in the research. Use current local comps to set realistic rent and vacancy assumptions.
This area often suits investors who value long-term appreciation, lifestyle use, or hybrid strategies over pure cash flow. If you plan to hold, focus on lot quality, floor plan flexibility, and any unique features that support resale.
