Relocating to Elko (Spring Creek: apartments, rental, new house)

[Iren_CA]

Hi folks,
My family can possibly to relocate to Elko, NV. I've found on this forum many valuable information, but for some questions I could not find any answers; so, would you please navigate me across this town.
1. I could not find anywhere on Internet about houses for rent in Elko, either apartments, or rooms.
Most of the the apartments do not allowed pets and we have a dog (German Shepherd) and that "little fellow" is very protective towards his family. Question of the day #1: Where can I search for possible rental houses?
2. We are planning to buy house there. Question of the day #2: What area is safe in Elko? Where should I stay focused on my search?
Also, I see some available houses with acreage and some of them, in general, are up to 10,000 sf.
What people tend to buy there - with some land or not?
3. Is it hard to sell house there? Data says that the average length on the market is about 130+ days.
If so, what houses harder to sell? Pricey or with small lot?
I noticed that brand new houses ( with 2,95 acres) at Hamilton Trail are significantly cheaper than up North, like in the area of Khory Lane, Puccinelly street and so forth.
I did noticed, that Khory-Puccinelly are located closer to the city and Hamilton area is far. Also, I noticed that the major stores are located in the Central -North part of the Elko.
So, question of the day #3 - why south is cheaper than north?
4. Braemar construction company builds houses in Elko. Are new houses more expansive there like let's say, buying a new car or they competitive along with pre-owned houses?


I hope, I haven't overwhelmed you with a lot of questions. Will be appreciated with any information.

I was offered work in Elko and came here to find out if there was any info on, same thing, renting with a pet.

whatever happened, did you move there?

Hi Jackie,
Yes, we moved to this area in April of this year, 2018. At that time, the only house available with pets was in Spring Creek, so we decided to reside there. Later on we saw houses in Elko, but it was somewhat late for us - we moved in.
After browsing around the neighborhood, I've found a huge park with lake and creek (where my dog loves to swim :-). The view of Ruby Mountains is spectacular in Spring Creek.
So far, we became more familiar with local area and currently looking for house to buy here, in Spring Creek.

In regards of rental properties with pets, we have found some apartments available in Elko, but they did not have secured backyard and solid divider between units. Since we have very protective German Shepherd, we did not feel safe for our "potential neighbors" and rented a house with secured backyard.
If you have any questions, Jackie, I would be glad to provide information to my best knowledge.
