Desert Lakes

Neighborhood Overview

A Quiet Fernley Setting

Desert Lakes & Desert Springs
Desert Lakes is a golf-course community on the southeast side of Fernley, centered around Desert Lakes Drive, Farm District Road, and the local 18-hole golf course. The neighborhood includes a mix of single-family homes, with some properties located directly along the golf course offering fairway, open-space, or mountain views. Other homes are located on interior neighborhood streets while remaining close to the course.
Much of the Desert Lakes community is part of the Desert Lakes Homeowners Association. Buyers should review the current HOA dues, CC&Rs, transfer fees, and other association documents for any property they are considering, since fees and requirements can change.
Adjacent to the golf-course community is the Desert Springs area, which offers another option for buyers interested in this part of Fernley. Desert Springs includes homes outside the Desert Lakes HOA, making it worth considering for buyers who prefer a property without an HOA. HOA and common-interest-community status should always be verified for the specific property before purchase.
The area is also convenient to Farm District Road and Highway 50A, providing access to central Fernley, Interstate 80, Fallon, and other parts of Northern Nevada. Nearby schools include East Valley Elementary School and Silverland Middle School, with Fernley High School also serving the Fernley area. School assignments and attendance boundaries can change, so buyers should verify the assigned schools for a specific address with the Lyon County School District.
With golf-course-adjacent homes, interior residential streets, and nearby non-HOA options in Desert Springs, this part of Fernley offers several different property types and ownership considerations within the same general area.
