Question 1

Can I run a short-term rental at Creekside West in Incline Village?

Accepted Answer

STR at Creekside West requires Washoe County STR permitting and compliance with the HOA minimum lease requirements — but the HOA minimum lease term is not confirmed in the source documentation. Contact Incline Property Management (IPM) at jenny@ipm-tahoe.com to request the full CC&Rs and confirm the minimum lease term before making an offer. Note: the source lists (777) 832-0284 as the IPM phone number, but (777) is not a standard Nevada area code — verify this number independently before calling. Do not underwrite STR income projections until both the county permit availability and the HOA minimum lease term are confirmed. The Multi-family (MF) zoning under the Washoe County Incline Village Commercial/Residential Plan Area is a different designation than the TA_IVR zoning used by most Incline Village residential condos — verify STR permit eligibility under this specific zoning with Washoe County directly.

Question 2

What makes Creekside West stand out in the Incline Village condo market?

Accepted Answer

Creekside West has three standout attributes. First, the tightest HOA fee range in this profile set: $500–$537/month with minimal budget-year variation — predictable ownership costs. Second, a clean TRPA BMP Certified status — no buyer remediation risk, which is not universal across Incline Village complexes. Third, exceptional walkability: Ridgeline Park at 0.3 mi, the Rec Center and Post Office at 0.4 mi, T's Mesquite at 0.5 mi, and Raley's at 0.6 mi are all walkable from 837 Southwood Blvd. The 40% primary / 60% secondary occupancy ratio is more primary-resident-weighted than most Incline Village condo complexes — this reflects a community with a meaningful year-round resident base, which typically supports stronger HOA governance. The tradeoffs: STR minimum lease term is unconfirmed; the 1966 vintage with stucco exterior and flat/low-pitch roof requires careful reserve review; and ski proximity at 2.5 mi is the weakest in this profile set.

Question 3

What should I know about the Creekside West HOA before making an offer?

Accepted Answer

Creekside West is managed by Incline Property Management (IPM) — contact jenny@ipm-tahoe.com. The source lists (777) 832-0284 as the phone number, but (777) is not a standard Nevada area code (standard is 775) — verify this number independently before calling. The HOA runs $500–$537/month — the tightest range in this profile set, meaning dues are highly predictable. The HOA covers exterior structure maintenance, grounds maintenance and landscaping, snow removal, common area property insurance, water, sewer, and trash. Cable TV, internet, natural gas, and interior insurance are owner-paid separately. Two construction flags require reserve scrutiny: (1) stucco exterior on a 1966 mountain building — stucco is uncommon in Incline Village and requires inspection for moisture intrusion and freeze-thaw cracking; (2) flat/low-pitch composition shingle roof — more maintenance-intensive than pitched roofs at this age. Contact IPM to request the reserve study, CC&Rs, and last two years of board minutes before closing.

Question 4

What floor plans are available at Creekside West and what is the price range?

Accepted Answer

Creekside West offers a single floor plan across all 24 units: 3BD/2–2.5BA at approximately 1,332 sq ft across two levels. The price range is $625,000–$849,000 based on recent transaction history. The two-level layout features vaulted/high ceilings in primary upper areas and an open-concept floor plan. Private rear patios (covered or uncovered) are on the lower level. Upper balconies are available in select units only — not universal. Heating is natural gas wall furnace with zone heating; there is no cooling system (natural cross-ventilation and ceiling fans). The $625K–$849K range reflects variation across bath configuration (2.0 vs. 2.5BA), unit position, interior remodel level, and whether the unit has an upper balcony. Verify whether the specific unit has an upper balcony before making an offer.

Question 5

What type of buyer is Creekside West best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Creekside West fits two buyer profiles particularly well. Primary residents and year-round owners: the 40% primary occupancy ratio, walkable central location (Rec Center 0.4 mi, Raley's 0.6 mi), predictable $500–$537/month HOA, and professional IPM management make it one of the most livable central complexes in this profile set. The creek/greenbelt setting and Ridgeline Park at 0.3 mi add quality-of-life appeal for full-time residents. Seasonal second-home buyers who prioritize walkability and low HOA predictability over ski proximity: the central location, clean BMP status, and tight HOA range are strong attributes for a low-maintenance second home. Where Creekside West requires extra diligence: STR minimum lease term is unconfirmed and must be verified before closing; the 1966 stucco exterior and flat/low-pitch roof require careful reserve review; the (777) area code phone number for IPM should be verified independently; and ski proximity at 2.5 mi is the weakest in this profile set for ski-focused buyers.
