The Resort At Tanamera

Oct 7^th 2015. The property itself is beautiful and well-​kept the people are nice but generally on the older side and so it’s extremely conservative very few families and young people.
At their events generally the elderly show up early to eat to have a good time leave early and a small click of people which are socially heavy drinkers and obnoxious stay late and party they form their own clicks and it’s very hard to break into them.
If you are over 75 this property will be great for you if you’re a workaholic and don’t care this property will be great for you but it is extremely expensive for what you get. The amenities are great but the restrictions not.
Lots of people have dogs and don’t pick up their dog messes which is not fun but overall the staff is wonderful I enjoyed myself but was just priced out by to high rent

My mother rented a one bedroom place here for several months, before deciding she liked it enough to buy. She purchased a two bedroom/​two bath unit, pretty close to the pool and clubhouse, which is nice because she is definitely in the senior category. The place seems very well maintained, and as far as I can tell, people are very friendly. Lots of activities going on, and overall I am very pleased that my mom now resides in this community. I understand the complaints about the HOA, but would encourage anyone struggling with that to get organized, and influence some reasonable changes. My mother hasn’t been bothered by the restrictions, but I could see that some rules might be a bit over the top for a younger crowd, or serious dog lovers. Anyway… Very pleased that we found the place — convenient to shopping, doctors, and just about anything else she’d need.

After owning a condo in Tanamera for the past several years I am torn when I write this review, the grounds and amenities are fantastic. There is one problem with this complex, the HOA is unbearable. The board consists of folks who have nothing else to do but draft and pass unreasonable regulations in an attempt to run others lives, I guess this is what happens when you get to a certain age and have nothing else to do. Being 25 I am probably one of the youngest owners in the complex. The entire place feels like a rest home with old folk traveling around in golf carts and playing bridge in the lodge. Unfortunately these are the people who have the time to go to meetings and complain about nothing. In the two years after I moved in the HOA board passed many resolutions that negatively affect the value of my property such as the prohibition of hardwood or solid flooring and ridiculous restrictions on pets.
Never in my life have I seen an HOA attempt to regulate what one does in the privacy of their own home. There is a place for home owners associations in the world, many of them do a fantastic job keeping the neighborhood neat and clean, noise level down, and demand that members keep their property correctly maintained. Home owners associations were designed to protect property value; in the case of Tanamera, they believe they are responsible to control everything you do and make decisions that negatively affect home values.
If you are considering of buying or renting property in Tanamera, I would encourage you to think long and hard. You will move in happily to a beautiful complex only to realize you have sold every bit of individual freedom to the HOA. Everything you do will be regulated, including what you do in the privacy of your own home.

Very nicely maintained community in South Reno with all of the expected perks of an upscale HOA. Safe, tidy, and great location. Seems like most units are owner occupied. Rent is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Great pool (only outdoor heated pool in N Nevada) and a fantastic gym.

I have to agree with the other reviewers in some respects, but not all. You have to really be aware of the rules, which given as a renter you are not given anything in writing, can be hard be aware of. On the plus side, the facility/​amenities are really nice, with a great pool and spa, gym, and resident activities that are held. The grounds and buildings are kept in top shape thanks to the maintenance team and others. Actually, the activities are probably the biggest reason to live here. They are run I believe by the HOA and a committee of residents. They really do a nice job offering card games, dinners, sports events, wine tasting, food competitions etc. This gives you a nice opportunity to meet some of your fellow residents. Parking is either in a garage attached to your unit, or surface parking. Depending where you live, surface parking can be a little tight sometimes. The units are gated. As for «luxury condos». I have a one bedroom and there is really nothing overly luxury about it. They are called condos, but this looks pretty much like a one bedroom apartment on the inside (about 850 sq ft) you would find anywhere. Ours is in really good shape, but nothing else really special about it. Seems pretty quiet though, but apartment living is the luck of the draw. We happen to have a dog or two above us who bark pretty much all day long and have a unit on S Meadows so it is somewhat noisy with traffic. A large portion of the units are owner-​occupied with some available for rent. Location is very close to Smiths and many other stores around Smiths, all within walking distance. A decent choice for S Reno, although that is said without seeing what the competitors have to offer, but no reason not to stay here.

I’ve lived here for over a year. This place is loud and majority of neighbors are old and unfriendly towards younger neighbors. Location is closed to grocery shopping and couple of decent restaurants.
The place has nice amenities which is completely ruined by the way HOA runs this place. If you want to be harassed by HOA on daily basis move here.
They check for your ID multiple times, while you’re trying to relax by the pool. if you lose your parking permit, ID or gate opener, everything has a flat fee of $ 50. $ 50 for a piece of plastic parking permit! HOA is a big bully and don’t do what a typical HOA is expected to do like take care of leaves, ice and snow. They won’t even help you jump start your car if you ever need a jump. There is a ping-​pong table at the gym which is locked and only HOA can unlock it. Finally, they do bother to check to see who’s parked where but there has been MANY burglaries in the complex. There is absolutely no security and I’ve seen people crawl under the gates to get in. The gates are very ineffective.
In short, HOA controls everything and makes you feel like you’re in prison.
I don’t recommend this place if you want a quiet, hassle-​free environment to live and relax.

This place is for the old at heart! Seems like a 55 and over community.
