Modern Caughlin Ranch Community
The Eastridge and Caughlin Crest Parks are part of the Caughlin ranch land purchased by Lakeridge Developers Don Lonie, Alan Mears and Sam Jaksick in the early 1980s. The land was sold by the daughters of Crissie Caughlin to the developers because it was costing too much in property taxes. Their hope was that the land would be kept “as pristine as possible.”
At the time the daughters sold the land, the area was part of unincorporated Washoe County. Reno annexed the area in 1987.
The Caughlin Ranch development includes 2,300 acres of single-family homes, townhouses, and convenience center. According to the Caughlin Ranch Homeowners Association, the old ranch property now has 26 separate residential neighborhoods, eight non-residential land uses, one public facility, plus several privately-owned parks and recreational facilities.
