Somersett Fall Community-Wide Garage Sale 2026: Map, Dates & Shopper's Guide

Twice a year, households across Somersett — a master-planned golf community in northwest Reno, Nevada — hold a coordinated garage sale. The Somersett Fall Community-Wide Garage Sale is the October edition: residents sign up their address, the community publishes a Google My Map, and for one Saturday the neighborhoods along the Sierra foothills turn into a single, mapped sale. In 2026 it runs Saturday, October 3, 7 AM to 3 PM.

This fall sale is a separate event from Somersett's long-running summer sale in July — same community, same ZIP code, but its own registration map. With 93 placemarks confirmed on the community's own My Map, it's close in scale to the summer edition and worth planning for the same way.

How the community sale works

Somersett coordinates the sign-up and publishes the official map, but the sales themselves are ordinary households clearing out garages across the community. Residents who want to take part register their address, and the full list goes onto a shared Google My Map for the fall weekend.

Because Somersett sits on a hillside grid of loops and courts rather than a flat street grid, a map full of pins is genuinely easier to misread here than in a typical suburb. Browse the full list free, then map the smartest driving order and drive it — which loop you hit first matters more here than almost anywhere else on this list.

Strategy — the terrain rewards a planned loop

Somersett's layout means the shortest path on a map isn't always the shortest drive. A little planning before 7 AM pays off.

• Group by court, not by straight-line distance. Homes on the same cul-de-sac are an easy sweep; homes a quarter-mile apart on different loops can mean a longer drive than they look.
• Start at the densest cluster. With 93 households spread across the community, some pockets will have several sales within easy walking distance — work those first.
• Watch the clock. The sale runs only until 3 PM, shorter than many citywide events — don't save the far side of the community for last.

What you'll find

Somersett is a settled, family-oriented community built around a golf course and miles of trails at the edge of Reno's western hills. A neighborhood-wide sale here regularly turns over furniture, tools, kids' and baby gear, clothing, and kitchenware — plus a strong showing of outdoor and sporting gear that fits the setting: camping equipment, bikes, ski and snow gear, and golf clubs.

Because this is the fall edition, expect more seasonal clearing — end-of-summer gear, cooler-weather clothing, and the usual household overflow as families get ready for winter.

Pro tips

• Plan your loop by court or cul-de-sac. Somersett's terrain makes nearby-on-the-map different from nearby-by-car.
• Start early. The sale ends at 3 PM — shorter than many citywide events — so get moving at 7.
• Bring small bills. These are households, not shops — cash in small denominations keeps things moving.
• Keep the map handy. The live map here keeps the registered-household list in your pocket as you work the loops.
