2. Verdi: The Mountain Gateway
Just west of Somersett lies Verdi (pronounced Vur-dye), a historic town straddling the Nevada–California border.
Verdi sits at a higher elevation and is heavily forested with pine trees, giving it a distinct mountain-town feel. Many residents describe it as having a “Tahoe atmosphere” without Tahoe pricing. It offers seclusion, natural beauty, and quick access to I-80 for commuting.
