Ascente by Toll Brothers: New Builds, Luxury Living in South Reno

By Carson Long, South Reno Realtor | Compass

If you’ve been searching for a new luxury home in the South Reno area, the brand-new Ascente by Toll Brothers community is worth a closer look. Set in the scenic hills of South Reno off of Mount Rose Highway, this development blends modern design, mountain views, and easy access to both city amenities and outdoor adventure.

Community Overview

Toll Brothers officially launched Ascente in March 2025, with the first move-in opportunities available beginning in the fall of 2025. The neighborhood features two primary home collections, Copper Rock and Silverskye, each designed to highlight the unique hillside topography and views of the Sierra Nevada.

Located near the Montreux area off of Mt. Rose Hwy, Ascente offers a tranquil, elevated setting while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, and services in Reno. Walking, hiking, and biking trails are planned within the community, making it an ideal location for those who want the best of both modern conveniences and outdoor living.

Home Styles, Sizes & Price Points

Copper Rock Collection

• Home sizes from 2,611 to 3,722 sq. ft.

• Floor plans include the Brunello, Brunello Elite, Royce, and Royce Elite

• Options for 3–5 bedrooms and up to 4.5 baths

• Pricing starts around $1,079,995

Silverskye Collection

• Marketed as a luxury hillside enclave with dramatic views

• Homes designed with 3–5 bedrooms and multiple bath configurations

• Larger, more premium lots with elevated settings

Overall Offerings

Across both collections, Toll Brothers is releasing up to 12 different single-family designs, ranging from 2,600 sq. ft. to more than 6,300 sq. ft. The variety of home types means buyers can select a plan that best suits their lifestyle, whether that’s a lock-and-leave style residence or a larger estate designed for entertaining.

Lot Sizes

Because Ascente sits on sloped, hillside terrain, lot sizes and shapes vary throughout the community. While not all dimensions have been published, the development includes a mix of standard and larger hillside lots, many of which are positioned to maximize panoramic views and privacy. Some areas of the neighborhood are still in early phases, with more detailed plat maps expected as sales progress. 

Lifestyle & Things to Do

Living at Ascente means easy access to everything South Reno and the Tahoe region have to offer:

• Outdoor recreation: Walking, hiking, and biking trails within the community and nearby mountain access at Callahan Park, Jones Creek, Galena Creek, and Thomas Creek.

• Scenic views: Elevated topography provides stunning views of Mt. Rose

• Nearby amenities: Close to some of Reno’s best public schools, shopping centers, dining, and entertainment options in Reno

• Convenience: Just a short drive to Mount Rose Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe, and Reno–Tahoe International Airport

Why You Still Need a Realtor for New Builds

It’s easy to assume that buying directly from a builder means you don’t need an agent, but that’s one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate. Here’s why having a Realtor on your side matters when purchasing a home in a new development like Ascente:

• Representation: The sales agents at new-build communities represent the builder, not you. Having your own Realtor ensures your interests are protected throughout the process just like you would on a resale home.

• Negotiation & Upgrades: From lot premiums to design center upgrades, a Realtor can help you understand where you can negotiate and what will add the most long-term value.

• Contract Knowledge: Builder contracts are different from standard resale contracts. A Realtor can walk you through the fine print and key timelines.

• Market Expertise: An experienced local agent knows how new-build pricing compares to resale homes, helping you make a confident, informed decision.
