Lockwood is an unincorporated community on the northern edge of Storey County, Nevada, United States,[1] about 10 miles (16 km) east of Reno and Sparks. Lockwood is part of the Reno-Sparks Metropolitan Area.[2]
The community of Lockwood lies between the Truckee River on the north and the Virginia Range on the south. It is connected to the Reno-Sparks area by a bridge over the Truckee River on Canyon Way that connects the area with an interchange (Exit 22) on Interstate 80 (across the Washoe County line).[3]
In addition to outlying residences, Lockwood is home to two communities: the Rainbowbend subdivision and the Lockwood Community Corporation mobile home park.[4] The community also boasts its own parks, elementary school, community centers, and businesses. Lockwood is served by the Storey County Sheriff's Office and Storey County Fire Department, each having a substation in the community. Community resources include a clothing closet and food pantry.[citation needed]!
