Crescent Valley in Nevada\u2019s Eureka County is quiet, serene, and a great escape for those looking to enjoy rural life in a desert setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unincorporated community is home to just under 400 residents, many of which have children who either attend the local elementary school or travel half an hour or so up the road to Battle Mountain.
