hello all! Wife and I are probably going to take a trip to Las Vegas sometime next year. We want to spend a day checking out the suburbs to see if this might be a future home sight for us. I would definitely appreciate help from locals as far as where to look at and where to stay away from. I've checked a lot of real estate sights with some nice homes, but everyone claims to have the best schoolss blah,blah, blah. I would appreciate input from locals. Thanks. :seeya
Summerlin is nice but depending on what you do for work it can be one hell of a commute. There are a ton of new homes that look to be the center of a decent community 20+ min south and southwest of the strip. I live in Central (Desert Inn & Eastern) and at first where it seamed like it may be a little rougher than I like, I now feel very safe and like almost everything about it. Now if you have kids... I wouldn't recommend raising them around were I live. With some scouting you can find a great place for cheap. In the end... Summerlin (even the other side of 95) or South, what the others said. :)
Re: question for Las Vegas residents... (deadzoom)
Love Las Vegas! I use to live there and I still love the place. It would be good to visit and see Vegas for yourself. The area out towards Mt. Charleston and west - southwest of I-15 have new homes....the area is lovely.
