Why do so many people love living in Las Vegas? Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing, most livable cities in America. From 2003 to 2004, the population grew to 1.7 million, a 6.4 percent increase from the previous year. In 2004, 29,472 new homes and 64,168 resale homes were purchased. The rapid growth of the Las Vegas metropolitan area has transformed numerous locations from raw desert into finely-tuned, well-established neighborhoods, each with its own unique style and personality.
Homes to fit every lifestyle, income and location preference can be found in the Las Vegas Valley. From the heart of the city to the furthest outlying neighborhoods, new residents can choose from existing homes in and around Las Vegas to newly furnished models in master-planned communities.
Boulder City
Boulder City is located 25 miles southeast of downtown Las Vegas and 10 miles southeast of Henderson. Boulder City is best known as the city that was born during the construction of Hoover Dam. The town housed more than 4,000 workers during construction, which took place from 1931 to 1935. The triangular shaped Boulder City is the only city in Nevada without gaming. The city’s residents enjoy security, lush parks and a small-town atmosphere. Strict regulations govern further growth. Instead of master-planned communities and mega-resorts, the city fathers are implementing a 15,000-tree program – an effort to plant one tree for every resident in the city.
Henderson
Now home to more than 200,000 residents, Henderson has 25 award-winning, master-planned communities and will soon be growing again since the city council annexed 8.5 square miles of land south of the Henderson Executive Airport. The area may one day be home to 600 acres of parks, two fire stations, one high school, two middle schools and nine elementary schools.
North Las Vegas
Incorporated in 1946, North Las Vegas has successfully created an identity that is uniquely separate from its more famous neighbor to the south. North Las Vegas, now home to nearly 140,000 residents, comprises an area of nearly 80 square miles. The city is home to the bulk of Southern Nevada’s manufacturing, distribution and industrial facilities. More companies are emerging, particularly in the older areas of the city, where an effort is underway to attract new business with an expanded redevelopment zone and public beautification efforts.
Southwest Las Vegas
Southwest Las Vegas is quickly starting to gain footing as the next hotspot for residential development in the Las Vegas Valley. The prestigious communities of Spanish Trail and Spanish Hills have set the standard for the southwestern quadrant of the Las Vegas area. Spanish Trail, a gated 640-acre golf course community, has garnered national attention for its design, security and beautiful home sites.
Summerlin
The Summerlin community is the most celebrated development in the northwest region of Las Vegas. There are more than 40 neighborhoods, priced between $250,000 and $2 million. Designed to live as good as it looks, Summerlin delivers an incomparable lifestyle and quality of life for its residents. An abundance of parks, trails and golf courses come together with exceptional schools, houses of worship, cultural facilities, shopping centers, business parks and medical facilities along with over 150 model homes built by 15 home builders to create a self-contained community unlike any other in Southern Nevada. Once you’ve experienced Summerlin, it’s easy to understand why the community has ranked as America’s best-selling master-planned community ten of the past eleven years.
The Strip: Las Vegas Boulevard
The fabled three-mile area holds more hotel rooms than any other city in the world. You will find the most famous and remarkable resorts such as Bellagio with its Italian Renaissance aura and Caesars Palace, the glory of Rome, Vegas-style. Old standbys include the Flamingo Hilton and the Mirage, with its white tigers and erupting volcanoes. See the Paris Las Vegas with outstanding replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and magnifique Parisian atmosphere and charm. Treasure Island offers daily, live pirate battles, free of charge. At the “bottom” or south end of the strip, risen from the ashes of the Hacienda Hotel, now stands the magnificent Mandalay Bay with its tropical atmosphere and a pool with waves you can actually surf. At the top of the Strip, you will find the Stratosphere Tower visible from miles away. It is the highest free-standing building in the western half of the United States, with views from the top that are indescribable.
