Best Neighborhoods to Live in Las Vegas

 

Planning to live in Las Vegas but don’t know which neighborhood to look into? If yes then this article will help you find the best neighborhoods in Las Vegas and how you can find the one that suits you and your family’s needs.

 

Spotting the Best Neighborhood

 

Living in Las Vegas is a dream for many people and if you are one of them then you must know which neighborhood you would like to settle into. There are plenty of wonderful neighborhoods in Las Vegas but you must know how likely you would like to live there and what can these offer you and your family. How can you spot a good neighborhood in Las Vegas? Here’s what you need to know:

 

  • It is highly recommended by people – sure, there might be a couple of good neighborhoods that you can check out in Vegas but in order to get the best one, always look for the one that is highly recommended by people. You will know if it’s a safe area when people can tell you good things about it. In Las Vegas, good neighborhoods are often located in different areas and is home to many affluent people. The richer the neighborhood is, the most likely it is safe to live in since people are aware of the security around their area.
  • It has low crime rates – besides being safe, a good neighborhood is often free of crimes and if there are any, it is very low to minimal. When checking for a neighborhood to live in, find one that has low crime rates then you will be sure that it’s a good neighborhood to settle into.
  • It has low unemployment rates – low crime rates isn’t the only thing that you need to check but the rate of unemployment as well. If the neighborhood you like is home to many working people in than unemployed ones then you bet that this is a good neighborhood to move into.
  • Home prices are high – a rich neighborhood usually means having homes with high prices for sale. It is not something where anyone can just waltz in and buy (unless they can afford it) houses right away. The houses in these areas are usually well-maintained and are only sold by real estate companies.
  • It has high densities in population – a good neighborhood usually have a good number of people living in it and has enough activities to do around the area.

Once all of these qualities are present in the neighborhood you are looking into then it is a sign that it is a good place to settle. Make sure that you study the neighborhood well too so you can confirm if it is indeed an ideal location to live in or not. This way you won’t waste your time and money looking at the wrong neighborhood.

 

5 Best Neighborhoods in Las Vegas

 

If you are looking for a place to live in Las Vegas then here are some of the best areas that you should check out:

 

  • HENDERSON

 

Henderson is perhaps one of Las Vegas’ longest posh suburbia. This area can be found in the southeastern part of Vegas where it is bordered by the state’s most beautiful national parks, the Sloan Canyon and Lake Mead. If you are looking for a quick getaway then this neighborhood gives you access to bodies of water as well as breathtaking sceneries from the the canyon. It is also ranked as one of the best places to live in Vegas where there are ample options for houses, excellent schools and good number of shopping districts and places to eat. If you want to go out at night for some night life then you will be happy to know that it is just a few minutes away from the Entertainment Capital of the World so you will surely enjoy living in this part of town.

 

  • SUMMERLIN

 

Summerlin can be compared to Henderson but smaller. It is also one of the best suburbs that many people love to live in thanks to the genius design of Howard Hughes. It may not be the best spot for a young family but if you live alone or if you and your partner don’t have children then this is the best place to be. It is also a hub for many outdoor enthusiasts as the Red Rock Canyon National Park is just west of Summerlin. This gives you a great time to hike, trek and camp if you want to. If the outdoors is not your thing then you will be happy to know that Downtown Summerlin recently added shopping centers and dining complexes in their part of town. All you have to do is hop in your car and drive down there.

 

  • DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS 

 

Let me get this clear, Downtown Las Vegas is NOT the Strip although it is close enough. Like many other cities, Downtown Las Vegas is dense with high-rise apartments and used to be the epicenter of Las Vegas back in the 50s and 60s. This means that the old buildings are still standing and have been converted to coffee shops, artisan cafes and tattoo parlors. If you like to eat then you will be happy to know that there are plenty of local restaurants to choose from. So if you love this kind of place to live in, Downtown Las Vegas is the place to be.

 

  • THE LAKES

 

If you are someone who is looking for a more affluent area to live in then The Lakes is perfect for you. This 2-square-mile planned community is located just within the city limits of Las Vegas. It is located near the Red Rock Canyon as well and Spring Mountains on the western part of the Las Vegas Valley. It’s name was taken from the large man-made lake called Lake Sahara which was originally two man-made lakes. However, it was downscoped into one during the 1980s and 1990s. It is also a mixtures of gated communities, commercial areas and large-single family homes that you will love. If you want something more proper and away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas then this is the best place to live in.

 

  • THE ARTS DISTRICT

 

Las Vegas is a hub for many performers and artists and one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the state belong to the Arts District. If you want to live somewhere near Downtown Las Vegas but not exactly next to it then this is the best area to choose. Music, art stores, boutiques, clothing, furniture and the likes are all part of this community. You will also enjoy the apartments as the areas are a mixture of old Vegas-style and newer styles of the southwestern. So if you want to live in an area where you can impress people then this is the place to settle in.

 

Whether you choose to live in a suburb or downtown area, Las Vegas has the best neighborhoods to offer. All you have to do is study the area well so you know if it is the one for you or not. Take time to visit the neighborhood too so you can have a feel of how things are. Contact a real estate agent within the location you like and see what options you have. This way you are certain that you are not wasting your time and money, good luck!

I was in a bind and needed to sell my home quick without the hassle of someone trying to get over on me. I was approached by Frankie who works here at "We Buy Any Vegas House" and let me tell you! Frankie was not only understanding of my situation but was always on my side every step of the way. He took what was a very stressful time in my life and made this transaction as painless as it could be. His assistant Tara always got back to me regardless of what time it was and I never felt like I was in the dark. I am forever thankful that Frank reached out me and can't thank him and his team enough!

Kip came over & offered to steal my beautiful home for a terribly low price, then made an appointment to come back with his partner a few days later, but didn't show up or even call to let us know he wasn't coming

Casey Ryan is an incredible professional when it comes to the needs of sellers that need to sell their homes off market. As a real estate agent I always recommend Casey to anyone looking to work with an off market buyer. He is honest, trustworthy & always looking for win-win solutions for everyone involved! The real estate market is better because of Casey & his company, We Buy Any House

Worked with Ryan on the sale of my Vegas property, I thought it was going to be a little difficult being out of town in Arizona. Ryan walked me through the process of selling and was able to get me an offer that was higher than I was expecting. He handled everything for me and made the process easy and really quick which was what exactly what I was looking for! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to sell their house

Local to Vegas and they are the best. I spoke to every cash home buyer in Vegas. Most of them just low-balled me over the phone. Ryan met me at the property and made an offer, which turned out to be the highest. He also agreed to close with the difficult hoarding tenant still there. Jamie supported me through the escrow process, she was very responsive to any questions I had and kept me informed during the closing. Less than a 30-day escrow. I spoke to a few of the team members over two months as I was getting other offers and all of them were easy to talk to and patient. They have a great team and make sure you include them in your decision-making.Thanks againJG

The first person I met was Allen. He immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in dealing with this company. I'm chronically ill. Allen is the only real estate person I'd let in my home.Throughout the process I ended up dealing with the whole team. Jamie deserves a medal for the hurdles she can overcome. Ryan is great at fixing problems and handling the big stuff, with a whole lot of support from Jamie. Allen was always available for me and checking in. He is great at answering questions in a way you understand and I always felt comfortable talking to him.Here is the actual email I sent the team today: "Hi everybody. Just wanted to thank you all again. I'm already able to do so much more for myself, I feel like a new person. I love my cute little house. I love the cold. It even snowed my 3rd day here. Because I'm able to move around, go outside, see people, clean the house, run errands, etc I'm starting to walk much better and even breathe better. And I haven't even seen a doctor yet. I don't feel like I'm a prisoner in my house anymore. Just wanted to let you know how much of a difference you make."My sale hit a few snags. But I'm the end, everything worked out just as they promised, for the amount they promised. These are great people to trust. (PS… Don't worry if they use O.D. I thought it was a scam of some kind. It wasn't. I just didn't understand).

I attempted to work with Allen, from this company. He seemed very nice and I was curious about what their company would give me for my home, if there were no realtors commissions involved. He said he needed to see the house. He came over and took a bunch of pictures and said he would talk to his partner Ryan, (the numbers guy), and get back with me in a half an hour. I didn’t hear from him that day. The next day I received a text from him, saying he would contact me on Monday. On Monday, he texted to see if I could talk at 12:00? I said, yes, he never called. Tuesday I receive a call from a random realtor telling me that Allen’s company has referred me to him. I call Allen, of course, to ask him what the heck is going on and he says yes, I work with this realtor, but I didn’t give him your information, he pouched it from our website!! I then say, so are you going to work with me and I find out, exactly what I already knew, they couldn’t offer enough money for my house, so they are not going to make an offer, HUGE SURPRISE!! #1, if you want your personal information safe, do not work with this company and #2, if you want a good offer on your home, don’t work with this company. I bought my home 3 years ago, it’s in great condition, in a great zip code and the market is through the roof!! If you can’t buy a house and get close to what someone needs financially right now, I don’t know when you can! Pick another company besides this one!! There are many!! Stay far away from this particular WE BUY HOUSES FOR CASH!!! You have been warned!!!

My husband handled the process but felt good dealing with this local company and they did not try to change price after seeing the house. They actually offered higher once they saw our home. Had 5 companies come our to give us bids and they all were bait and switch. They beat everyone’s offers too. We tried to list before and couldn’t sell. I don’t know why anyone would work with head aches of real estate agents and paying commissions, banks, inspectors and the time to close only to walk away with the same money. Thank you Ryan and Jamie.

I struggled with the idea of selling my house to a "flipper". This company was fair, professional and extremely helpful every step of the way. I never had to wait for a response from Kelly Schnippel when I had a question or concern.I personally would recommend them to anyone looking to get a fair price for their property all the while getting kindness, professionalism and assistance from the buyer.Thank you Kelly Schnippel! I appreciate YOU and your team!Sheila Winn

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company! I needed to sell a house quickly after a death in my family. I spoke with several Cash for Houses Companies in Las Vegas and settled on We Buy Any Vegas House. Everyone was very sensitive about my situation, helpful, answered all my questions and extremely responsive when I called. Ryan and Kelly were awesome!After we settled on a price everything went super smoothly in escrow and again if I had any concerns or questions there was immediate feedback. Also the fact that I was able to do this remotely as I live in California was extremely helpful! I am so grateful for all the help I received during a very challenging time in my life.

My wife and I recently bought a home from Casey Ryan. The home we purchased is located in Centennial Hills. Gorgeous remodel. Casey and his team did a great job of designing the home. We ran into a couple of issues shortly after moving in. Casey had his people out quickly during Christmas week to make a couple of repairs. He gave my wife and I peace of mind during a chaotic holiday week and for that we will always appreciate him. I would recommend a Casey Ryan home to my friends and relatives.

I needed to sell my house from out of state ASAP. I looked into some other larger name companies and was disappointed with their turn-around time and lack of customer service. I'm so grateful to have found Ryan (and Kelly)! They understood my time crunch and moved heaven and earth to buy my house at a fair price and closed by the promised date. They were with me every step of the way and offered world class service! 100% would recommend to anyone!
