I moved out of Vegas before it got insane, 96...living up in Summerlin definitely gave a feeling of power, looking down into the valley, seeing the cityscape at night from my roof in desert shores over lake Jacqueline is something I'll never forget...
We just retired and bought a home in the area you left! You say Vegas “got insane,” were you talking about The Strip or are there other unpleasant surprises headed our way? We stopped partying years ago & will be staying away from The Strip except for the occasional show & dinner out. We moved to Vegas so we could be close to California (& the grand-babies) without the taxes & high house prices. We’ll travel there to get a break from the heat in the summertime although I don’t see how it could be any worse than Atlanta, where we live currently. I know there will homeless people wherever we move but hopefully not right on top of us like they would be in Cali. Hope you are happier now in your new location!
The funny thing is, if you're a peasant who lives in the middle class areas or whatever, they are constantly sending you notifications from the water company reminding you about the strict watering regulations. But as you can see, if you live over there.... I highly doubt they keep up all those plants / grass only watering a few times a week lol
Born and raised and still here in Vegas. My mom would always drive me around areas with mansions. Particularly off of Hollywood. These new areas are nice to see. It motivates me 🤪🤙🏽
That’s a sweet memory. My dad would do the same and drive through Hollywood after our fishing trips many moons ago. Once in awhile I’ll still drive up there, look at the view, and reminisce a bit ☺️
We do the same thing. Right now we live near Boulder Station but my best friend and I will walk around these beautiful neighborhoods with our dogs because 1) it's safe and 2) we like to dream that maybe we could live in one of these areas one day. It's a dream that might never happen but it gets us out of the house and appreciate the architecture and landscaping of these amazing homes.
I grew up in Vegas (from 72-96) and my dad was a master carpenter along with 2 of my uncles (his brothers) and my brother. They worked on some of the homes in The Highlands as well as Steeple Chase area. I got married to a military man and left the area very shortly after and haven't been back since. My mother is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in N. Las Vegas. So yeah, I do remember Vegas when it was a heck of a lot smaller (far less people) than it is now. When I was a kid growing up there, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot for kids to do, you could go to the "Slip-N-Slide", movies, roller skating rinks, Circus Circus for the shows upstairs..etc.. but otherwise, not much else there for kids to do back then. Now, they've made it way more fun for kids/families to enjoy. I've considered moving back a few times but my husband is from the East Coast and since most of my family is now gone, we stay pretty much close to his family. Take Care everyone, enjoy your time in Vegas (if your making plans to visit anytime soon).
@@trevorgwelch7412 😆No I haven't, but, I hear that that there are some that are walking around downtown posing as humans ( I'm kidding of course....or am I 🤔).
There are many rich and exclusive homes in Henderson, Anthem, Seven Hills, Southern Highlands, Lake of Las Vegas, Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch and little gated pocket neighborhoods throughout Vegas and Henderson.
Also, many subdivisions have little pocket parks for the neighborhood. They are usually hidden away from the main streets. We have a five-acre park in mine. Trails, exercise equipment, bathrooms. If you don't live in the subdivision you don't know about it.

I moved my family to Southern Highlands to escape the insanity of LA, and this was the best decision we made. It's an amazing place specially if you have small children. The best schools money can buy and the residents are the most welcoming and polite. Nothing beats the peace of mind of safety and top grade schools without the insanity you hear happening around the country. That alone is worth every penny.
@@helloimclaudio Even private schools in LA are pushing ideology that isn’t inline with what I want children to learn at this young age. Plus the home invasions in affluent areas coupled with violent crime on the streets and homelessness everywhere you look from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica made the decision to move much easier and we are better off in a safer, cleaner and less politically motivated estate. Nevada is a very neutral family oriented place which is what fits our needs today.
Yes, A lot of people are moving to Las Vegas. This is a very nice area in Las Vegas. I went to Las Vegas on a vacation. It was 103 degrees at night. It may be cheaper to live but that heat is too much. I don’t want to be in a place that’s too hot to go outside. Sacramento Ca is as hot as I want to get. There are some very nice homes. I would like a bigger yard. Thanks for showing such a great video.
true but vegas has 0% humidity most of the year and barely any rainy days. Heat can get annoying from may to august but from march-may and september-november the weather is perfect
@@fadespeedruns1076 yeah that's a great sacrifice. Only 3 months out of the year is bearable. When it's too hot I stay in and gain weight. I can't stand that dry heat.
Moved to vegas late 2019 😬 worst timing ever. It is turning into a mini LA. Enjoyed my stay as much as possible but am excited to move outta here when I can
Yes! I moved here in summer 2019. We bought a home near the M and we don't like living here. My husband and I are from the east coast and people here are a holes because a lot of them are from Cali. We can't wait to move lol
@@skyebrock7406 lol what part of the east coast cus thats funny I can say the same with people I met that are from boston and new york and jersey every thing has its positive and negative it ain't as bad as how you say it is don't they say most people from the new york are a holes 😂😂
We just bought our home in Henderson a few months ago. There are mega mansions here as well. Our gated community is between 600k to 800k with golf courses and a few retired ball players. Henderson is just as nice and exclusive as Southern Highlands and Summerlin. Husband owns a trucking company. Our neighbor is a retired pilot and another owns a car dealership.
I was... wow! That's beautiful! Really Green and Healthy.... Is that maintainable? Are decisions going to have made one day to choose from people needing water? Or this needing water? Because it seems to be a plausable scenario to me? Same goes with electricity. I think....
Let me say this I moved here last August yes it was hot but this is the desert. End of September cool down and October thru March cold and April and may nice and pleasant still get cold days in April. Even in the hot months the night is not 103 degrees like someone said here he's clearly lying. It's windy here during the winter months at least 3 times a week. Strong winds and dusty too. 80 degrees here is a cooler 80 degrees than on the east coast. And when it rains it's an event! Love it here and staying
Do not confuse Downtown Las Vegas with Unincorporated Las Vegas, which includes the Strip. Downtown Las Vegas is the old Vegas: the Golden Nugget, El Cortez, etc.
The cost of living here is only cheap in the ghetto, but the gas is way higher then the Midwest. It's total chaos, with all these tourist and people moving here from different places, the insurance rates are through the roof because they have so many car accidents due to bad drivers and people thinking the roads are for Nascar drivers.
I retired in Mexico from California. The same thing is hapening down here people our moving to Mexico for the cost of living, wearher, and quality of life. You can purchase a home in a gated beach community for about 300K U.S. Our expat population has gone from about 1K to about 5K. in the last 3 years. We are starting to see younger people moving down here most our digital nomads or people that our pretired.
I do Solar in Las Vegas. The areas are Summerlin. Rhodes Ranch. Anthem. Lake Las Vegas. Tuscany. Spanish Trail. Green Valley. Southern Highland. Just to name a few.
Nvm. I just realized Nevada gets its water from Hoover Dam. So what? Not everyone wants their home to have no grass. Many people care about themselves more than the environment. If they didn't, they'd stop doing certain things that causes climate change.
Visited the Hoover Dam and don’t forget all of the electric for Las Vegas comes from the dam. The reservoir is at 35% capacity and expected to continue to get lower. Moving to Las Vegas is a dumb dumb move.
12:50 Same with our community. One day I opened the mail to find a picture of our housekeeper behind the wheel and a message saying our guest was going 35 in a 25 and they fined us $100.
I long desired to live in a massive home but as I watch many videos of mansions, it seems too spacious to the point where there will loneliness that will fill it in. A lot of mansions is also pointless imo
Nice video but if you planning to move to Vegas first go to Hoover Dam to check the water level and Lake Mead, in approximately 8 to 10 years from now it will taxes for water consumption, plus restrictions because the water will be a big issue. Also is not cheap as it look.
You and Mary are going to be shocked when someone shows you the Scotch 80’s, Rancho Circle, Rancho Bel Air and the entire Rancho/Alta area with the custom estates, large lots, mature landscape and in the heart of the city of Las Vegas.
I have to admit when Jacob, from Jacob's life showed up it totally blew my mind. I love both your channels so much. I need to check if you did like a companion piece where you went to the Naked City part of town while it's still here. I used to work near there and the homeless and prostitutes occasionally walking around noon would put Grand Thief Auto games to shame. I lived in Cali till about 2006, at that time a home was 800K in southern Cali for about 2,000 Square feet, and about 300K in Vegas. My home value went to under 95K 2 years after I bought it in 2007 during the housing crisis. It finally climbed back to 250K and kind of stayed there. They built brand new 1 to 2 million dollar homes all around my house, literally there is a single wall that separates a million dollar home to my south and a 4 lane street that separate brand new 2 million houses to my west. On the positive side of that ... with home there, their are way less crazies going behind my house to do shit in the desert at night, people use to take drugs, create big fires, yell like crazy and ATV at 3 am like all the time during summer. One really f*ed up time a guy parked behind our house and shot his daughter and then himself, he had killed wife earlier in the day and had been driving around with her dead body in the car not knowing what to do... Anyway now it's way more quiet but occasionally those houses are like air BNB party houses, lots of parties during the pandemic in those houses, but they are build well so the sound is muffled well. But yeah, my property value is now 500K because of all that, so it gets way harder to complain. and they keep stuff clean and the crazies away.
You did a great job showing how little you actually know about Las Vegas. Southern Highlands, is not a gated community you can drive right in from both ends and a few places in the middle. There are gated communities within Southern Highlands however. The richest neighborhoods in Las Vegas are obviously the ridges in summerlin, the country club in Henderson the fountains in Henderson and Ascaya in Henderson and McDonald’s highlands in Henderson. Oh yeah, and Lake Las Vegas…also in Henderson.
lol. And Rhodes Ranch is on the lower end of guard gated communities. Sky Canyon where I live there are gated communities but NO guard gated communities. And Centennial Hospital is just a Public Hospital on a main road (Durango). But correct, the Ridges are spectacular, and it is no surprise Mark Wahlberg put up close to $30 million to buy land and a home. Even Spanish Trails is nicer than Rhodes Ranch where Andre Agassi, Greg Maddux live and the first time Ben and Jlo got married bought a house there. lol
Well sounds like we are heading in this direction. This is what its like in 3rd world countries. The rich are behind walls. I guess no homeless encampments to deal with.
Fancy over here on the west side of town near the mountains. Many gated communities but I would have loved to go to school here with the mountains in the background
…huh… wait list for the golf club memberships.., while 2 of the golf clubs closest to my home, are basically almost public clubs .., starting to advertise on radio, and billboards, hoping ppl join. wow, wasn’t like that 5 years ago.
I live in Las Vegas spending my time in Red Rock Canyon - Hiking most afternoons and weekend mornings. It's usually 10-15 degrees cooler, there's water back in the Canyons. Then, I drive back to life normal to my gated community where we both work home-based. Same neighbors since 2009. Bot when these 5k sq ft homes were $275k during the crash. Now these are over $1 million. One thing we don't have a lot of is lawns. Just in the common area. All but 2 of 20 homes have total desertscape.
$600,000 for one of these houses! In NYC that pays for a closet! The houses look very close to each other - I would think people would want to have more space in between houses . Thumbs up!
@@JShawnPaul I owned a home in the Southwest part of town that was fairly close to Souther Highlands, and let me tell you how close the homes were spaced apart. Roughly 6’ from house to retaining wall. You could literally spit out of your window and hit your neighbor on their property. Very close like army barracks, and no backyards unless you paid a premium.
That’s the way it is. These developers buy an acreage and create these communities. Even driving out further you see houses basically on top of each other in the middle of nowhere.
I just left Las Vegas to move to The Charlotte suburbs in North Carolina. I like it better in NC. Las Vegas was turning into California and I couldn’t take it anymore. I left Summerlin.
Southern Highlands is not a gated community, it's a master plan in which there are some gated communities.There are also communities that are not gated. The most prestigious are guard gated communities. Same with Summerlin or Seven Hills and Green Valley Ranch.
I was expecting avg price for house to be a lot higher than that, I live in small town in eastern EU and in good neighborhood houses like that are around 400-800k€.
Lol you guys are so funny some of the $1400 a month try for a small apartment being $1400 a month now Originally came from California too But a 4 long time ago and my house is paid off now To be honest the only thing I fear is that some of the California people that I ran away from are going to bring their disgusting policies here and destroy Vegas too😓
If you're visiting Columbus ohio this weekend. Saturday high around 30 with brisk winds&flurries. Sunday highs around 40& dont forget to turn clocks forward Saturday night before going to bed.
Born n raised here we are not just a fast life, we are more then that n Las Vegas Strip. My dad owns a home on Las Vegas Hilton golf course it's the best security gated community ever. Also violence is everywhere n we don't tax food groceries like a lot of states do. Summerlin has had major break ins in the last two months it's been bad. Cali n NY. Is where their coming from.
While it's crazy in cost, $600k for one of these homes really isn't that bad. You should see the tiny and crappy houses here in Oregon for close to that cost; I paid $99k for my house and it's twice the size of most of these expensive homes.
Not so cheap anymore, things are getting more expensive & also heat gets worse and worse every year ,but hey it’s all at your risk ..also if you plan to move here ..be prepared for a lot of skin cancer due to the sun :) good luck !!
My girl friend and I went to Las Vegas and it's ok if you stay with the crowd but there's to many people for me..glad when we touch down back in Georgia..
I absolutely loved this video the way you drove through the neighbourhood to see all these houses literally looks like heaven I hope someday 🙏 I can afford one
@Erin In some parts of California(Los Angeles particularly), you can buy a nice 5bd home for less than $500k.The reason why homes are so expensive in California as a whole is because it's one of the easiest states to make millions of dollars.
@CC. LL @CC. LL I agree with everything you said. People in California always complain about the cost of living and these same exact individuals don't realize why it's so expensive to live there in the first place. 1: Great job opportunities, 2: Weather, 3: Beaches, 4: High minimum wage, 5: High demand(capitalism), 6: High taxes, 7: Theme parks, 8:Theatres, 9: National parks, etc.
MacDonald Highlands. Is the most expensive place to live, a renowned guard-gated community in Henderson, NV. It includes Dragonridge which is the most expensive property in Vegas.
To keep things that green they must water daily. I am sure the water bills in these communities must be high and that they have extensive sprinkler systems

@@fadespeedruns1076 yeah that's a great sacrifice. Only 3 months out of the year is bearable. When it's too hot I stay in and gain weight. I can't stand that dry heat.
Moved to vegas late 2019 😬 worst timing ever. It is turning into a mini LA. Enjoyed my stay as much as possible but am excited to move outta here when I can
Yes! I moved here in summer 2019. We bought a home near the M and we don't like living here. My husband and I are from the east coast and people here are a holes because a lot of them are from Cali. We can't wait to move lol
🤣😂 I grew up out here and left in 2019 and returned 4 months ago and already planning to make another exit once I get my savings together
@@skyebrock7406 lol what part of the east coast cus thats funny I can say the same with people I met that are from boston and new york and jersey every thing has its positive and negative it ain't as bad as how you say it is don't they say most people from the new york are a holes 😂😂
Same
What part of Vegas are you in? I moved to Summerlin 2020 and I like the area.
We just bought our home in Henderson a few months ago. There are mega mansions here as well. Our gated community is between 600k to 800k with golf courses and a few retired ball players. Henderson is just as nice and exclusive as Southern Highlands and Summerlin. Husband owns a trucking company. Our neighbor is a retired pilot and another owns a car dealership.
I love gated communities and planned communities. I would move there in a second
These homes are beautiful
Those are huge houses for the amount of people that live inside them...
Money and Ego
I love how many trees there are here , but i hope that las Vegas doesn't run out of water 😂
Turn the irrigation off for a week and it would look like the Los Alamos blast zone. It certainly looks nice though.
They have coming what they deserve. Our residents of the White House and those who are flying often come to mind first.
I was... wow! That's beautiful! Really Green and Healthy....
Is that maintainable? Are decisions going to have made one day to choose from people needing water? Or this needing water? Because it seems to be a plausable scenario to me? Same goes with electricity. I think....
We have used the same percentage of the lakes water for 70 years. Only allotment of 2.6 percent. We give it all to CA
The neighborhood is really beautiful. Its good to be rich.😁😁😁😁
Love my city.....LAS VEGAS 4 LIFE born and raised
Same Here
Without snow the roads re easier to maintain and get less damaged from winter weather. No potholes.
I work in the community. Nice place and some really friendly people.
Let me say this I moved here last August yes it was hot but this is the desert. End of September cool down and October thru March cold and April and may nice and pleasant still get cold days in April. Even in the hot months the night is not 103 degrees like someone said here he's clearly lying. It's windy here during the winter months at least 3 times a week. Strong winds and dusty too. 80 degrees here is a cooler 80 degrees than on the east coast. And when it rains it's an event! Love it here and staying
Do not confuse Downtown Las Vegas with Unincorporated Las Vegas, which includes the Strip. Downtown Las Vegas is the old Vegas: the Golden Nugget, El Cortez, etc.
I don’t think Southern Highlands is in Las Vegas. It is in the “Vegas Valley” but not in the actual city of Las Vegas
Defiantly surprised you didn’t go to lake Las Vegas. It’s in Henderson but some crazy expensive homes there
The cost of living here is only cheap in the ghetto, but the gas is way higher then the Midwest. It's total chaos, with all these tourist and people moving here from different places, the insurance rates are through the roof because they have so many car accidents due to bad drivers and people thinking the roads are for Nascar drivers.
When you think of Los Vegas most think of the casinos but there are beautiful homes there as well great vlog Nick.
I retired in Mexico from California. The same thing is hapening down here people our moving to Mexico for the cost of living, wearher, and quality of life. You can purchase a home in a gated beach community for about 300K U.S. Our expat population has gone from about 1K to about 5K. in the last 3 years. We are starting to see younger people moving down here most our digital nomads or people that our pretired.
I do Solar in Las Vegas. The areas are Summerlin. Rhodes Ranch. Anthem. Lake Las Vegas. Tuscany. Spanish Trail. Green Valley. Southern Highland. Just to name a few.
Exactly
All that grass ! Such a waste with the water issues ! Have u seen water 💦 levels at hoover dam lately
Nvm. I just realized Nevada gets its water from Hoover Dam. So what? Not everyone wants their home to have no grass. Many people care about themselves more than the environment. If they didn't, they'd stop doing certain things that causes climate change.
Research where water comes from
@Jills Mcfarland can u please tell us ? Considering the colorado river is low and if it’s vegas groundwater it’s not gonna last long either
Visited the Hoover Dam and don’t forget all of the electric for Las Vegas comes from the dam. The reservoir is at 35% capacity and expected to continue to get lower. Moving to Las Vegas is a dumb dumb move.
Meanwhile... the remaining 99.9% of us are getting poorer by the day.
Capitalism.
Right
@@thestrikingtruth7 and if everyone is wealthy no one is, and if someone is wealthy someone is pore as shit.
Poor guy
Then capitalize. Don't be a part of that 0.1%.
I lived in south Summerlin. I loved it, there. I never felt in danger. They have tons of amazing cheap resturants to eat at.
12:50 Same with our community. One day I opened the mail to find a picture of our housekeeper behind the wheel and a message saying our guest was going 35 in a 25 and they fined us $100.
Very enjoyable and informative content. Keep up the great work mate !!!
I visited Vegas, and I really liked summerlin. However, the heat is just insane out there.
I long desired to live in a massive home but as I watch many videos of mansions, it seems too spacious to the point where there will loneliness that will fill it in. A lot of mansions is also pointless imo
Nice video but if you planning to move to Vegas first go to Hoover Dam to check the water level and Lake Mead, in approximately 8 to 10 years from now it will taxes for water consumption, plus restrictions because the water will be a big issue.
Also is not cheap as it look.
Awesome, beautiful, I subscribed
Ok!
I used to live in Las Vegas and Southern Highland and Summerlin are the two gems in Las Vegas
I love my neighborhood!!! I wouldn’t live anywhere else. My husband golfs every morning 👍🏼👍🏼
Jacob and Nick in the same video! My day is made!! Amazing epic duo!
Look at that lush greenery in that neighborhood.
Disgusting using the desert resources for greenery.
You and Mary are going to be shocked when someone shows you the Scotch 80’s, Rancho Circle, Rancho Bel Air and the entire Rancho/Alta area with the custom estates, large lots, mature landscape and in the heart of the city of Las Vegas.
Mary won't
I live in Vegas but I sure do like watching your videos because I can see things that I haven't seen before. I just came across your video today
Thanks for sharing I’ll have to tell women I live in Southern Highlands
“There’s no income tax here.”
Me: Cries in Californian 😓😂😑
I have to admit when Jacob, from Jacob's life showed up it totally blew my mind. I love both your channels so much. I need to check if you did like a companion piece where you went to the Naked City part of town while it's still here. I used to work near there and the homeless and prostitutes occasionally walking around noon would put Grand Thief Auto games to shame.
I lived in Cali till about 2006, at that time a home was 800K in southern Cali for about 2,000 Square feet, and about 300K in Vegas.
My home value went to under 95K 2 years after I bought it in 2007 during the housing crisis. It finally climbed back to 250K and kind of stayed there.
They built brand new 1 to 2 million dollar homes all around my house, literally there is a single wall that separates a million dollar home to my south and a 4 lane street that separate brand new 2 million houses to my west. On the positive side of that ... with home there, their are way less crazies going behind my house to do shit in the desert at night, people use to take drugs, create big fires, yell like crazy and ATV at 3 am like all the time during summer. One really f*ed up time a guy parked behind our house and shot his daughter and then himself, he had killed wife earlier in the day and had been driving around with her dead body in the car not knowing what to do... Anyway now it's way more quiet but occasionally those houses are like air BNB party houses, lots of parties during the pandemic in those houses, but they are build well so the sound is muffled well. But yeah, my property value is now 500K because of all that, so it gets way harder to complain. and they keep stuff clean and the crazies away.
You did a great job showing how little you actually know about Las Vegas. Southern Highlands, is not a gated community you can drive right in from both ends and a few places in the middle. There are gated communities within Southern Highlands however. The richest neighborhoods in Las Vegas are obviously the ridges in summerlin, the country club in Henderson the fountains in Henderson and Ascaya in Henderson and McDonald’s highlands in Henderson. Oh yeah, and Lake Las Vegas…also in Henderson.
lol. And Rhodes Ranch is on the lower end of guard gated communities. Sky Canyon where I live there are gated communities but NO guard gated communities. And Centennial Hospital is just a Public Hospital on a main road (Durango). But correct, the Ridges are spectacular, and it is no surprise Mark Wahlberg put up close to $30 million to buy land and a home. Even Spanish Trails is nicer than Rhodes Ranch where Andre Agassi, Greg Maddux live and the first time Ben and Jlo got married bought a house there. lol
Well sounds like we are heading in this direction. This is what its like in 3rd world countries. The rich are behind walls. I guess no homeless encampments to deal with.
I think you got one of the most inexperienced realtors to speak with you. We do have areas that have even more expensive homes. Like Black mountain.
I agree!
Fancy over here on the west side of town near the mountains. Many gated communities but I would have loved to go to school here with the mountains in the background
Amazing how much water are needed to water their lawn & garden in desert drought
…huh… wait list for the golf club memberships.., while 2 of the golf clubs closest to my home, are basically almost public clubs .., starting to advertise on radio, and billboards, hoping ppl join. wow, wasn’t like that 5 years ago.
The guest said “mini government.” I love it that he didn’t sugar coat it.
I live in Las Vegas spending my time in Red Rock Canyon - Hiking most afternoons and weekend mornings. It's usually 10-15 degrees cooler, there's water back in the Canyons. Then, I drive back to life normal to my gated community where we both work home-based. Same neighbors since 2009. Bot when these 5k sq ft homes were $275k during the crash. Now these are over $1 million. One thing we don't have a lot of is lawns. Just in the common area. All but 2 of 20 homes have total desertscape.
Omg I wish I was rich to live in a beautiful community like this in Las Vegas.
$600,000 for one of these houses! In NYC that pays for a closet!
The houses look very close to each other - I would think people would want to have more space in between houses . Thumbs up!
@@JShawnPaul I owned a home in the Southwest part of town that was fairly close to Souther Highlands, and let me tell you how close the homes were spaced apart. Roughly 6’ from house to retaining wall. You could literally spit out of your window and hit your neighbor on their property. Very close like army barracks, and no backyards unless you paid a premium.
That’s the way it is. These developers buy an acreage and create these communities. Even driving out further you see houses basically on top of each other in the middle of nowhere.
Did 10 years in Vegas/Henderson. GVR! Loved it. Thanks for the video.
What does GVR mean? Please
@@barbredgreen3403 Green Valley Ranch
More than 7,000 people from California are moving to Las Vegas, Nevada- om a weekly basis.
but, everybody hated paying HOA fees..
I just left Las Vegas to move to The Charlotte suburbs in North Carolina. I like it better in NC. Las Vegas was turning into California and I couldn’t take it anymore. I left Summerlin.
Nick and Jacob together! Great video. And I work in Southern Highlands!
Cool Bryan!
Hi Nick! All the best to you.
Very nice, and the landscaping, and trees are awesome.
When I lived in Vegas 62-76, the saying was Henderson Stinks. I remember one of the big chemical fires in Henderson.
Not anymore
Southern Highlands is not a gated community, it's a master plan in which there are some gated communities.There are also communities that are not gated. The most prestigious are guard gated communities. Same with Summerlin or Seven Hills and Green Valley Ranch.
WOMAN REALTORS ARE ALWAYS THE LOUDEST IN THE ROOM!!
I was expecting avg price for house to be a lot higher than that, I live in small town in eastern EU and in good neighborhood houses like that are around 400-800k€.
This is a great video. I can’t wait to watch the next one!
Imagine how much water a golf course in the desert, and all that green must consume.
That realtor/interviewee probably makes some serious bank selling houses in that part of Vegas.
Great Videos! i hope there's more to come
Lol you guys are so funny some of the $1400 a month try for a small apartment being $1400 a month now Originally came from California too But a 4 long time ago and my house is paid off now To be honest the only thing I fear is that some of the California people that I ran away from are going to bring their disgusting policies here and destroy Vegas too😓
are you f u.c. ing kidding me! Nevada, has legal whore houses! and gambling that's why it's called sin city. please get your priorities straight.
Water? Who needs water?
Water those lawns!
Frank what about planet earth??? 🌎
If you're visiting Columbus ohio this weekend. Saturday high around 30 with brisk winds&flurries. Sunday highs around 40& dont forget to turn clocks forward Saturday night before going to bed.
The masters of the city .
Born n raised here we are not just a fast life, we are more then that n Las Vegas Strip. My dad owns a home on Las Vegas Hilton golf course it's the best security gated community ever. Also violence is everywhere n we don't tax food groceries like a lot of states do. Summerlin has had major break ins in the last two months it's been bad. Cali n NY. Is where their coming from.
My aunt and uncle lived in Rancho Circle, back in the fifties....that was considered high-end then
While it's crazy in cost, $600k for one of these homes really isn't that bad. You should see the tiny and crappy houses here in Oregon for close to that cost; I paid $99k for my house and it's twice the size of most of these expensive homes.
These aren't the $600k homes.
Wow I didn’t know that about So. High!! Def going to ask my mom to move me there! There’s probably so many rich cats there 🐱✨
Not so cheap anymore, things are getting more expensive & also heat gets worse and worse every year ,but hey it’s all at your risk ..also if you plan to move here ..be prepared for a lot of skin cancer due to the sun :) good luck !!
Its green in that neighborhood. Why isnt it green in the neighborhood around the strip and downtown that i drove through?
Thanks for tour!
I lived in Summerlin and Centinnial Hills and I know a lot of people who have lived in Southern Highlands it is definitely priceyyyy
The ridges, anthem country club, Olympia ridge and a few more.
My girl friend and I went to Las Vegas and it's ok if you stay with the crowd but there's to many people for me..glad when we touch down back in Georgia..
I absolutely loved this video the way you drove through the neighbourhood to see all these houses literally looks like heaven I hope someday 🙏 I can afford one
Yo you can buy up land away from the city and Build those same structures and texture for much less
$600k? Best you can get for that price here in California is a 1 bedroom condo or a double-wide
California is a lost cause!!
@Erin
In some parts of California(Los Angeles particularly), you can buy a nice 5bd home for less than $500k.The reason why homes are so expensive in California as a whole is because it's one of the easiest states to make millions of dollars.
@CC. LL @CC. LL I agree with everything you said. People in California always complain about the cost of living and these same exact individuals don't realize why it's so expensive to live there in the first place. 1: Great job opportunities, 2: Weather, 3: Beaches, 4: High minimum wage, 5: High demand(capitalism), 6: High taxes, 7: Theme parks, 8:Theatres, 9: National parks, etc.
@@IIII...... interesting how? Lol I’m trying and I’m in school
There are houses like that in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson.
nice! looks like L.A neighborhoods!😮
Absolutely beautiful and very clean planned, gated community/neighborhood.
MacDonald Highlands. Is the most expensive place to live, a renowned guard-gated community in Henderson, NV. It includes Dragonridge which is the most expensive property in Vegas.
Excellent Las Vegas video. Happy Holidays from our channel: Australian Parakeets Stars
What holiday?
Love the videos can u do more on other states, Los Angeles, Miami New York, Texas, Toronto, thanks
To keep things that green they must water daily. I am sure the water bills in these communities must be high and that they have extensive sprinkler systems
Have beautiful area! I sure enjoy the video. Are there any 55 and older communities there? I think I would prefer that type of living.
Yes we have quite a few 55plus areas but they aren't cheap. Especially the newer ones.
I am in 55+ Siena Summerlin So. 22 yrs - love it
this is my community I love SH
