When I’m considering moving to a new area, I always go into a grocery store or Walmart there during peak shopping hours to check out the people. That’ll usually give you a rough estimate of how well you’ll fit in there.
I was going this one walmart full of mutants and then decided to try another one near by...full of soccer moms driving 50k cars wearing yoga pants drinking starbucks. So make sure you check them all out lol.
Ellie J As someone who is 3rd generation born & raised in Las Vegas, NV: Stop referring to “Las Vegas” as a state or area. “Las Vegas” is technically zoned just for the strip. All the other “cities” you mentioned such as Green Valley, Summerlin, Boulder City, Aliente, etc are not the same, but they’re ALL located in “Clark County” such as the city of “Las Vegas”. That’s why they have all there own police force/firemen.
Lived in Vegas almost my entire life. I moved to Peccole Ranch which is next to Summerlin. It's my perfect community as far as I'm concerned. It has a bunch of walking paths, it's location is absolute perfection(close to public library, non-casino movie theatre, good freeway access, great shopping, great eating). I've never been a fan of Henderson because the roads seem so much more congested than the West side of Vegas. I don't know why but it seems more claustrophobic to me.
I've lived in vegas mostly on the north and east side for 20 years. North las vegas has way more crime. But as long as you protect your belongings and respect everyone it's okay. But constantly worrying about your house, cars, and things gets stressful. East side is lax but my neighbors would have their houses broken into all the time. Henderson is the best. No worries there. Historical Westside, paradise, naked city (around stratosphere), and old east side (around downtown to boulder highway) are just as bad. Basically the valley is hood. The surrounding areas are nice.
I lived in Paradise for over 30 years on 1/4 acre and a 2500 sq ft house. This location saves me tons of money. Less than 2 miles from the strip. Gas to get to work and drive the area is 50 bucks a month v my sister who lives in Henderson spends over 300 a month in gas now. My grandson walks to the University. Hundreds of restaurants surrounds my house. We walk to the store. Uber to the airport because it is so close. My aging parents take their scooter. Nobody bothers us. Crime is everywhere if you look it up. It's about awareness too. I wouldn't move from this area. It is too convenient. If I had the money to buy a new house, I would likely just remodel this one because the location is so great.
North ain’t that bad if you’re North of Craig at least. I live off Craig and Clayton and it’s not bad. Yes it’s a very “urban” area but I don’t worry much about crime in my little gated community. There’s like 2 homeless guys that are chill who live around the area. Just don’t live east of the 15 or south of Craig and it’s just quiet, boring suburbia
Just caught this and your Henderson neighborhood video. Love that you just speak facts about the different areas...huge help to someone looking to relocate there. Great stuff, and you've got a new subber!
When it comes to crime rates, they do it in such a way to compare how many crimes occur to how many people live in an area. There's actually more crime in California than in Nevada, but since there's so many more people in California than in Nevada, the crime rate is considered to be less.
Summerlin Silverado Ranch Centennial Hills Henderson Enterprise Those are some good areas (Anywhere in the southern side is nice) I’d stay away from The north and east side
Eastside and paradise area has it's nice areas as well. Just hidden and low-key. Anthem is another good location. Lake Las Vegas in Henderson a must see. Too many choices to chose from.
I miss living in Vegas. What a strange and amazing town. So small. I loved living there but after 8 years it started getting to my head, so I moved back home. I still find myself missing it a lot though. Great experience

For those of you that are easily spooked or looking for that 100% safe place to live, just stay where you are because it doesn't exist. Eventually, you'll have to venture out of your little enclave, unless you plan on being a hermit. Living life takes risks.

Guard gated, get gun and CCW, have a front and back vehicle dash cam, have hidden cameras in your house, trust no one, everyone is trying to hustle everyone, cannot say it enough trust no one!
Most goods and services are actually higher than the national average in Las Vegas. Garage door repair, AC repair and appliance repair is ridiculous. Ripoffs.

Hellz yeah!!! Same here!!! Super excited and can't wait!!! Since high school I have wanted to live in Vegas. Its only taken me what, 15 years lol but Hey I'm bout to do it baby!!!! Good luck to you and your move!!!
Las Vegas Unfiltered issue with the higher income people is they associate all working class people with crime. Most working class neighborhoods are safe, it’s just average joes working hard for the family.
I live on the West Side of town near the Lakes/Summerlin area I really like it here close enough to everything but far enough from the less desirable stuff.
I was raised on the eastside of vegas on treeline and charleston area vegas is my hometown im moving back in a yr been away for 17 yrs im ready to go back home
When your cruising through town and there is garbage on the ground, the grass is all brown it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what part of town your in. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
North and South is sperated by the strip? The strip runs North/South. Address numbering wise, North South is divided by Charleston but I would say true North starts further North.
I am moving to Las Vegas in just over a month and it has been very difficult to learn about neighborhoods. I am applying for a few apartments (sight unseen) monday, and I am hoping for the best. But since all the apartments I am applying for are in the places you said are good, this made me feel much more confident about it. Love the channel, already watched 4 of your videos and about to watch another. Glad I found you !!!!!!
you can rent weekly places until you get to tour in person. the weekly places don't have a lease or anything like that and don't care about credit, like budget suites or siegel suites
@@ericacuevas2301 I thought about that if worse comes to worse. I think I found a pretty safe looking place between Summerlin and Centennial Hills. I hope I made a good choice lol. Videos like this one are very helpful. I an going to sign a 9 month lease so that I can get to know the area better once I am there and hopefully then I will be able to get a place for a little less per month, but at least it seems like I will be in a safe place
You are such a delight , Thank you for this very informative video, I feel I"ve gained so much valuable information on were I should be looking to rent in Las Vegas , Thanks so much..
Great information! It's true as a realtor we are not allowed to "steer" people into certain areas and neighborhoods to buy. Drive through the neighborhood that you are interested in both during the day and night to explore the vibe.
To anyone house hunting: Always be sure to go stake the neighborhood out at night. I looked at some cute places over on the east side that seemed awesome during the day. I went back at night to stake the place out a bit and it had really bad vibes and I felt unsafe. I almost put an offer on it too!
Thanks so much for this ! It was very helpful. I used to stay in Henderson before I moved and I’m moving back next month so thank you for making this video!
Hi there! Thanks for making this video. I personally bought a home near the Air Force Base and I freaking love it. I'm in Sunrise Manor, it is quiet, nice neighborhood, and super convenient to many stores. It's interesting that you didn't give concrete examples as to why you wouldn't recommend that side of town. I would love to hear more.
Sunrise Manor is not all bad. If you go about 2 miles East of Nellis BLVD, Sunrise Manor has lots of rentals and if you take Charleston to Hollywood those homes rang from 400,000 into homes in the millions!!!! I suggest driving that way before you say all of Sunrise Manor is bad. The East side of Sunrise Manor is beautiful and the west side of Sunrise Manor is much closer to the middle of Las Vegas so of course there is a lot of homeless people around that area and high crime. The farther you get away from the strip the nicer it is but yes, it’s more convenient if you live close to a freeway.
Their exist no homes in the "Millions" in sunrise manor. There maybe like a handful that cost around a million in the entire township, high end developers soon stopped after they realized it was a mistake to put high end properties in a low income part of town. Not saying that it is a bad part of town, it is just a more affordable living working class part of town. Northeast is heavily populated by the latinos or hispanics. Lots of hispanic food stores and restaurants on this side of town.
I used to live in “Casa Royal” on Flamingo long ago. It was a fantastic place to live. 2 bedrooms for $400 a month. It was so quiet you never heard a peep, never. The Rebels were the highest scoring Division 1 college basketball team in the country. North Carolina knocked them out of the tournament.
I’ve lived in enterprise/Southwest are of Las Vegas and would never move out of that area! It’s close to the 215, lots of housing n apartment options, lots of retail n good restaurants, pretty safe area, and pretty close to everything! 20 mins to Summerlin, 15 mins to Chinatown, 15 mins from the strip, 30-40 is usually the farthest I have to drive if I’m trynna go somewhere super East or north
I'm from Detroit plan in moving to Vegas next year,..... Me and my fiance been watching videos for YEARRRRRS and I must say yours is THEE BEST ONE THUS FAR...... I love the maps on your video, it helps me with the area. Btw I'm 44 yrs old ..... I'm subscribing NOW!!!! only thing I would've like is more CASINO references in the areas you were talking about. 💯💯💯
Hello fellow content creator lol. I know this is an old video and I'm sure (and also have been told) things/properties/neighborhoods have developed since this upload. But anyways, I moved to LV just under 2 years ago and still exploring. This video did give me some information I didn't know about, especially since I'm looking to buy a house here I around 2024 ish so it's good to research and prepare. Thank you for making this video!
Impossible to do a video on this subject. Go on Zillow or Redfin and you will quickly start to see where the houses are and what they cost. You will see cheap more rundown housing in N. Las Vegas. You will see upscale housing in Lake Las Vegas, Summerlin and Red Rock. Henderson is the hottest growth for California expats.
I went to Summerlin last year and this New Year to see some family and wow all the landmines at the park. People just dont pick up after the dogs they own, and I'm talking alot of landmines.
WHat did you end up deciding? I'm heading back there to condo hunt in a few weeks. I'm hoping for Summerlin but I'm pretty poor so I'll probably have to live somewhere more ghetto lol I'm open to wherever is affordable and feels chill.
@@unbezo398 the south west side and no regrets honestly just got super lucky with a perfect roommate and a convenient job! I’m glad I did it or els I’d be stuck in my little home town
Lived in Summerlin for a year, depending on where you work freeway location is over rated. The 15 runs next to the Strip, it’s not a parking lot. It close, the 515 runs around the East side of Vegas & the 215 is on the West. If your working on or near the Strip, traffic can be an issue.
The paradise area goes from Sahara to Serene which is a 13 mile long stretch. Below the airport is much safer than north. There is a Neighborhood app you can put on your phone and also call the insurance company to see what neighborhood is the safest ones. I live at Paradise & Warm Springs and we have just about zero crime. Go down Warm Spring between Spenser and Eastern and the crime jumps. So do your homework.
The big hint for me, while searching for places was bars on every single window and door of the house....umm NOPE!!! I don't want any bars on my windows... BTW thanks for the good info. I am 2 months away from the big move from Utah to las Vegas, and I am SOOO EXCITED!!! Yet terrified at the same time. I have never packed up my family and my entire life and moved out of state. But I'm positive and pumped and will just be as prepared as possible 😎👍
The East Side is very underrated. it’s a GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ! and There’s a Great Church on the East Side. Victory Outreach East Las Vegas. Very Great Church
I look to moving in the Enterprise (SW) and Lone Mountain areas. Henderson is a little to far from the central Vegas area for me. When I got lost once I ended up in the MLK/15 area. We came to a stoplight and it was super sketchy, I told my friend if anyone approaches the car I’m running this red light. I’ve walked the streets of south central LA and this seemed worse, could be I’m was just older.
I have a question... I've been looking for a place close to the mountains and with a view of the valley... how about N Hollywood Blvd and it's surroundings??? Or is there any othere area like that one????
I think Summerlin/Red Rock area might be good for you. I love the mountain views over there. Or Lone Mountain area. There are parts of Henderson that have great mountain views too!
What about the Art District? Is that reasonable $800 for a modern studio apartment? Also, is there good public transportation in this area where the medical center is located?
Just found your video - We are about to, March 2021, move from England to Las Vegas. We have visited a few times and originally we were going to move to San Jose, Cali. However due to the pandemic we have considered living somewhere more cheap for a year. We are primarily looking at Henderson, due to lower crime rate.
San Jose is a beautiful area with a lot to offer. The brokenness of the California state government has driven the price to live in CA to the moon. California's population is declining. That means the $3million you pay for an average home in San Jose will drop over the next decade All the billionaires have left or are leaving (Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, etc.). Since over 50% of california's taxes have been paid by the billionaires...you have to wonder who IS going to pay the taxes. It costs 4x as much to lay a mile of highway in CA as in TX. Why? Graft and corruption. I urge you to appreciate CA the way we all do via taking trips there from some nice place that is affordable like Vegas. I'm a CA native, I still work in CA, but have rented a place in Vegas. Tired of getting shafted by criminal fascists mistakenly called representatives or public officials.
thank you for these videos. im moving here at the end of the year and saw insanely cheap rent prices in certain parts of vegas now i know why lol. henderson seems like its worth the extra $400 a month n0w
Hi, great video. I would like to know how is Green Valley Ranch North or South is? I have my eyes on this area, because I want to have everything within walking distance. Also they’re telling to look intoAnthem. Please let me know what your opinion is on these places or any other. Thanks!
Sandra Cordero green valley ranch is very nice and there is lots of stuff in walking distant. I love it over there. I think some of the homes are a bit older.
Good video, very insightful. What do you think of condos like One Queensridge Place and places like Turnberry Place and Turnberry Towers? Besides them being “expensive”. And would you recommend one living there is one could afford it?
Thank you! I've never been to either of those places, but Queensridge place is in a great part of town. I used to live near there and really enjoyed having close access to places like Tivoli Village and Boca Park. So from that perspective, yes! I would recommend living there if high-rises are what you're looking for. Turnberry Towers seem like a neat experience as well. Even though it's basically on the Strip, I feel like that little area is one of the quieter parts of it. So if you want to be in the middle of the Strip and Downtown, that's not a bad option.
Its driving me nuts watch so many different videos I dont have a car will be working at Casino I'm looking for safe complex area by the strip. I have a NINEBOT scooter that gets me everywhere which I will be bringing with me. Please where can I live outside the strip quiet safe where I can scooter to the strip
i leave my house only for a few things, i grocery shop online, i order most of my stuff from Amazon, i have a hybrid car so only need gas 1 time a month, only go outside to eat sometimes and maybe play a little poker....but im retired....
Wish I would have watched this before moving here! It was hard to get any good info from my realtor. He seemed to think every place was fine lol. Now I’m stuck in the middle of north Las Vegas, on the border of where it gets ghetto. 12 mins from any freeway in all directions. Wish I was either closer to centennial or Summerlin. I work on the north east side though so I wanted a short commute
Must check at night…you can see how loud neighbors will be…especially on holiday and weekend. Also best time to go is during rainy season….you’ll know where the prone to flood parts are
as someone who lived there for 3 years, I pretty much concur. Basically the farther from the strip you live (east, west, northwest, and south), the better. I lived around UNLV and had my bicycles stolen at least 7 times (even with heavy chains and padlocks on them) and my car broken into once (I miss that leather jacket). I'd hear gunshots maybe once a month, and generally encounter aggressive bums at night on odd occasions. The only worse areas I would say are up by Nellis and Downtown (around Fremont Street, particularly the bus station). Being actually on Fremont is okay, but just 1-2 blocks away is a nexus of Vegas's mentally ill and burnt-out degenerates. So be expecting to encounter plenty of shady characters if you go near that area. Keep in mind my information is mostly 15-20 years old. :)
@@millievg1430 I didn't make it up there much, but generally it seemed nicer and more Suburbian on the western side of the 95 up there (Summerlin especially).
I’ve seriously been loving these videos! I’m (hopefully!!!) moving to Vegas at the end of this year from NY and I’m literally clueless LOL. My bf’s from Vegas too (Henderson) and he says a lot of the things you have!
The thing I did not like is all the dog landmines at the park. People obviously dont pick up after there dogs. I have not seen that many even in California.
Okay hello sunshine, I was wondering to just the southwest side or downtown area had a good bus lines! And is it hard to find an apartment in Las Vegas that allows smoking? I know a lot of people are against smokers, but I would appreciate the information if you know an area that allows smoking let's not totally in a bad area
Sandra Cordero general rule of thumb is if it’s a master planned community (ex. Summerlin, Skye Canyon in NW, Rhodes Ranch, Southern Highlands), there’s also a special Improvement district (SID) or limited improvement district (LID) fee on top of mortgage, property tax, insurance, and HOA. Gated community will likely have higher HOA, esp in newer developments, but HOAs vary from one community to the next depending on what amenities they offer (clubhouse, manicured landscaping/walking paths, etc. Much older homes likely won’t have HOAs though.
I am looking to move to Vegas from Pittsburgh, PA in the next 2 years. I make enough to live comfortably with the money I have coming in, however, I was wondering how much I would need to move out there initially? I want to be comfortable with touching my monthly income. How mus to live for the first 2 years? weekly? monthly? yearly? $250,000-500,000 to move out and get settled for 2 years? more? less? please respond, I can't get an honest answer!!!
That’s a pretty person level question to answer when you think about it…, if you are renting, buying, leasing and what kinda day to day life you want…, omg.😳
sunshinedelights- would you raise a family in or near las vegas?why or why not and lastly if you were to move because of your family to what area? thanks
Thank u I watched this video 09/19 I moved to Henderson frm Philadelphia on my birthday 02/04/2020 almost 4 months now and I love it thanks again it was because u shared helped me in my decision

What are the most diverse parts of Vegas? I’m filipino & grew up in LA so diversity is really important to me in a place to live. I’m moving to Vegas in a couple months!
I would check out the SW part of town or Silverado Ranch area! Lots of awesome, diverse restaurants and local business. Seafood City and Island Pacific Seafood Market not too far off either :)
I live in Henderson ,Fothills near to lake las vegas it’s very quite and safe ,but I have live in the east side too 👊🏻 much more hispanic food for me 😋
When I’m considering moving to a new area, I always go into a grocery store or Walmart there during peak shopping hours to check out the people. That’ll usually give you a rough estimate of how well you’ll fit in there.
That's a great idea!

Downtown Fremont is a poor area when you wander away from the main area.
😂😂😂 Streets with a letter. D Street for real lol
Don't live downtown..."great advice"...moron.

Nice in that order?
Paradise really isn’t that bad of an area! It’s pretty quiet, it’s not super built up as some places, but it’s genuinely nice

Kinda depends on which part. Definitely some rough areas. Some really nice neighborhoods south/east of the airport though

When your cruising through town and there is garbage on the ground, the grass is all brown it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what part of town your in. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want specifics though.
Amen
It doesn't take one to leave an idiotic comment, either, apparently.
East side
@@lightfighter685 put p
North and South is sperated by the strip? The strip runs North/South. Address numbering wise, North South is divided by Charleston but I would say true North starts further North.
I am moving to Las Vegas in just over a month and it has been very difficult to learn about neighborhoods. I am applying for a few apartments (sight unseen) monday, and I am hoping for the best. But since all the apartments I am applying for are in the places you said are good, this made me feel much more confident about it. Love the channel, already watched 4 of your videos and about to watch another. Glad I found you !!!!!!
Aw, thank you so much for the kindness and support!! I am really glad I can help in some way, best of luck with moving and getting an apartment!
you can rent weekly places until you get to tour in person. the weekly places don't have a lease or anything like that and don't care about credit, like budget suites or siegel suites
@@ericacuevas2301 I thought about that if worse comes to worse. I think I found a pretty safe looking place between Summerlin and Centennial Hills. I hope I made a good choice lol. Videos like this one are very helpful. I an going to sign a 9 month lease so that I can get to know the area better once I am there and hopefully then I will be able to get a place for a little less per month, but at least it seems like I will be in a safe place
Stay clear of any apartments on or near the strip.
The weekly places are generally located in the rundown parts of town. Almost all are shitholes. I’d choose vey wisely.
You are such a delight , Thank you for this very informative video, I feel I"ve gained so much valuable information on were I should be looking to rent in Las Vegas , Thanks so much..
Great information! It's true as a realtor we are not allowed to "steer" people into certain areas and neighborhoods to buy. Drive through the neighborhood that you are interested in both during the day and night to explore the vibe.
Depending on what area in North Las Vegas you move to can be bad
Looking forward to the Henderson video!
Thank you. Good information to get started with!
To anyone house hunting: Always be sure to go stake the neighborhood out at night. I looked at some cute places over on the east side that seemed awesome during the day. I went back at night to stake the place out a bit and it had really bad vibes and I felt unsafe. I almost put an offer on it too!
Not a bad tip at all! I can totally see that
Yup always go look at night. Alot of Neighborhoods are quite in the mornings but afternoon and night all the ghetto people come out.
Another note ...Eastside las vegas is bad. I would never live over there. Thats coming from a guy from North Las Vegas
Thanks so much for this ! It was very helpful. I used to stay in Henderson before I moved and I’m moving back next month so thank you for making this video!
Naya Alexandra did you like Henderson?
Hi there! Thanks for making this video. I personally bought a home near the Air Force Base and I freaking love it. I'm in Sunrise Manor, it is quiet, nice neighborhood, and super convenient to many stores. It's interesting that you didn't give concrete examples as to why you wouldn't recommend that side of town. I would love to hear more.
A lot of the areas on that side of town are older and there’s much more crime. East side is revitalizing, but it has a lot of work to do
It was unfair that she said “there isn’t any good part of that area”. Because places like Sunrise Manor are revitalizing with new homes
Sunrise Manor is not all bad. If you go about 2 miles East of Nellis BLVD, Sunrise Manor has lots of rentals and if you take Charleston to Hollywood those homes rang from 400,000 into homes in the millions!!!! I suggest driving that way before you say all of Sunrise Manor is bad. The East side of Sunrise Manor is beautiful and the west side of Sunrise Manor is much closer to the middle of Las Vegas so of course there is a lot of homeless people around that area and high crime. The farther you get away from the strip the nicer it is but yes, it’s more convenient if you live close to a freeway.
Their exist no homes in the "Millions" in sunrise manor. There maybe like a handful that cost around a million in the entire township, high end developers soon stopped after they realized it was a mistake to put high end properties in a low income part of town. Not saying that it is a bad part of town, it is just a more affordable living working class part of town. Northeast is heavily populated by the latinos or hispanics. Lots of hispanic food stores and restaurants on this side of town.
@Cyclonex1CA ca Hi neighbor!
I used to live in “Casa Royal” on Flamingo long ago. It was a fantastic place to live. 2 bedrooms for $400 a month. It was so quiet you never heard a peep, never. The Rebels were the highest scoring Division 1 college basketball team in the country. North Carolina knocked them out of the tournament.
I’ve lived in enterprise/Southwest are of Las Vegas and would never move out of that area! It’s close to the 215, lots of housing n apartment options, lots of retail n good restaurants, pretty safe area, and pretty close to everything! 20 mins to Summerlin, 15 mins to Chinatown, 15 mins from the strip, 30-40 is usually the farthest I have to drive if I’m trynna go somewhere super East or north
@Courtni B I’ve actually lived in both! Reno’s good if you like more “small college town”, nature, and quick drive to norcal! less diverse though
Good info, thanks for the video! We’re moving to Henderson next week from Alaska!
That's going to be quite the scenery change!! I've always wanted to go to Alaska. Best of luck with your move, thanks for the kind comments!
I’m planning on retiring in Spanish trail, play9hole golf bc they have 27 hole semi private golf course there and homes are nice!!
I'm from Detroit plan in moving to Vegas next year,..... Me and my fiance been watching videos for YEARRRRRS and I must say yours is THEE BEST ONE THUS FAR...... I love the maps on your video, it helps me with the area. Btw I'm 44 yrs old ..... I'm subscribing NOW!!!! only thing I would've like is more CASINO references in the areas you were talking about. 💯💯💯
Watch some more, I've seen a lot better from realtors
Hello fellow content creator lol. I know this is an old video and I'm sure (and also have been told) things/properties/neighborhoods have developed since this upload. But anyways, I moved to LV just under 2 years ago and still exploring. This video did give me some information I didn't know about, especially since I'm looking to buy a house here I around 2024 ish so it's good to research and prepare. Thank you for making this video!
Impossible to do a video on this subject. Go on Zillow or Redfin and you will quickly start to see where the houses are and what they cost. You will see cheap more rundown housing in N. Las Vegas. You will see upscale housing in Lake Las Vegas, Summerlin and Red Rock. Henderson is the hottest growth for California expats.
Any update version for 2023?
I went to Summerlin last year and this New Year to see some family and wow all the landmines at the park. People just dont pick up after the dogs they own, and I'm talking alot of landmines.
Am happy I came across this video because am moving to Vegas soon but been hard trying to figure out where thank you
Henderson is paradise I just moved here frm philly on my birthday 02/2020 u can't help but fall n love with da landscape around here omg
WHat did you end up deciding? I'm heading back there to condo hunt in a few weeks. I'm hoping for Summerlin but I'm pretty poor so I'll probably have to live somewhere more ghetto lol I'm open to wherever is affordable and feels chill.
You do a great job explaining the areas!
Seems the comments have it figured out as well
I’m a big fan of
No HOAs
No apartments
WATCHED THIS A YEAR AFO AND NOW I LIVE HERE!!!
So how you like it so far??
@@Norma00ful It’s just okay, I’ve been working from home through the entire lock down... not the vegas experience I was expecting
@@julioruelasorozco Do you have regrets?😕 what part of Nevada?
@@unbezo398 the south west side and no regrets honestly just got super lucky with a perfect roommate and a convenient job! I’m glad I did it or els I’d be stuck in my little home town
Sunshine, I really enjoyed your video! Today is the first time I've seen a video of yours keep up the good work
Sunny,
I’m looking at a place in Silverado Ranch. Is that a good part of town to be in?
Great video and thank you for putting this info out!
Tom
Lived in Summerlin for a year, depending on where you work freeway location is over rated. The 15 runs next to the Strip, it’s not a parking lot. It close, the 515 runs around the East side of Vegas & the 215 is on the West. If your working on or near the Strip, traffic can be an issue.
The paradise area goes from Sahara to Serene which is a 13 mile long stretch. Below the airport is much safer than north. There is a Neighborhood app you can put on your phone and also call the insurance company to see what neighborhood is the safest ones. I live at Paradise & Warm Springs and we have just about zero crime. Go down Warm Spring between Spenser and Eastern and the crime jumps. So do your homework.
What's the name of that app. You mentioned
Love ur channel! I also live in Vegas, maybe we can collaborate ? 😍💕 new subscriber here, hope we can support each other!
The big hint for me, while searching for places was bars on every single window and door of the house....umm NOPE!!! I don't want any bars on my windows... BTW thanks for the good info. I am 2 months away from the big move from Utah to las Vegas, and I am SOOO EXCITED!!! Yet terrified at the same time. I have never packed up my family and my entire life and moved out of state. But I'm positive and pumped and will just be as prepared as possible 😎👍
Thank you for sharing all the great information Sunshine 😊 any suggestions on apartments for active adults 😊
The East Side is very underrated. it’s a GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ! and There’s a Great Church on the East Side. Victory Outreach East Las Vegas. Very Great Church
Good job , I love your video .
Please what place is safe to live in Nevada between Las Vegas and Henderson .
Your reply is appreciated .
Thanks for the video. What do you think of east downtown multifamily ? is that getting better or not given the revitalization of downtown?
Hi Sunshine, What do think about near the golf course??? DJW
I look to moving in the Enterprise (SW) and Lone Mountain areas. Henderson is a little to far from the central Vegas area for me. When I got lost once I ended up in the MLK/15 area. We came to a stoplight and it was super sketchy, I told my friend if anyone approaches the car I’m running this red light. I’ve walked the streets of south central LA and this seemed worse, could be I’m was just older.
I have a question... I've been looking for a place close to the mountains and with a view of the valley... how about N Hollywood Blvd and it's surroundings???
Or is there any othere area like that one????
I think Summerlin/Red Rock area might be good for you. I love the mountain views over there. Or Lone Mountain area. There are parts of Henderson that have great mountain views too!
Thanks for the info. We are planning to visit to look at areas to move to and your video has really helped.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the unbiased information. video liked; Channel subscribed. Will be catching up on the videos.
What about the Art District? Is that reasonable $800 for a modern studio apartment? Also, is there good public transportation in this area where the medical center is located?
Just found your video - We are about to, March 2021, move from England to Las Vegas. We have visited a few times and originally we were going to move to San Jose, Cali. However due to the pandemic we have considered living somewhere more cheap for a year. We are primarily looking at Henderson, due to lower crime rate.
San Jose is a beautiful area with a lot to offer. The brokenness of the California state government has driven the price to live in CA to the moon. California's population is declining. That means the $3million you pay for an average home in San Jose will drop over the next decade All the billionaires have left or are leaving (Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, etc.). Since over 50% of california's taxes have been paid by the billionaires...you have to wonder who IS going to pay the taxes. It costs 4x as much to lay a mile of highway in CA as in TX. Why? Graft and corruption. I urge you to appreciate CA the way we all do via taking trips there from some nice place that is affordable like Vegas. I'm a CA native, I still work in CA, but have rented a place in Vegas. Tired of getting shafted by criminal fascists mistakenly called representatives or public officials.
I couldn't be happier living in McDonald ranch. I love the tranquility
Anything between Between Craig and the 215 and North 5th and Pecos, I would avoid.
thank you for these videos. im moving here at the end of the year and saw insanely cheap rent prices in certain parts of vegas now i know why lol. henderson seems like its worth the extra $400 a month n0w
Hi, great video. I would like to know how is Green Valley Ranch North or South is? I have my eyes on this area, because I want to have everything within walking distance. Also they’re telling to look intoAnthem. Please let me know what your opinion is on these places or any other. Thanks!
Sandra Cordero green valley ranch is very nice and there is lots of stuff in walking distant. I love it over there. I think some of the homes are a bit older.
Usually nothing is walking distance in vegas unless you're in a central area. These areas are usually the older neighborhoods. Green valley is nice.
Thank you Latasha for responding👍😍
Good video, very insightful.
What do you think of condos like One Queensridge Place and places like Turnberry Place and Turnberry Towers? Besides them being “expensive”. And would you recommend one living there is one could afford it?
Thank you!
I've never been to either of those places, but Queensridge place is in a great part of town. I used to live near there and really enjoyed having close access to places like Tivoli Village and Boca Park. So from that perspective, yes! I would recommend living there if high-rises are what you're looking for.
Turnberry Towers seem like a neat experience as well. Even though it's basically on the Strip, I feel like that little area is one of the quieter parts of it. So if you want to be in the middle of the Strip and Downtown, that's not a bad option.
Thanks for the informative video! I look forward to moving to Las vegas!
Its driving me nuts watch so many different videos I dont have a car will be working at Casino I'm looking for safe complex area by the strip. I have a NINEBOT scooter that gets me everywhere which I will be bringing with me. Please where can I live outside the strip quiet safe where I can scooter to the strip
i leave my house only for a few things, i grocery shop online, i order most of my stuff from Amazon, i have a hybrid car so only need gas 1 time a month, only go outside to eat sometimes and maybe play a little poker....but im retired....
Thank you for this video. It really helped. Trying to move to Nevada by end of 2023
Wish I would have watched this before moving here! It was hard to get any good info from my realtor. He seemed to think every place was fine lol. Now I’m stuck in the middle of north Las Vegas, on the border of where it gets ghetto. 12 mins from any freeway in all directions. Wish I was either closer to centennial or Summerlin. I work on the north east side though so I wanted a short commute
Must check at night…you can see how loud neighbors will be…especially on holiday and weekend. Also best time to go is during rainy season….you’ll know where the prone to flood parts are
how often does it really rain out dere doe?? genuinely asking
as someone who lived there for 3 years, I pretty much concur. Basically the farther from the strip you live (east, west, northwest, and south), the better. I lived around UNLV and had my bicycles stolen at least 7 times (even with heavy chains and padlocks on them) and my car broken into once (I miss that leather jacket). I'd hear gunshots maybe once a month, and generally encounter aggressive bums at night on odd occasions. The only worse areas I would say are up by Nellis and Downtown (around Fremont Street, particularly the bus station). Being actually on Fremont is okay, but just 1-2 blocks away is a nexus of Vegas's mentally ill and burnt-out degenerates. So be expecting to encounter plenty of shady characters if you go near that area. Keep in mind my information is mostly 15-20 years old. :)
aylmer666 is northwest a good place to live?
@@millievg1430 I didn't make it up there much, but generally it seemed nicer and more Suburbian on the western side of the 95 up there (Summerlin especially).
Thanks for the knowledge. Been considering moving to Vegas.
I’ve seriously been loving these videos! I’m (hopefully!!!) moving to Vegas at the end of this year from NY and I’m literally clueless LOL. My bf’s from Vegas too (Henderson) and he says a lot of the things you have!
Alexis Mini Thank you girl! So glad to hear I could be of some help, NY to LV is going to be quite the move-wow!!
sunshinedelights I know LOL I’m terrified and wildly excited all at the same time-I’ve had ENOUGH of NY weather (and rent prices)
@@lexchin4646 im from new york also, i am buying my vacation home in vegas this year
They dont alow man haters in vegas alexis...no suburus and patagonia jackets aloud
Hopefully? 😂😂😂 you’ll see. Moving from ny to Vegas is like moving from ny to ac. It’s a novelty
in the beginning but after it’s gets old.😛
Great info love your enthusiasm !
Summerlin is definitely my fave part of Vegas. I'm hoping to buy a condo there.
The thing I did not like is all the dog landmines at the park. People obviously dont pick up after there dogs. I have not seen that many even in California.
I am looking for a safe part of Las Vegas with a lot of paved walking trails.Thanks for your information.
David Motyka south Summerlin! They have lots of neighborhood parks and multiple gated communities and is near red rock
henderson ,anthen or inspirada the last one is pretty new and growing fast many parks and pools for resident only very quiet.
Okay hello sunshine, I was wondering to just the southwest side or downtown area had a good bus lines! And is it hard to find an apartment in Las Vegas that allows smoking? I know a lot of people are against smokers, but I would appreciate the information if you know an area that allows smoking let's not totally in a bad area
Live in Mt Charleston, simple and plain. Can't go wrong with that
Oh, also if you can mention which areas are high property taxes and HOA low and high - thanks
Sandra Cordero general rule of thumb is if it’s a master planned community (ex. Summerlin, Skye Canyon in NW, Rhodes Ranch, Southern Highlands), there’s also a special Improvement district (SID) or limited improvement district (LID) fee on top of mortgage, property tax, insurance, and HOA. Gated community will likely have higher HOA, esp in newer developments, but HOAs vary from one community to the next depending on what amenities they offer (clubhouse, manicured landscaping/walking paths, etc. Much older homes likely won’t have HOAs though.
Cypher 125 thank you Cypher! I’m concentrating in GVR area. 👍🙌🥰
What are your thoughts on the crime rate in Tules Springs, N. Las Vegas?
I am looking to move to Vegas from Pittsburgh, PA in the next 2 years. I make enough to live comfortably with the money I have coming in, however, I was wondering how much I would need to move out there initially? I want to be comfortable with touching my monthly income. How mus to live for the first 2 years? weekly? monthly? yearly? $250,000-500,000 to move out and get settled for 2 years? more? less? please respond, I can't get an honest answer!!!
That’s a pretty person level question to answer when you think about it…, if you are renting, buying, leasing and what kinda day to day life you want…, omg.😳
Thanks Sunshine its a good run down on whats up. Did not know there was a china town got to visit on my next trip.
Super helpful. I’m moving there soon. Thanks.
I'd love to see that chinatown/spring valley episode.
Don’t come to spring valley especially at night
Thank you! That was so helpful.
Rochester NY to Vegas ill be planning on moving this year for sure .!! thx for the information.

What are the most diverse parts of Vegas? I’m filipino & grew up in LA so diversity is really important to me in a place to live. I’m moving to Vegas in a couple months!
I would check out the SW part of town or Silverado Ranch area! Lots of awesome, diverse restaurants and local business. Seafood City and Island Pacific Seafood Market not too far off either :)
Sunshine Las Vegas thank you so much!! I appreciate the reply ☺️ we are eyeing some places in Silverado so fingers crossed it works out!
How are the hospitals/Doctors? I see online that people are saying healthcare is horrific in Vegas
Sunshine, thank you for an excellent overview of the city.
I live in Henderson ,Fothills near to lake las vegas it’s very quite and safe ,but I have live in the east side too 👊🏻 much more hispanic food for me 😋
Honestly East side taco trucks are UNMATCHED
