Basically, anywhere near the old downtown, areas east of the 515, eastern North Las Vegas. Areas right off of the strip (15), area east of the 15 but west of the 515 north of the airport. You want to live in Henderson, Las Vegas south of the 215, the western and northwestern part of Las Vegas.
1: Basically find Sunset at the 215. Draw a line to the 11 freeway out east - just follow Sunset ). This is Green Valley/North Henderson. This is OK. South of the 215 is also all decent enough on both sides. Draw a line on the other side south of the airport all the way to the 15 and then out along the 215 to where the freeway turns north. This is Silverado Ranch and Enterprise, plus the west part of Henderson. 2: Henderson: Find Grand Cadence and Galleria. Everything east of there and down south along boulder Highway is O.K. Just avoid the few pockets of industrial still left nearer to Boulder Highway. Between the 11 and boulder highway, the small region south of E. Horizon drive. These are the safer areas of Henderson. 3: Find Durango and the 215 (the IKEA is here). Draw a line straight up to the freeway (route 613). Everything west of this is O.K. This is the area that isn't going to get you robbed. North of the 613, Buffalo over to the west - Summerlin proper. East of Durango the world falls off into chaos and by the time you are at the college (Charleston and Rainbow) - it's literally abandoned crack houses and section 8 housing. And it keeps getting worse as you head towards downtown. East of Decatur is bad. Even in the daytime bad. 4: Way north everything north of the 215. This is all new and fairly safe. EVERYTHING else is horrid, Detroit or Houston inner city/ward bad. That's about 3/4 of the entire city that you simply don't want to even live in. Worst areas: A: North of downtown along Las Vegas Blvd, ending at Lake Mead Blvd at the northern edge. This is the area has never recovered since the 11 was put through the area/divided it in half. This goes from Rainbow/11 out west to Nellis out east. B: North Vegas/Nellis AFB. The word falls into a dark pit at night east of the 15 up north. Avoid. C: Maryland Parkway from the university north to Charleston. Everything West of this to the 15. This is "The strip" and basically all industrial and the slums of Vegas. D: Henderson - south of Galleria between the 11 and Boulder Highway. Also known as "Hendertucky", named after the old "Fontucky" area of Los Angeles back in the 70s and 80s. This is all industrial, tiny lots, and the original Henderson. It's had no love for decades and never really recovered since the chemical plant explosion in the late 80s. Old town/Townsite is in this area - it's good to visit, but living there is not so great. It does start to get better near Horzion - it's easily obvious where the newer stages of development started in the 80s and 90s. Best area, (IMO) - Henderson, Equestrian drive - this little triangle up against the mountains. Large lots, no HOAs, very much feels like Riverside, CA or similar. Many homes also have horses. One of the last areas that still feels like a community, IMO, and a good area to raise a family. Second best is probably Green Valley South. Same deal - large lots, single family homes. Very quiet.

The title is “relocating to Las Vegas” but you spend less than 2 minutes talking about actual Las Vegas. Downtown Las Vegas is much more than condos & Freemont Street. The Rancho Bel Air, Ranch Circle, Nevada Estates, Scotch 80’s, Alta Street, McNeil Estates and Section 10 area are fantastic communities filled with mature landscaping, large lots (1/4 - acre+) and beautiful homes. You are also only minutes from The Strip, airport and Downtown. When I moved to Vegas 6 years ago, all realtors wanted to move me to the suburbs…so I never even heard of the cool vintage neighborhoods of Vegas. We fired our first realtor because they said we should ONLY move to Summerlin with its beautiful “downtown” and we had to beg her to show us Henderson. The “Downtown” in Summerlin is simply an outdoor mall…not a cute downtown like Boulder City. Then EVERY street in Summerlin is bordered by a cinder block wall outlining different gated communities, so you cannot see the front of any houses or a any neighborhood. It is so segmented & walled off…it feels “soulless” and not like a community at all. So, not everyone wants to move to Summerlin like you said or any of the “new build” areas because builders are putting homes on lots so small you can barely lay down in the backyard and you are so close to your neighbor you can hear them clear their throats. I feel like I need to get all the realtors together and teach them about our actual beautiful city…LAS VEGAS and not just the “outlining areas”. Vegas is unlike most cities because if you are looking for a large house or midsize single story on a big lot, large pools with mature landscaping, you have a better chance finding one downtown and NOT in the suburbs. Difference between Henderson & Summerlin…Henderson is a thriving city with 350,000 people, their own mayor, city government , police dept, etc, and all the other areas you mention are just suburbs of Vegas or Henderson. You did nail Lake Las Vegas…it is the most beautiful area in the valley.
The freeways in Los Angeles were the first in the world, and were named. the route numbers came much later. So you had "The Arroyo Parkway". "The Hollywood Freeway". "The Long Beach Freeway". and so on. In addition to major highways (Angeles Crest Highway, Pacific Coast Highway). Eventually when they assigned numbers, with 10 or so routes and freeways bisecting the city, it was too cumbersome to say the full names and who could remember what was state, local, toll, or interstate? So they just said "The (number)". Some people still say the name. Two exceptions, tough. 1: Route 66 is still Route 66 where it exists. 2: Highway 1 - even though it's an interstate highway, it's just "PCH". Always about being as efficient as possible when giving out directions. :)
Hi Stephen. There are several lots available currently in that area of Henderson ranging from $175,000 - $200,000 an acre with lots sizes from a little under an acre to 5 acres. If you would like more info, hit us up. info@findinghomelasvegas.com We would love to help. It is a great area.
It's because the first freeways in the WORLD were in Southern California and it's the home of the original "car culture", fast food, and drive-in movies and drive-throughs. So the major freeways literally divided the state and defined neighborhoods. In the 50s and 60s, Los Angeles county extended all the way to the Nevada border, so locals called Vegas "East Los Angeles County" The culture in Vegas specifically is nearly identical to So Cal, which is why so many people from there move here. Being in most of the areas of Vegas might as well be Reseda or any random area out in Riverside. It feels very familiar. Just is a LOT less to live here. (even in the mid 90s homes were 400K in Los Angeles) Vegas always lags behind Los Angeles by about 25 years or so in property values, so buy as soon as rates go down - it's unlikely to ever climb back down by a lot. Some correction sure, but worlds cheaper than living in California - and always will be. And, of course, we use the same terminology to describe the highways. :)
Hi Judy. It is worth mentioning. We are still systematically working our way around the valley highlighting all the areas, communities and neighborhoods. Spring Valley is on the list of coming videos.
@@ericsonn041474 oh, give me a break! I’ve been there! Some people think 95 degrees is just fine but we don’t! I guess you can get kinda used to it? No thanks!
@@ericsonn041474but this may 2024 heat was early and very hot. My power to cool off was higher than last may. Lived here 51 years. Now it’s hot at least 4 months of the year. Sometimes the snow would be ok for a minute. From pa.
Los Angeles once you get out of the (impossible to afford) beach communities is only 5 degrees cooler and lasts just as long. the trick in Vegas is to get up as high as possible along the hills to get above the inversion layer. Then it's 10 degrees cooler/actually the posted temperature. In those areas, it's exactly like So Cal/Los Angeles in the summer and perfectly tolerable. the advantage? We are 50 miles from the snow line. Mildest winters of any city in the U.S. No known natural disasters to really worry about, either - the San Andreas is over 250 miles away. No hurricanes, no real floods ( a few flash floods in low areas like near the airport ), nothing to burn? No tornados, no.. Really all we ever deal with are wind/dust storms a few days of the year.
Our interstate is I-15 so we say "the 15". Our loop interstate is I-215 and we say "the 215". "the 95" is Hwy 95 here. We also have "the 515", "the 98" and "the 11". I get a lot of angry comments from people that it drives crazy for us to say "the" anything. LOL
Hi Dalia. Yes. December and January are usually the slowest times of the year, which means sellers that have their home listed have less traffic, less offers and often are more willing to negotiate. Are you considering a move to Las Vegas?
Calling the highways “The 95”, etc. is a Southern California thing. In SoCal, it’s “The 101” and in NoCal, it’s just “101”. LOL. You must be from SoCal !!
I have been here in Anthem for a couple of years. I would say the top place to avoid in Las Vegas is anywhere in Clark County and any other parts of Nevada. 2/3 of people who move here move back out in the first 2 years. Realtors love that! Seriously, this place is NOT for everyone!!! Living here compared to 'visiting' here is like taking the girl home from the bar vs waking up next to her the next day... I think you know what I mean.
@@notorious_H.A.N It's basically like living in the San Fernando Valley - hot and most of it is aras you don't want to live in. Same kind of regions as well - south or near the 405 is fine, out west is fine - It gets sketchier the more NE you go. But there are a few nice areas and as much as we love to complain about it, we actually love to have families move and stay here. It's the flippers, speculators, investors, and 2nd and 3rd home now a B&B that we actually hate. They do tend to leave after a few years. But for those who stay, it's a nice alternative to the traffic, expense, pollution, and all of the rest So. Cal offers. Just don't expect anyone to treat you like a local until you've been here about 8-10 years. Then we know you are staying and being part of the community.
@@plektosgaming im from Orange County but have thought of moving my family to summerlin area or Henderson. The only thing I’m scared of is the school system there. People tell me it’s bad but it’s improving? When you say it’s like the San Fernando valley, it makes me not want to move there 😂
@@notorious_H.A.N Nope, went through the teaching program, it's worse. Worst urban school district in the nation aside from Detroit. Worst teacher safety, worst in percentage of vacancies, worst admins. The dumpster fire burned itself but and all that's left is a rusting piece of charred metal in the abandoned gas stop in the desert as the state can't seem to get its act together to save it. (small rant - I think it's worth reading, though, if you are serious about moving here) Everyone smart has their kids home-schooled or goes to a private school. Those are fine. There is a large network of private educators, and trust me, you don't want your child learning out of three inch thick books of busy-work. Common Core curriculum is like the California Lottery in that the only company that could comply with the rules correctly was the one that sponsored it. The units are a mish-mash of Wikipedia level bad material, poor research that skims the surface only, and busy-work from the three main textbook companies - all to make themselves wealthier as they are the only source for this material across almost every state (funny how that worked out - guess who sponsored this idea to Congress). And it's literally rotting our children's minds. I witnessed a first grade teacher going through a day ( for observation ) of what was part of a two week "unit" on decimal places. The kids bored, endless ways to regurgitate the same idiocy, and admins who don't let them go off-book and walk to the whiteboard, explain it in 3 minutes, and then have the kids learn it in a day or two and move on. Like it was taught for hundreds of years. And pass that part of the national tests at 100%. Instead you have kids who look at each other's work, don't pay attention, are bored, and so on - because there's no possible way to fail the students, or require make-up work. So it's literally organized babysitting with predictable results. The private schools and magnet schools are fine as the threat of being dropped off the cliff into the sea of lava below (demoted to the main public schools) at least gets the parents involved and the students to turn in work. So if you can't afford private schools, your child needs to be talented in music or arts ( two specialized academies exist for that, Del Sol, and Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA)). I would rate these as a solid C+/B- compared to the education we got growing up. Passing, maybe a bit above that. You child won't die trying to get into college out of state. As for San Fernando Valley, it's how it's laid out. South of the E-W main freeway is the good area - Henderson (Encino/Sherman Oaks/Studio City)), Out west is Summerlin ( West Hills/Sherman Oaks/Chatsworth ) Just off to the side of the second N/S freeway is old town Henderson (North Hollywood). And it gets worse the more central and NE you go. The air force base is basically Sylmar/Sun Valley. Green Valley is the one exception, a pocket of niceness. The freeway when it was built cut this off from the rest of Henderson but the city tries very hard to keep it nice. It's my favorite area aside from the Henderson hills. So as long as you stay in the nicer areas, you're fine. Same as any other city. That said, I'd wait a year for the prices to fall - if you have a down payment at all in the coming recession, you can haggle hard and get a good rate as the banks will be desperate for money. :)
Lived in or near military communities from age 0 to 22. I feel right at home in them. You did not show pics of any shopping or residential areas near Nellis. I'm disappointed, thumbs up job overall tho.
Hi there. I apologize for that. We have a video planned just for military families who are being stationed at Nellis and showing a lot more of that part of town and the areas that most of those military families like to live. Stay tuned.
That was a very informative video. When I was looking at properties in 2009, I saw a nice neighborhood adjacent to the LDS Temple on the east side. Do you know what the name of that neighborhood is?? Thanks for your help.
N. Jones above Ann is good. Above 215 even better and newer. Great shopping center nearby including Costco, Walmart, Winco Foods and a Planet Fitness at 215/Decatur. Welcome to Las Vegas!
What area feels like California and how? Can you describe? Any areas that are GREEN?? I live on the East side and it's soo ugly and getting worse with crime.
no green, vegas valley is infested wtih various forms of california ghetto trash. from the pumpkin spice latte weenies, to the raider nation types, the compton crap and so on.....
Anthem is green AF, and of course LLV - you know, the expensive areas heavily landscaped to force some green in - looks awesome though. Shoutout from another ELVer here.
If this didnt point it out, I've got three areas to avoid: 1.All 2. Of 3. Them Unless you really like the seedy parts of Los Angeles and 85 degrees is still winter to you, then tour away!

Tell me more about the bus system...
Sinless City is the last big city in this country to not have a light rail system! But the bus system is very good.
Do you think January or February a good time to buy a home
Hi Dalia. Yes. December and January are usually the slowest times of the year, which means sellers that have their home listed have less traffic, less offers and often are more willing to negotiate. Are you considering a move to Las Vegas?
What about the area behind the Strat? Lol jk. Stay the hell out between the Strat and Downtown, imo.
What are you talking about? It has all the beauty and appeal of South Central Los Angeles.

The private schools and magnet schools are fine as the threat of being dropped off the cliff into the sea of lava below (demoted to the main public schools) at least gets the parents involved and the students to turn in work. So if you can't afford private schools, your child needs to be talented in music or arts ( two specialized academies exist for that, Del Sol, and Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA)). I would rate these as a solid C+/B- compared to the education we got growing up. Passing, maybe a bit above that. You child won't die trying to get into college out of state.
As for San Fernando Valley, it's how it's laid out. South of the E-W main freeway is the good area - Henderson (Encino/Sherman Oaks/Studio City)), Out west is Summerlin ( West Hills/Sherman Oaks/Chatsworth ) Just off to the side of the second N/S freeway is old town Henderson (North Hollywood). And it gets worse the more central and NE you go. The air force base is basically Sylmar/Sun Valley. Green Valley is the one exception, a pocket of niceness. The freeway when it was built cut this off from the rest of Henderson but the city tries very hard to keep it nice. It's my favorite area aside from the Henderson hills.
So as long as you stay in the nicer areas, you're fine. Same as any other city.
That said, I'd wait a year for the prices to fall - if you have a down payment at all in the coming recession, you can haggle hard and get a good rate as the banks will be desperate for money. :)
FYI M Resort is owned by Penn Gaming, and Aliante is owned by Boyd Gaming. :)
"The" doesn't bother me.
Well made to use Maps!
Just at some point I just heard „uhm“ „uhmm yeah“ „ummm“.
Besides a better voice over it was informative enough.

Lived in or near military communities from age 0 to 22. I feel right at home in them. You did not show pics of any shopping or residential areas near Nellis. I'm disappointed, thumbs up job overall tho.
Hi there. I apologize for that. We have a video planned just for military families who are being stationed at Nellis and showing a lot more of that part of town and the areas that most of those military families like to live. Stay tuned.
the area he did not show which is East LV is the area to avoid? how convenient of him not to!! ELV has a lot of nice areas
M Resort and Casino is owned by Penn Gaming. Red Rock resorts is planning to build a casino in Inspirada soon.
That was a very informative video. When I was looking at properties in 2009, I saw a nice neighborhood adjacent to the LDS Temple on the east side. Do you know what the name of that neighborhood is?? Thanks for your help.
👍
I'm buying a condo on N Jones Blvd. It looks like a decent part of town.
N. Jones above Ann is good. Above 215 even better and newer. Great shopping center nearby including Costco, Walmart, Winco Foods and a Planet Fitness at 215/Decatur. Welcome to Las Vegas!
What area feels like California and how? Can you describe?
Any areas that are GREEN?? I live on the East side and it's soo ugly and getting worse with crime.
Green Valley in Henderson
no green, vegas valley is infested wtih various forms of california ghetto trash.
from the pumpkin spice latte weenies, to the raider nation types, the compton crap and so on.....
Anthem is green AF, and of course LLV - you know, the expensive areas heavily landscaped to force some green in - looks awesome though. Shoutout from another ELVer here.
LOL anthem is green LOL @@davedixon2167
If you want "green" then don't live in the desert.
Most of the country would say I95 not THE 95. Does not bother me either way iz coo
In 2024, the 515 and U.S. Highway 95 from the present termination of I-11 all the way out to Kyle Canyon will be redesigned as I-11.
I just call them 95 and 215.
Why does north Las Vegas get such a bad reputation? I hear about the crime and homeless 🤔
I-15, US-95…😂
Ty
You are very welcome David. Glad you enjoyed the video.
There isn't a perfect place to live in Nevada do-it-yourself favor and pick another state life is not normal for a family in Las Vegas
I 95 I15
CA. too expensive.No choice.Thanks
If this didnt point it out, I've got three areas to avoid:
1.All
2. Of
3. Them
Unless you really like the seedy parts of Los Angeles and 85 degrees is still winter to you,
then tour away!
Everything is all about the casinos, horrible place to live ,especially if you have children, drugs, crime, traffic, I don't recommend it
