Appts in Las Vegas
 

Any Las Vegans have advice on what general area's to get an apartment? Assume I can afford anything $1,100 and less. Or even areas to stay away from would be of help, specific appt buildings would be even better! Thanks.

I lived in Copper Creek Apartments while my house was being built (which took nearly 2 years). It is in the South part of town, which I prefer (Silverado Ranch area). It's a nice, safe area. I paid about $700 per month for a one bedroom.

I would avoid any apartments near downtown, or Maryland parkway.

It's relatively fast to get from almost anywhere in the Vegas valley to the strip. 20 minutes tops. This isn't a city like LA where your location could mean you're driving an hour to get somewhere.

I really need to move to Vegas. This cements that in my mind.

Yeah I know, party the reason I am probably moving there. I am taking a pay raise, playing 25% less on rent and living withing 15 minutes of some of the juciest middle limit holdem games in the world. I don't see how I can't do this.

I live in Henderson and I like it alot. You'll have no problems finding a place for $1,100 as long as you don't have ridiculous expectations. I pay less than $900 for an 1,100+ square foot two-bedroom apartment with a little balcony and easy access to casinos, shopping, libraries and all that good stuff.

You want to avoid most areas with things like "North" in their name and suspiciously low-priced stuff right near the strip.

How are the motels. Price? Availabilty? I would consider moving into a motel in LV for a while until I find an appt. I have lived in tough neighborhoods in NYC while going to school so I am somewhat street smart.

Space I'm interested to hear why you don't like the north las vegas area? I'm moving to vegas early next year and was considering the north area to be a good place to live off strip, was thinking mostly about the allante community up there.

For that kind of money, you could be renting a home. I have a 3 bedroom home in Summerlin (15 west of the strip), and it costs me $1195 a month.
