Re: Houses/Neighborhoods where to live in Vegas?
Have you considered areas outside of Vegas? The cost-of-living has gotten so expensive in Vegas proper that I probably wouldn't consider moving there if I were on a budget.
My Mom spent about 200k on a house that we got for 70k right outside of Kingman. That is the difference between Vegas and Kingman, AZ. We also have a whole acre, whereas she has like 1/12th of an acre and can touch the houses on either side of her within an arm's span.
There are lots of areas right outside of Vegas (within 100 miles) that have a COL which is about 1/2 the price. Our gas is $1.30 per gallon. In Vegas it's about $1.75 right now. Our milk is $1.76 per gallon, it is about $2.50 or more in Vegas. Get the picture? We can also see the sun, all the time, unlike Vegas, which has gotten so covered in smog that it is like being back in Syracuse, with no sun ever shining (I lived in Rochester, which gets less than 65 days per year of sunshine, so I know your pain).
Just another consideration. PM me if I can help you further.
