Desert Shores - Las Vegas, NV Area Guide

A master-planned community about 10 miles northwest of downtown Las Vegas, Desert Shores stands out as one of the few places in the city with waterfront houses for rent. Lakes Jacqueline, Madison, Sarah, and Lindsey serve as the neighborhood's main attractions, giving residents places to kayak or feed the geese. Trails wind through Desert Shores, so residents enjoy going for bike rides or walks around their neighborhood. The lakeside shoreline provides a place to get some sun or play a game of volleyball with your neighbors, whom you can expect to know well when you live in this tight-knit community. You don't have to leave Desert Shores to grab a bite to eat. Just visit the Lakeside Center by Lake Jacqueline. Restaurant Row's dining options include Garfield's, Marche Bacchus, and Village Pub.
