This is a quiet, safe, and wealthy town. The weather is excellent. There is a lot to do in the area, and it is a short drive from the strip which has endless entertainment. The weather consists of hot summers and bearable winters. The cost of living is very low when compared to New York metro and California. The scenery is beautiful, and there are a lot of parks and bike trails.

This is a very quiet neighborhood and I don't think I plan on moving out of here.

The neighborhood is quiet, there's lots of space separating each house, and no two houses look quite the same. There's a park just down the street from my home; there's a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, and an elementary school near by. I never needed to worry about walking home from the bus stop each day because the area feels so safe.

If i were to describe the overall experience in this area i would have to say its nice. lots of tourism, history of this place and the culture give Las Vegas a great atmosphere and gives me a sense of pride. I used to live in Seattle and the climate here is way me sustainable, i cant handle the depressing cold and rain.In the near future i see a lot of new houses being build and the economy getting better.
