Looking for Housing in Vegas...

Defying · Aug 5, 2013

Just beginning looking around for housing....

Any parts of the city I should avoid?

After the wife signs her contract, I'll be able to key in a certain area as shell want to be close to work but doesnt hurt to start looking now...

Where is she working (location wise). Personally, I like Southern Highlands,

what's the price of a decent sized (2000 square foot) condo in a nice area?

i am thinking of buying one for a possible move in a couple years

probably should've bought a couple years ago when they were SUPER cheap

Summerlin is great, also out west on Tropicana is good..actually most stuff west is nice, and it's higher than the strip, so nice views

SUmmerlin is great. Henderson is ok too.

Avoid anything in North Vegas.

Crime is very undereported in Vegas so always be aware of your surrondings.

I have a house there is you need any other info.

thanks guys...

is summerlin one of the more expensive parts of Vegas? Is there a neighbor that maybe better for my needs?

Here's the must have list...

Proximity to Summerlin Hospital ~15mins or less
Safety, imperative the wife feels 100% safe when I'm not there..
Prefer to be less than $1000 a month, cheaper the better
2Br's would be ideal, but if it's 1 BR then that's okay...

It doesn't matter how nice the house is, afterall were only there for 3 months . I rather save a few bucks than have granite countertops...

I'd like the area thats best bang for the buck within 15 mins without jeopardizing the wifes comfort level with the area...

I played around on Vegas' MLS and shocked at all the cheap properties.. granted I know nothing of the area, so maybe thats why, but gotta believe thats a good call..

Honestly, everything in Vegas is 15M or less.

loomis41973 · Aug 5, 2013

Are you only renting?

yes, only there 3-6 months... sorry, should have stated that in the orginal post

loomis41973 · Aug 5, 2013

Have a friend who lives here. Nice place and he loves it.

Most places will charge more for a short term rental.

loomis41973 · Aug 5, 2013

No shortage of rentals in Vegas but short term will be a problem with some

Defying · Aug 5, 2013

thanks for your help loomis...

I've started to find some good deals... Looking to max out at $1300 a month that includes rented furniture and utilities... because we have a mortgage back home too, hate to pay more than that for rent... It's a process, but been success in finding a good place both times thus far.. and Vegas is definitely cheaper than Denver

Defying, how long will you be in Denver for?

CFBFan · Aug 5, 2013

Damn man ... Enjoy Vegas. My wife is a nurse, but I could never talk her into the travel thing. It sucks to because I'm self employed so I pretty much work from a laptop and a cell phone. Before our daughter was born she could have worked almost anywhere.
