While golf course community living isn’t for everyone, it provides an elegant and peaceful environment for living and enjoying the many advantages of living on the greens.
RURAL PROPERTIES
In addition to its master-planned communities, Southern Nevada is also home to rural and established neighborhoods that vary in size, price and amenities. Many older homes are situated on large lots and have mature trees and landscaping. Rural communities offer more personal freedoms, including specially zoned areas that allow people to board horses and raise animals.
THE LAS VEGAS AREA
For many who arrive here, the region is warm and welcoming. Thanks to the region’s “can do” culture, newcomers are able to launch a business or start on a new career path. The cost of living in the region is affordable, especially in health care, utilities and services. For those buying homes, price declines are outpacing national averages, and there are plenty of quality homes available. Add to this the low property taxes, especially compared to other neighboring states, and the absence of corporate, personal or gift taxes.
While Las Vegas is by far the most populated city in Clark County, four additional cities and unincorporated areas provide the county with a population of nearly 2 million, making Clark County the 15th largest county in the United States with nonstop growth for three decades. It was once estimated that 60,000 new residents move to Las Vegas every year. While that pace has slowed, the local economy continues to diversify by providing more opportunities for newcomers and residents alike. People continue to relocate here because of the region’s advantages, including low taxes and the efficient services provided by city and county governments. Learn more in this section about the region and its dynamic citizens.
ABOUT CLARK COUNTY
Clark County is the nation’s 15th largest county and a wonderfully diverse place. In fact, more people live in urban Clark County than in any of Southern Nevada’s cities, including the city of Las Vegas. Geographically, this area of the unincorporated county includes the Las Vegas Strip and takes in McCarran International Airport; the Las Vegas Convention Center; the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and, of course, the neighborhoods where residents live, work and play.
Clark County also provides regional services for its residents, almost 40 million tourists a year and occupies an area (8,012 square miles), which is larger than the state of New Jersey. The Clark County government takes a leadership role in protecting the quality of its air through its Department of Air Quality & Environmental Management and its water through the Las Vegas Valley Water District, whose board comprises the seven members of the Clark County Commission. The county also operates McCarran International Airport and other airfields, Southern Nevada’s only public hospital (University Medical Center), social services, community planning and the court system. Furthermore, the county plays a key role in promoting tourism, transportation, public health and flood control.
