I was referring to the question about nice areas in the South Valley. Most of the new developments S of I-40 are already full of grafitti, weeds, for sale/rent signs etc. We looked at our builder's development down there and it was priced about 20% lower. They were closing out that development as well as ours at the same time. Their model home was already trashed and that development looks really bad there, compared to ours which is still nicely landscaped, not as much of a weed problem, no grafitti. It will be interesting to see how those S of I-40 areas look in 5 years.
Yea, Its really odd to see how that area got like that. For how new the area is you think that the people/neighborhood associations would take care of the place. I like in my area how they keep the medians and the yards maintained. I'm always concerned about my front yard, same with my house in Las Vegas those subdivsions are getting pretty trashy.

I have family on southern Unser near that area, Mostly Mexicans are their neighbors and the weeds rule their yards.

Word into my department, Housing construction has begun there again, I wouldnt doubt it if they make it all the way Dennis Chavez road in three or four years. That southwest mesa area was nothing back in the day.. No one even knew that land would be ever used.

And yea, Neighbors!! Wooo

dressed neatly, worried about their kids' homework, etc., etc., in short, Pleasantville
with a Spanish flavor.

I haven't seen that in the drives I've taken through the valley since we returned.
Could you describe where these nice areas are?
Who said anything about the South Valley? There are $1000000+ homes in the valley. Think Rio Grande/Bosque trail homes.

Ahhhhhh... I misread.

Yes, I completely agree with you, now.
