I lokked for 2years before deciding to purchase a home before deciding on the 89131area.I live at the north end of Durango Drive and I love it,even though I bought too soon and paid full price.I do not think there is any place in the valley that you can get as good a quality of living for the price as this area.

I personally like the 89131 area myself. If I could move from where i'm at 89128, it would be 89131.

There are pockets of nice neighborhoods right near Sunrise Mountain-French Mountain as well 89156, 89110,89142 but you need some local knowledge (a realtor) about where these nicer areas in these zipcodes are.

All above is basically the periphery of the entire valley, commute times are going to be within your stated preference.

While I think Southern Highlands is nice, to me, it seems "out there" with not too much development out that way yet. I also understand the Southern Highlands HOA is notoriously fiesty, Summerlin Association is not far behind that either. I like Mountains Edge as well, but it's not that developed yet and there aren't enough roads in the area as yet. It will come though.

Out of those areas, I'd go with Olecapt with the 89131 zip...Centennial Hills. New, lots of building going on, stores,restaurants, shopping galore..beautiful Montecito Town Center, brand new hospital, good bang for the buck and well within your travel criteria even though it's on the outer rim of the soup bowl.

Best advice to you...seek an experienced realtor like Olecapt. Knowledge of the valley is essential to someone like you. You listed and we replied with such a broad range of geographical areas of the valley, an expert's knowledge of and ability to show it all to you is invaluable.

Best of luck to you and welcome!

Oh, and by the way...jfkIII doesn't live here in Nevada...he lives in upstate New York, and since some of us met him here in Las Vegas on his vacation a few weeks ago...he has virtually disappeared!

Honestly, we had nuttin' to do with it...

Wow Mommom, you gave me other zip codes that i never seen before,i only looked at a zip code map of las vegas and i dint see the others you mentioned in there. very good help.

As for JFKIII, i just find him funny,always commenting little things on almost all the threads i see you guys at and it makes me smile and even laugh loud at times.

Thank you for the other zip codes you have mentioned i will take a look at those areas tonight. or after the wife is done with the movies we rented

And yes, I am a major car nut. Mostly euro's and exotics, but I have respect for most automobiles.

yes yes we have to meet when im there already..and we have to trade car/race stories.
