Just seems too good to be true for luxury condo, even if its downtown.
They are apartments, not condos. I am going to say they are fake because they have no phone numbers. I bet if you email them they will ask you to send a deposit. I could be wrong, but it does sound too good to be true to me also.

It definitely does sound too good to be true.They both look very nice. I would hope Olecapt could chime in on this one, he knows more about these than we do.

From the pics they are condos in the new towers built downtown. Now if its a scam is another story.

Condo in one of the lofts.

Almost certainly a scam. More than 300 below market. Those buildings have 300 HOA fees.

So what is the going rate on a rental for a small loft like that downtown? Also how soundproof are they. The second link looks like its a unit from Newport Lofts.

The ad clearly states twice that they are apartments:

"Beautiful 1 BDRM Apt"

"Wonderful apt. located nicely in downtown"

This means some scammer obviously stole those pictures off of the internet, and doesn't know they are condos. It is a scam for sure.

Allot of Condo rental units get advertised as apartments by property managers. Look at the pictures. How many apartments in LV do you see with hardwood flooring and modern kitchens and open ducting and loft style? The low rent indicates a scam or the owner is looking for short term cash until the unit is sold or repo or plans for residency in the near future. Anyways it does not hurt to inquire. The worst they can do is spam me to death by getting my email address.

Thank you; I will let you be the spam guinea pig.

Olecapt, can you point me to rental listings on highrise condos that would include these loft projects downtown.

Sure...just had a guy rent a nice unit in Juhl for 850. There was a very nice one BR in the tower at Juhl for 1050.

I will send you a DM with whatever is out there now.
