I'm in NY and looking to make a move to the Vegas area. I'm looking at a listing in Comstock Park in Pahrump. Can someone give me a rundown of the area before I make a trip there? I'm concerned about gangs, Hells Angles, you know riff raff like that. Thanks.

Most people probably wouldn't consider Pahrump the "Vegas area." You might have better luck posting this on the Nevada forum, rather than Las Vegas. Just a suggestion.

I live in Pahrump, Comstock park is about 2 mins from my house. Its kind of run down, older trailer type homes but no gangs or that kind of stuff. There are MUCH nicer areas in Pahrump that you can get for the same price. We used to even hold our ham radio meetings in the club house there. Its older and mostly retired people.

You wont find any hells angels there either

Where in NY are you coming from.. I moved here from NYC a few years ago and love it out here.. it IS a good distance away from Vegas however.. about an hour drive.

We got our home out here.. on an acre of land, stick built home, nice neighborhood, and it was under 160,000 a few years ago.

PERFECT! My pop is 100 and I'm a little less than half that. Peace & quiet & safety is the name of the game.

Sold my house in Queens in 07 (perfect timing, thank you), moved in with my cousin in Oneonta till the dust from the financial/real estate debacle settled and now ready to move on to the Promised Land or at least some place that isn't a frozen tundra in winter.

I'm sure you are thinking this, but just for the record, plan on staying in or near an area of interest for a couple of weeks AT LEAST before you do anything. Better still, rent for 6 months in the place you think you like the best. Your money and many available properties will still be there in a few months.
Will you work frm home? Have to commute in to Las Vegas? What amenities do you like nearby? While I cannot promise you no HA's you could possibly die of boredom in Pahrump!
By the way most bikers won't bother anyone that leaves them alone, not like the cowardly punk gangs that are prevelant in so many places.
