Nothing wrong with driving a pickup. Unless a mess of people drive pickups and park them on the street. Then it often means bad news.

In my area probably more than half the neighborhood has a pickup. I don't but I have a 20 year old E150 van which is probably as bad...just not as common. However if you see two parked on the street they are doing work on the homes.

Some say if you find a place ANYWHERE in America near a Martin Luther King Blvd., that you've truly hit the mother load.

There are several: 89113, 89118, 89139, 89141, 89148, 89178, 89179. I believe that is all.

Yeah, you hit the mother lode all right...but not what you want.

Hello,

I'm not too familiar with Las Vegas but need to be relatively close to the Strip. It appears that zip 89118 is a decent area? Any recommendations regarding the Tropicana/Valley View neighborhood? Thanks for your help.

in fact, i have a colleague (currently lives down on warm springs) who has started looking around my neighborhood for when her lease is up as she really likes it here also.
Hope it isn't too late. I've read the entire Forum just now and it was incredibly informative. I have been searching for an apartment to stay for now while I am venturing on my new business territory. This forum changed everything! Now I have to start my lists over LOL!

I my idea is probably leaning toward Guinessjim's kind of living but he came and went. If you are still living here please give some names or places that I can look up for nice apartments downtown. Decent area with good security. Am I asking too much? Professional atmosphere, business related etc.

Thank You.

I live in 89118. Tropicans / valley view isnt bad, but farther east on tropicana is better. I dont know if you're looking at houses/apts/condos but there are a bunch of houses 2.0 miles south of hacienda (hacienda runs between luxor and mandalay bay) off valley view around warm springs.

It's not for everyone, but I like the proximity to the strip, no traffic, 1/2 acre lots and the quiet. There are a ton of places from older ranch style homes to million dollar homes.

How much you willing to pay? Get into the lofts starting around $1200/1300 per month.

Jim had a little house in the Parks area. That gets real cheap but nicer place start around $1000 and go to $1500 or so.
