Question Living in Vegas

Hi everyone

Living in vegas depend on the location as the west side is best. East side is bad, cheap housing, free credit checking. South sides is fine and north is the airport. Bring up children here is not great as school system and university here are still low rating. Needs to attract more talented teachers, doctors from elsewhere of USA. Great for retirement as weather and food are fine to them. Lots of Casino jobs and building construction jobs. Build more parks, good schools, university, hospital will attract more migration of younger population to nevada.

Opinion from staying in Nevada for 11/2year

Actually the West Side is one of the worst neighborhoods in the city. It will always be a fight between the West Valley vs. the East Side...I find the East Side the best. I don't think the East Side has more cheap housing, we actually found out that we couldn't afford the East Side and may have to move to the west Valley, it is all relative. Please explain why you like the west valley more than the east side, you only put down the cons of the east side...

Ohh stop. The problem are is the northeast to east. The southeast is fine. The west is almost all fine. West Las Vegas is not in the west...in one of those truly interestings things we do with geography...actually it is more north.

The west valley is a little higher, a little cooler, a little less smoggy and in general a lot newer. In general there is little difference between GV and Summerlin which are East and West.

i found out from crime view community, that 1/4 mile from Sandhill and Bonanza is about 27 and a 1/4 mile from Las Vegas Blvd and Agate was 36, so don't give me those allegations that the northeast is less safe than the southeast...1/4 mile from Palo Verde HS and the crime is 35...all those are for the last 60 days and excluding anything that has to do with cars (accidents, thefts, recoveries)...anything can happen anywhere and things don't appear to be what they be...we have had nothing but problems in Green Valley, 3 burglaries, a truck drove into our store once...we know people that never had any problems in the NE, then you find ppl that think the SE is quiet and some that think that the NE is noisy...personally, I still haven't seen the real Green Valley that people always talk about and I've been living here for 10 years...

Nonsense. First off LVBlvd and Agate is south and not SE. Not remotely.

Second a mile radius of LVBlvd and Agate goes 313. A mile radius of Sandhill and Bonanza goes 1078 - About 4 to 1. You use the biggest available area if you are trying to compare regions.

There certainly may be enclaves within these areas that are far better but they don't change the region results.

The problem you have to deal with is that the area of Henderson has no data. But the overall area of Henderson is actually quite safe. Number 3 on the list of cities above 200,000 population. Parts of the east side however are quite bad.

That is how it is...

Oh, I never realized that, I always just thought about the immediate areas...
