8. Floyd Lamb

Floyd Lamb is a nice area to live in, and one of its main perks is Floyd Lamb Park. This is a huge park that is 2,040 acres large. This is amazing to live by because you can find a home with views of the park, instead of views of a neighborhood. Paying for views can be more expensive, but it is beautiful. Plus, the park is a great way for families to go outside together and enjoy fun activities.

Homes are more expensive ranging from $450,000 to $930,000, and there is not much on the market out there. So finding a home within a budget might be hard, and finding a home with good views of the park is likely taken, but that’s not to say that you can’t find a nice home out there with some views still. You can defiantly look in nearby areas to see if you can find a nice home for your requirements, and something will work out.

9. Tule Springs

This is a very nice area, with the majority of the homes being on the higher end price-wise. The range of home prices is $450,000 to $990,000 and above. Most of them are on the more expensive side of the range, but if you can get a loan approved for that then definitely move here. This neighborhood will have great people, and great amenities and every home looks beautiful.

You likely will find each home has its own pool, so no need for a community pool. And, each home has plenty of land, space, and great layouts for the interior of said home. This area will have older families with parents who work jobs that pay enough to support a mortgage on the home, and you will find retired couples here as well.

10. Shadow Ridge

This is a neighborhood specifically in the North Las Vegas area, and it is a wonderful neighborhood. It is right across the street from a great high school, which is actually called Shadow Ridge. It is in a very good part of Vegas, and the homes are comfortable and not too expensive. It is definitely doable for families with older and younger kids. The homes range from $360,000 to $570,000, so they are in the affordable range for upper-middle-class families. Plus, the location of schools is great here because you can have your kids walk to school without too much worry.

11. North West

Homes in this area are very affordable, and the rand expands a bit lower than in other neighborhoods. The homes cost about $260,000 to $620,000, with some going much above into the millions, but mainly the homes are in this range. You can find wonderful neighbors, great schools, and great people in this area. You will find young couples who are starting their families, and you will find older couples and families who have adult kids visiting them over breaks.

12. Red Rock

Red Rock is on the outskirts of Las Vegas but it is a very nice area. It is not the most affordable place, but if there is an open house then go look at it for fun because these homes are amazing. They range from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 and they are big and beautiful. Again, if you can get approved then live here. They are very safe, very wonderful, and I imagine that living here would be like a dream, almost too good to be true.

The homes, or should I say mansions, are all going to have more modern elements in them, and they will have all the amenities you could want. The neighborhood is safe and wonderful, but there isn’t a huge need for many parks nearby because everyone has a backyard that is amazing and likely has a pool.

13. Foothills

This is also a luxury home area, and the homes are even more expensive than in the location above. These homes range from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, and they are insanely beautiful. Again, very safe, and you will probably have celebrity neighbors if you ever move here.
