Las Vegas Homes
Las Vegas homes offer some of the
most versatile floor plans and styles imaginable. The weather
is hot in the summer and cold in the winter with the majority
of the year being mild and always very dry. That's the reason
for using stucco as the main exterior feature with the majority
of Las Vegas homes.
A variety of "southwest colors" such as white, beige,
rose, grey, brown, and peach adorn the exterior of Las Vegas
homes. The majority of the homes in the Las Vegas Valley are
fairly new. Homes built in the last 20 years are considered
"new" since they are usually maintained very well
and don't give away their age.
There are homes built nearby the famous Las Vegas Strip where
many celebrities, entertainers, and high rollers lived. Many
influential residents such as the mayor and politicians lived
in a section just north of the Strip and have maintained some
of the huge homes with great care. Many homeowners are investing
in renovating their Las Vegas homes to create a home they are
proud of.
Older Las Vegas neighborhoods are typically an eclectic mix
It's not unusual to see a beautiful mansion valued in the millions
on one block across the street from older, smaller, lower priced
Las Vegas homes. You never know what to expect around
the corner in Las Vegas because the homes vary in construction
according to the era in which they were built.
New Las Vegas homes spread out from the center of the
city. Homes in the Northwest are sitting on properties that
are on a half an acre or more surrounded by stables to board
horses. Many owners have decided to take advantage of the equity
growth in their home to investing in a total makeover. Custom
homes are being built to keep up with the times and to create
bigger, more modernized homes.
The average price for Las Vegas homes is $210,000. The
price range is increasing as new Las Vegas homes are being built
and luxury planned communities are being constructed. Homeowners
can live in a country style home, have views of the Las Vegas
city lights, sweeping views of the mountains surrounding Las
Vegas homes, and even man-made lakes built in the heart of the
desert. Luxury
high-rise condominiums homes start at $400,000 and go up
in price to well over $1 million.
Condominium homes and town homes in Las Vegas are becoming
the new trend. These home styles are mainly scattered among
Summerlin,
West Las Vegas, and Northwest Las Vegas.
Residents are able to choose among simple gated communities
to luxurious golf resorts. There's also a place for seniors
to call home as Las Vegas homes create "Age Restricted"
communities as well. Communities for active adult living are
places where a quiet environment has walking trails, tennis
courts, golf courses, lakes, and community centers.
Basements are not common in Las Vegas homes, but there
are more homes built with a partial section built downward to
a lower level. Some homes are tri-level. The most popular home
has been a one-story homes; this is very attractive to most
retirees. While land becomes scarce, more and more 2-story homes
are being built.
