For people who live in Las Vegas...?
* IF YOU don't want to read this whole thing I'd appreciate it if you could answer top 2 q's.
Hi. I'm moving to Vegas and I'm a little worried about reviews I've read about apartment complexes. I heard Henderson/Green Valley were nice places to live, but some reviews say "gang related activities" or "Don't live here if you like your car".
I guess my questions are:
- Where are nice places to live/rent? (I've read about Summerlin/ Southern Hills/ Centennial Hills) but it's hard to find apartment listings as they're not actual cities.
- How long does it take to get to the strip from those areas?
- How frequent do cars get stolen? If I'm renting should I sell my car and by a cheaper one, just in case. It's Dodge Durango 04' nothing done to it?
- Have you heard of people getting car jacked? What neighborhoods should I stay away from?
- Any good advise to prevent break-ins?
Any recommendations to stay safe would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
Green Valley, which is located in Henderson, is definitely the best area in which to live, unless you can afford to live in Seven Hills (also located in Henderson). The Strip is about fifteen minutes away from the Green Valley
North Las Vegas, between the start of Downtown and MLK & Craig Rd., is one area which is not safe. Many of the robberies, muggings & assults which occur in Las Vegas, take place in this area.
You'll also want to stay away from living near the Strip: junkies, third-class pimps & petty thieves make this area their home.
