Las Vegas Real Estate

Although some people still think of "tract homes" when they think "Las Vegas real estate," Nevada's southern metropolis is expanding.

Living in Las Vegas comes with the allure of endless entertainment, from internationally renowned musicians and artists to five-star dining. The city also boasts high-end shopping at some of the chicest boutiques in the country.

The climate remains temperate year-round with just 16 days below freezing annually, and the city boasts 294 sunny days per year, making it a true paradise. 

Read on to learn more about luxury Las Vegas real estate and why now represents an opportune moment to invest in this palm-tree-lined desert oasis.

The Birth of Luxurious Las Vegas

To better understand the roots of Las Vegas real estate, it's important to consider the city's recent history. 

With the mid-century rise of Las Vegas as an important constellation in the entertainment industry, affordable housing became a top priority. The casinos employed tens of thousands of people and needed places for them to live nearby.

As the city continued its meteoric rise, cheap housing for casino employees gave way to condominiums for visitors who wanted a residence on the Strip. Large California tract builders followed suit constructing sprawling communities.

Among these tract builders, a select number with a unique vision decided to branch out into higher-end communities. These communities were meant for affluent individuals, executives and entrepreneurs.

Over time, they have expanded in sophistication and number thanks to builders such as Merlin Custom Home Builders. These real estate trends have resulted in communities now considered by both investors and buyers alike as true masterpiece collections. 

The Rise of a New Desert Oasis

The popularity of these exclusive communities coincided with an influx of buyers from California for a variety of reasons.

First, a growing number of foreign buyers in the Bay Area and Los Angeles contributed to highly-inflated home prices. This was further exacerbated by employees relocating to fill positions in the technology industries.

Seizing the moment, Baby Boomers chose to cash out their homes while prices remained high and then leave the state. Why? Because the financial benefits of moving to Nevada proved so tremendous.

Cities such as Las Vegas are a natural fit. Even luxury properties come in at about half the price of their California counterparts. Residents also enjoy the advantages of no state income tax.

Of course, sophisticated buyers from the Golden State refuse to settle for anything less than the homes of their dreams and highly amenitized communities. As a result, the tract home trend has faded in favor of high end expansive properties in gated communities with spectacular views. 

This high-end real estate is also characterized by spacious living areas, exclusive golf clubs in secluded settings, and private guard-gated communities.

Because of Las Vegas's incomparable weather, indoor/outdoor living for friends and family can also be blended in unique ways.

In essence, Las Vegas represents the new Palm Springs. But better. Not only does the location have a significant financial edge over Palm Springs, but it's also far superior when it comes to dining, shopping, entertainment, and golfing.

Exclusive Las Vegas Neighborhoods

The demand for luxe living in Las Vegas continues to grow. More than 200 new residences in the $1 million-plus market closed in 2018.

Californians relocating to Nevada, particularly those from the Bay Area and Southern California, see their money go much further in Las Vegas. This has led to stunning properties situated in some of the area's most spectacular landscapes.

Among the most exclusive neighborhoods is Tournament Hills in Summerlin, which envelopes the TPC golf club providing residents with open skies and opulent interiors. Resale home values range from $3 to $13 million, making this a prime location.

The National Association of Home Builders voted Anthem Country Club the Best Master Planned Community in America. This private country club community combines spacious views with a welcome level of privacy. Residents of the Anthem Country Club community can participate in varying tiered memberships dining, tennis, off season golf, and of course full golf membership.

The Estates at Southern Highlands represents a master planned upscale community, part of Southern Highands.  The Estates is a guard gated enclave within Southern Highlands.  There are two schools, a clubhouse, community association, and the Southern Highlands Marketplace with walking trails and parks throughout. 

The MacDonald family developed Henderson 6000 home master planned community MacDonald Ranch in the 1990's.  There are four neighborhoods offering tennis, hiking, basketball and volleyball amongst four different neighborhoods, at MacDonald 55+ Sun City MacDonald Ranch, MacDonald Highlands, Sunridge Heights, and Roma Hills.
