Movies and TV shows regularly shoot in Las Vegas – as such, most will find the typical architecture of homes for sale in the area quite familiar. The adobe style is popular, thanks to the desert location, while upscale condominiums and apartments for sale are also in high favor.
The most visited landmarks in Las Vegas are located on the iconic Strip. Here you can visit the famous Bellagio Fountain, the Mirage Volcano, the Eiffel Tower Experience, and of course the world-famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada” sign. The Strip is also popularly known as a street ablaze with millions of neon lights. Other popular landmarks in the area include the Hoover Dam and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Residential real estate in Las Vegas is made up of a wide variety of homes and apartments for sale, including more than 200,000 single-family homes and over 2,000 multi-family homes. Upwards of 5,000 apartments and almost 25,000 condo units are also in the local residential mix, as are about 2,200 other types of residential dwellings. Numbering 14,196, the townhome market is also robust and if home values or prices aren’t to your liking, there are over 20,000 vacant lots that allow you to build your own home in line with today’s real estate trends and median home values.

The Las Vegas public transportation system, RTC Transit, offers local and inter-city bus service throughout the county. Amtrak trains also serve the city, and there is a bus- rapid transit link that takes riders from downtown to the Strip and to the sought-after convention center. Freeway access is impressive, with Interstates 515 and 15, plus US 95, leaving the city in all four directions.
The Clark County School District, which provides primary and secondary public schools to Las Vegas, is the fifth most populated school district in the United States, with more than 314,000 students. The College of Southern Nevada, a community college boasting the third-largest enrollment in the country, and the University of Nevada School of Medicine provide quality higher education in Las Vegas.
There are more than 30 hospitals of varying size throughout Las Vegas, which means that most homes and apartments for sale are in close proximity to a hospital. The two highest rated hospitals are St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center.
Crime statistics in Las Vegas can be misleading because they include arrests on The Strip, inflated by charges of public intoxication and other non-violent offenses largely perpetuated by tourists. In total, Las Vegas is safer than 11% of other cities in the country, though depending on real estate prices and median home values, a buyer is likely to find an affordable home within a safer neighborhood fairly easily.
There are many tourist attractions to enjoy in Las Vegas, but for those looking to invest in the real estate market or find an apartment or home for sale in an area outside The Strip, the food scene is an attractive prospect throughout the city.

Affordable eateries abound throughout the city, with popular diner Mr. Mamas, breakfast hotspot The Egg & I, and all-round favorite Mexican eatery Tacos el Gordo being just some of the most- sought -after locales.
