To the comments about crime:
I live in the NW section of town. Gated community. I used to live in South Carolina. I would NOT let my kids go out of my yard. There were a dozen registered sex offenders living within a half mile and one of them lived one block away. We had to put up 17 thousand dollars worth of 8 foot high chain link fence with barb-wired top (I had almost 3 acres of yard in the middle of town) to keep the meth heads off my property.
I moved here to Vegas a year ago. My kids can go as they please here. Every house in this community is a 4,000 to 6,000 sq. foot home. As I said, it's a gated community. Has a park in it as well. Kids play right out on the streets since there is no traffic and everybody knows everybody else.
The schools my kids go to are nice, clean, and they even have rules on clothing and hair styles to keep any gangs from getting started.
I drive two blocks from the house and there is a skateboard park, a dog walk park, and a tennis court.
I drive half mile away to the grocery store, bank, gas station, etc.
It's exactly like living everywhere else I lived: Lakeland Fla. , Winter Haven Fla. , Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Myrtle Beach S.C. , Atlanta GA , Orlando Fla , Columbia SC , Upstate SC
The only difference is...this town is a lot newer, a lot cleaner, and has a much better nightlife and dining options than any of those other towns I have lived in.
And I feel much safer here than any other town I've ever lived in.
