i need to know if these are good places to live (im looking to move to vegas in the next year)?
Any help would be appreciated. I was wondering if these are good/bad neighborhoods. If the apartment complexes are decent or anything else anyone thinks is relevant. Or if you have any suggestions feel free to express them. FYI im a single male who will be living alone who will hopefully become a dealer or some other similar job.

Yikes, none of the above! Look in the apartment guide in Green Valley, Silverado Ranch, Seven Hills or Summerlin…thats the nicest parts of town. The cheaper the rent, the scarier those parts of town are! Look for a price of $750 for a decent 1 bedroom. Good Luck!

Unless you’re planning on being a drug dealer, I wouldn’t recommend any of these places.
If you need an inexpensive place to live, try the complexes on South Las Vegas Blvd by the South Point Casino. They are building a lot of new places there and they’re reasonable, you’re just going to drive a bit to get anywhere.

Hey, I lived in Vegas for a few years – and this is my advice to you: MapQuest the addresses in relation to the center of the city ("the strip") and the closer you get, the worse the neighborhoods. TRUST me. I have lived close to it and far from it. The best neighborhood I was at was Summerlin, they have really great places out there – great houses, apartments, you name it. Make some phone calls, do some mapping… for your own safety I beg you, please please please please PLEASE don’t live close to the strip. Summerlin would be most excellent for a dealer (if you mean cars… not drugs….) if you mean drugs, then yeah, live close to the strip. Just, prepare to die sooner than you’d like.

The best area of Vegas to live in is North Las Vegas. Your still close to the stip but not so close that you have to deal with the tourists.

those apartments are no good. keep looking thou. North las vegas has alot more crime, its older looking too. i lived in the southern part of vegas for 3 years and loved it. look in the south and the west if i were you.

You need to come out here first before you move.
Look around– get the feel for the area. Contact some real estate people and tell them what you are looking for. Have a budget in mind in relationship to what your living expenses are now. Compare expenses there and here—here is not cheap[even though there is no state income tax,sales tax 8.5%]. Dealers need to go to dealer school here–willing to do valet work while doing the school work?
Come spend several days in July or August to get a feel for the place.

None of the above.
Stay away from the strip,
Stay away from downtown,
Stay away from most parts of NLV
The closest I’d live to the strip is Decatur/Spring Mountain. It’s not best of neighborhoods, but it’s far from the worst. You are close to all three major freeways too. I lived there for 2 years a few years back.

Check out the Las Vegas Relocation Guide or the Apartment Guide. Get away from the Strip.

come here and look around for yourself. If you like it ,stay. Some of the places Downtown are crackhouses. You can find good places but NOT near UNLV or Downtown.
A dealer doesn’t make a lot to start, but it can after a while.
Good Luck
I doubt it. The addresses look bad.
If you are looking for a low rent apartment in Vegas, the entire area is bad around the Strip, Oasis Place Apartments (Sierra Vista/Paradise behind the Wynn) is actually an oasis. The majority of the tenants are UNLV college students, it’s quiet, maintained, nice studios, W/D in unit, huge Roman tub w/shower, no crime on property, and $550 per month.
The apartments in the nice areas have long waiting lists, and will run you around $700 a month for a 1 bedroom, and while you wait you will either have to find a roommate or stay at a Budget Suites motel room ($250 a week).
