North Las Vegas and Nellis Air Force Base
A mid-day street scene in the Eldorado neighborhood of North Las Vegas under blue skies. In fact, the Las Vegas Valley has sunshine over 300 days a year! What little rain there is comes during the summer monsoon.
North Las Vegas is more affordable
North Las Vegas is a separate city from Las Vegas and one that has blossomed in recent years. North of Cheyenne Road there are dozens of new home developments with homes for sale that are far more affordably priced than anywhere else in the Las Vegas Valley.
Among the newest is Aliante, a master-planned community that includes both family homes for sale, and Sun City Aliante, an age restricted community built by Pulte surrounding a new golf course and lake.
There are also long established neighborhoods in North Las Vegas, like the one shown in the photo, above, with beautiful spacious homes along tree-lined streets.
Business in North Las Vegas is booming. Many national companies have set up regional warehouse facilities in this area near the I-15 Freeway and across from the regional airport. The North Las Vegas airport has become a popular landing for private jet owners as well as for general aviation.

Nellis Air Force Base is located in northeast Las Vegas
Nellis Air Force Base dominates the northeast quarter of the City from behind its gates at Craig Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. In the past, mobile homes were often the only choice for off-base housing nearby. In recent years, however, affordably priced homes and rental apartments have been built in very attractive residential developments in the Northeast.
These rental apartments are just minutes away from the gate to Nellis AFB. They are popular with young military families.
