  • These people water their lawns - against the law! Plus, we'll talk about where you can move in Vegas, too!
    Everyone’s moving to Las Vegas. Well, not everyone, but it IS one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Lots of people want a warm climate and a much cheaper cost of living. I mean there is no income tax here. And look around. There’s plenty of room for more people. There might not be enough water, but there’s enough land.
    In Las Vegas, there are lower class areas with rundown apartments and shootings all over the place. Then you have some middle class areas like Henderson. But there are some really super fancy communities here, too. And that’s what we’re going to look at today.
    Ask anyone in Las Vegas where the biggest homes and the richest people live and they’ll tell you about two communities - Summerlin and Southern Highlands. On this drive, we’re going to check out Southern Highlands.
    Southern Highlands is a gated community on the south end of the Vegas metro area - pretty much the last place you drive past as you head south out of Las Vegas. It’s in the foothills with really nice views of downtown.
    The average home price here is six hundred thousand bucks, but there are some MEGA mansions here. There’s a golf course inside and a tennis club and shopping and a spa and a country club. There’s medical facilities, parks and a private police department. And inside this place are three elementary schools and a prep school that charges more than $15k a year to attend. Yes, this gated community has four schools inside its walls.
    Some of the wealthiest people in Las Vegas live here. The average households earn well over $100k a year but many make WAY more than that. Toni Braxton, Raiders QB Derek Carr, singer Nick Carter, former baseball player Reggie Jackson, Penn from Penn and Teller, boxer Floyd Mayweather, MMA star Colin McGregor, Shaq and other famous people have homes in here.
    We’re going to just drive around this neighborhood for a while and talk with a realtor in the area who knows all about it. That way, you can get some perspective on how the wealthy families in Las Vegas live.

    The funny thing is, if you're a peasant who lives in the middle class areas or whatever, they are constantly sending you notifications from the water company reminding you about the strict watering regulations. But as you can see, if you live over there.... I highly doubt they keep up all those plants / grass only watering a few times a week lol

    I moved out of Vegas before it got insane, 96...living up in Summerlin definitely gave a feeling of power, looking down into the valley, seeing the cityscape at night from my roof in desert shores over lake Jacqueline is something I'll never forget...

    • @KissMyBiscuits
      @KissMyBiscuits ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We just retired and bought a home in the area you left! You say Vegas “got insane,” were you talking about The Strip or are there other unpleasant surprises headed our way? We stopped partying years ago & will be staying away from The Strip except for the occasional show & dinner out. We moved to Vegas so we could be close to California (& the grand-babies) without the taxes & high house prices. We’ll travel there to get a break from the heat in the summertime although I don’t see how it could be any worse than Atlanta, where we live currently. I know there will homeless people wherever we move but hopefully not right on top of us like they would be in Cali. Hope you are happier now in your new location!

    I grew up in Vegas (from 72-96) and my dad was a master carpenter along with 2 of my uncles (his brothers) and my brother. They worked on some of the homes in The Highlands as well as Steeple Chase area. I got married to a military man and left the area very shortly after and haven't been back since. My mother is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in N. Las Vegas. So yeah, I do remember Vegas when it was a heck of a lot smaller (far less people) than it is now. When I was a kid growing up there, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot for kids to do, you could go to the "Slip-N-Slide", movies, roller skating rinks, Circus Circus for the shows upstairs..etc.. but otherwise, not much else there for kids to do back then. Now, they've made it way more fun for kids/families to enjoy. I've considered moving back a few times but my husband is from the East Coast and since most of my family is now gone, we stay pretty much close to his family. Take Care everyone, enjoy your time in Vegas (if your making plans to visit anytime soon).

    I have to admit when Jacob, from Jacob's life showed up it totally blew my mind. I love both your channels so much. I need to check if you did like a companion piece where you went to the Naked City part of town while it's still here. I used to work near there and the homeless and prostitutes occasionally walking around noon would put Grand Thief Auto games to shame.
    I lived in Cali till about 2006, at that time a home was 800K in southern Cali for about 2,000 Square feet, and about 300K in Vegas.
    My home value went to under 95K 2 years after I bought it in 2007 during the housing crisis. It finally climbed back to 250K and kind of stayed there.
    They built brand new 1 to 2 million dollar homes all around my house, literally there is a single wall that separates a million dollar home to my south and a 4 lane street that separate brand new 2 million houses to my west. On the positive side of that ... with home there, their are way less crazies going behind my house to do shit in the desert at night, people use to take drugs, create big fires, yell like crazy and ATV at 3 am like all the time during summer. One really f*ed up time a guy parked behind our house and shot his daughter and then himself, he had killed wife earlier in the day and had been driving around with her dead body in the car not knowing what to do... Anyway now it's way more quiet but occasionally those houses are like air BNB party houses, lots of parties during the pandemic in those houses, but they are build well so the sound is muffled well. But yeah, my property value is now 500K because of all that, so it gets way harder to complain. and they keep stuff clean and the crazies away.

    When you were talking about Las Vegas being the fastest growing population I got to thinking and wanted to see where my state of Florida placed. Florida placed eighth, and Nevada placed fifth. I was kinda shocked that Florida placed way down the line. Of course Florida does get winter residences AKA 'Snowbirds' that help boost our Florida economy. The largest group of snowbirds comes from Canada. An estimated 1 million Canadians spend up to six months wintering in the Sunshine State, contributing an estimated $6.5 billion to Florida's economy. What months do snowbirds come to Florida?
    Florida's snowbird “season” starts around October and ends in April. those of us who live in FL full time know that in October prices go up and when the snowbirds go home prices go down. August to December is when most Europeans take their annual vacation to Florida.
    Here are the 10 states with the fastest growth rates:
    Utah - 1.53%
    Idaho - 1.45%
    Texas - 1.35%
    North Dakota - 1.35%
    Nevada - 1.28%
    Colorado - 1.27%
    Washington - 1.26%
    Florida - 1.25%
    Arizona - 1.05%

Even Spanish Trails is nicer than Rhodes Ranch where Andre Agassi, Greg Maddux live and the first time Ben and Jlo got married bought a house there. lol
