Id say the only thing its got going are the bigger lots. The homes themselves if not renovated are rotting and are bad on insulation and energy use which is important in a place where it gets 110 degrees in the summer. But yes if you want land then older houses and neighborhoods are where you need to go. Another problem is older neighborhoods are in alot of the times are in bad areas.
I really believe the Craftsman and builders of the 1800 and early 1900s would be so disappointed with the lack of quality of todays homes. They used to take pride in their work over profit.
It is. I live just a couple of minutes west of there in Vegas Verdes Heights. Everything is 5 minutes away. Every bank, ever kind of grocery and shopping, medical, 200+ mom and pop restaurants within 10 minutes, and so forth. It is the bullseye of the Valley.
Before you even said anything, I said to myself, I bet you she’s talking about Spanish trails but yes Spanish Oaks is amazing. I’ve lived here since 1990 and prefer these beautiful older homes with character.
I remember Spanish oaks . It's expensive always has been over priced. But worth it . Very nice community of people that's hard to find in vegas . Even in 2009 it was still expensive.
Nice find. Definitely a hidden gem. I’m surprised prices are so low there. I’d expect that to change in the next few years as people find out about it as they move out of Summerlin and other communities that are far from the strip. Spanish Trail was cheap when I bought in 2019 but has more than doubled as word spread.
You & I are on similar paths. I was living in Turnberry Place when my wife and I said we wanted a house, but not in the suburbs with the cookie cutter homes on postage stamp size lots. We looked in Spanish Oaks but ended up in Rancho Bel Air. Also love Rancho Circle, Rancho Nevada Estates, Scotch 80’s, McNeil Estates, Alta area, etc. Like you said…custom homes, large 1/3 acre+ lots, mature landscape with hardwood trees and GRASS (even though to save water we are putting turf in the front) and centrally located. These areas are the best kept secrets in Vegas because 95% of realtors only talk about the suburbs…Summerlin, Henderson, Southern Highlands, Centennial Hills, etc. and since the vast majority of locals also live in the burbs…they also have no idea where these neighborhoods are.
I have artificial grass. It does look beautiful. It’s easy to take care of and keep clean and neat. Only problem is in the summertime. Don’t put kids or pets on it because it will burn them worse then stepping on black top barefooted gets so hot. Remember it’s plastic. I stepped on it one day for less than a minute, and I burned my feet couldn’t get off of it fast enough. Secondly you have to be very careful with palm trees because that’s where scorpions live.
i’m waiting for Johnnie to invite me to a backyard party !! PS i’m not telling anyone about this neighborhood but now it’s out there on your TH-cam for everyone to watch 😂
I very much enjoy your videos which showcase such beautiful properties in Las Vegas. I promise to call you should my hubby and I decide to make a change in our home. Thank you so much for making such great and informative videos!
i like when old home keeps that original look, when made to new might as well buy new. when was looking in vegas, my requirements were, no HOA communities, 1/2 ac min lot, 2k sq ft, 3 bd, 2 bath, possibly a pool. that was 4 yrs ago so inventory was low and out of price range. i like my vehicles and space so going over the hump it was, got way more for the buck and if one is looking for HOA community, million dollar home they are here.
Back around 2022, I got a letter offering a tax break to replace the grass with astoturf. I was told vegas is slowly taking out all the grass and trees to save water, but I'm not sure if that was even a real letter.
I love real grass, but with the water issue we are facing in the valley, we feel guilty about wasting water to keep grass. Therefore…we are converting our front yard to artificial turf and just keeping grass in the back yard for now. We live in Rancho Bel Air and 80% of the homes still have real grass
You in the little courtyard first thing I would do is get rid of all the rocks have the ground graded then I would lay some sand and put natural Astroturf and then I put a water feature on the far back wall and then I put some river rock into the turf with a design and then you can leave your door open when he gets around November and hear that waterfall so beautiful right now it’s completely useless with all those rocks
Those are 2 nice and beautiful neighborhoods. Lots not as big as many of the Vintage Vegas neighborhoods but still much bigger than the lots on the new construction.
Now, if we're talking about Spanish Trails? Oh yes! Spanish Hills? Oh yes! But Spanish Oaks? Off of Sahara & Valley View? It's O.K. A little too close the 15 & Strip.
All great communities that you mentioned! Many of the Spanish Oaks residents whom I have spoken to love the location of the community and its proximity to downtown/arts district, strip, airport and centrality to summerlin and henderson.
Yes, I am familiar with Henderson also! I have a few Henderson videos that I’ve done and one that compares Summerlin and Henderson. Feel free to send me an email and we can set up a call for me to answer any other questions (olga@movetolasvegasnv.com)
Spanish Oaks is a great neighborhood.The issue is the surrounding area is sketchy. Most of Vegas' best ,vintage places to live are in terrible places :(
Thank you for your comment. Yes, some people have reservations because of that. The great part about Spanish Oaks is the guard gate that won't let anyone in through that's not supposed to be there and the 24/7 security. Definitely feels very safe to me as a resident. Lots of families, couples with young kids living there now and generally everyone who I speak with feels safe there and love the location as its super close to the arts district and the strip and airport.
Yeah I was like is she saying the wrong neighborhood or highlighting the wrong neighborhood? Then when she said the prices I was like oh no, that’s not Spanish Trails.
I somewhat agree. Really depends on the group that’s flipping. Also if their flip has been on the market for over 30 days there’s likely an opportunity to get a deal!

Old homes here in Vegas are better then the new ones
For sure!
Indeed! My friend got a 2018 build, and it's had leaks and mold already.
It looks beautiful, but the bones are bad.
Why’s that?
Old homes and the old neighborhoods. These vintage Vegas neighborhoods have much bigger lots too

When we first moved to Vegas (1977) we lived in Spanish Oaks. Beautiful community!
A pool is a must especially for resale. Only a dozen available under 650k with a pool in the Desert inn- summerlin prkwy- durango west block
North Green Valley here and I would have never known about Spanish Oaks without this video. Thanks so much....
So cool! Great to hear!

Both Spanish Trail and Spanish Oaks are amazing! Different in their own ways!

Im interested to know how the neighborhoods just outside of this area is in comparison ?
Where did you purchase your patio furniture?

Thanks!!
Hi Olga. Can you find us a buyer for the remodel we just did in N Green Valley? Similar type of neighborhood 😊
What's the address?

Henderson… thanks!

Wow that was absolutely impressive. Didn't know that about Spanish Oaks. I've been leaning towards looking at high rise condo.
Yes! There are currently 4 homes on the market in the community! Send me an email at olga@movetolasvegaslv.com and I’d be happy to help!
Paradise area close to everything 💯
Interesting on the grass. I live in a historic neighborhood and they have been converting to desert landscape. Maybe for the kickbacks?
Which neighborhood do you live in?

I totally agree! The rocks will be going, and a water feature is a must! Great ideas! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!!

HOA is too expensive!!
Is there a HOA?, if so,, how much
Sorry, I should have waited until the end 😂
Beautiful neighborhood.
I agree! :)
Watched the whole video and I still don't know where Spanish Oak is located exactly. You might want to add the cross streets to your future videos.
It’s near Sahara and Valley View! 89102

Older neighborhood is more spacious and has a larger backyard than new houses
Just need the pool!
If you like fixing things, old houses are the way to go. Plumbing and sewer, ugh. I hope yours has already been updated!
I'm looking for someone to remodel my kitchen.can you recommend a good contractor
Nice neighborhood but the prices are still way too high for what you get. 70's homes are well built!
Vibes life
Is it true that I have to pay the Realtors commission as a buyer?
In that case I won't be able to afford you
No that’s not true. There’s a lot of sensationalized headlines that are misleading. Sellers are still covering these fees for the most part.
Artificial Grass
what's the zip code of Spanish Oak? Thanks

@6:43 you have Spanish Trails highlighted on the map. Not Spanish Oaks. Just a head's up.
