    I wouldn't live anywhere near the strip due to vagrants and homeless people.
    PropertyVegas.com can help you find a safe, clean neighborhood.
    Another poster mentioned Zillow.com, which is where I found my house, then PropertyVegas.com helped me buy it.
    Wife and I went to Inspirada a few days ago and looked around and that's a really nice area. She's trying to strongarm me into selling our house and buying there.
    We now live in Seven Hills, Henderson,NV which is also a fantastic community. We chose Seven Hills because it's safe and immaculately clean and excellent schools.

    Holy Moses! Henderson looks like that now??
    When I was stationed at Nellis back in 79-80, Henderson was called Hooterville. Nothing but empty desert from Sams Club casino to there.

    I tried to talk the wife into moving/retirement in Vegas but she says it's too hot.
    She comes from northern Mn and thinks 75 is plenty hot.

    Yes, it's hot, but the humidity is so low, the heat is not uncomfortable.

    Yeah, Henderson is beautiful. Wasn't familiar with Henderson at all until we decided to move to Las Vegas. Discovered Henderson & Las Vegas border each other and can't really notice if you're in Henderson or Las Vegas other than Henderson is so clean and very rare to see a piece of litter.

    I stopped at the Love's in Buckeye recently and decided to grab a burger from Whopperville. When I tasted the Sprite from the soda fountain, I noticed the flavor was way off. Usually, when fountain flavor is off, the syrup to soda ratio needs adjustment.

    So, I mentioned this to the manager, and she said that the poor water quality was likely to blame. Remembering my shower earlier at Love's, I knew she was right.

    Does municipal water come from wells in that neighborhood? I lived in Tucson for over 20 years, and there was plenty of hard water, but what I encountered in Buckeye was much worse.

    Henderson is nice. Clean with wide streets and avenues. Lots of new construction going on.

    89052 - is zip code we decided on. Lots of beautiful communities in this zip code.
    "Inspirada" is in this zip code. I just checked Zillow.com and there are many nice homes for sale. Also, plenty of condo's and apartments in 89052.

    I'm about 4 miles due East of Loves & Burgerwhopper, and my neighborhood is older and on a different well than the newer buildings on Miller road.

    Last I heard, City of Buckeye was on 4 different wells and the further South you go from Loves, the worse the water is.

    I lived in Tucson for 15yrs and no way would I say every neighborhood is bad. There are lots of nice areas in and around Tucson.

    Green Valley and Sahuarita exploded in population and were having crime issues when I left in 2012.

    P. S. Op Texas is full. No new starts here.
