Revitalized living on the river

On the eastern shores of the Colorado River, Bullhead City Center is an older section of the city that is entering a new era. “We would call this area Old Bullhead, but there’s nothing historic about it,” says Tara McMullen of Premier Executives Real Estate, who is also a Bullhead City native. “The oldest homes here are from the 1960s, but those are the oldest you’ll find in the city because before that, the dam wasn’t here, and everything was underwater.” Davis Dam, 70 miles south of the more famous Hoover Dam, was completed in 1951, and Bullhead City took shape soon after. While the neighborhood may show its age in home styles, other aspects have gotten a recent facelift. “This area has been a big focus for the city in terms of improvement and beautification over the past couple of years,” McMullen states. There has been an effort to improve the parks and roads, as they are near the beaches and casinos that draw tourists year-round.

Fun at Bullhead City Community Park

Less than one mile south of the neighborhood is Bullhead City Community Park. The 376-acre facility has nearly a mile of beach access on the Colorado River with buoyed swim areas, fishing piers and three boat launches. There’s also a lighted baseball field and a fenced-in dog park for pets to exercise. “The park is one of the projects the city has spent a lot of money on over the past five years,” McMullen says. “It was never scary, but it’s much cleaner than it was a couple of years ago.” Just 3 miles north of the neighborhood is the Colorado River Heritage Greenway Trail, which features 9 miles of riverfront area for hiking and mountain biking. Those who partake in the trail should bring sunscreen and hydrate, as summer temperatures routinely top out at over 115 degrees. For indoor entertainment, Laughlin offers a handful of casinos packed with table games, slot machines and more just west across the river.
