Whitney sees the Vegas lights and scenic mountains
Away from the hustle and bustle of the Vegas Strip lies the Whitney neighborhood. Residents enjoy their little oasis with lush nature and mountain views to the east and downtown fun to the west. “People move to Whitney for the nearby schools, proximity to the Strip and access to hiking trails in the wetlands,” says Amy Groves, Broker at Nevada’s Finest Properties. “It’s a respectful area.” The neighborhood rests 8 miles from Downtown Las Vegas and 10 miles from the Vegas Strip. A large recreation center, multiple schools and nearby shopping keep residents active.

Spanish-style homes, condos and townhouses
Renters and future homeowners can find townhouses, condos, apartments and single-family homes in gated communities in Whitney. “Renters far outpace homeowners in this neighborhood. Some are renting while waiting for the interest rates to improve,” Groves says. New homes are popping up in master-plan communities like Luna Vista, but construction is slowing down with the limited space. Single-family home prices can range from $300,000 to $500,000. These homes feature yards covered in rocks or pebbles instead of grass, a common theme with Nevada homes. Despite the lack of green grass, palm trees or tall bushes often sit in the front yards to bring a pop of color to the neutral stones.
