Historic Huntridge: Where Old Las Vegas lives

The rich history of Huntridge unfolds around every corner of this Las Vegas neighborhood. It was developed in the 1940s from a tiny enclave, attracting entertainment luminary Liberace into an older community that peaked in the 1970s when rampant growth and expansion radically changed the Las Vegas landscape. “It’s one of the first tract home subdivisions built anywhere,” says Jack Levine, Realtor and Founder of Very Vintage Vegas Realty and Downtown Las Vegas resident since 1995. Levine is also a City of Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission member specializing in historic and midcentury homes. “It was built in the middle of World War II to house the huge influx of defense workers. They were building what would later become the Nellis Air Force Base.” Shoulder to shoulder with The Strip, Downtown and the Arts District, Huntridge lures newcomers seeking vintage homes and a preserved piece of the past, convenient to it all. “Now, it’s a very cool, fun neighborhood,” he says. “What’s beautiful about it is the centralized location. Huntridge homes tend to be the lowest price compared to popular downtown neighborhoods.”

Historic cottage-style homes

While Huntridge harkens back to traditional housing from World War II with mostly quaint cottages and midcentury moderns, it’s no cookie-cutter neighborhood. “There aren’t two alike now,” Levine says. “Originally, there were two models: 850- and 900-square feet, all two bedroom one bath. A carport under the roofline was designed to be filled in for more room down the road. Many people have converted their carports now into more living space or additions on the back.” Much of the original formats and designs of the 900 homes in the neighborhood have been preserved, which has appealed to buyers who are snapping them up for their sharp geometric lines, large bay windows and single-story low roofline. Newcomers will also find Southwestern-style bungalows and Spanish-style homes. Most homes were built in the 1950s and range from $350,000 to $775,000. Homes boast generous lot sizes and tree-lined streets. And it's extremely easy to get around, with shops, schools and parks just a short walk or bike ride away. Much of the area is referred to as “Maria Elena,” after a street of the same name showcasing the best high-end midcentury modern housing. Newcomers can expect a two- to three-bedroom 1,200-square-foot home on the lower end and four- and five-bedroom 3,500-square-foot houses on the higher end.

Mom and pops and historic hubs

The once longstanding Huntridge Diner inside the old Huntridge Pharmacy was a neighborhood gem. Serving the community since the late 1950s, the retro joint was known for burgers, malt milkshakes and music blaring from the jukebox as customers dined in shiny red booths. It didn’t survive the pandemic, but the classic diner experience lives on Winnie’s & Ethel’s Downtown Diner in the Huntridge Shopping Center, which opened in 2023. The 24-hour family-run spot serves breakfast classics, hearty sandwiches and bottomless coffee. The neighborhood is also home to many mom and pops serving international fare. Dine on bulgogi and kimchi at E Jo Korean, Mexican barbecue at Barbacoa Hidalguense or Salvadoran pupusas at La Pupusa Loka. Or satisfy your sweet tooth at Luv-it Frozen Custard, serving the area for about 50 years. Locals rave about creative flavors like Death by Chocolate and sin-a-buns. Of course, nightlife of every kind is only a short drive away in Downtown Vegas and The Strip. “The major shopping center of Charleston is going through a complete renovation with this local developer,” Levine says, adding that newcomers can expect to see more shopping and dining options to come on the main business corridor. The neighborhood's centerpiece is the Huntridge Theater, an institution since 1943. Opening and closing through the ‘80s and ‘90s, the spotlight returned to the theater in 2021 when Dapper Companies bought the space and has been working ever since to return it to a modern version of its former glory. “They’re in the design process now; it will reopen within a couple of years,” Levine says. “It will have a restaurant and a bar, a small theater and a large theater. It should be a cool thing when it’s done.” Levine said it's been an icon and beloved venue in the community, and residents have rallied around the process to get it back open. “We’ve gotten on the National Register of Historic Places,” says Levine. “It had a long life as an actual movie theater and was the first integrated theater in Las Vegas. It was really popular, and lots of movie premieres were held there.” Bargain hunters flock to Charleston Outlet Thrift and House of Bargains for furniture finds, one-of-a-kind wall art and gently used clothes. Record City has been a local favorite for more than 30 years for vintage vinyl and has earned multiple “Best of Las Vegas” awards. East Charleston Plaza is locals’ go-to for groceries, discount goods and more. Anchored by Albertsons, CVS and Dollar Tree, the 36-store plaza is accessible at the corner of Burnham Avenue and Charleston Boulevard. Located on the neighborhood’s border of East Charleston Boulevard and as seen on the Travel Channel, Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum has been scaring visitors since 2017 and offers experiences such as a late-night flashlight ghost tour.

History comes alive in its parks

Four parks provide residents with plenty of outdoor opportunities. Historic Huntridge Circle Park features an amphitheater with a shaded outdoor stage where locals regularly come out for Cinema in the Circle — a free, recurring, under-the-stars movie screening. A historical marker on the park’s east side details how Huntridge came to be. Residents will find another piece of history within walking distance at Mary Dutton Park. Here, a historical marker honors the sculpture in the middle of the park titled “Breaking Ground,” which was put here as part of the city’s Art in Public Places Project and plan to revitalize the park. The sculpture depicts a surge of water and a 1920s farm plow. The park also offers space for dogs to play and a small area to picnic. At the 18-acre Justice Myron E. Leavitt & Jaycee Community Park, challenge neighbors to bocce, horseshoe and shuffleboard. If you prefer a canine playmate, head to one of the dog runs at Mary Dutton Park.
