In Winchester, the bright lights of Las Vegas Strip attractions blend into the relative calm of sidewalk-lined residential streets. An unincorporated community just outside downtown Las Vegas, Winchester offers the duality of gleaming high-rise condos, casinos and hotels on its west side and traditional single-family homes in a suburban setting on its east side. Residents are close to an abundance of amenities no matter where they live, from entertainment to retail to dining. “There’s a lot to do in that area because you have all sorts of shopping and great proximity to the Strip,” says Anna Kitras, who’s the team leader of the Kitras Real Estate Group with Fathom Realty and has almost 30 years of experience.
Areas like Paradise Palms are a respite from the action
The high rises taking up some of the distant skyline are a reminder of the location, but eastern Winchester is otherwise removed from the glamour synonymous with Las Vegas. Instead, this section of the community is made up of winding, mostly residential streets. Homes fill subdivisions like Paradise Palms, Greenbriar and the gated Las Vegas Country Club, and some date back to the 1960s. Prices start at $230,000 for a fixer-upper and top out at $1.3 million for a spacious custom build. East Winchester has townhouses that also date to the ’60s and sell for $170,000 to $400,000. Most of Winchester’s tall condo buildings are clustered on the western half of the neighborhood, closer to Las Vegas Boulevard. Some of them come with prime views of the Strip, and they cost anywhere from $100,000 to $2.5 million based on location and square footage. “A lot of people will retire in townhomes and condos,” Kitras says. “In some areas, it’s pretty quiet. In some areas it’s urban. In general, it’s a good area.”
Abundant amenities in Winchester and beyond
Winchester’s location is one of the things that attracts people here. Las Vegas welcomes well over 40 million visitors annually, but locals take advantage of amenities along the Strip, too. “A lot of people will go there and work there,” Kitras says. Besides casinos, residents enjoy the numerous restaurants and shopping centers like The Forum Shops at Caesars, which has three levels filled with retail. Maryland Parkway is another commercial thoroughfare that cuts through Winchester with more restaurants, big-box stores and groceries, including Smith's, and the 834-bed Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. Carlito's Cuban Food is among the local eateries on the parkway, a cafeteria-style spot serving up a variety of traditional dishes.
Countless events, from New Year's fireworks to a wine festival
The area features events galore from week to week. But among the significant annual events close by is the Las Vegas Food & Wine Festival in October at Winchester’s Resorts World Las Vegas and the America’s Party New Year’s Eve celebration, when fireworks launch from nine hotel-casinos on the Strip.
STEM instruction stands out in the Clark County School District
This area is covered by the Clark County School District, a system with a B rating on Niche. CCSD is the fifth-largest school district in the country with more than 300,000 students across 383 schools. Students in Winchester may attend a variety of campuses depending on where they live, but one possible path is to start at the C-minus-rated Robert E. Lake Elementary before attending the C-plus-rated K.O. Knudson Academy of the Arts for grades 6 to 8. The C-rated Valley High has an academy of hospitality and tourism, and emergency management magnet programs, among others.
Winchester’s cultural center has a lot to offer
The Winchester Dondero Park and Cultural Center is within walking distance of many residents on the community's east side. The park includes a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts and a skate park. The cultural center offers various programming, including dance classes and guitar lessons. Other green spaces in the area include Justice Myron E. Leavitt & Jaycee Community Park, where there’s outdoor fitness equipment and bocce courts, and Baker Park, which is popular for soccer. Winchester’s Las Vegas Country Club is a membership-only facility with an 18-hole golf course.
Residents have quick access to interstates
Winchester falls between a pair of interstates in I-15 and I-11. Commuters can use I-11 to reach nearby cities like Henderson and Boulder City, both within 25 miles. I-15 is also a connection to Los Angeles, 270 miles away. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada’s bus service is a way to travel locally, as is the Las Vegas Monorail — the Westgate Station is in Winchester. The neighborhood is also just 4 miles from the Harry Reid International Airport for those heading out of town by air.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
