A growing community just north of the central Las Vegas action

Busy with new growth and famous for its mainstay favorites, Downtown North Las Vegas is a thriving community less than 10 miles north of the Las Vegas Strip. "It's a vibrant district," says Nick Devitte, Realtor with Real Broker who's been selling in the area since 2016, "that's really close to all the trendy bars and restaurants in the Fremont Street Experience, and it's seeing some significant growth. It's exciting and enjoyable, and the commercial zones have their share of colorful characters."

New Gateway development, busy Broadacres Marketplace

Residents in Downtown North Las Vegas will be immediate neighbors to the new NLV Gateway project underway at Lake Mead Boulevard and Las Vegas Boulevard. This $200 million project is being master planned by Agora Realty to reimagine central downtown as a modern residential, business and cultural hub. The plan incorporates multifamily residential, business offices, medical services, restaurants, shops and gathering spaces. "It's a roughly 20-acre development, consisting of six sites," says Brittany West, City of North Las Vegas economic development manager. "And it's expected to bring more than 900 new jobs to the downtown core. They've thought of everything — even Tesla charging stations." The project broke ground in 2022 and expects to reach completion in 2026. Residents also have their pick of gaming entertainment. Several neighborhood casinos cater to locals, including Jerry's Nugget Casino. In addition to its slots, bingo and gaming tables, Jerry's offers a 24-hour café featuring 75 entrees. Bighorn Casino touts "the loosest machines around," where locals take their winnings into its restaurant — also open 24 hours — and order the famous bourbon burger. Movie lovers head to Maya Cinemas North Las Vegas to catch the latest blockbuster while enjoying a good meal. "You'll notice a lot of Hispanic influence here among the small businesses," says West, "and you have great access to walkable shops and family-owned restaurants." Many locals kick back with live music and tacos at Mariscos Las Islitas, a local go-to known for its big portions and brightly colored palm tree murals. Broadacres Marketplace's swap meet and fairground-style fun are always a community draw. The market spans 44 acres and brims with everything from food and apparel to music and classic fairground rides for kids. It's also a destination for live music and dancing, hosting notable musical groups such as Banda Corona del Rey, Banda Cuisillos and Banda Tora. Residents grab essentials at Mariana's Supermarket or stock up on groceries at La Bonita Supermarket.

Established ranch-style homes and duplexes

Most homes in Downtown North Las Vegas are modest ranches built in the 1950s and 1960s, with a handful of duplexes popular with investors. Several homes have seen interior renovations, including new cabinetry and granite countertops. "It's a strong appeal for many buyers," says Realtor Sam Cohen of Huntington and Ellis, broker salesperson and team lead with the Cohen Group. "I think it's a great, family-friendly, entry-level neighborhood," Cohen says. "If you want a single-family home with a decent-sized yard, you can get something for under $400,000." A small selection of condos and townhouses range from $130,000 to $200,000, and single-family homes ask between $170,000 and $450,000. Sparse trees dot the area's wide sidewalked streets, providing pops of color against sparse desert landscaping. The neighborhood gets a crime score of 6 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average of 4 out of 10. Revitalization projects from street improvements to landlord incentives to the new Gateway NLV intend to improve the city's identity and help increase residents' feeling of community.
