These people water their lawns - against the law! Plus, we'll talk about where you can move in Vegas, too!

Everyone’s moving to Las Vegas. Well, not everyone, but it IS one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Lots of people want a warm climate and a much cheaper cost of living. I mean there is no income tax here. And look around. There’s plenty of room for more people. There might not be enough water, but there’s enough land.

In Las Vegas, there are lower class areas with rundown apartments and shootings all over the place. Then you have some middle class areas like Henderson. But there are some really super fancy communities here, too. And that’s what we’re going to look at today.

Ask anyone in Las Vegas where the biggest homes and the richest people live and they’ll tell you about two communities - Summerlin and Southern Highlands. On this drive, we’re going to check out Southern Highlands.

Southern Highlands is a gated community on the south end of the Vegas metro area - pretty much the last place you drive past as you head south out of Las Vegas. It’s in the foothills with really nice views of downtown.

The average home price here is six hundred thousand bucks, but there are some MEGA mansions here. There’s a golf course inside and a tennis club and shopping and a spa and a country club. There’s medical facilities, parks and a private police department. And inside this place are three elementary schools and a prep school that charges more than $15k a year to attend. Yes, this gated community has four schools inside its walls.

Some of the wealthiest people in Las Vegas live here. The average households earn well over $100k a year but many make WAY more than that. Toni Braxton, Raiders QB Derek Carr, singer Nick Carter, former baseball player Reggie Jackson, Penn from Penn and Teller, boxer Floyd Mayweather, MMA star Colin McGregor, Shaq and other famous people have homes in here.

We’re going to just drive around this neighborhood for a while and talk with a realtor in the area who knows all about it. That way, you can get some perspective on how the wealthy families in Las Vegas live.

  • I moved out of Vegas before it got insane, 96...living up in Summerlin definitely gave a feeling of power, looking down into the valley, seeing the cityscape at night from my roof in desert shores over lake Jacqueline is something I'll never forget...
  • @W3Slots
    Born and raised and still here in Vegas. My mom would always drive me around areas with mansions. Particularly off of Hollywood. These new areas are nice to see. It motivates me 🤪🤙🏽
  • @Alohababylove
    There are many rich and exclusive homes in Henderson, Anthem, Seven Hills, Southern Highlands, Lake of Las Vegas, Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch and little gated pocket neighborhoods throughout Vegas and Henderson.

    The funny thing is, if you're a peasant who lives in the middle class areas or whatever, they are constantly sending you notifications from the water company reminding you about the strict watering regulations. But as you can see, if you live over there.... I highly doubt they keep up all those plants / grass only watering a few times a week lol

    .....🇺🇸❇.....2 those complaining about the weather in Vegas simply because it's hot & dry keep in mind..... 1. No hurricanes 2. No tornadoes 3. No/minimal humidity 4. No snow/nor ice/sleet (issues when walking/driving) 5. No alligators & fewer bugs/pests 6. Not outside mainland US 7. Not as expensive/cheaper vs say NY, Cali or Hawaii.....
  • @c_w2266
    Look at all those green lawns!! Wow!! You’d never even know we’re in a catastrophic drought livin in that neighborhood!…..
  • Vegas is beautiful. I did not know Las Vegas was that pretty. The homes are just downright gorgeous out there. It’s super clean out there too.

    I grew up in Vegas (from 72-96) and my dad was a master carpenter along with 2 of my uncles (his brothers) and my brother. They worked on some of the homes in The Highlands as well as Steeple Chase area. I got married to a military man and left the area very shortly after and haven't been back since. My mother is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in N. Las Vegas. So yeah, I do remember Vegas when it was a heck of a lot smaller (far less people) than it is now. When I was a kid growing up there, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot for kids to do, you could go to the "Slip-N-Slide", movies, roller skating rinks, Circus Circus for the shows upstairs..etc.. but otherwise, not much else there for kids to do back then. Now, they've made it way more fun for kids/families to enjoy. I've considered moving back a few times but my husband is from the East Coast and since most of my family is now gone, we stay pretty much close to his family. Take Care everyone, enjoy your time in Vegas (if your making plans to visit anytime soon).
  • My wife and I used to live in one of those ritzy-rich areas outside Chicago but she wanted to relocate back to Chicago so there we have it. All things considered it worked out for the best. We're both in our late 70's and have health issues. We now live in the Medical district with ready medical assistance if we need it.

    Do not confuse Downtown Las Vegas with Unincorporated Las Vegas, which includes the Strip. Downtown Las Vegas is the old Vegas: the Golden Nugget, El Cortez, etc.
  • @travelingterrys
    We moved to Vegas pre pandemic because we loved the cost of living in Vegas… now… we are already ready to leave 😒 prices are going up, # of people is crazy, not the same 😢
  • I moved my family to Southern Highlands to escape the insanity of LA, and this was the best decision we made. It's an amazing place specially if you have small children. The best schools money can buy and the residents are the most welcoming and polite. Nothing beats the peace of mind of safety and top grade schools without the insanity you hear happening around the country. That alone is worth every penny.
  • Your videos just get better and more mature and wise over time. Your awesome.
  • @Pennychaser1
    I'm just a peasant living in an average home in Rhodes Ranch, another guard gated golf course community. Southern Highlands is definitely an area I would like to live in someday!
  • @chrisjas3129
    Personally, I hate gated communities, but I sure have mad respect for Nick. He gives a full range of various places ppl live, maps are awesome and his side kick Mappy is adorable. Thank you.
  • @callieduval3000
    Let me say this I moved here last August yes it was hot but this is the desert. End of September cool down and October thru March cold and April and may nice and pleasant still get cold days in April. Even in the hot months the night is not 103 degrees like someone said here he's clearly lying. It's windy here during the winter months at least 3 times a week. Strong winds and dusty too. 80 degrees here is a cooler 80 degrees than on the east coast. And when it rains it's an event! Love it here and staying
