Lake Las Vegas is quietly becoming one of the most successful second home markets in all of Nevada. While other luxury communities serve primarily full-time residents, Lake Las Vegas serves a large number of second-home buyers who want a place to escape to, recharge at, and enjoy without having to be concerned about constant maintenance or hectic environments.
From my perspective as the Broker of Simply Vegas Real Estate, and as a homeowner in Roma Hills while serving a multitude of second-home buyers in Lake Las Vegas, I have seen this trend repeatedly. Second-home buyers continually seek out Lake Las Vegas because it provides them with something very unique. It has the feeling of being a destination; it doesn't simply offer another house.
In the following article, I explain why Lake Las Vegas is so well-suited for second-home buyers, and what aspects make it so appealing to those that divide their time between multiple locations.
The moment you enter the Lake Las Vegas community, it feels like a vacation. That instant emotional shift is critical for second-home buyers.
Second-home buyers want to create an immediate separation from their day-to-day life. Lake Las Vegas creates that as soon as you go through the entrance.
Second-home buyers experience:
Serenity
Space
Quiet
Nature
Slower pace
Unlike typical neighborhoods, Lake Las Vegas doesn’t feel like an extension of the city. It feels like a refuge.
That emotional break is the primary reason second-home buyers select it as a secondary home.
Maintenance is built into the design of many properties
There are a variety of options available to second-home owners in terms of low-maintenance properties
Because of its variety of properties, Lake Las Vegas offers a wide selection of property types for owners who do not reside at their property year-round. Some examples of these property types are:
Townhouses and condominiums
Gated villages that provide exterior maintenance services
Homeowners Association (HOA) managed properties
Properties that require less lawn care and/or exterior maintenance
Second-home owners greatly benefit by knowing that their property is protected and maintained while they are away. This peace-of-mind is critical for lock-and-leave ownership.
Privacy and Security are major selling points
Buyers want to feel safe when they are not physically present at their property
Safety is a primary concern for second-home owners. Lake Las Vegas provides:
Access-controlled entry points
Gated villages
Private areas such as SouthShore
Respectful and calm resident base
