When it comes to Las Vegas, I suspect many people will know little of this fine city beyond the world of the casino, the shows, and the Las Vegas Strip. Though it may have started as a purely entertainment-based town, it has come a long way since that genesis. Of course, it still plays host to some of the greatest casino hotels, resorts, performance venues, and entertainment options to be found anywhere in the US but, over the years, it has become a city that can now rival so many others for reasons to live there.
When you think of cities, you often think of the infrastructure. By that, I mean things like the availability and cost of family homes, the quality of the local education system, the amenities, the green spaces, and the overall livability, as it were. Beyond the lights of the Las Vegas Strip, this is a city that now excels in so many of these areas. When people ask “what is Las Vegas’ famous for?” few would perhaps say executive properties, family communities, excellent schooling, and green spaces that are designed for the pleasure and leisure of the local population. But this is what this city has in abundance.
It may be a hub for global casinos and entertainment, but when it comes to lifestyle and industry, this is also a place that continues to rise up the ranks in terms of desirable spots to live, and the reasons for that are also growing. Having been involved in real estate copywriting projects during the early days of Summerlin and Henderson, I know how far the infrastructure of this desert city has risen, and how that has impacted the wider world of industry in the city and state. Let’s take a look at this impact and how this city continues to thrive in more ways than you would perhaps think.
Family-First Approach Ensures Property And Schools Thrive
When you consider the world of industry, there are many reasons why companies choose where to set up, and new businesses decide to start up. One of those, when you go beyond the market potential for that particular business or industry, is the ability to attract a good workforce. Having a business in a place where people want to live as well as work is critically important, as any commercial operation team will, I am sure, be happy to confirm and concede.
When Las Vegas first started to expand in terms of industry and infrastructure, places such as Green Valley Ranch, Summerlin, Henderson, and Westgate were genuinely visionary. Not only did they each have a blueprint for a family-first residential suburb, but they ensured that the education, schools, and property choices were up there with the best of other major cities across the country. This included more green initiatives too, making it an environmentally friendly infrastructure, with solar panels and electric vehicle charging points becoming a standard part of these new suburban havens.
With any new district, there are so many considerations in terms of infrastructure, amenities, and the creation of places where people not only want to live, but aspire to be, to grow their family, and to put down roots. Perhaps in the past, Las Vegas did not spring to mind with such criteria, but today, it most certainly does. One look at things such as the tennis academies, the dedicated green spaces for families, the consistently performing school districts, and, of course, the sustained value of property shows that this family-first approach to the new communities outside downtown Las Vegas is clearly propitious.
Bringing Business, Building Prosperity, Creating The Future
For any town, city, municipality, or region, the sustainability and growth of the local economy and infrastructure are inseparable. Put another way, attracting business and industry is a critical part of being able to make your location attractive for homebuyers, and especially families when it comes to desirable property hotspots. In the case of this city, the prosperity has gone way beyond the famous casino and entertainment industry. Las Vegas now has top-notch sports and excellent youth sports leagues, and a growing number of family-friendly communities and family-driven events.
Naturally, this is helped by the year-round weather that is conducive to outdoor family activities too, but it all adds up to one thing: With this increase in livability, more businesses are now seeing it as a place to thrive. In turn, this brings prosperity to commercial operations, and to those who live and work there. But what do the statistics say? Well, the metro population of Las Vegas-Henderson continues to grow, as does the population of surrounding areas and those that are being built even now.
Whether it is business, industry, or livability, I find that Las Vegas and the glorious surrounding areas are now a match for many more traditionally family-orientated places. I bet that with everything I have written in this article, many are already thinking about the city differently… as I said, it is so much more than casinos; it’s real estate, education, and fun for all the family.
