Nevada is truly a state with two personalities—that of the thrill-seeker and that of the rugged independent. Within the thriving downtown areas and suburbs of its major metropolitan areas (Las Vegas, Reno, and the Tahoe region), the economic life of the community is centered on the state’s famous nightlife scene, internationally known for its dazzling neon-lined streets and its bustling casinos.

However, away from these consolidated areas is an entirely different world: a vast open space of sparsely populated valleys and desert. The vast majority of this interior region, the chief industries of which are mining and ranching, is government-owned, making rural Nevada one of the few remaining places in America where one can live in relative quiet under an open sky, far from the bright lights of the city.

Real estate listings confirm that Nevada is the fastest growing state in the union. Homeowners are increasingly being drawn to Nevada’s low housing costs and the high availability of apartments, condominiums, and townhouses within its urban centers. The peace of the countryside combined with the excitement of the casino scene makes it an ideal retirement location for seniors, who form a significant portion of the incoming population. For younger residents, jobs in the Las Vegas and Reno areas are plentiful, and offer a significant inducement to the purchase of homes in the areas. A realtor or other qualified real estate agent can provide more information on housing availability within the state.
