A Few Words about “Nice, Safe Neighborhoods”

Posted by on March 21, 2012 at 5:02 pm

It isn’t very often that I have something to say worth posting to both my personal and professional websites. This is one of those posts.

Yesterday’s Las Vegas Review Journal featured an item on communities that stopped or scaled back development partway through, resulting in “stranded” homeowners who must contend with abandoned construction sites, fewer businesses and services nearby than they expected, and property values damaged as a result. This isn’t just happening in isolated subdivisions, it’s happening in huge [...]

As a real estate professional, I just don’t understand why some people hate apartments. Frankly, any argument you can make against apartment life can just as easily be leveled at condominium life.

We do love our Master Planned Communities here in Vegas.
