Spring Valley, Nevada

Spring Valley butts right up against The Vegas Strip. That means if you work there, you have an incredibly short commute. Spring Valley was created to serve as a bedroom community for people working on The Strip who needed housing. The second best part is that it is NOT a master-planned community. Most of the suburban towns around Vegas are master-planned and pretty cookie-cutter in terms of housing. Spring Valley is much older than other cities and has more urban energy and more diverse housing (albeit suburban style).

If you crave a master-planned, “neighborhood” structure, then Spring Valley, or at least much of it, won’t work for you. If being next to The Strip is just a bit crazy for you, then much of Spring Valley won’t work for you. There are definitely some neighborhoods that are “planned” and more suburban style AND are farther from The Strip, but again, much of the area has that mixed-use, more busy vibe.

Spring Valley is a suburban city (albeit unincorporated) that is a bit less suburban than neighboring master-planned cities like Summerlin in part due to the fact it borders The Strip. Your lifestyle, at least for many, is on The Strip. In part because they work on The Strip and go out there after, and in part because it is such a huge draw for nightlife whether you work there or not. There is also a suburban, family-centric energy to other parts of Spring Valley in which many of the locals may never hit The Strip.

We highly recommend visiting Spring Valley and staying in the community in a VRBO rather than a hotel to get a feel for what it's like to live among the locals. You can receive discounted fares on travel via our partnership with Expedia as well.

As was noted, Spring Valley borders The Strip so most of the residents do the short commute to the casinos or other businesses that serve the tourist industry. While there are other industries in the area you can count on most of your neighbors working in Vegas.
