Seven Las Vegas neighborhoods to consider...

Deciding upon a neighborhood in which to live in Las Vegas can be a gamble. Whether you’re on a temporary assignment there, or relocating there permanently, it is a good idea to vet out the different Las Vegas suburbs and neighborhoods by first living in them temporarily through Las Vegas corporate housing.  Corporate housing, also known as furnished apartments or serviced apartments, is a complete housing package that includes all rent, furniture, housewares, linens, and utilities including local telephone and basic cable. Furnished apartments have the best that both apartments and hotels can offer because for example a corporate apartment has double the square footage of the average hotel room and includes a kitchen fully stocked with all cooking essentials. In fact, all you will need is a bag of groceries and a suitcase with your personal belongings. While Las Vegas serviced apartment leases are generally short term leases of around 3 months, they can also be as little as 30 days or as long as several years. If you’re looking for a Las Vegas corporate apartment, here are seven options you may want to consider:

1. Downtown Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Strip is where the excitement begins, and if you love the lights of the big city then why not live there? Corporate housing on the Strip is luxurious and has the easiest accessibility to all that Las Vegas has to offer.
2. Lake Las Vegas. Only 17 miles from the Strip, Lake Las Vegas sits in the desert like an oasis. The suburb has world-class hotels and spas, recreation on the lake, and a championship golf course. Lake Las Vegas furnished apartments are upscale and more laid back than the Strip.
3. Green Valley Ranch. If you’re in the market for Green Valley Ranch corporate housing, ask that it be within walking distance of the District or the local resort. The District is an upscale shopping destination with high-end stores and dining. The resort has a casino, spa, and its own nightclubs. Green Valley Ranch has its own excitement apart from the glitz of the Strip, but with a more suburban feel.
4. Seven Hills. The ancient city of Rome was founded on seven hills, and it is from this that the city takes its name. Like all great communities, Seven Hills has access to a superior roads system. It is within a short drive from both the I-215 Beltway and Interstate 15. It also has recreation such as golfing at the Rio Secco golf course, or enjoying the four parks that the city has to offer. All roads will lead you to a Seven Hills furnished apartment.
5. Anthem. Anthem is known for its country club neighborhoods, and also for its active adult retirement communities. If you live in Anthem corporate housing, then much of your day-to-day life is going to revolve around the local country club. The country club has many gated communities, tennis, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a championship golf course designed by Hale Irwin and Keith Foster.
6. Inspirada. The first and only New Urbanist community in the Las Vegas area, Inspirada corporate apartments will inspire you with their design. New Urbanism is an urban design movement that began in the 1980s and promotes walkable neighborhoods and has a variety of housing types to appeal to a variety of job types. Inspirada was not only laid out with beautiful architecture and design, but it was created with the health of its residents in mind. The community offers a variety of recreational activities to keep its members healthy and active.
7. Summerlin. Summerlin corporate housing appeals to corporate travelers with families because of the many public and private schooling options. The tree-lined streets and European roundabouts all lend themselves to what is a beautifully laid out city. There are also a variety of recreation and entertainment activities that make it easy to have children in Summerlin.

Living in Las Vegas corporate housing will give you more time to enjoy the entertainment and excitement that the city has to offer. Your corporate housing provider’s support staff will make sure that your staff is stress free. Furnished apartments will give you more leisure time than any other housing option can. Choosing to live in Las Vegas is an easy decision. Deciding which neighborhood or suburb to live in should be the most difficult part of your stay.
