Whitney: A small recreational city near the Las Vegas strip
Whitney is a suburban mountainside community with extensive desert landscapes, known for its relatively low housing prices compared to Las Vegas 9 miles away. “What pulls people there is the price points,” says Robin Smith, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and a Las Vegas native. “Also, the proximity means people can hop on [the highway] and reach downtown in just 20 minutes and the airport in 10 minutes.” Whitney has tons of recreation, including wetlands, hiking trails and plenty of pocket parks; views of the surrounding River Mountains are visible from every angle.
The city is a part of Clark County, where major employers include the Nellis Air Force Base, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the casino and entertainment industries. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city’s average household income is $64,000, compared to $80,000 nationally, and its population in 2020 was 49,000.
