A mix of rural and suburban lifestyles far from the Las Vegas Strip
Fifteen miles south of the Strip, Enterprise is a young city that quickly grew into one of the most populated communities in Nevada. Established in 1996, Enterprise is situated near the Bull Valley Mountains and offers people a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle with its many master-planned communities. “It has a lot of potential and opportunity for development, but still, there are some rural pockets,” says Chelsea Atwell, a Realtor with Realty Executives of Southern Nevada who was born and raised in Las Vegas. “Some homes have larger lots compared to cities closer to downtown Las Vegas.”
Enterprise is the second fastest-growing city in Nevada and is also considered one of the quickest-growing areas in the U.S. “It’s a popular area because of the proximity. You can get places easily; it’s like you’re sandwiched in the city,” Atwell says. “The area is mostly growing because there’s lots of land to develop.”
Top employers in Clark County include the school district, MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, Amazon and the county government. “The area attracts everyone from retired people to young families to UNLV students,” says Cassandra Mor, a Realtor with The Mor Group who has lived in the area for over two decades. The city’s median household income is $94,000, slightly higher than the national median household income of $81,000.
Rhodes Ranch sits at the heart of Enterprise, fifteen miles south of The Las Vegas Strip.
