Rural life in the Las Vegas Valley
Rural life in Las Vegas might seem farfetched, but River Mountain delivers just that, trading the slots for scenic trails and the neon lights for nature. At the base of the River Mountains in the Las Vegas Valley, this rustic neighborhood is surrounded by trails and outdoor fun with an active community passionate about exploring and preserving its surroundings. Its location in the mountains, separating Henderson from Lake Mead, offers residents a peaceful refuge away from the noise and congestion of the city. While an active outdoor lifestyle appeals to newcomers and longtime locals, River Mountain is only a short drive from the Vegas Strip, historic Boulder City and the vibrant shopping district in Downtown Henderson. “It’s a world away from the typical Vegas that people tend to think of,” says Shelly Kopinski, Director of Programs for Get Outdoors Nevada and resident for over 25 years. “Hiking and biking are the norm every weekend, and with so many things to do outside that you can easily get to, I think most people don’t even miss that.”

Miles of trails in the River Mountains
Residents can access a world of outdoor adventures within steps of their front doors. The 34-mile River Mountains Loop Trail, with trailheads right within the neighborhood, winds through the mountain range and connects Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Hoover Dam and the rest of the valley. “This did so much for the community when it was developed and opened,” says Kopinski. “It brought it to life. I’m out there all the time with my family, and there’s always people out there and wildlife to see.” This trail, completed in 2012, was an effort started in 1996 by several local citizens and agencies. By 1997, a plan officially took shape with the help of the National Park Service-Lake Mead, the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Henderson, Lake Las Vegas Resort and 26 other local, federal, regional and corporate partners to launch the River Mountain Trail Partnership. “It was a long process for so many people fighting for this, and now I can't imagine this neighborhood without it and what it does for tourism and locals,” Kopinski says. Not only is it popular with hikers, cyclists, pet owners and equestrians for its paved and natural paths, but also wildlife like mountain lions, bobcats and bighorn sheep. The sheep are a frequent companion on the trail as the River Mountains are home to one of the largest bighorn sheep populations in the state. The southern and northern ends of the trail connect hikers and cyclists to other surrounding trails in Henderson, including those in Lake Mead, the Burkholder Trail and the Wetlands Trail Connector. The trail also provides campsites for those who want to extend their outdoor adventure. The neighborhood’s 170-acre Equestrian Park South will also appeal to horseback riders and pet owners. It offers an equestrian arena, a 2-mile dirt path, an open grass area, a paved trail, parking for horse trailers and a dog park. The park has three adjoining loops connecting to the Equestrian Trailhead and Equestrian Park North, which also offers an arena and horse-holding pen. Kids and sports enthusiasts will enjoy the 9-acre River Mountain Park, which boasts basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, along with a playground and picnic area. In the warmer months, residents can take a 10-mile trip north to Lake Las Vegas. The artificial lake offers an inflatable waterpark, flyboarding and boating.

Homes with unmatched mountain views
Developed between 1996 and 2017, the neighborhood offers condos, townhouses, single-family homes and custom construction, many in gated communities or with homeowner’s associations. Most homes were built in the mid-1990s and range from $290,000 to $800,000. Newcomers can expect three-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot Spanish-inspired homes and ranch-style properties in the lower price range and five-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot homes on spacious lots on the higher end. Condos range from $223,00 for a two-bedroom to $245,000 for a three-bedroom. Streets here are wide, and lots are spacious, with most averaging over 6,500 square feet to over a quarter of an acre. Some homes offer RV parking, outbuildings and even basements, and most come with multi-car garages, pools and spacious driveways. The gated Old Vegas Ranch, a subdivision of townhouses and single-family homes ranging from $240,000 to $350,000, offers a community pool, a skate park and play areas for kids. The Magic View Estates, on the neighborhood’s eastern border, lives up to its name as residents enjoy unobstructed views of the sunrise over the mountain from their backyards. While each subdivision boasts different amenities, all neighborhood residents can easily walk or bike to nearby trailheads and parks to enjoy the outdoors.

Mom and pops and casinos within the neighborhood
Most shopping and dining options are along State Route 582, which runs along the neighborhood’s western edge. Hometown Country Kitchen in the Henderson Shopping Village serves up comfort classics like chocolate chip pancakes, patty melts and homemade meatloaf. The shopping center also offers Sunset Pizzeria and covers most other shopping needs, offering Smith’s Food & Drug, Dollar Tree, a gas station and a bank. Cinemark Cinedome Henderson is on the other side of the highway, where residents can catch the latest flick, or Club Fortune is another nearby option for those who crave the typical Vegas Strip experience but loathe the tourist crowds. The casino offers slots, video poker, a sportsbook and a cafe. Railroad Pass has also been catering to the local thrill-seekers since 1931. The casino and hotel boast a steakhouse, a sportsbook, a lounge and a 24-hour museum highlighting the local mining history with antique slot machines. “For people that are into gaming and a fun nightlife experience, it’s nice to have that close by,” she says. History buffs can enjoy River Mountain’s Clark County Museum for a deeper dive into the area's past. The 30-acre site offers a variety of historic homes and buildings depicting Nevada life in different decades, as well as a ghost town and a mining exhibit.

Top marks for River Mountain schools
Clark County School District serves the area, and local students attend John Dooley Elementary within the neighborhood, followed by Elton M. Garrett Junior High School and Boulder City High School. Dooley, which has a large garden and greenhouse for interactive outdoor learning, holds a B-minus Niche grade, and the middle and high schools both earned a B. Boulder City High, which opened in 1943 to account for the drastic influx of families coming with the dam's workers, offers soccer and football teams, a theater club and advanced placement courses. Local students can also attend River Mountains’ Pinecrest Academy of Nevada, a charter elementary school that tops many “best schools” lists with its STEM-focused curriculum and artistic opportunities.

A community uniting over the outdoors
The River Mountain Loop Trail doesn’t just draw residents into the outdoors; it is a public-private partnership between the city and Gets Outdoors Nevada, collaborating to educate and bring the community together. The non-profit organization hosts regular night bike rides, picnics in Equestrian Trail Park South, annual River Mountain Trail cleanups and triathlons. “We try to do as much as we can to keep the trail clean and keep people involved with what we’re doing,” Kopinski says. “We want people to get outside and have fun doing whatever they’re into, so we try to plan things that families, kids, those new to the area and everyone in between can do and enjoy.”
