Michael Way offers suburban living Harry Reid International Airport

Nestled between Rancho Drive to the east and Interstate 95 to the west, Michael Way is an eclectic neighborhood of subdivisions whose appealing mix of homes gives buyers ample choice when looking for proximity to shopping and dining. Michael Way is also just 15 miles northwest of Harry Reid International Airport, convenient for getaways or business travel.

Homes range from condos to million-dollar custom estates

Built between the 1960s and mid-2000s, dwellings here range from modest condos and town houses to sprawling custom estates. For a monthly fee, residents in homeowner’s associations enjoy amenities like a community clubhouse and tennis courts. Mostly, though, Michael Way is street after street of older single-story homes on modest desert-landscaped lots. When they come on the market, these properties boast appealing updates like remodeled kitchens and covered patios great for hosting friends or enjoying your morning cup of coffee. Larger lots accommodate RV parking, perfect for when the open road beckons. Homebuyers can expect to pay from the low $200,000s for a two-bedroom multi-family home and more than $1 million for a custom home with no HOA and luxuries like a guest house and wine cellar. For $700,000, you can add personal touches to a custom three-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot property on a spacious lot. Bring your horses, your water toys or your car collection, as there’s no HOA in this enclave.
