Eclectic west-side enclave • mix of 1970s ranches, guard-gated golf estates & vibrant Chinatown corridor
Spring Valley spreads west from Decatur Boulevard to roughly Rainbow Boulevard and south from Sahara Avenue to Warm Springs Road. Once the frontier of Las Vegas’s suburban push, it now offers one of the city’s broadest housing and lifestyle spectrums: classic single-story ranch homes shaded by mature palms, 1980s two-story tract neighborhoods, lake-adjacent patio homes, sleek infill town-homes, and multimillion-dollar golf-course estates behind guarded gates. Condos begin in the low $300 Ks, most three- to four-bedroom houses trade in the mid-$400 Ks to upper $600 Ks, and custom homes in Spanish Trail or The Lakes crest $1 million–$3 million. All of it sits ten minutes from the Strip yet feels worlds apart thanks to tree-lined streets, sprawling regional parks and a dining scene that spans every cuisine imaginable.
