Good neighborhoods in Vegas?

I was curious if anyone knows of the good and bad areas to live in Vegas. I have heard that north of Ann street and south of Tropicana road can generally be better areas. Any knowledge of the Vegas neighborhoods in general is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
I like lakelasvegas area the best! https://www.lakelasvegas.com.

Summerlin and Henderson are also good places to live.
I have friends who live in Henderson (green valley area) and another in Summerlin. Both are good areas. Coming from New England, however, I am always shocked at how similar the houses are in Vegas. It's like there is one developer/builder to make them all. If you go to gated communities, it's house after house all the same. Everything is similar colors. I am used to tan houses, white houses, brown houses, green houses, etc. It takes some getting used to. Also many have nice little patios, and my friends never use them - too hot most of the time. How sad.
Benue183, you described a typical southwest subdivision, a sea of pink tile roofs.

Friends live near M Resort - beautiful family neighbourhood - and on the edge of great hiking trails.
Summerlin is the best area. Next is Green Valley and then the SW area of Las Vegas. Tropicana is a long street. On the far west end by Spanish Trail south of Trop is fine. The other parts just south of Trop not so much. As you go south away from Trop the better it gets. Green Valley is just a few miles south of Trop.
Lots of nice homes off Blue Diamond Rd. now. They've really built that area up.
I would stay away from this neighborhood...

A 23-year-old Las Vegas woman was arrested Tuesday for having sex with a pit bull in a yard.

The incident happened shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19. Police officers were dispatched to a home in the 300 block of North 16th Street, near Bonanza Road and Bruce Street.

Upon arrival, police officers said they observed the woman engaging in a sex act with the pit bull in a backyard, within sight of neighbors and passerby.

The city of Las Vegas is a real jumble; it's not uncommon to have middle class single family homes next to Section 8 housing next to huge luxury estates next to commercial areas. So the newer "good neighborhoods," like the aforementioned Summerlin, Henderson, and Lake Las Vegas are a more homogeneous choice.

If by good neighborhood you mean low crime, there are any number of crime maps available at the touch of a Google. If good means good schools, move to a different state that actually gives a shit about children. If a good neighborhood means nearby medical care, may I suggest living near the airport. It's where locals go for quality medical care.

And if you're adventurous, hip, fearless - and therefore probably young - Fremont East is gradually being transformed by the Downtown Project and a couple of hundred million dollars from Tony Hsei. As far as I'm concerned, walkable neighborhoods like that really are the coolest places to live, and unwalkable, car-centric 'burbs lead to boredom, isolation, and excessive television watching. That's not good.

Ah yes, the "ghetto walk" man knows all about "walkable neighborhoods - not!.
