Las Vegas – A Great Place for Retirement

Many retirement communities have settled in the Las Vegas valley including North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Las Vegas. Once you hit retirement, it can be a challenge on deciding where to live out the rest of your life and what you are looking for in a retirement community.

Today, with Las Vegas home prices being so low and interest rates just hitting an all-time low, there is no better time to look at the advantages of living in the valley; it is definitely a buyer’s market.

Besides having the “fun stuff” – golfing, boating, shopping, great dining and entertainment – Las Vegas also offers no income tax, lower housing costs, a dry climate and a low cost of living making it an excellent choice for the active adult. In fact, US News named Las Vegas one of the fastest growing retirement spots in the US.

Just one such retirement community is Ardiente. Ardiente is a 55+ active adult community with easy access to I-15 and close access to the strip and airport. If you are looking for activity, it boasts great amenities with 30-fitness station, beautiful parks, and a park for Fido and a community center that will make you feel like you’ve joined an expensive country club. Nearby golf courses include Shadow Creek, Craig Ranch and Sunrise Vista. When the grandkids and family visit, it’s just a day trip away from Hoover Dam, Lake Mojave, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, and Death Valley.

It’s easy to be caught up in the dream of retirement and forget the retirement reality of deciding which retirement community is best for you. Ask yourself things such as if you are prepared to buy a whole house, and what size home will provide you with the space you desire but will not be hard to upkeep while getting used to living on a retirement budget. This is what your real estate agent is for – to keep you grounded and help you make the best decision for YOU.

Don’t lose sight that the goal is to enjoy the active retirement lifestyle you have worked so hard for. Cover all the bases and treat this like a business decision.
