As a real estate agent in Mesquite Nevada with ERA Brokers Consolidated and a member of Mesquite Chamber of Commerce, I have helped many people buy a home and relocate to Mesquite. Every one has questions and you will have even more after you move here. I hope this answers most of them for you! If you have a question, leave a comment below - I will get the answer for you and add it here. Or just call me!
Mesquite NV is a small town of about 20,000 people - it doesn’t seem like even that many live here - we have quite a few people who buy a 2nd home in Mesquite and aren’t even here that much. Many of them will eventually end up selling their first home somewhere and making a full move to Mesquite.
Visit our own Mesquite Chamber of Commerce website for a start. Many business people, like myself, are a member. If you are in town, stop by the Chamber. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful and they have brochures, newsletters, even postcards that you can send home.
Our Mesquite city has it’s own website with lots of useful information for you, including the major employers. Mesquite is pro-growth and the fastest-growing city in Nevada.
And if you want local news, you can access Mesquite Local online newspaper from any computer!
Right here in Mesquite is Mesa View Regional Hospital, a full service hospital - with Inpatient Acute Care services, outpatient surgery and diagnostics, and a 24/7 Emergency Room.
Mesquite has miles and miles of Walking Trails throughout the city. You can walk or bike along golf courses, scenic desert bluffs or my favorite - the walking trail along the Virgin River, which runs through Mesquite. It has a paved walkway with lights that come on at dusk, and you can wander off and make your own trail! Take your dog, if you have one, but be sure to pick up after him.
We currently have 4 casino hotels here in Mesquite. They all have very well priced Mesquite golf packages that include golf at one or more of our golf courses and staying in one of the hotels.
That is a great way to get a golf
getaway package at a good price - play golf in the daytime and play in the casino in the evening.
You might choose a package that has 3 days of golf on 3 different golfcourses and 3 nights at a hotel. Don’t stay out too late - you will want to get an early tee time, especially in the summer - it is HOT here.
Besides our casinos for 'recreation', we have 6 gorgeous golf courses in Mesquite, including the famous Wolf Creek Golf Course, rated by Golf Digest as one of the top 25 courses in the U.S. and the Palmer Golf Course, home of the Big Break.
Mesquite Bus Company has a shuttle to and from the Las Vegas Airport with several depart/arrive times for your convenience. Make a reservation and choose round-trip or one-way if you decide to just stay forever!
Our state of the art Mesquite City Recreation Center is something you would see in a much larger city.
The Mesquite Recreation Center is for families and singles with programs, classes and activities for young and not-so-young. Annual or monthly passes are available to residents of Mesquite.
You can even play basketball on the air conditioned indoor court and wait till you see the indoor and outdoor pools!
The outside pool is my grandkid's favorite place to go when they visit in the summer. There is also a smaller shallow pool for the almost swimmers and covered picnic areas to get out of the sun and heat.
Speaking of Mesquite weather, yes we have some beautiful weather here. Sunny and ‘golfable’ almost everyday!
Utilities are very reasonable here - Mesquite is all electric, no gas and we are on Overton Power - the rates are quite a bit lower than Las Vegas. Mesquite water is our own and very inexpensive, from aquifers under the area. You will see water towers all around Mesquite. Even with all of the growth, we currently do not have to ration water like some areas of Clark County do. Cable TV is available or DSL from local carriers.
Annual Property Taxes in Mesquite NV and all of Clark County are approximately 1% of the purchase price of a home.
Mesquite Schools are in the Clark County School District. Virgin Valley High School, Hughes Middle School, Virgin Valley Elementary School. Bus service to and from the school is provided for the kids.
Seniors - Mesquite is an active adult kind of town with a wonderful Senior Center - if you are not interested in going to a casino or playing golf, the city of Mesquite sponsors activities and programs just for seniors.
We have several active adult community subdivisions for 55 plus residents and second home owners.
Speaking of active adult communities in Mesquite - Pulte Del Webb brought Sun City Mesquite to us last year - With a
large selection of floor plans and very reasonable prices, it is the best selling Del Webb community in Nevada and the best selling new home subdivision in Mesquite.
The Sun City Mesquite Recreation Center is amazing, with a beautiful indoor pool which is open year round and a huge outdoor swimming pool and spa that overlooks their Conestoga Golf Course.
Membership to the Rec Center with fitness center, billiards room, putting greens, tennis courts and activitiesis included with their HOA monthly fee.
Residents in Sun City also get a discount and preferred tee times at the Conestoga Golf course which is still in construction.
Mesquite has several gated communities on the golf courses - homes right on the golf course, some with views of the courses and some with beautiful views of Mesquite and the mountains. Copper Bluffs has some of the lowest priced homes in a gated community with membership priveledges at the Oasis Golf Club.

Virginia, a terrific job on EVERYTHING one needs to know about Mesquite. I am amazed for a population of 20,000 how much there is there. Outstanding.
Eric - well, it was a secret! :)
Robert - will do!
Gary - Thank you! I am going to keep adding to it. With all the growth here....
You are definitely the go to person for Mesquite!
Sally - thank you, as you definitely are for Milani!
Wow, Virginia, this is such a comprehensive list of information about the area - I am just blown away by how hard you must have worked to create it! If there is anything better than a "go to" person it would have to be you.
ditto to what Lisa wrote. I bet your chamber just links to your blog- great content. Are you going to write my town for me or do I just steal your ideas? just kidding- love your format and pictures. cheryl
Cheryl - Thank you, I just added a tag to the Mesquite NV Chamber of Commerce.
Just steal it!
VIRGINIA: This is an excellent relocation package. I'm sure that anyone looking to relocate to Mesquite will find this to be extremely helpful.
Virginia,
Great presentation and photography. The work putting this resource together is very evident. The photos are so inviting. You might want to add those photos to the Mesquite Localism, along with your other photos of the area.
Richard
Virginia, Great job on the information for your area, looks like a hopping place.
Thanks, Richard - It is a work in progress and I think I will share the pics in Localism, although I have been waiting for the changes they are talking about.
Duane - It is actually a high-growth area, the fastest growing city in Nevada. But you would never know it. I am working on a post about the laid back lifestyle with a video of our '5 o'clock traffic'. Sometimes you have to wait for a minute to see a car go by.
WOW, Mesquite Nevada relocation guide, the best resource I have seen. More useful informaton than the city, and the chamber sites combined.
Nice job Virginia
Virginia, my husband's family is from that area with many relatives still there, so I had to click when I saw the Mesquite Nevada relocation guide. Great job!! With posts like this, that sleepy town will be wide awake with growth.
Awesome job, Virginia. There's no doubt in my mind that I will keep you in mind when I run into someone looking to relocate into your area :)
Elena - thanks - I am glad to help folks thinking about a move to Mesquite. Next time you visit the family, give me a call!
Marzena - thank you! Whether they want to buy or rent in Mesquite - I am here!

V- Just kidding - your post was so good, it's contest worthy. : )
