Housing is very affordable, and neighbors are great! Clark County public schools in general rank low, so education is not good. Broadacres Marketplace is a fun neighborhood event for everyone as there is good music, food, and dancing. Police officers are highly racist, so people of color get stopped for no real reason routinely; your safety is questionable here if you are a person of color. North Las Vegas is part of the main metropolitan Las Vegas, so the air is no good-- sometimes the smog is so thick that you cannot really see the stratosphere even though it should be in plain view. Many good jobs move to the suburbs, like Summerlin, Aliante, Blue Diamond, and south of Henderson. The jobs here in North Las Vegas is mainly fast food and retail.
So far in my life, I only have lived in North Las Vegas Nevada. While everyone who is newer to North Las Vegas sees it as amazing and exciting, it’s just a normal town like any other place. Yes, we do have casinos and gambling however, North Las Vegas is separate from Down Town Vegas. Prices are average, gas is rising and construction takes place everywhere within the city. There is tons of new development, new franchises coming in and the housing is sky rocketing. There is a lot of food options, stores around every corner, shopping centers full of random activities and, tons of volunteer opportunities to take part in. Although N Las Vegas is booming, it’s not the safest city, we have crime, vandalism and theft around N Las Vegas. Making it unsafe for individuals to go out at night or attend social events alone. Plus, the education here is not at its best, making it a high fail rate. Overall, I wish to see more safety measures, less road construction and, a better education system.
North Las Vegas is a very honeyed and comforting place to live. They put a lot of effort into maintaining this area of Las Vegas, as the entirety of the city is different from North Las Vegas in many different ways. It is a sweet suburb, full of promised safety and friendly faces you are bound to frequent when you shop in your local businesses or frequent your local parks with your family. Here, you exist right at the foot of the mountain's edge, finding yourself reaching places nearest to the inner city until suburban becomes urban. Yet, North Las Vegas still finds a way to challenge that border, and really define the differences between Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas.
The one thing I would change about my community here in North Las Vegas is the racially charged educational issues that may exist (not exclusively) in this area. The schools furthest away from the city have a prominent problem often with integrating black students, foreign students, and students of color.
