Well Summerlin is safe and has a good view if you are close to the mountains,
you won't see much under $500,000 worth looking at.

but if you mean land as in a few acres to run the horses around you would have to go waaaay northwest probably in an older area.

You could check out the Southwest as well...I am on an acre all horse property where I am at nice too. 600 and up though for anything decent because of the lot sizes. Good area though Penn from penn and teller lives in the neighborhood.

Hmm. Figure in the $300-400k range. I can afford a bit more, but I also need to live. 'land' would be an acre, maybe 1.5.

thanks for the comments so far....

I'm way out in southeast Henderson and love it...no crime, less pollution, horse properties nearby, about 10 minutes from Lake Las Vegas

you can still get a decent place in the area for in the 275K-300K range on up to the $750K-1 million range several blocks away

Yes, scrap the land. Land here is extremely valuable.

You may find something you like in Desert Shores. Nice, quiet area with 4 lakes.

I used to live in Southern Highlands.. You wont beat the area anywhere in Vegas itself.
