TYPICAL LAS VEGAS HOME


We talked a little of where you can live in Las Vegas. I thought you might like to know what a typical home might be like.

Most homes in Las Vegas are built on a concrete slab. Basements are very rare. The construction is frame and stucco with tile or tile-like roofs. Insulation is usually blown cellulose. Almost all homes have dual-pane windows and the newer homes have Low-e dual pane windows with vinyl frames. Central air conditioning system (electric), ground mounted, gas furnace, gas water heater. There would likely be an irrigation system in place for exterior landscaping. Most homes have an attached garage, with entry into the house from the garage and an automatic door opener.

Kitchens would usually include a gas range & oven, dishwasher and disposal. It would be plumbed for an ice maker for your refrigerator. The laundry is usually set-up for a gas dryer & electric hook-up for the washer.

Privacy walls are very common in Las Vegas. This would be a block wall around the back and sides of your lot. Outside access would be thru a gate on one side. Access from inside would usually be a sliding glass door leading to the yard and might include a covered patio area.

Energy efficiency is a really important consideration in this climate and Builders construct with that in mind. Look for my next post - Active Adult Communities. 702.461.1969 LauraDoulas@mslasvegasrealestate.com
