Boulder City

Boulder City is unique in many ways. It is close to the Las Vegas/Henderson area (23 miles), but is vastly different. It is the only city in Nevada where gambling is illegal. It is the only city in the area that does not pride itself on rapid growth. It established a limited growth policy in 1979 and has rigorously maintained it. As of 2007 there are just over 15,000 residents. Real estate in Boulder City Nevada is unique in that there is very little new construction. It is largely limited to custom homes and some condominiums. Product here varies from bungalow style homes originally built to house the workers at the dam to custom homes out toward the lake. Homes are priced perhaps slightly higher than Las Vegas, and as most any Boulder City resident would contend, they are worth every penny. This is a small town with a small town atmosphere. The streets are clean and the parks are beautiful and tranquil. I like this city a lot. If you enjoy Las Vegas, but prefer a slower paced community to live in, then you may want to check out the real estate opportunities in Boulder City. will be happy to help you.

City residents have some unique home financing options available to them through the Boulder City Credit Union. What it involves is some sort of profit sharing arrangement whereby there is a year end distribution of profits to those who have financed homes through them. Big Horn Sheep are usually a rare site but not here. Below is a photo I took at a local Boulder City park. This is the only community I am aware of with “watch for sheep” traffic warnings.
