Centennials Hills is a newer part of Las Vegas, but is a little farther west from Nellis.  This area is ideal for service members who are stationed at Creech AFB, as well as those who might be looking for ranch property or larger plots of land.  Centennial Hills has massively grown over the last five years and consists of new housing, shopping, schools and the 226-bed Centennial Hills Hospital.  Easy access to the US 95 and 215 Beltway.

Sunrise Manor

East of Nellis is the community of Sunrise Manor.  Sunrise Manor is a more price-friendly area of town, while remaining near Nellis AFB.  This community is closer to the eastside of base.  Sunrise Manor is known for having more parks and bars than other parts of town.

North Las Vegas

North Las Vegas, is actually more central Las Vegas, as Las Vegas has greatly grown around this city.  It is deemed the least desirable area of town, but there are better parts.  A rule of thumb is to stay north of Craig Road and west of Camino Al Norte.

Aliante

The Aliante area of Las Vegas is one of the newer areas of Las Vegas, it is also the shortest commute to Nellis AFB.  Much of Aliante falls within the North Las Vegas city limits, but is the nicer and newer area of the North Las Vegas city.  You will find a number of newer schools, parks and libraries in this part of town.

Henderson

Henderson is its own city, immediately southeast of Las Vegas and it’s the farthest living option from Nellis.  Henderson has some very high class areas like Green Valley, great schools and easy access to the US 95.
