Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Housing is both easy and difficult to obtain in Las Vegas; it just depends on how high your ambitions are. If you’re looking to rent alone or with a roommate, finding housing can be a fairly simple process. Many people who need a roommate post ads on bulletin boards located all over campus and specify exactly what kind of roommate they’re looking for. If you need a place for yourself, there are plenty of apartments to the north and east of the campus that are within quick walking distance from UNLV, while to the west you can find some that are about a five-to ten-minute walk away. Prices are pretty decent compared to most other large cities, and the closeness of the Strip can keep you entertained yearlong.

If you’re looking to buy something, go for it. Condominium prices have plummetted in price in recent years. The housing market once boomed in Las Vegas in the late ‘90s, when moving to Las Vegas became the thing to do. Now there's a nice range of choices for potential buyers. Many apartment renters have had trouble around the Valley, as a lot of apartments have been converted into condos, leaving the lower-income market somewhat lacking when it comes to space available. Either way, the vast majority of students who live off campus live either with family (if they’re local) or in a rental. With some hunting, you're bound to find the right match. If money is tight, you'll probably need to get a roommate or two.

Unless You're a Out of State Student You Will Only Live Off Campus

The housing immediatley surrounding campus is really cheap but really sketchy. If you have a car (which you better at UNLV) then you should have no problem commuting from a reasonably priced nice neighborhood.

How Much?!

I could pay mortgage for a three bedroom house for the same price as my two bedroom apartment. I found a nice place but a little ways from campus. I could have gotten something cheaper if I didn't mind roaches or non-gated communities in bad neighborhoods, or even gated communities where the entire surrounded community also knows the gate code.

Rebel Place

Rebel place is a great apartment complex to live in. They are affordable, nice places and you live around other students which is really nice. It is close to campus and has a security gate, so it is a safe place to live.
