Reply With QuoteI know people who live there and have a friend who is moving there soon. I have heard nothing but good things about the city.
I am looking to move there and want to hear what you think about the town. We are looking for somthing with a lake view or on the golf course.

Thanks, all I have heard is good also.
Post it over at LVHB's. I am sure someone over there knows someone who can help.
PM Burtandnancy, I think they have a place there. BC is nice, and it's about the only place to get a water view around here, unless you get a trailer space at one of the marinas.
Badaxe, when I lived in LV I wanted to move to BC, but it becomes a hard commute now that the traffic in LV is getting worse. But, I would say to get a lake view home or on the golf course just like you mentioned. Very nice.
are you retiring or something? why the move?

I work from a home based office and travel to my clients sites. I can pretty much live where ever I want as long as it is near an airport. Living in BC puts me closer to McCarran than I am to LAX now so why not live near our favorite lake and have an easier commute to the airport.
By the way, nice looking boat your having built. I hope to get a closer look at OP6C-7.
Have had homes in BC for years, and have boated in Lake Mead since the early 60's (remember the drought of 66/67 and the spillover of '83. You can get great views of the lake, and of the various golf courses, but not both at the same time.
There are a lot of changes going on near BC, the most important is the new bridge over the Colorado about 1/4 mile below the dam, and the bypass around town. The commute to LV can be OK to some parts of town, and damned miserable to others. Las Vegas exploded over the last few years, and infrastructure completely failed. NDOT (not unlike Cal Trans) doesn't have a clue how to build freeways, and they are years behind even before they open. (But thats a whole different story)
RE is slightly higher in BC than LV or Henderson or Green Valley, but has tradeoffs. We're over 55 years old, and picked a senior community which we think is the greatest. We also moved our boat into a covered slip (and hydrohoist) and don't have the daily launching hassel. I could go on and on, but don't how much space I'm allowed. If you have any specifics, get in touch...
Thanks Burt......I have been boating on mead since the late 70's and know Boulder City pretty well. Right now as I type my wife and I are in town looking at real estate. We are torn between lake Mead View Estates and a home on the golf course so we'll be looking at some listings in the morning.
Are you in town now? If so I'll meet you at The Coffee Cup at 8:00am in the morning.
