We have two kids (2 and 8) and are looking for a family-friendly neighborhood in Las Vegas. Budget is around $1456/month for rent. We prioritize good schools and safety. Any recommendations?
Also, are there good parks and activities for kids in the area?

Coming from Chicago, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are about the same.

As someone who moved here from Atlanta, I can confirm most of this. The job opportunities surprised me the most.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

The job market has been improving lately. Several retail companies moved in recently.

I work in government and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 1 months.
