It's not Las Vegas; but technically it is.
Winchester may be small, but the little town within Sin City is pretty fierce. Desert Inn Road, a major vein thrumming through the heart of Las Vegas, runs through Winchester. Winchester is an unincorporated suburb of Las Vegas, so you won't be able to list it on a letter but mention to locals that you're from Winchester and they'll know where you call home. With notable neighbors like Circus Circus, and the Killers Battle Born studios you'll never get bored in Winchester.
Renting an apartment in Las Vegas is similar to renting in most other places in the country. There are few month to month rental homes available and fewer apartments. A lease is required for just about any place worth it's salt and they will most likely ask for a solid chunk of cash for deposit before you can stake your claim.
Winchester is not technically divided into neighborhoods, since it is a neighborhood. But if you're looking for a particular geographic area to target, check below.
Northern Winchester: The northern side of Winchester skirts or encompasses the Las Vegas strip. High rise rental condos and studio apartments vie for tenants along side the rare ranch home still plugging on beside multiple developmental behemoths.
Mid-Winchester: Smack dab in the middle of the neighborhood is where you'll find the cheapest rentals. It's not as close to the strip or sunrise manor, so it's a bit of a drive to get somewhere more exciting.
Public transit, or the RTC as locals call it, is an acceptable form of transportation if you work on or near the strip. It's a short distance from Winchester, and you'll find no hassle with parking-- spaces are rather convenient. If you don't have a vehicle at all, it gets a little trickier when you need things like groceries or new furniture. If you happen to live in walking distance of a supermarket then consider yourself lucky. Most locals own a car, even if they only drive it a few times a week it beats waiting for a bus under the midday sun.
Las Vegas locals have an endless variety of options when it comes to socializing and entertainment. There are several municipal pools available and a surprising array of parks scattered throughout the valley.
