Boulder City, NV - Greater Las Vegas Real Estate
Boulder City, NV is part of the Greater Las Vegas Real Estate market, lying just outside the Las Vegas Valley next to Henderson. It has the largest land area of any city in Nevada, yet it's population is just over 16,000. It was created by the federal government for the building of Boulder Dam, later renamed to Hoover Dam, but the worker homes were only meant to be temporary. To their surprise, after the dam was completed, many of the workers wanted to stay. Instead of their homes being torn down, they were sold.
So what does Boulder City offer that would make people want to stay? Is it the small town atmosphere and lifestyle, with residents voting to limit it's growth in spite of the huge gains in development next door in the Las Vegas Valley? The attachment to preserving it's history? It's unique neighborhoods with a variety of home styles and custom homes? The amazing views of mountains in the Eldorado Valley or the Lake Mead views from the Hemenway Valley? Is it the access to all that Las Vegas offers, including a major international airport, but in a place often referred to as the Mayberry of the Las Vegas area.
Or is it the attraction from the many activities found around Boulder City? Like the many parks and community events held there. The train rides of the Nevada Southern Railway Museum. Hiking and biking trails or mountain biking and zip lining in Bootleg Canyon. All the water sports and cruises at Lake Mead, or canoe, kayak, paddle boarding and raft trips on the Lake Mead National Water Trail on the Colorado River below Hoover Dam. ATV and off-roading, skydiving, air tours, flight instruction and general aviation, or perhaps visiting a Ghost Town and gold mine in the nearby Eldorado Canyon. You can also stop in at the historic downtown for some food, a brew pub, or to explore the shops offering antiques to art and crafts and much more. Or you could just enjoy the Big Horned Sheep, Nevada's state animal, that like to call the Boulder City area home. Yes, there's quite a bit to do in this small town, whether you chose to call it home or for both visitors to drop by and Las Vegas locals to enjoy all that it has to offer year round,
Now while the population has been limited by choice, and also a limited amount of resale homes available, Boulder City does have a new home development for 2018. Boulder Hills Estates from Story Book Homes is underway. On build out it is proposed to add 127 new single and two story homes to the community, with current pricing starting in the $400k's and $500k's. For resale homes you'll find that generally the median pricing is above the Greater Las Vegas area, and also above the City of Henderson median. Of course the homes and lots with views will typically carry a premium, just as you would find in the Las Vegas Valley.
Even with the length of this video I couldn't possibly cover it all, but you will get a better idea of what can be found in and around Boulder City. The links below can help you explore a bit more online.

Short helicopter tour of the Hoover Dam close to Las Vegas in Nevada
My family and I took a short helicopter tour of the Hoover Dam in the state of Nevada. The 10-minute flight cost $569 USD for 4-persons and is located at the Hoover Dam Lodge and casino. Call +1 702 294 2200 for more information on the helicopter tour. The flight was pretty pricey for only 10-minutes but it was well worth it in my opinion. The ride alone was exhilarating and one of the things on my bucket list. The much longer helicopter tours from other companies run anywhere from $1200-1600 for 4-persons so I did not mind the price.
Grand Canyon and Monument Valley Air Tour
Recorded on December 26, 2006. The video begins as we takeoff from the Boulder City, Nevada Airport and fly over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. We then land at the Grand Canyon Airport. We view the Grand Canyon from Bright Angel Trail before returning to the airplane. We then fly directly over the Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell before landing at Monument Valley, Utah. There are several nice views of Monument Valley on this bright and sunny winter day.

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.
