Canyon Gate - Discreet Style

Las Vegas real estate can never go out of style. Despite murmurs of falling prices and projects being unfinished, investing in property in Las Vegas still makes sound business sense. People looking to relocate to warmer climes cannot do better than consider Las Vegas as an option. Low taxes, abundant sunshine, great recreation and excellent schooling all add up to a very attractive package. In addition, the region is fortunately not prone to natural disasters unlike California with its quake prone areas and the hurricanes of Florida.

Retirees have a choice of numerous retirement communities which feature a host of activities for the active seniors. Golf addicts cannot do better than at Las Vegas with it leading championship courses designed by legends of the field, or rather of the course.

Canyon Gate Homes, just a couple of miles east from Summerlin and about 6 miles from the Las Vegas strip is an older, but well-kept community. Located on the west side of Las Vegas Valley, it is a private community built on approximately350 acres with just over five hundred, custom and semi-custom built homes. The biggest attraction of course is the Ted Robinson designed eighteen-hole spectacular championship golf course with the most exclusive homes all around it.
Canyon Gate is a 24 hour guard gated community and the Canyon Gate Country Club is a ‘members only’ facility. The community is particularly known for its many waterfall features. Other facilities offered at this outstanding community include tennis courts, fitness facility and a community swimming pool. The upscale community of Canyon Gate in Las Vegas West is just 15 minutes away from the Strip. It is less densely built than the surrounding neighborhoods and homes and is a prestigious family golf community. The Canyon Gate Country Club golf course has narrow fairways with 70 bunkers and more than a dozen water hazards. The 6,700-yard, par-72 course is known for both for its beauty and its ability to provide diverse levels of challenge to golfers of all skill levels. Canyon Gate's championship caliber greens are always meticulously groomed and reward accuracy and skill over strength. It affords sweeping views of Red Rock Canyon and the Valley.
