Although many areas of Las Vegas and Henderson are growing rapidly. North Las Vegas seems absolutely ready to explode. With developments underway along the 215 and I-15 heading north, the area is a beehive of construction, commerce and expansion. While Nellis Air Force Base has long been a landmark of Northtown, more recent additions with the Speedway and the addition of I-215 to connect to Summerlin and south have brought growth – in a big way. Living in this area makes it convenient to escape town – either to the north or south – and is also located near all the action you’ll find downtown and further south on the Strip.
