A perfect place to live, retire or vacation.

This town has changed from dusty trailer town into Desert Oasis almost overnight! Bullhead City is a hidden treasure! I’m sure a lot of people will be retiring here once the word gets out. So much new development going on it’s hard to keep up with. I can’t think of any other place that has more things to do than here in Bullhead City.
Nice restaurants have been popping up all over, not to mention a brand new Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Lowe’s and a massive new hospital! It has everything and more, and it’s only an hour drive to Vegas, Lake Mede and the West Rim of the Grand Canyon with the new skywalk. Did I mention just a few hours to Southern California’s best places?
This is a desert environment and it does get hot. Ironically this is when the town is really busy because water sports are very popular here. Built right on the Colorado river across from Laughlin Nevada (I call it little Vegas) and Lake Mohave. Lake Mohave is a 64 mile long crystal clear lake! New homes going up on the hills have views of the river, lake and casino lights! The night sky is crystal clear. Tons of new luxury homes and still good prices (for now).
Summer Jet Skiing is perfect when the temperature is about 105 to 115. This is because the Colorado River is cold even in the summer! So the hot outdoor temp is exactly what you want out there and it feels great! So expect a lot of water sport tourism in the summer months and a lot “snow bird” tourism in the winter. Most of the year the weather is perfect, in the 70s and sunny. And yes the summer months are hot, that actually is a major attraction here.
So forget about all that nonsense about it being too hot, because HOT is exactly why people come here. It feels cold on the river riding a Jet Ski once the temp drops below 100 degrees. Hot is good for water sports!
If you haven’t been out this way in the last five years you owe it to yourself to check it out. Bullhead is a great place to live, vacation or retire. Play safe and have fun...
Best, Mike
