You get what you pay for - 10/11/2007
Mesquite is a beautiful, clean, safe & new city. Housing costs seem average- not high for this part of the country. Compared to California, it is a steal!
Most all of the housing is only a few years old, and the quality & upgrades you find here are incredible. The lots are also larger (except for Pulte Homes). We found it less expensive here than CO, OR, AZ, NM and everywhere in CA. Do the research...Mesquite is a great retirement community and also a great place to raise a family. We are close to the beautiful State Parks of Utah, the excitement of Vegas and skiing in Brian Head. More business are popping up every week. They say this is the next Palm Springs, so get in while it IS still

Home Cost Mesquite NV - 10/17/2005
Mesquite is a quiet little town with four casinos and golf courses it is a wonderful place to raise children, however there is no real paying jobs here,it has alot of snowbirds due to the beautiful year round climate, almost no crime and is very safe.The bad side of Mesquite is its over priced housing, home and condo prices here are virtually unobtainable if you work for a living. What has happened to Mesquite and Las Vegas is the population growth from people moving from California to Nevada and they sell there homes in CA for ridiculous amounts and then move to Nevada and buy cheaper homes and have plenty of pocket money left, but this has drawn the cost of homes up in Nevada so us working class can't afford to live the american dream of home ownership. thanks
