Tampa to Las Vegas

Las Vegas is hot!! But besides the climate, I really enjoy living in the South West area (Mountain Edge Community) The houses are newer, there are stores and restaurants everywhere. I most importantly love the newer schools. My children love their new school here compared to the East Coast. The crime here is mostly over by the strip and Northern part of Las Vegas. I haven't experienced anything negative, expect for that I'm starting to notice more people moving down into this area. The streets get a bit overcrowded during the afternoon. I'm currently renting a 4 br home for $1,200 and well worth it. The only thing I really have an issue with is the heat. This heat is extreme and although there isn't much humidity the wind carries the heat. It almost feels as if you have a blow dryer on your face. You have to be careful when you take the children outside and base your outdoor outings on the weather channel. When it gets cold its freaking cold!!! It can snow here and the wind chill is bitter cold. I'll be here for a couple of years, my next home will be with a pool. Good Luck to anyone moving here..
