Characteristics

Transportation

This part of the community is fairly car friendly. It is convenient to come across a parking spot. However, the transit in Nellis Air Force Base is rather poor. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines passing through the neighborhood, and it is very convenient to find a nearby bus stop from most houses. Commuting by bicycle is sometimes difficult in this part of the community because the cycling network is not very well-developed, and there are a good number of elevation changes. A majority of the homes for sale in this neighborhood are located in areas that are also not especially convenient for those who get around as pedestrians as most daily needs are occasionally challenging to carry out without a vehicle.

Character

Nellis Air Force Base offers a slower-paced ambience. Nellis Air Force Base is very quiet overall, as the streets are very peaceful - however noise can be an issue closer to the airport (Nellis Afb) or the railway line.
