Affordable housing is a major reason that over 6,000 people are moving to Las Vegas each month. Approximately one-third of those relocating to Las Vegas are from California where housing prices and real estate prices in general are extremely high in comparison to the Las Vegas home and real estate costs. Add to affordable homes and other real estate in Las Vegas the availability of relatively good-paying jobs and you have the formula that has created the fastest growing city in the nation!
