Raising The Bar
Situated south of the city, just west of Las Vegas Boulevard, the neighborhood around the 2020 New American Remodel is ideally located. Hop in the car, and you can be at the Bellagio at the center of the Las Vegas Strip in about 15 minutes. You can reach the airport, or the new Raiders stadium, in 10 minutes. Easy access to those amenities was one reason Element Building Company’s Josh Anderson, the remodeler and project owner, chose this spot.
Another reason is the potential of Vegas’s southside. It was passed over during the development frenzy that gripped the city during the early 2000s and has since remained relatively under the radar. But that seems to be be changing. A Las Vegas Review-Journal article noted in 2018 that there are several condo and apartment projects planned for the area, and while many nearby lots are too small for planned communities, they seem ideal for custom homes.
