Canyon View Dr, Canyon Gate

The tourists who don't come to Las Vegas for gaming, come for golf and then never leave. That's what it seems, because the city has so many beautiful golf courses with stately and opulent homes right on the links. Canyon View Drive is just one of many scenic and impressive streets surrounding the Canyon Gate Country Club and Golf Course, located on the western side of the city in the shadows of the foothills. This is a permanent neighborhood that feels like a resort. Most of the residents are middle-aged or older and seem to be retired or have a very flexible lifestyle, in that they spend their days golfing instead of going to the office. There are very few children, and those that are here appear to be grandchildren that are visiting. So I don't get the impression that children are particularly welcome. The streets are clean, the homes are immaculate. Many of them have the same architectural feel, although there are one or two that stand out from the rest as being much fancier. It was a great neighborhood to visit and I think it would be a good place to live if you didn't have to worry about young children. You need a car to access services, but that is not a problem for most people living in this city.
