King Richard Ave, Paradise

Not a bad place. This street is lined with the 'old school vegas' apartments and condos. Rents are generally 5-600; don't pay more than 600... most are at least 1 bedrooms with 800 + square feet though condition can vary as most units are individually owned. Make sure electric is included (as is the case with many in the area). Generally a decent area, you got your tweakers but regular police beats keep it safe. The streets may as well be unpaved, and as a result the pest problem down there is insane. You have everything you can imagine (accept scorpions) and they are out all the time, though proper pest control keeps it reasonable. Cheap, comfy enough alternative to the nearby efficiencies on the other side of Swenson.

This place, between it's economy and closeness to everything would get four stars if it weren't for the horrific cocaroach/etc infestation the entire area suffers from. So if bugs aren't for you, s t a y away. If you don't care, this area is a good little deal.
