As a real estate agent in Mesquite Nevada with ERA Brokers Consolidated and a member of Mesquite Chamber of Commerce, I have helped many people buy a home and relocate to Mesquite.  Every one has questions and you will have even more after you move here.  I hope this answers most of them for you!  If you have a question about relocation to Mesquite NV, leave a comment below - I will get the answer for you and add it here.  Or just call me!

Mesquite NV Mountain and golf course view

Mesquite NV is a small town of about 20,000 people - it doesn’t seem like even that many live here - we have quite a few people who buy a 2nd home in Mesquite and aren’t even here that much.  Many of them will eventually end up selling their first home somewhere and deciding to completely relocate to Mesquite when they retire.

Visit our own Mesquite Chamber of Commerce website for information about relocation to Mesquite.  Many business people, like myself, are a member.  If you are in town, stop by the Chamber.  Everyone there is super friendly and helpful and they have brochures, newsletters, even postcards that you can send home.

Our Mesquite city has it’s own website with lots of useful information for you about relocation to Mesquite, including the major employers.  Mesquite is pro-growth and the fastest-growing small city in Nevada.

Mesa View Regional Hospital is a full service hospital in Mesquite - with Inpatient Acute Care services, outpatient surgery and diagnostics, and a 24/7 Emergency Room.

Mesquite has miles and miles of  Walking Trails throughout the city.  You can walk or bike along golf courses, scenic desert bluffs or my favorite - the walking trail along the Virgin River, which runs through Mesquite.  It has a paved walkway with lights that come on at dusk, and you can wander off and make your own trail!  Take your dog, if you have one, but be sure to pick up after him.

We currently have 4 casino hotels here in Mesquite.  They all have very well priced Mesquite NV golf packages that include golf at one or more of our golf courses and staying in one of the hotels.

That is a great way to get a golfWolf Creek Golf Course in Mesquite Nevada getaway package at a good price - play golf in the daytime and play in the casino in the evening.

You might choose a package that has 2 or 3 days of golf on several different golfcourses and 2 or 3 nights at a hotel.  Don’t stay out too late - you will want to get an early tee time, especially in the summer - it is HOT here.

Besides our casinos for 'recreation', we have 6 gorgeous golf courses in Mesquite, including the famous Wolf Creek Golf Course, rated by Golf Digest as one of the top 25 courses in the U.S. and the Palmer Golf Course, home of the Big Break.

If you need a place to stay for a short term or a long term, Siegel Suites might be the place.  They offer studio and one-bedroom apartments for rent starting at about $499 per month and up and include all utilities except for phone.  Pets are allowed and plenty of parking, including room for your RV or Boat.

Our state of the art Mesquite City Recreation Center is something you would see in a much larger city.

Mesquite NV City Recreation Center and Community Pool

The Mesquite NV Recreation Center is for families and singles with programs, classes and activities for young and not-so-young.  Annual or monthly passes are available to residents of Mesquite.

You can even play basketball on the air conditioned indoor court and wait till you see the indoor and outdoor pools!

The outside pool is my grandkid's favorite place to go when they visit in the summer.  There is also a smaller shallow pool for the almost swimmers and covered picnic areas to get out of the sun and heat.

Speaking of Mesquite weather, yes we have some beautiful weather here.  Sunny and ‘golfable’ almost everyday!

Utilities are very reasonable here - Mesquite is all electric, no gas and we are on Overton Power - the rates are quite a bit lower than Las Vegas.  Mesquite water is our own and very inexpensive, from aquifers under the area.  You will see water towers all around Mesquite.  Even with all of the growth, we currently do not have to ration water like some areas of Clark County do.  Cable TV is available or DSL from local carriers.

Property Taxes in Mesquite NV Mesquite has one of the lowest local tax rates in Clark County - Nevada has one of the lowest state tax structures in the U.S.

Mesquite annual property taxes are approximately 1 % of the purchase price of a home.

Mesquite Schools are in the Clark County School District.  Virgin Valley High School, Hughes Middle School, Virgin Valley Elementary School.  Bus service to and from the school is provided for the kids.

Seniors - Mesquite is an active adult kind of town with a wonderful Senior Center - if you are not interested in going to a casino or playing golf, the city of Mesquite sponsors activities and programs just for seniors.

We have several active adult community subdivisions for 55 plus residents and second home owners.

Speaking of 55 + active adult communities in Mesquite - Pulte Del Webb brought Sun City Mesquite to us in June 2007.  With aDel Webb Sun City Mesquite Recreation Center overlooking Conestoga Golf Course large selection of floor plans and very reasonable prices, Sun City Mesquite is the best selling Del Webb community in Nevada and the best selling new home subdivision in Mesquite.

The Sun City Mesquite Pioneer Recreation Center is amazing, with a beautiful indoor pool which is open year round and a huge outdoor swimming pool and spa that overlooks their Conestoga Golf Course.

Membership to the Sun City Mesquite Rec Center with fitness center, billiards room, putting greens, tennis courts  and activities is included with their HOA monthly fee.

Residents have access to all of Sun City Mesquite parks and walking trails.

Residents in Sun City Mesquite also get a discount and preferred tee times at the Conestoga Golf Course which is still in construction and is expected to open for residents on November 7, 2009.  The grand opening to the public will be held in the first part of 2010.

Now that this 55 + community has been open and selling homes for over 2 years, there are now some Sun City Mesquite resale homes for sale in Mesquite MLS that may have been purchased as a second or retirement home - many are in excellent condition with upgrades and landscaping already in place.

Ence Homes is one of the premier builders in Mesquite.  Ence has announced their new Low Priced New Homes - with prices in the mid $100's, it is a great opportunity.  These new homes can be built in the Trailside - Shadowhawk - Falcon Glenn subdivisions on large lots that will even include front and side yard landscaping.

Mesquite has several gated communities on the golf courses - homes right on the golf course, some with views of the courses and some with beautiful views of Mesquite and the mountains.  Copper Bluffs has some of the lowest priced homes in a gated community with membership privileges at the Oasis Golf Club.

Santa Theresa Estates is a brand new home subdivision - both townhomes and single family homes with 2 car garages and large fenced backyards - prices start at $162,500.

If you would like an idea of what homes are for sale in Mesquite NV, you can search Mesquite NV MLS right now.  If you see a property that interests you, call or email me and I will give you more information or set up a time to show the home to you.  Or you can fill out the short form to sign up for free Mesquite NV property search and get email updates whenever a new listing is posted.  If you are interested in foreclosures in Mesquite, just check the box and all foreclosure listings will be on your list.

Looking for some Mesquite NV Local News?

Many folks ask if we have a problem with creepy crawlie pests here in Mesquite - well, it is a desert out there!  I have never seen a snake here, and we don't have much of a mosquito problem, but if you are like me and don't like spiders - have your home sprayed to keep them out of your home.  We have several pest control companies here, I often use Jesse's Pest Control in Mesquite NV.

Thanks, Richard - It is a work in progress and I think I will share the pics in Localism, although I have been waiting for the changes they are talking about.

Duane - It is actually a high-growth area, the fastest growing city in Nevada.  But you would never know it.  I am working on a post about the laid back lifestyle with a video of our '5 o'clock traffic'.  Sometimes you have to wait for a minute to see a car go by.

Virginia, What a wonderful post!  This has everything you could ever want to know about Mesquite.  One of my team members golfed there a few years back and is still talking about it!  Thanks for sharing all this data.  When we get someone heading your way - you know who we're referring them to!

Sylvie - I just remembered to update it, it had been awhile - it is ongoing information about relocation to Mesquite - kind of an online welcome package - our chamber does not send them out without charging for it.

Susan - Thanks, Mesquite is getting well known for the golf courses - including Wolf Creek - it is a great little town.

This is one comprehensive Mesquite post ladybug!  I wouldn't rule out retiring there and we always stop there to eat when we go through there but always forget to warn you (I owe you breakfast, lunch or dinner) that I am coming through.

I have a funny story to tell you.  On the 10th I was about 10 minutes away from Mesquite (driving my son to his new home) and I get a phone call at 7:30 in the AM.  "HI THIS IS VIRGINIA" (swear she sounded like you!)  "Virginia, this is unbelievable, we are 10 minutes from Mesquite, come have breakfast with us."  I went on and on and on and it was another agent named Virginia from Vegas inquiring on one of my listings :blush:

Greg - Yes, you know I did have help - my little virtual assistant is pretty fast at linking it up.  And Annie made that Mesquite map at the end - she is very creative.  I wanted people to see where the heck Mesquite NV actually is - right between St George Utah and Las Vegas NV.  Don't blink or you'll miss it! 

Hi Nellie - Thank you!  Did Annie send you guys over here? - All of a sudden I have new comments, thanks!  I have to keep this relocation post updated - I send it out as an online welcome package.

Renee - There is another real estate agent named Virginia ??!!  That is too funny - I can just hear you talking away.  You are so entertaining on the phone, she was probably enjoying the conversation.  You do know you have quite an accent - you sound more like a southern belle than a Nebraskan.  You better call me next time you are here.

Virginia,

What a wonderful post about your town. I read with interest, and I can only imagine how important all  that infomration is for those who relocate to Mesquite.

Was surprised how low your taxes are compared with Florida. And you, too do not have State tax.

Thank you

Hi Virginia!  How did you re-post this?!  I've got several that I'd like to do that with--not for points but, ease of re-posting great relocation information!  I saw Adam's photo and got all excited thinking he was back and then saw the dates on your comments.  INquiring minds...

BTW--AWESOME Localism, hyper-local, relocation information!

Jon - good reason to move to Mesquite - low taxes and inexpensive utilities - here we are in the middle of a desert, sitting on the biggest aquifer in Nevada !

Liz - take my post, please!  Do you know who Rodney Dangerfield is?  You should make your own relocation post for your area, I send it out as a welcome package to anyone who inquires about Mesquite.

Richard - I originally spent a whole day writing it.

Mike - I will send you a picture next time I have lunch there.  LOL

Debe - we solved the mystery and I will probably do it again, now that I found out how.
