What Makes Nevada Homes Different?
If you have lived in multiple states, like I have, you probably have some appreciation for the differences between one and another. While Nevada home development appears to be similar to other homes built in the southwest, they are dramatically different from those built in the Northeast.NO BASEMENTSSince Nevada doesn?t deal with frost and the freezing of the ground that can crack foundations, basements are rare. There are homes built with finished basements, but they are rare.ELEVATION / HEIGHTMost of the homes built in Nevada are one and two story dwellings.

Homeowners in places like Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are used to having 1 Acre to 10 Acre sites, in Las Vegas a 6,000 square foot lot is typical for a 3,000 square foot home, and many lots are smaller than that. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule.
