vegas house

After spending many hours searching houses in a city 1800 miles away- that's very hard by the way! And sending Jeremy to many houses to drive by and look at- we finally found a house that will be great for us as our temporary home. We are renting for the first year to make sure we get a feel for everything out west. The market in LV is awful so yes you can get a really good deal but to buy takes months and most houses are short sales and foreclosures. Its a mess. Our realtor told us in a couple months the banks are releasing 70,000 foreclosures. Yep, you read that right. 70,000. So renting for the first year just might work out for us and maybe we can snag a foreclosure.
I really liked this house because the whole first floor is open. I can see those sneaky little children of mine at all times :) The yard is small and its definitely smaller than our last house but it will definitely work! Bonus- it has a second floor laundry. Almost feel like I can do without it!
Here are some house pictures in no particular order!

Home Sweet Home!

Here is the view from the front door. You basically walk right into a large living area. Its been updated with new blinds, lighting, granite, appliances etc. Most of the houses we saw had white appliances. The houses were SO dated.

This is a dining room that we will use as a playroom. Its right behind the kitchen and will be great as a playroom. We needed an extra room like that for all the kids stuff!

Full bath on the first floor.

Kitchen is open to the family room.

 This is the bonus room, 4th bedroom. Its HUGE. Im so glad because since losing a 5th bedroom we have lots of stuff to fill it with :)

 view from the bonus room down the hallway. Master bedroom is on the end and the kids bedrooms on the right and left.

 Kids bathroom

 View out of the master- we have a balcony off our bedroom. 

 Master bathroom- walk in closet to the right. We actually have two closets in our room which is nice because we need all the storage we can get!

 Backyard patio- balcony above

 View out the front door- I love the cobblestone.

 Playground in WALKING distance for us! Very excited about that.

View of our neighbors from our balcony. Houses are really close together.

 upstairs hallway- told you these were out of order!

 View from the eat in kitchen

 Our HUGE backyard :) We do have a corner lot so the backyard does wrap around the side of the house, thankfully.

Walking to the front door.

Overall, I think it will be a good fit for us for a year- then we can move for a 4th time. Pretty sure people wont be answering their phones when we call to tell them we are moving AGAIN! ha!
