KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About Paradise Palms at a Glance?
Paradise Palms is Las Vegas's first master-planned community — 1,400+ Palmer & Krisel homes across 200 acres in ZIP 89109, priced $350K–$900K+ by restoration level per NREG’s MLS analysis MLS data, with city demographics per the U.S. Census Bureau. The takeaways below unpack the restoration premium and architectural significance.
- Architectural pedigree: Palmer & Krisel butterfly-roof and post-and-beam homes from 1962 — the most significant MCM neighborhood in Nevada, and one of the finest in the Southwest.
- The restoration spread: originals in cosmetic condition start near $350K; period-correct restorations with updated systems reach $900K+ — condition is the biggest price driver.
- Golf-course setting: the Las Vegas National Golf Club wraps the western and northern edges, providing a green buffer, fairway views, and Rat Pack history on the doorstep.
- Low carrying costs: most homes have no HOA or minimal $0–$60/mo dues; Nevada's 3% property-tax cap keeps annual increases predictable.
- Do your homework: 1960s systems — galvanized plumbing, aluminum wiring, flat-roof membranes — need inspection before any offer; renovation loans can roll rehab into the mortgage.

School planning
Which Schools Serve a Las Vegas Address?
Ask the district for the address-specific school assignment for the enrollment year, since boundaries change, and confirm it before you buy. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; charter, magnet and private schools set their own rules. Check CCSD school zoning · Nevada Report Card
CRIME DATA
How Can You Check Reported Crime Near a Home?
Ask the law-enforcement agency that serves the address for its current reports, and compare places only across the same reporting period, boundary and offense definitions. Missing records do not mean zero crime, the FBI cautions against ranking communities on crime totals alone, and a citywide figure does not describe a particular street.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Paradise Palms Area Growing?
Paradise Palms itself is built out — 1,400+ homes on 200 acres since 1962, with growth coming from renovation investment and rising values rather than new rooftops. The surrounding ZIP 89169 grew from 23,304 residents in the 2010 Census to 25,938 in 2020, and renewed interest in architectural character and central location is driving the neighborhood's renovation wave.

Inside Paradise Palms, the inventory is permanently capped: 200 acres, 1,400+ homes built by 1962, with no land left to develop. The scarcity argument for ownership here rests on finite supply meeting rising architectural demand — the same dynamic that drove MCM values in Palm Springs, the Eichler tracts of San Jose, and the Krisel-designed neighborhoods of Palm Desert. Las Vegas is earlier in that cycle, which is either the risk or the opportunity depending on your hold horizon.

Start Your Home SearchPros

- Summer heat: 105°F+ stretches July through September, tough on older windows and original HVAC
- ZIP 89109 blends residential and commercial Strip-corridor addresses — benchmark safety data tightly

BY ZIP CODE
How Does ZIP Code 89109 Break Down?
ZIP code 89109 is Paradise Palms's primary address, but the same code covers Strip-corridor commercial and rental towers alongside MCM homes. That spread — $250K originals to $2M+ luxury condos — is why filtering tightly to the residential neighborhood boundary matters when pulling comps or insurance quotes.

New Construction
Who Builds New Homes In and Around Paradise Palms?
No production builder operates inside Paradise Palms — the neighborhood built out its 1,400+ homes by the mid-1960s, and today's opportunities are resale, renovation, and the occasional tear-down-and-rebuild on larger lots. Buyers who want new construction shop master-planned communities like Summerlin (25 minutes west) or Henderson. Incentives change monthly — verify current offers before you write anything.

Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to Paradise Palms?
Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to Paradise Palms, get these in writing:
- The parcel's annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and abatement eligibility. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s tax cap. Nevada tax-abatement rules
- Lender, insurance and utility quotes for the exact address, plus the association's resale documents and any special assessments.
- The school assignment for the enrollment year, confirmed with the district.
- Your tax situation, reviewed by an adviser — California-source income can remain taxable after a move (Franchise Tax Board).
- Qualifying new residents generally must obtain a Nevada driver’s license and vehicle registration within 30 days. Check the Nevada DMV’s requirements and exceptions for your circumstances.

Cost of Ownership
What Will Paradise Palms Cost You Each Month?
Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Illustrative Payment Estimator
Estimate Your Paradise Palms Payment
$3,781
Illustrative Monthly Payment
- Principal & Interest$2,994
- Property Tax$250
- Insurance$150
- HOA$200
- PMI$188
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
How should you compare buying with renting?
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Purchase worksheet
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Rental worksheet
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
Use scenarios rather than a promised break-even date
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
Which HOA charges apply to this address?
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Recurring charges
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Closing and special charges
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Rules and access
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
How Easy Is Getting Around From Paradise Palms?
Paradise Palms sits at the center of the Las Vegas Valley's street grid — Swenson Street, Paradise Road, Sahara Avenue, and Desert Inn Road all border or bisect the neighborhood, with I-15 and US-95 minutes away. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — most Paradise Palms destinations beat that comfortably.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Paradise Palms?
Most Paradise Palms purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. FHA and VA files run 35–45 days; cash offers on restored Krisel homes can close in 10–14. Renovation-loan files — FHA 203(k) or HomeStyle — typically need 45–60 days because lenders require contractor bids and a draw schedule before funding.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Paradise Palms?
Most Paradise Palms buyers put down 3.5–20%. FHA allows 3.5% with a 580+ score on homes under the FHA limit — well above the $250K–$550K range here. Conventional loans start at 3% for first-time buyers and 5% for repeat buyers. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and the neighborhood's price range keeps jumbo financing out of the picture for most purchases. Renovation loan products — FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae HomeStyle — can roll acquisition and rehab costs into a single close, which many Paradise Palms buyers use.
Paradise Palms FAQ — 17 Answers
What Do Paradise Palms Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Paradise Palms?
Across ZIP code 89109 — which blends Paradise Palms with adjacent Strip-corridor stock — the area median runs near $339,000 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, with a median of about 60 days on market. Inside the MCM neighborhood itself, originals in original condition start near $350,000 while fully restored Krisel examples have traded above $800,000. Restoration quality is the single biggest price driver, so comparable selection requires judgment, not just zip codes.
What makes Paradise Palms architecturally significant?
Paradise Palms is Las Vegas's first master-planned community and its most celebrated mid-century modern neighborhood. William Krisel and the Palmer & Krisel firm designed the majority of the 1,400+ homes from 1962, deploying butterfly rooflines, post-and-beam construction, clerestory windows, and open-plan living decades before those ideas went mainstream. Intact examples — especially on Merlayna Drive and Tam Drive — are among the finest surviving production MCM homes in the American Southwest.
How does the Las Vegas National Golf Club affect Paradise Palms?
The Las Vegas National Golf Club wraps the western and northern perimeter of Paradise Palms, providing a green buffer that keeps through-traffic out of the neighborhood's interior streets and frames many lots with golf-course views or fairway adjacency. The course is a public-access layout steeped in Rat Pack history — Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra played here in the 1960s — and it remains a walkable amenity for residents without membership fees.
What are HOA fees in Paradise Palms?
Little to none: most Paradise Palms homes carry no formal HOA, and where associations exist they run $0–$60 per month for common-area maintenance. Low dues keep monthly carrying costs down, but they also mean fewer enforced standards, so condition varies significantly street to street. Confirm whether a specific property belongs to an association, and if so request the full resale package — dues, reserves, and any assessment history — before closing.
What ZIP code is Paradise Palms in?
Paradise Palms sits primarily in ZIP code 89109, with some boundary streets touching 89169. The 89109 ZIP places the neighborhood about 15 minutes from both the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, and roughly 20 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport via I-15 or I-215. When setting listing alerts or pulling insurance quotes, filter tightly to the MCM neighborhood boundaries — broader ZIP-level statistics blend in Strip-corridor rental towers that inflate the median differently.
What property taxes will I pay in Paradise Palms?
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 once the owner claims it (homes that are not owner-occupied get a cap of up to 8%). On a $339,000 Paradise Palms purchase that means approximately $1,700–$2,540 per year — a fraction of what a comparable vintage home in California's coastal cities carries. No state income tax adds another layer of savings for households relocating from high-tax states.
What schools serve Paradise Palms?
Clark County School District serves the neighborhood. Assigned public campuses include John C. Fremont Elementary (6/10 GreatSchools), Fremont Middle School (5/10), and Clark High School (6/10). Private options within reach include Bishop Gorman High School and The Meadows School, both rated A+ by GreatSchools, plus charters including Coral Academy of Science (8/10) and Nevada State High School (7/10). CCSD attendance boundaries shift periodically — verify the exact address with the district before writing an offer.
What is the renovation premium in Paradise Palms?
Restoration quality creates the widest price spread of any factor in Paradise Palms. An original, unimproved Krisel home in cosmetic condition might trade near $350,000; a meticulous period-correct restoration with updated systems — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof — routinely reaches $700,000–$900,000 or above. The restoration premium is real, but buyers should verify what was done: cosmetic-only updates that leave original galvanized plumbing or aluminum wiring in place do not justify top-of-band pricing.
Is Paradise Palms a good investment?
Architecturally significant MCM neighborhoods have outperformed generic suburban stock in most major U.S. cities where restoration culture is active, and Paradise Palms has the ingredients: authentic Krisel inventory, a passionate homeowner community, proximity to major employment, and a finite supply of 1,400+ homes that cannot be replicated. The risk is condition variability — originals with deferred maintenance can absorb $150,000+ in renovation before they're competitive with restored comparables. Underwrite the condition, not just the address.
How does Paradise Palms compare to other Las Vegas neighborhoods?
Paradise Palms wins on architectural character, walkability, and Strip proximity — no other Las Vegas neighborhood offers genuine Palmer & Krisel MCM design at scale. The trade-off against master-planned communities like Summerlin or Henderson is newness: newer roofs, modern floor plans, and HOA-enforced curb standards come standard there. Paradise Palms buyers are choosing character and location over uniformity, and they're typically right that the supply of authentic MCM at this scale is genuinely irreplaceable.
What should I look for in a Paradise Palms home inspection?
Focus on the systems that 1960s construction routinely leaves behind: original galvanized supply lines that restrict flow and corrode, aluminum branch wiring that requires AFCI protection under current code, single-pane jalousie or sliding-glass windows that defeat modern HVAC, and flat or butterfly roofs that need careful membrane inspection. A general inspector plus a licensed Nevada electrician and plumber on the same visit gives you the full picture before you release contingencies on a vintage buy.
What is Nevada's advantage over California for a Paradise Palms buyer?
California's top marginal state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $300,000 annually saves roughly $24,000 per year in state income taxes alone by relocating. Nevada adds a 3% annual cap on primary-residence property-tax increases under NRS 361.4723 and no personal property tax on vehicles. At $339,000, a Paradise Palms MCM home is also a fraction of what a comparable architectural property costs in Palm Springs or Silver Lake.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in Paradise Palms?
Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Our team understands MCM valuation nuance: restoration premiums, inspector checklists for 1960s systems, period-correct renovation ROI, and the block-by-block character differences that move the needle inside a 1,400-home neighborhood. We also maintain relationships with buyers actively seeking Krisel homes, which matters in a market where the right buyer pays more than the wrong comps suggest.
What is the Paradise Palms restoration community?
A passionate, organized group of homeowners and architecture enthusiasts — most active on social media and through local preservation advocacy — who document original homes, share contractor recommendations, source period hardware, and push for historic-district designation that would provide renovation tax incentives and design-review protection. Buying into Paradise Palms connects you to this community, which is one reason renovation investment holds value: neighbors are watching, caring, and actively maintaining the neighborhood's character.
What down payment do you need to buy in Paradise Palms?
Most Paradise Palms buyers put down 3.5–20%. FHA allows 3.5% with a 580+ score on homes under the FHA limit — well above the $250K–$550K range here. Conventional loans start at 3% for first-time buyers and 5% for repeat buyers. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and the neighborhood's price range keeps jumbo financing out of the picture for most purchases. Renovation loan products — FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae HomeStyle — can roll acquisition and rehab costs into a single close, which many Paradise Palms buyers use.
What does it cost to renovate a Paradise Palms home?
Budget varies sharply by scope: a cosmetic refresh — paint, fixtures, landscaping, appliances — runs $30,000–$80,000. A full period-correct restoration that addresses plumbing (galvanized to copper or PEX), electrical (aluminum branch wiring to copper with updated panel), roof membrane, windows, and kitchen typically runs $150,000–$250,000 on a 1,400–1,800 sq ft Krisel. Buyers using FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae HomeStyle renovation loans can finance this at acquisition; our team can refer experienced MCM-specialized contractors.
How long does it take to close on a home in Paradise Palms?
Most Paradise Palms purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. FHA and VA files sometimes run 35–45 days, especially when renovation loans require a second appraisal draw schedule. Cash offers, which appear at the top of the range on restored Krisel homes, can close in 10–14 days. If you're pairing a renovation loan with the purchase, plan for 45–60 days and get your contractor bids ready before opening escrow — lenders need the scope before the renovation draws.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Paradise Palms?
The eight questions Paradise Palms buyers most frequently search online — answered with verifiable specifics: market figures from NREG’s MLS analysis, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the plan record. Every answer cites a number, statute, or primary source you can verify independently.
Is Paradise Palms a historic district?
Not officially designated as of June 2026 — though the preservation community is actively advocating for local historic-district status, which would provide renovation tax incentives and design-review protection. The homes are historically significant by any architectural standard; formal designation is the next step.
Who designed the homes in Paradise Palms?
The majority were designed by William Krisel of Palmer & Krisel, the Los Angeles architectural firm that produced thousands of mid-century modern homes across the Southwest. Krisel's butterfly rooflines, post-and-beam construction, and clerestory windows are the signature of the neighborhood and the reason it attracts architectural buyers nationally.
How many homes are in Paradise Palms?
Approximately 1,400+ homes across roughly 200 acres, built from 1962 by Paradise Homes. The neighborhood is built out — no land remains to add more authentic MCM homes — making the existing inventory permanently finite.
Is Paradise Palms walkable?
More walkable than most Las Vegas neighborhoods: the curved, low-traffic residential streets are pleasant to walk and bike, UNLV is 10 minutes by bicycle, and the Las Vegas National Golf Club is adjacent for an outdoor morning routine. The Strip and Downtown are 15-minute drives, not walking distance.
What is the best street in Paradise Palms?
Merlayna Drive is widely considered the MCM showcase street — the highest concentration of intact butterfly-roof Krisel homes, mature landscaping, and golf-course-adjacent lots. Tam Drive runs a close second. Buyers focused on architectural prestige start with these corridors and work outward from there.
Can I do an FHA loan on a Paradise Palms home?
Yes — the $250K–$550K price range falls well under the FHA loan limit for Clark County, and FHA 203(k) renovation loans are particularly useful here for buyers planning to update 1960s systems. Confirm the specific home meets FHA minimum property standards; originals with significant deferred maintenance may need repairs before a standard FHA loan closes.
What is the Las Vegas National Golf Club?
A public-access 18-hole golf course established in 1961 that wraps the western and northern perimeter of Paradise Palms. It carries significant Rat Pack history — Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and other Rat Pack members played here in the 1960s — and today offers daily-fee rounds without membership or initiation fees.
How far is Paradise Palms from the Strip?
About 2 miles as the crow flies — plan roughly 15 minutes via Sahara Avenue or Desert Inn Road, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 20 minutes south via Paradise Road or I-15.

Where Does This Paradise Palms Data Come From?
Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. Because ZIP 89109 blends Paradise Palms with Strip-corridor commercial stock, we present ZIP-area statistics as area benchmarks — never neighborhood-only claims — and omit micro-block medians that small samples cannot support.

Methodology: Listing counts, prices and days on market are NREG's analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data received through the Repliers feed; this page refreshes them about once a day, and each market figure carries its date or window. Census and BLS figures are the published vintage named beside them and change only when the agency releases new estimates. Confirm details for a specific home with its listing and the responsible agency.
