CRIME DATA
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.

Living in Scotch 80s means mid-century estate character and half-acre to full-acre lots five minutes from the Strip. The community sits within the City of Las Vegas — services per the City of Las Vegas — with the 18b Arts District nearby and Harry Reid International Airport ten minutes south.
Scotch 80s is known as one of Las Vegas's most historic luxury neighborhoods — developed in the 1960s as the address for casino executives, entertainers, and city power players, with irreplaceable half-acre to full-acre lots, mid-century architecture, and a renovation renaissance now underway.
Executives and entrepreneurs who want estate privacy near the Strip, California relocators chasing the state-income-tax arbitrage, architects and designers drawn to the renovation canvas, and buyers who want authentic Las Vegas history rather than a master-planned village.
Morning walks on tree-lined estate streets, errands on West Charleston or Maryland Parkway, dinner in the 18b Arts District or on the Strip — with the airport ten minutes away for frequent travelers and 60 years of neighborhood character none of the new Las Vegas communities can match.
Scotch 80s sits in central Las Vegas, west of the Strip between Rancho Drive and US-95, roughly bounded by West Charleston Boulevard to the north and Oakey Boulevard to the south. About 180 acres in ZIP 89102. Approximately 1.5 miles from the Strip.

Quick Answer
Yes — for buyers who prize historic character, irreplaceable lot sizes, and a Strip-close location above all else. Scotch 80s delivers what no new Las Vegas master plan can match: half-acre to full-acre estate lots with 60-plus years of mature tree cover, and a five-minute drive to the world's most famous entertainment corridor. The trade-offs are real — renovation scope on original-condition homes, HOA dues of $200–$500 monthly, and jumbo financing for most purchases — but for buyers who value authenticity over novelty, Scotch 80s is without peer.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Scotch 80s itself is built out — roughly 300 homes since the 1960s, with growth coming through renovation and custom rebuilds rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 96,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the central ZIP 89102 corridor is experiencing renewed investment driven by proximity to the Strip and the Arts District.
Inside the neighborhood, growth is structurally capped: ~300 homes is the permanent number, which is the scarcity argument for ownership here. Turnover is thin — the community trades perhaps a dozen homes per year — while the surrounding central Las Vegas market provides the liquid comparables that Scotch 80s values are benchmarked against.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Location is Scotch 80s's single greatest advantage: US-95 and I-15 are both immediately accessible, placing nearly every Las Vegas Valley destination within 25 minutes. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Scotch 80s destinations beat that comfortably.
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.
Quick Answer
Most Scotch 80s purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers — common at the $2M+ estate tier — close in 7–14 days. Jumbo files take longer because comparable sales are scarce in a ~300-home community, and renovation-scope inspections can take extra scheduling. Budget a few days of buffer.
Quick Answer
Most Scotch 80s buyers put down 20–25%. Properties near $800,000 may qualify for conventional financing with 10–15% down, but most community prices exceed the conforming loan limit and require jumbo loans — lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of liquid reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans at any price. Get a tier-specific pre-approval before touring; it signals seriousness to sellers and shortens your closing timeline when the right estate surfaces.
Scotch 80s FAQ — 16 Answers
Scotch 80s is a roughly 300-home community in ZIP 89102. Per Las Vegas REALTORS data, the community median is near $1.6 million — but the range is wide: original-condition midcentury homes start near $800,000 while custom-remodeled or newly built estates on full-acre lots reach $5 million-plus, with about 32 days on market at the luxury tier.
No. Scotch 80s is not a gated community: none of the 46 Scotch 80s MLS listings since 2021 describes a guard gate. The gates its listings do mention — automatic driveway gates, gated courtyards, private estate entries — belong to individual homes. Buyers who want a staffed community gate nearby usually compare Rancho Circle or Las Vegas Country Club. Our agents arrange Scotch 80s showings with same-day notice in most cases.
Lot sizes range from roughly a quarter-acre to over a full acre, with the community average running half-acre to full-acre — lot dimensions that modern Las Vegas master plans cannot replicate. The oversized parcels accommodate circular driveways, detached guest structures, resort-caliber pools, and the mature shade trees that give Scotch 80s its distinctive mid-century estate character. Premium corner and full-acre lots at the top of the market routinely draw $2.5 million and above.
Scotch 80s was developed beginning in the early 1960s by Irwin Molasky and Paradise Development. The neighborhood takes its name from Section 80 of the Las Vegas city plat map. Original residents included casino executives, entertainers, politicians, and business leaders who built custom mid-century estates on lots that had no equivalent in the valley at the time — and still do not today, more than 60 years later.
Scotch 80s has been home to some of Las Vegas's most prominent figures throughout its 60-plus-year history — casino executives including Howard Hughes-era operators, entertainer residents who performed at the Strip hotels, and politicians with Nevada's highest offices. Large private estate lots and unmatched Strip proximity made it the go-to address for the city's power players in the mid-century era and it has retained that cachet ever since.
No production builder operates here — Scotch 80s is built out, with ~300 homes on its ~180-acre footprint. What is happening is a renovation and custom-rebuild renaissance: buyers are acquiring original-condition estates on premium half-acre to full-acre lots and either completing ground-up contemporary rebuilds or full-gut remodels. The trend produces a striking juxtaposition of preserved mid-century character alongside striking new desert-modern architecture on the same block.
Check each property. Some Scotch 80s homes carry no HOA at all — 5 of the 46 Scotch 80s MLS listings since 2021 say “No HOA” and none cites HOA dues — and none of those listings describes a guard gate or patrol service for dues to fund. Where a home does sit in an association, pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve-fund level, and any outstanding assessment — early in escrow. Transfer and capital fees at closing can add a one-time charge; price those into your offer math before you write.
Property taxes are low by national standards. The Clark County Assessor applies an effective rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% of market value, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $1.6 million Scotch 80s home that translates to approximately $8,000–$11,200 per year — a fraction of what a comparable historic estate carries in California, where the Bay Area effective rate exceeds 1% with no statutory cap.
All three are vintage Las Vegas neighborhoods with large lots, mid-century provenance, and a renovation renaissance underway; Rancho Circle and Rancho Bel Air are guard-gated, while Scotch 80s is not gated. Scotch 80s (ZIP 89102) is the closest to the Strip at roughly five minutes, tends to have the most active renovation activity, and starts near $800,000. Rancho Bel Air (89107) sits slightly further west with similar half-acre to full-acre lots starting near $1 million. Rancho Circle is the smallest and most exclusive of the three, often running $2 million and above.
Both are vintage neighborhoods near the Strip with mid-century character, but only Las Vegas Country Club is guard-gated. Las Vegas Country Club is larger at roughly 1,400 homes across a private 18-hole golf course and tends to carry lower entry pricing — from about $400,000 for condos. Scotch 80s is smaller (~300 homes), has no golf, but offers significantly larger estate lots (half-acre to full-acre vs. typical golf-course lots) and a renovation potential that buyers seeking authentic mid-century architecture particularly value.
Scotch 80s sits within about 10–15 minutes of Las Vegas's emerging 18b Arts District — the city's most walkable creative neighborhood with galleries, coffee, cocktail bars, and the monthly First Friday event. For buyers who value cultural vitality and urban walkability alongside estate privacy, the combination is unique in the Las Vegas Valley: mid-century estate prestige a short drive from the city's most vibrant street-level scene.
California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board. Nevada levies zero state income tax. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes by establishing Nevada residency. Combined with Clark County's 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate and the NRS 361.4723 primary-residence 3% cap, the tax math alone funds most Scotch 80s purchases — and the estate you can buy here at $1.6 million would cost $3 million-plus in a comparable Los Angeles neighborhood.
Four things move real money here. First, renovation scope: original-condition homes may need electrical, plumbing, and HVAC overhauls — price a full inspection and contractor estimate before you write. Second, lot due diligence: verify lot dimensions, setbacks, and any deed restrictions with the Clark County Assessor before planning a rebuild. Third, jumbo financing: most Scotch 80s prices exceed the conforming loan limit — have a jumbo pre-approval with reserves before touring. Fourth, call (702) 637-1759 and we will pull the right comparables; with only ~300 homes, valuation takes judgment.
Most Scotch 80s buyers put down 20–25%. Entry homes near $800,000 can sometimes finance with 10–15% down on conventional loans, but most properties in the community exceed the conforming loan limit and require jumbo financing — lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans at any price. Have a tier-aware pre-approval in hand before touring; it signals seriousness to sellers and shortens your timeline when the right estate appears.
Most Scotch 80s purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers — common at the $2 million-plus estate tier — can close in 7–14 days. Jumbo files sometimes require extra appraisal time because true comparables in a ~300-home community are scarce, and renovation-scope properties may need specialized valuations; build that into your contingency calendar.
Yes — call (702) 637-1759 or start your search online. Our agents coordinate tours, pull comps from the thin ~300-home resale market, and have represented buyers and sellers across the mid-century estate and renovation-project tiers.

Scotch 80s sits in central Las Vegas (ZIP 89102), roughly between Rancho Drive and the US-95 corridor, north of Charleston Boulevard near Oakey. It is approximately 1.5 miles west of the Strip — about five minutes by car — and sits directly adjacent to Las Vegas Country Club.
The neighborhood takes its name from Section 80 of the Las Vegas city plat map, where the parcels were originally recorded. The "Scotch" prefix is a historical administrative designation from the city's early grid mapping — it has nothing to do with Scotch whisky, though the neighborhood has housed plenty of both over the decades.
Approximately 300 homes across roughly 180 acres per the community plan record. The neighborhood built out in the 1960s and 1970s, so that number is essentially permanent — no new subdivisions can be added inside the existing footprint.
You can — Scotch 80s has no community gate, and none of the 46 Scotch 80s MLS listings since 2021 describes a guard. Many estates sit behind their own private gates, so seeing a home inside still takes an appointment: call (702) 637-1759 and we typically arrange showings with same-day notice.
No — Scotch 80s is a distinct historic neighborhood in the City of Las Vegas (ZIP 89102), roughly 20 minutes east of Summerlin via US-95. Summerlin is a Howard Hughes Corporation master plan; Scotch 80s predates it by several decades and has entirely different character — mid-century vintage versus new master-planned villages.
No production-builder homes are available — Scotch 80s is built out. Custom rebuilds do appear: buyers acquire original-condition homes on premium lots and commission ground-up contemporary estates. These occasionally appear on the resale market after completion and can be among the most striking properties in the valley.
The Ridges is newer (2000s) with more contemporary custom architecture and Red Rock Canyon views, starting around $2 million; Scotch 80s is older (1960s), has larger lots and a more central location, and starts near $800,000 for original-condition estates. Buyers choosing The Ridges want new-era luxury and mountain views; buyers choosing Scotch 80s want historic prestige, bigger land, and Strip proximity.
Historically yes — the permanent supply cap (~300 homes), irreplaceable lot sizes, and six decades of prestige create structural price support. Renovation-upside buyers who acquire original-condition estates and complete quality remodels have realized among the strongest appreciation in the Las Vegas luxury market. As with all real estate, consult our agents for current market conditions before making investment decisions.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers regularly. Because Scotch 80s is only ~300 homes, we deliberately present community-level estimates clearly labeled as such — never claiming precision that boutique market samples cannot support. Follow any link below to verify a figure.
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.
