The city boasts that it is the Heart of the New Old West. Originally inhabited by the Shoshone Indians, the town took on the indigenous name of the valley, “Water Rock,” in which it resides.  The valley’s abundant artesian wells resound the reason for its name and for the migration of early American settlers.  Water was one of the primary motives for settlers choosing a particular geographic region in which to set up housekeeping.

What’s interesting about Pahrump is that it didn’t have many modern conveniences until the 1960s when phone service and paved roads were initially installed.  With Las Vegas less than an hour away, many who were looking for rural living settled in to the city of Pahrump and spurred more advanced development.  The town’s current population is around 38,000.

The breathtaking mountain backdrop that rises up over the desert terrain makes for a spectacular daily view.  Here you’ll find all kinds of adventure for the little ones all the way up to retirees.  Outdoor activities include hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, golfing, camping, skiing, exploring, horseback riding and more.  If indoor activities are what you’re looking for, then drop in to one of the area casinos, enjoy fine dining or visit the state’s only winery right here in Pahrump.

Here, reasonable real estate is rampant.  Single-family homes in the heart of the city start at $85,000 and condos are as inexpensive as $44,900.  If you want a starter home on some acreage, it’ll cost you as little as $36,500.  You’ve got the gamut, though, and prices can go as high as $1.5 million for a home on 30 acres located on Homestead Road.

There’s no better place on the planet to raise kids or just to come and live.  Move in and make Pahrump your home.  Your family will be saying, “Thank you!”  and you’ll be saying, “I’m glad I did!”
