We are planning to move to a state with lower taxes and someone mentioned that we should look into the Vegas area (specifically Summerlin or Henderson areas outsides Vegas). We have done some initial research and it does look interesting to us for a few reasons:
- Lower taxes overall
- Vegas airport is very close by and easy to get to anywhere in the country/international destinations (we hope to do a lot of travel once this Covid thing is over)
- A lot of activities/food in the area and within a few hours' drive
- No major natural disaster on a regular basis (no hurricane, fire, etc.)
- Seems moderate political environment, not too left or too right
A couple cons come to mind:
- The current no/low taxes for residents seem to be mainly supported by tourism/"sin" industries. As they are being impacted by Covid, would this no/low tax situation not sustainable in the future?
- It seems to be an area of quick growth and fast downfall in the past. Would that pose some instability in the future?
I would love to hear your experience in moving to the Vegas area for retirement and anything else that we may not be aware of in considering Vegas as a retirement destination, esp. potential shortfalls. Thank you in advance!
