my friends live in the city of north las vegas. just depends on what you're looking for. they were military also...
This may be a difficult question to ask any realtor because a good area for you might not be a good area for someone else. The best thing to do is drive the different areas and see for yourself what you like and don't like. Also, there are many sites online that can give you a neighborhood statistics (crime rate) etc...
Look at these links: http://www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/Departments/Police/CrimeSearchMapDisclaimer.cfm http://www.lvmpd.com/crimeviewcommunity/
stay away from Nellis AFB and North Las Vegas especially. There is nothing but cheesy red-neck bars, strip clubs, and pay day loan stores near Nellis. If you are used to a military environment then you prob are familiar with the bar fights, the low lifes, and the crime that goes with it. I lived by Luke AFB in Goodyear off-base during my service, and I thought it was a scum environment even being in the military, and wouldn't be caught dead in any clubs or bars in vincinity. We used to go out to Tempe or Glendale and find decent places to hang. Stay FAR away from Nellis. If you have kids, you'd have to be crazy to live anywhere near Nellis and North Las Vegas. Razor-mean Hispanic gang members walk the streets at night, and its ugly and seedy beyond words.....Do yourself a favor and move to Henderson....its totally safe, kid-friendly, and FAR from the strip (8-miles, but you can see it in distance). Henderson is the place to be...affordable, people are very friendly, and lots of things to do. Tons of local's casinos too....locals casinos are basically rec centers for locals...they hang there, can eat cheap and good there, they all have movie theaters and bowling alleys, and pool and dart tournaments and stuff. Any casino with --------station, at the end of the name is a local's casino, except for Sam's Town and The Reserve, two other awesome local casinos near Henderson. Henderson also has a great park system with water parks and stuff, and a huge library system, where you can rent current release DVD's for free! Do yourself a favor and move to Henderson! You'll LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!
If whether in the north or south stay away from gambling. For the chances of winning does not have anything to do with location!

Ask a realtor. They'll know all about the area and can help you find an nice, safe area in your price range. Try going to http://www.realestateforsaleinnevada.com It's really easy to navigate and is full of info about realtors with links to their personal websites. Most of their websites will have all the available homes/rentals in the area along with community info, so you can do some research before you contact anyone. Hopefully that works for you. Good luck!
