Small town committed to controlled growth and only minutes from the Las Vegas and Henderson areas, peaceful Boulder City is a wonderful place for those looking to take advantage of the proximity to Las Vegas. Initially, Boulder City was founded to house workers of the nearby Hoover Dam, but has evolved to include residents from retirees to artists. The city's environment is very family friendly and it can be witnessed by the value placed all around the community. Boulder City offers many recreational activities, from outdoor parks and golf courses to community events and trips planned by the local Chamber of Commerce. In addition to all that Boulder City has to offer, there is the famous Lake Mead National Recreation area, located right around the corner. Lake Mead, the deepest man-made lake in the world, offers year-round activities. There is fishing, mountain biking, hiking and paddle boats are available to take out onto the lake.
The small downtown area offers a small shopping and restaurant district that has a charming feeling. Many visitors stop here on their way to the Dam, Lake Mead area and Observation Point. Take Highway 1 and drive right through the downtown area and the historic district of homes and buildings that were established in the 1930's when the construction of Hoover Dam was in full swing...The Hoover Dam Museum not only provides tours, but gives an in-depth look at the lives of the city's first inhabitants. There is the Children's Art Museum of Nevada, created by Saint Jude's Ranch for Children, which exhibits the children's artwork.
The few Custom Homes that are being built in the area are right near Lake Mead, most with spectacular water views.
