Is Las Vegas Still Affordable? Breaking Down the Cost of Living in 2025
If you're thinking about relocating to Las Vegas in 2025, you’re probably asking: is it still affordable? With all the development, rising home values, and rapid population growth, it’s a fair question. The good news? Las Vegas continues to be one of the most cost-effective cities in the West—especially when compared to California, Arizona, or Colorado.
One of the biggest perks is that Nevada has no state income tax. That alone can save residents thousands of dollars a year. Add in relatively low property taxes and a median home price that’s still well below other metro areas (around $450,000), and Vegas starts to look like a smart move. Even with a bit of inflation, everyday living—groceries, gas, utilities—remains manageable for most families.
Renters and homeowners alike benefit from a wide range of housing options. Areas like North Las Vegas and parts of East Henderson offer great value per square foot, while newer master-planned communities like Tule Springs continue to add affordable quick move-in homes with incentives from builders. Plus, Las Vegas offers a lifestyle filled with low-cost (or free) entertainment, gorgeous nature spots, and year-round sunshine.
