The Mesquite Nevada Real Estate Blog: July 2008

Smokey Lane Condos are Studio and One Bedroom Condos in Mesquite NV. Located on Pulsipher Lane behind the Casa Blanca Casino Resort - they are perfect for a golf vacation home or winter getaway to Mesquite Nv. Close to shopping, casinos, parks and public transportation - one of these condos in Mesquite could be a great starter home for singles or couples.

Plenty of room in living area for bedroom set or hideabed/living room furniture. Each unit has a mirrored vanity area with sink and cabinets and a separate bathroom with full shower and bathtub.

The gated community pool and spa area is for residents only. All utilities including electricity and cable are included in the monthly HOA fees - all you will need to add to your monthly bills are phone and internet!

Looking for a great place to eat?  Deciding which restaurant to go to dinner in Mesquite?  Can't decide between Chinese or Japanese food for dinner?  Hunan Chicken or Beef Teriyaki?  Egg Roll or California Roll?

Well, the argument is over - let's go to the Panda Garden!  That's right - they now have both Chinese and Japanese food - it's like 2 restaurants in one!  It is at 10 E Mesquite Blvd - 702 346-3028

The building is simply beautiful - the front is surrounded by a rock garden which looks just like a river bed trickling down from the rock waterfall.  It really looks like an oasis in the desert with the palm trees in the background, but I never stand there long enough to enjoy it - just can't wait to get in and stuff myself.

The Panda Garden has a full cocktail and wine bar.  If you get caught in the dinner rush you can order your favorite drink, glass of wine or Saki - by the time you have finished it, you will be seated - the service is terrific. And Sushi lovers.....the Panda now has a Sushi Bar!

The banquet room has a lovely atmosphere and is large enough to accomodate a large private party or well, a banquet!  You can order for the whole group or each can order separately from the menu.

They serve a green salad with an amazing ginger spiced dressing which just makes me even hungrier.  The combination Egg Fu-Yung is the best I have ever had - heaped with vegetables and shrimp, chicken and beef.  If it is lunch time, try my favorite - the Seafood and Vegetable Tempura, which also comes with California rolls and pot stickers.

The servings are large - I always have to (get to) take some home for later - which makes me very happy!

Not everyone likes to golf in Mesquite or try to get lucky at one of our 4 casinos.  One way to enjoy our area is to just take a walk!  We have miles of trails around  Mesquite - if you have the energy, you can walk from one end of town to the other!

In the summer it gets pretty hot here and you might not want to be out - but is so nice once that sizzling sun goes down.  That would be a great time to go down to the Virgin River Trail at the south end of Mesquite.

The trail is completely paved  with streetlights that come on at dusk so that you can walk it 24 hours a day.  It is wheelchair accessible so that anyone can enjoy it.  Sometimes you will see a mom pushing a toddler in a stroller - sometimes a healthy looking senior citizen at a brisk walk.  You might see whole families walking the trail on the way to one of our many parks for a picnic.

One of the nicest times to walk the trail is early morning - even in the summer heat.  As the sun comes up the southern mountains turn shades of blue and pink with the morning sun light.

Dogs are allowed on a leash on all of our trails - just remember to pick up after them!
 
The Virgin River Trail is only a couple of miles from the center of Mesquite - bring your lunch to the park - you will still have time for a pleasant outdoor break from work with a walk along the Virgin River.

You may have heard of Sun City Mesquite walking trails and parks - they are all within Pulte Del Webb's Sun City Mesquite subdivision for 55 plus residents and maintained by their Homeowner Association.

The indoor pool is open 365 days a year and features a ramp for handicap access and great for those of us who don't like to climb in and out!

The outdoor pool is open seasonally and sports a gorgeous view of the golf course greens and the scenic water features.

Inside the Sun City Mesquite Recreation Center - the workout room is equipped with modern equipment with a indoor walking track that overlooks the golf course and pond - if it is too hot or too cold, you can still exercise and get your daily walks in.

There are now some resale homes for sale in Sun City Mesquite.  For sale signs are not allowed in this subdivision, so it is not widely known that there is a pretty good selection of the different floor plans in all locations.  There are several on the golf course, looking over the greens - some with wonderful views of the mountains.  There are several Sun City Mesquite resales with privacy and views of the mountains and bluffs that are protected as a natural reserve.

The Springs Master Planned Community of townhomes is in a great location not far from the Oasis and Casa Blanca Casino Resort Hotels.  Shopping, restaurants and several of our famous golf courses are close by.

This recently built subdivision has some gorgeous views the of the majestic southern mountains.

From winter through spring, the occasional snow tops these mountains for weeks at a time.

When the sun sets in the west these mountains reflect the changing colors of the sunset with hues from red to blue.

Not too far is one of Mesquite's Walking Trails - this one curves along the Virgin River and has some gorgeous views.

This trail is paved, with lights that come on at dusk so that you can enjoy a walk or bike ride, even in the hot summer nights of Mesquite.  Stay on the paved pathway or wander down to the river.  Dogs on a leash are allowed but no motor vehicles - you better leave that Harley at home!

The Springs Master Planned Townhome Community sits along side one of Mesquite's largest shady parks.

There you can get a good volleyball game going - if you have the energy - I'll come keep score for you!

Or just hang out and enjoy the picnic areas and shade trees.  Yes, even a playground for the kids.

You will find walking trails and parks all over Mesquite - enjoy the clean air, golf and scenery by day and the casino club life by night.

The Springs has a unique design - every building has only 3 units, each with it's own entrance.

The one level 2 bedroom units are either up or downstairs and the 3 bedroom units are 2 levels.

All townhomes have their own 1 or 2 car garage with an inside door to the home as well as an outside garage door with remote opener.

Designed so that no homeowner lives above or below another, so that you don't have the feeling of living in a condo or apartment.

The Homeowner's Association maintains all outside maintenance and landscaping, with common desert landscaped areas throughout the subdivision.

Available to residents only, the Recreation Center features a spacious clubhouse with a complete kitchen, wireless computer room, big screen TV and showers that open to the outdoor pool area.

What a place to watch Super Bowl - and not even have to mess up your own place!

Hot and Sore from that champion volleyball game or 18 holes of Mesquite  golf?  Soak in the big jacuzzi and take a dip in that sparkling pool.

The outdoor pool and jacuzzi area is fenced, separating it from the covered community patio and barbecue area.

Got an RV or Boat?  Separate RV Parking just for residents is available on site.

And even something for the kids or grandkids .... Check out the playground!
