I live in Bullhead the crime is really not bad at all. Me and my family movie here from Howell Michigan a few years ago. Howell is a farming country between Detroit and Lansing Michigan and that area had way more crime. Anyway I love living in Bullhead Arizona it’s a small town with great views and plenty to do. Thanks for posting your video.

There's nothing to do here too hot in the summer lousy internet and it cost a small fortune to call the AC man out I've been here for over 24 years

Live in Mohave Valley since 2003 from CA. Love the atmosphere, less stress than Phoenix area, and area is indeed growing. Oatman is easily accessible from I-95 and a fun place with western shows and the occasional real western wedding in the streets!! Right now the heat is average 115 but you do get used to it after a few years. Love this channel as am learning about the other areas of my adopted state. Planning road trips on some of the areas you've featured!

My grandpa was the supervisor at the powerhouse or power plant and my grandma ran the phone company when it had a switch board. They lived on Front St., now Topeka. My grandparents along with my mom, auntie and uncle would take their model A or whatever it was to Oatman…. My grandma’s sister and her husband were miners in Oatman. They would work the claims and go back to Kingman. By the way, Lake Mead has come up a lot lately . You’re at Lake Mohave. I’ve been on Lake Mohave a lot, we had a boat. But you’re showing Lake Mohave.

[@The_Oldguy]

You keep saying "Lake Mead & Boulder Dam", but you were showing "Lake Mohave" which is created by the Davis Dam and south of the Boulder Dam by about 75 miles. You didn't show any of Northern Bullhead City (which is the newer section of the city), nor Katherine's Landing in the National Park. Good video, but a little out of date. You haven't been able to buy a house here for less than $450k in years, especially close to the river.

[@roberthull93534]

Exactly. That’s what happens when you aren’t really from the area. Do your homework next time. Frustrating when he keeps calling it Lake Mead.

[@jpotlover]

Accurate

[@trwent]

There are LOTS of nice homes for sale in the 200 - $400K range in BHC and Laughlin, as well as Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley, and Needles. If you want a built-in pool, that will add about 50 - $100K to the cost, but pools require a lot of time and effort to maintain and may not be necessary with the Colorado River and Lake Mohave so close by.

[@eastonn]

True lol

[@Mr.REEP0]

In fairness to the creator of the vid..Lake Mohave is part of the Lake Mead national recreation area...So he isn't talking out of his ass...He's just generalizing and not being specific to the area by name.

The lake shown is this video is Lake Mohave and the dam is Davis Dam. Both are downstream from Lake Mead and Hoover Dam about half way between Lake Mead and Lake Havasu. Lake Mohave is part of the "Lake Mead National Recreation Area" and is federally owned. You missed the "better side of town" up on the Bullhead Parkway which is where the higher priced homes and neighborhoods are.

[@gerrysagert5709]

GOOD PICS of the place- been going there since the 90's -The suburb of Laughlin is ver y modern above the casino blvd a few miles away. The modern Bullhead City is south of the old part you showed ( most of that has been torn down ) There is a new bridge being built to link Nevada and winters are very comfortable for Canadians like me to snowbird.

[@stephenmitchell7915]

There is even a VA medical office in Laughlin. Not bad for a small town. The 2nd public bridge at the opposite end of Bullhead Parkway from the original bridge is now open as of yesterday.

[@BrutusBowzer]

I haven’t been up in the lake mead area in a long time, the last time I was there was back in January 2016 and we canoed down the Colorado river starting from the Hoover Dam and ending at Willow Beach. Alongside the river, we would stop 2 times on two remote beaches and camped for a day. Hot springs were also along the river which was also pretty cool. I would highly recommend doing this during the milder months as it was a pretty fun trip during that time as it wasn’t too hot or too cold.

[@milt6208]

That Canyon is like a stove in the summer.

[@trwent]

If hot springs are cool, then how could they be hot?

Hoover Dam was one of three projects that were built during the great depression of the 30's. The dam, The Empire State Building in New York and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Franscisco. All three came in under schedule and under budget. Likely the last three projects to proudly proclaim that record.

If you come out to Oatman please do not stop in the middle of the road and feed the burros from your car. They get to trust worthy of vehicles then get hit. Also watch your speed. Feeding tbe burros on the road is actually illegal in Oatman. You can get little alfalfa cubex to feed them in town in most of the stores. Do not feed them carrots and do not feed the babies. We live in Bullhead and go to Oatman when we have guest visting us. It's a cute little town.

[@IEchuckie]

Oatman was selling carrots to give to the donkeys for years. What's changed?

[@milt6208]

Beautiful residential is west of the river in Laughlin , this guy obviously didn’t look

[@chriscabana1897]

We visited Oatman a couple of times. Fun and informative talking with the locals. Interesting to note that no one should feed the burros. The only food they should be given is the feed that is available in a couple of the shops. Their digestive systems can not process sugars. Feeding them apples, carrots etc will cause them to form tumors. 😢We were pointed out a few who had formed tumors on their necks because of this. They are a protected animal. Fines can be expensive. Also there’s road signs throughout Bullhead City to watch for burros especially along Bullhead Parkway. The burros come down out of the desert and are known to walk across the roads sometimes stopping in the middle of it. This past January someone hit one on Bullhead Parkway in the middle of the night. Killed the burro and it totaled the drivers car. Take care when visiting and driving in Bullhead City. Love our burros ❤

Every year last week of April, the Laughlin River run this year will be 13 years that I’ve been coming to the rally. My favorite part is Oatman Arizona and the reason why it’s my favorite is because of the donkeys I live in Lemoore, California Central Valley and we stay at Davis Camp on the Arizona side we stay up on top where on the corner from the straight ahead from the little shack that you pay To camp $40.05 days not bad we can’t right on the corner where the two big palm trees are and then you walk down the hill that goes down to the river. We stayed down there one time and that was my first trip to the rally.

Just to clear things up, the dam he showed was not Hoover dam but Davis Dam. The thumbnail is not of Bullhead city but of Laughlin Nevada.

[@ArtTaggerr-223]

To me, If you have to live in the heat, Bullhead/Laughlin is the best area. The river is refreshing, water sports, fishing, gambling, night entertainment, four wheeling, prospecting…it’s all there. Old Bullhead is the #1 investment opportunity also, especially next to Community Park between 1st and 2nd streets. It’s already zoned commercial, and the jet ski businesses are looking to corner that area for there business near the brand new commercial boat dock. They keep buying more.

[@skyh]

It will 115 in summer but the water is freezing because of the release from the dam is the cold deep water from the bottom of the lake.

The Laughlin Bullhead area is a fun spot to go to, as there are good cheap vibes, and laughlin ranch is an exclusive master plan on the hill in Bullhead, gated and restaurants and homes from 350k to 2 million or more, and it's close to ca and vegas, but bullhead is very limited in services and all, and Laughlin is too. and it has gone up in my thoughts, way to high for even that area, 250-325 for a decent home in Laughlin ranch, a 3/2 1600 sf etc, but now 395 to 450k, not thx as its 112-118 for 3-4 months in the summer, winters are nice, but ya, so its got its bad and good like anywhere, but living there id prefer the Laughlin side still if nay side of the river, thanks

On our 1st attempt to visit Oatman, we got lost. It's in the middle of nowhere and no internet service therefore, no GPS. I recommend using a paper map. We bought one and our 2nd attempt was successful. I don't believe anyone actually lives in Oatman (as per the 2020 US census, there were 102 human residents vs 400 + burros/donkeys). The shop owners or employees drive up from other towns or cities. The highlight of the place are the donkeys. When we were there a few years back, there was only 1 small restaurant that was operational. Bad food and very expensive so pack your lunch, snacks & drinks. It's an experience to do once and cross it off the bucket list.
