We live in Pahrump and it’s awesome. The people are great and we love all the small businesses. Bought a great house on 1.3 acres, a full casita, 6 total garage bays including an rv garage, pool, trees and grass it’s an oasis. It would probably be worth over a million in Vegas we paid less then 1/2 of that. You can keep Vegas and all of its city BS, traffic and HOA rules. And the dude on the right is full of it. The only time you can drive anywhere less then 15 min away is in the middle of the night. Between the Vegas traffic and construction the roads always suck.

[@allan640]

160 sucked in 1990, now its somehow worse after being widened in a construction project that took three years to long

[@bobbycv64]

@timdavidheiser855 you are 100% correct on everything. My wife and I moved to Pahrump in 2023 and LOVE IT. Everytime I go to Vegas to the major stores once a month, I ALWAYS look forward to leaving. VEGAS was great in the 70's and 80's, now Vegas sucks royally. And you are correct @timdavidheiser855 the BIG MOUTH in the video is a STOOGE

In Cali for 17 years, came to vegas in 1974, he's 65! I love it here in Pahrump! Great doctors, on city water & sewer, right on arguably the best golf course in Nevada, plenty of water, even gas is $.75 per gallon less than vegas.

[@le_th_]

Cali is a VERY BIG state. Moving from Needles to Pahrump isn't that big of a change. Moving from the city of San Francisco, the snowy Sierra mountains or the beaches of SoCal is a WORLD APART.

Don't downplay my town like this. I grew up on pahrump and its actually pretty safe, plenty of space, there are quite a few parks, the only downside is that there is only one pediatrician in pahrump now but the schools are very accommodating, they're safe and willing to work with parents.

[@doctorhadland6510]

Pahrump is absolutely wonderful minus the heat. I was born 4th generation Las Vegan and raised near Tuley Springs. Stars, cleaner air, less traffic, less lights, less government, more land, more space, more freedom, I could go on for awhile.

I moved from Vegas to Amargosa Valley a year ago. I was hopeful about Pahrump but was shocked at how shady the businesses are there. Pete's Auto was so dishonest -outright liars and manipulators.

About 30 years ago I bought a acre and a quarter there for 5000 bucks. On a paved road. Which are very few. I bought it from some doctor that had 40 acre's that he sub decided. I had to dig a well, bring in electricity. Then put a brand new double wide trailer on it. Then put in a septic. I can't remember what it cost me to have the electric, well and septic put in back then. But it wasn't bad. Because I still had some cash left to put a good down payment on the new trailer. My goal was to have enough money left to put a nice down payment on the trailer. So my mortgage payment would be around 500 bucks a month. As it turned out I got my mortgage payment down to 340 bucks a month. So with my utilities and mortgage payment together was only around 500 bucks a month. This was way before any of the box stores got there. All there was was a little market and a ace hardware. I had to work in vegas. So that's about 150 miles round trip. Six days a week. And back then hwy 160 was just one lane each way. And there was no range fencing up yet so wild donkeys and horses were crossing the hwy all the time. There were head on wrecks all the time. It was very dangerous. But having to work in vegas, kicked up my cost of living, dramatically. And then all the driving time, at least a hour each way. It was a huge pain in the pah rump. LoL 😂😆. Then once I started doing business there and meeting all the morons that live there. I got totally disgusted and regretted moving there. Everybody and everything is corrupt. The government the police and every idiot I ever met. I stuck it out for 10 years. And that was to long. Needless to say I don't live there anymore. But I still own the property. Because all the morons that ever made a offer to buy it wanted it for nothing. 🖕 Them. I'll die first before I do that. And leave it to my kids. Just a friendly tip. Don't move to pahrump. IT SUCKS. You will regret it.

[@dozervin1]

Good RIDDANCE.

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

Best decision I ever made in that town was leaving and never looking back.. Tweekers and shady shit. I'm pretty sure if you spent enough time out there back when it was just PJ's Supermarket and Ace Hardware then I'm sure you'll be able to identify with the idea of there being a sort of "force field" or invisible barrier around the valley that doesn't allow shame to enter.. There's no shame out there amongst the people who have lived there for more than a decade or even less.. Once you've been identified as a resident of Pahrump you suddenly have no sense of shame and I was super lucky to have only had to live there a year at a time for a few years in the early 90s. I still had a sense of shame that allowed me to keep perspective on this place that has so many weirdo tweekers and if you watch the episodes of Cops or the other show, same thing but it was called Live Patrol or some shit - watch the episodes filmed in Nye County and you'll see the typical residents there. Prepare for the ultimate cringe compilations those episodes are unreal and yet that's the way it really is out in Pahrump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

depends on what time of year it is it is not that big of a difference though it is 45 which sometimes turns to 35 IE winter time then when summer rolls around it goes to 25 since it is near a very busy Park. there's another spot on the same road (Basin) that has a Time restricted speed reduction due to a retirement community.

So, that said, do you OFTEN broadcast to the entire world that your parents broke you so badly during the first five years of life that you remain forever emotionally stunted and developmentally arrested at about the age of 4-5 years old, in what is clinically known as the narcissistic stage?

[@falconking9091]

If you move to Pahrump, rent someone's house first. Don't buy until you've been in Pahrump at least 1 year. Pahrump is kind of a real estate scam. The unincorporated "town" is very inconvenient for modern life, considering how expensive the investment is to live in Pahrump. You will most likely want to move back to Vegas, unless you decide to take up farming. You could have pigs, alpacas, goats, cows, etc. There's basically no other reason to be in Pahrump.
