WHY WE STARTED VERYAPT
VeryApt was born from the simple realization that the small things about an apartment are
often the most important: a friendly doorman, lots of sunlight in the living room, a running trail
nearby, or that amazing hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant across the street. We understand that
the frustrations of apartment hunting are universal, but share a belief that it doesn't have to be.
We know what makes an apartment truly feel like home is unique for each person and that's
why our focus is on bringing you personalized recommendations based on timely, relevant, and
real user reviews. We'll be there every step of the way to help you find your perfect apartment.

Paradise
The Las Vegas Strip
ABOUT PARADISE
Paradise is its own unincorporated, census-
designated town, rather than a neighborhood
of Las Vegas. Alongside the obvious that
comes with living near Las Vegas Strip, the
neighborhood also includes many nice parks
which are perfect to walk a dog or enjoy time
outdoors with friends. Paradise is a very
popular place for students and young
professionals and you'll truly never experience
a dull moment here.

Review by Local Resident Review by Local Resident
Paradise, also know as Las Vegas, is a great city with so Friendly inner-city neighborhood. It has convenient
many things to do and see. Amazing shows and food access to everything you need. Neighbors are friendly
from cultures all over the world allow for acculturation and communicative.The location is very close to UNLV
into many different tastes of the world. Campus. Home values are rising and sales happen quick
in Paradise Palms. Great location only 3.4 miles to the
strip and 5 miles to the new Raider stadium. Doesn’t get
much better than that.
7Spring Valley
Close to the Strip but Quieter
ABOUT SPRING VALLEY
Spring Valley attracts a lot of younger
residents, giving this suburban town a young
and hip energy. While not as bustling as
Paradise, you're close enough to enjoy
everything that Las Vegas has to offer while
being able to separate yourself from the
tourists and crowds.

ABOUT DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS
Downtown is separate from the classic Las
Vegas scene. It's still very walkable and offers
a young atmosphere, making it a fantastic
choice for graduate students. The area is home
to mostly locals and you won't find as many
tourists here. Because of this, rent tends to be
cheaper.

“The apartment on-site management has been responsive and
helpful when we have questions. The community is gated and
safe. The insulation between floors is very good - at least if you
are on the second floor. You cannot hear the voices of neighbors,
only loud bang, such as someone who is hammering a nail into a
wall.he property is only 15 minutes from the school and is close
