| - We live in Atlanta but for my job we had to go to Las Vegas for six months and that meant finding an apartment...for the first time in 15 years. I had heard that Henderson was nice, and it was close to my job, so the day after flying out we got on Yelp, typed "apartments" in Henderson, sort by highest rated and...that's how we ended up visiting Chateau Calais. One apartment tour and 45 minutes later, we signed a lease.
That turned out to be one of the best (sober) decisions we made all trip.
Since our budget wasn't constrained we opted for a top floor, three bedroom, two bath with a two car garage. The first thing we noticed is that it was QUIET! Like, we never heard any of our neighbors in six months. For us, used to living in our house, this was a primary concern and we were more than happy. The grounds were always well kept and the staff was wonderful; Desseri, Karin, and Ana were fantastic as were the maintenance guys.
Right around the corner is the best sushi place in Vegas, I Love Sushi, and you are only minutes from being able to hike in the hills or hit the bike trails. Also within walking distance is the best gym I ever lifted in, Las Vegas Iron House. 25$/month, no contract, and lots of iron. Remedy's is a local dive sports bar with pool and darts, good food and it's also within walking distance.
As nice as it is to be back in our home in Atlanta, we often talk about our "apartment in Vegas" and how much we liked it; late night excursions with beer to the massive whirlpool, laying out by the big pool reading, grilling out in front of our garage, etc.
To the people who gripe about dog shit in the dog area: get over it. You live in an apartment complex. Not everyone is going to pick up their dog's shit. I live in a nice neighborhood in Atlanta and I find dog shit on my lawn...and I don't own a dog.
