Self Storage – Ann Road

It’s Not "The Strip," But North Las Vegas Still Offers Excitement and Plenty to Do

Since North Las Vegas was incorporated in 1946, it has steadily grown to nearly 250,000 people – making it the fourth-largest city in Nevada. This growing community spreads out in the arid Mojave Desert; locals enjoy mild winters and hot summers, with frequent monsoon thunderstorms during the late summer.

Business thrives in North Las Vegas. The city made a name for itself through manufacturing, industrial and warehouse distribution companies and has gradually transitioned into more high-tech and custom manufacturing. A growing roster of big business includes Amazon (with more than one warehouse in North Las Vegas), Bigelow Aerospace, Nellis Air Force Base and the Energy Nevada Test Site.

Young families and first-time home buyers appreciate the city’s lower-than-average housing costs, easy commute to other areas in the Las Vegas Valley, myriad amenities, excellent schools and a distinct sense of community. It’s close to one of the biggest tourist destinations in the country, yet those in North Las Vegas appreciate the area’s low crime rate and quiet, family-friendly atmosphere.

What to Do Near Ann Road in North Las Vegas, NV

Ann Road runs horizontally through North Las Vegas, allowing easy access to some of the area’s best attractions, most in-demand neighborhoods and popular commuter corridors. We chose our Ann Road storage facility’s location for this ease and convenience.

Those in the Ann Road area often spend a weekend night at the West Wind Drive-In Movie Theater. This theater hearkens back to midcentury movie outings, while bringing it into the twenty-first century with high-quality digital projectors and giant screens easily viewed from the comfort of your car. Before heading to a movie, though, grab a pizza at Rocco’s New York Pizza, just off the Bruce Woodbury Beltway. It’s a favorite among locals seeking NYC-style pizzas and sandwiches in laid-back digs.

Going further north, make sure to swing by the Gilcrease Orchard, a family-run farm first established in the late 1800s before North Las Vegas was even on the map. It’s one of the premier places in the area to pick your own seasonal fruits and veggies, like leafy greens, peaches, carrots and more. Visitors are amazed by the bounty achieved with a little care water – even in the middle of the desert – and take armfuls of fresh food home.

Aliante is a beautiful, master-planned community less than a 10-minute drive from our Ann Road location. Founded in the early 2000s, the neighborhood offers something for everyone, including the Aliante Casino and Hotel, a retirement community centered on a lush golf course, a library and the Aliante Nature Discovery Park. The recently renovated Nature Discovery Park is adored by families and kids for its manicured lawns, jungle gym and waterfall. Kids are sure to spend hours engrossed in their own archaeological expedition at the “Dino Dig Tot Lot,” finding their own “fossils” in the shade of a model triceratops skull.

If you’re looking for some real fossils, though, take a trip to the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument (about a 20-minute drive from our facility), which was created to preserve Ice Age-Era paleontological discoveries. Fossils unearthed at the site include mammoths and American lions, between 7,000 and 250,000 years old. Even though the Mojave Desert seems inhospitable today, it was once a verdant habitat where many Ice Age creatures roamed.

While you won’t find any (live) mammoths in North Las Vegas nowadays, it’s still one of the best places in Nevada to call home.
