North Park Living sits in North Las Vegas, a quiet corner of the valley with the Strip and desert trails nearby. Everyday life here leans on the places right around it: a 170-acre park 1.5 miles away, a dinosaur-themed nature park built around a lake and waterfall, a NASCAR speedway on the north edge of town, and a full casino resort for a night out. Here is how you can spend a day around North Park Living, starting with the park closest to your door.<\/p>\n
A Morning at Craig Ranch Regional Park<\/h2>\n
The closest of the neighborhood's big draws is <\/a>Craig Ranch Regional Park<\/span><\/a><\/a>, a 170-acre spread of green just 1.5 miles from the <\/a>apartments at North Park Living<\/span><\/a><\/a>. On a cool morning, the 1.3-mile loop around the ponds makes an easy walk or run before the heat sets in, and the wide lawns leave room to spread out a picnic or toss a frisbee. It is the kind of park where a whole morning flies by.<\/p>\n Craig Ranch Regional Park does not empty out when the morning ends either. The AMP, its outdoor amphitheater, puts on concerts and festivals, and with a stage that big a few minutes from home, catching live music under the open sky becomes a last-minute decision rather than a night you plan around. That is the quiet advantage of living this close: after a few weeks, the park stops feeling like a place you drive to and starts feeling like part of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n About 5 miles north, in the Aliante community, <\/a>Aliante Nature Discovery Park<\/span><\/a><\/a> wraps a man-made lake and a cascading waterfall in walking paths, creeks, and wooden bridges. It is a calm place for a morning walk, and the water draws ducks and other birds, so it doubles as an easy spot for wildlife watching. The whole park covers about 20 acres, small enough to walk in full and green enough to forget you are in the desert.<\/p>\n Locals call it Dinosaur Park, and one look at the playground explains why: a towering dinosaur climber and a sandy pit where kids can dig for pretend fossils. On warm afternoons the splash pad turns it into a place families settle in for hours, and since it is free, it is easy to swing by on a whim. You end up coming back, whether you have kids along or just want a quiet loop by the water.<\/p>\n Back in Aliante, a short drive past the nature park, <\/a>Aliante Casino<\/span><\/a><\/a> is where the neighborhood goes for a night out. Dinner might be a steak at MRKT or something quick from the food court, and the casino floor is a few steps away when you want a hand of blackjack or just to catch the game at the sportsbook. It is an easy place to land after work when you want dinner and a little to do.<\/p>\n The draw goes past the gaming floor, too. A 16-screen movie theater and a 650-seat showroom put a new release or live music on the same property, and the pool and spa are there when you would rather unwind. The casino fits a quick dinner, a movie day, or a full night a short trip from your apartment.<\/p>\n For something louder, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway<\/span><\/a><\/a> is about 11.5 miles up the interstate, at the north end of the valley. The 1.5-mile oval hosts two NASCAR Cup Series weekends a year, and the fall race, the South Point 400, is one of the biggest sporting events in the state. Down the road at the drag strip, NHRA cars launch past 300 miles per hour, and The Bullring, a short oval, hosts grassroots stock-car races on weekend nights.<\/p>\n The Speedway is worth a visit on non-race days too. It offers driving experiences year-round, where you can climb into a NASCAR-style stock car and drive the oval yourself or ride shotgun with a pro, plus indoor and outdoor karting for a lower-key thrill. After a hot afternoon at the track, the resort-style pool<\/span><\/a><\/a> back at North Park Living is a good place to cool down.<\/p>\n A morning at Craig Ranch, an afternoon by the lake at Aliante, a night out at the casino, and a race weekend at the Speedway: that is a full range of days, all at the north end of the valley. North Park Living puts all of it within a few miles, with quick access to I-15, US 95, and the 215 Beltway when the rest of the city calls. A new apartment here comes with a neighborhood full of attractions and things to do.<\/p>\n It all starts with finding the right apartment to call home.
