Renting in 89183: What to Expect in 2026

Not everyone moving to 89183 wants to buy right away — and that's smart. Renting first lets you learn the area, test your commute, and figure out which neighborhood fits before committing $400K+. Here's what the rental market looks like right now.

What You'll Pay

Rental prices in 89183 as of early 2026:

1-bedroom apartment: $900-$1,100/month
2-bedroom apartment: $1,100-$1,400/month
3-bedroom house: $1,400-$1,800/month
4-bedroom house: $1,700-$2,200/month

These prices are up about 8-12% from 2024 but have stabilized over the past year. The biggest jumps were in 2021-2022 when the whole market went crazy.

For context, these prices are:

15-25% cheaper than comparable rentals in Henderson
20-35% cheaper than Summerlin
40-60% cheaper than LA, San Diego, or Phoenix (comparable neighborhoods)

Apartments vs. Houses

Apartments in 89183 tend to be concentrated along the I-15 corridor and major roads (Silverado Ranch Blvd, Warm Springs). Most complexes were built in the 2000s and are reasonably maintained. Amenities typically include a pool, fitness center, and covered parking.

Things to look for in apartments:

Covered parking is essential. Your car will thank you when it's 115°F outside.
Ground floor vs. upper floor: Upper floors are harder to cool in summer. Ground floors get better A/C efficiency but have less privacy.
Washer/dryer in unit. Not all apartments have this. It's worth the premium if you can find it.

House rentals are the better option for families. 89183 has a healthy supply of single-family homes available for rent, typically owned by investors who bought during the 2010-2020 boom. These are often 3-4 bedrooms with a two-car garage, a yard (usually gravel or minimal landscaping), and a block wall fence.

The advantage of renting a house: more space, a garage, a yard for kids/pets, and the feel of a real neighborhood instead of an apartment complex.

Finding Rentals

Zillow and Apartments.com are the main online sources. Most legitimate listings appear on these platforms. Property management companies handle many of the house rentals. Major ones in the area include Blackbird Realty, VIVO Realty, and American West Properties. They'll run credit and background checks and typically require:

First month's rent + security deposit (usually equal to one month's rent)
Credit score above 600 (620+ for better options)
Income of 3x the monthly rent
No evictions in the past 5 years

Craigslist still exists but use caution. Scams are common — if someone asks you to wire money for a deposit on a property you haven't toured in person, it's a scam. Always verify the listing with the actual property management company.

Lease Terms and Tenant Rights

Most rentals in 89183 are 12-month leases. Some offer month-to-month after the initial year at a premium ($50-$100 more per month).

Nevada tenant rights worth knowing:

Landlords must give 45 days' notice before raising rent on month-to-month leases
Security deposits must be returned within 30 days of move-out (minus documented damages)
Landlords must maintain habitability — working AC is legally required in Las Vegas (it's been tested in court)
You can withhold rent if essential repairs aren't made after proper written notice

The AC clause is important. If your AC breaks in July and the landlord drags their feet, you have legal options. Document everything in writing and know that working air conditioning is a legal right in Clark County.

Tips for Renters in 89183

Tour in person before signing. Photos can be misleading, especially for older properties. Check water pressure, AC performance, and the overall condition of appliances. Check the neighborhood at night. Drive through after dark. Is it well-lit? Are neighbors noisy? Is there street parking competition? These things don't show up in a daytime tour. Budget for utilities. Summer electric bills in Las Vegas are significantly higher than most cities. Budget an extra $150-$250/month for electricity from June through September on top of your rent. Get renters insurance. It's $15-$30/month and covers your belongings if there's a fire, flood, or theft. Many landlords require it anyway. Document everything at move-in. Take photos and video of every wall, floor, and appliance before you unpack. This protects your security deposit. Send copies to your landlord via email so there's a timestamp.

Should You Rent or Buy?

If you're planning to stay in the area for 5+ years and can afford a down payment, buying is usually better financially. But renting first for 6-12 months is a smart move if:

You're new to Las Vegas and not sure which neighborhood you want
You're coming from out of state and want to test the lifestyle
Your job situation might change (new job, potential relocation)
You want to take your time finding the right house without pressure

Many families rent in 89183 for their first year, explore the different neighborhoods, and then buy in the specific area that fits them best. That extra year of knowledge often saves them from a $400K mistake.
