Top Las Vegas Neighborhoods for Searching Homes With Mother-in-Law Suite

If you’re searching for a new place to call home in Las Vegas, you likely already have a wish list. That list probably includes a desired location and perhaps a particular style of home. You may also be interested in a certain neighborhood for its amenities or its extra privacy. There are some buyers, however, that are searching for a little something else. 

Perhaps something that can make it easier to take care of extended family members, or even accommodate overnight guests. While some of these extra living spaces are detached casitas, others are spacious mother-in-law suites attached to the main home, but often with a bit more privacy than you’d find with a typical guestroom. For those in search of homes with a mother-in-law suite, here are some of the top Las Vegas neighborhoods to search:

Southern Highlands
