KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About Section 10 at a Glance?
Section 10 is a historic large-lot custom enclave in the northwest Las Vegas Valley (ZIPs 89134/89144), priced $800K–$3M+ for estates on half-acre to full-acre parcels per Las Vegas REALTORS, with horse-friendly zoning in pockets, no mandatory HOA, and Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census. The takeaways below unpack the rarity of this corridor.
- The large-lot rarity: half-acre to full-acre custom parcels adjacent to Summerlin — a combination that no new master plan can replicate in this location.
- Horse-friendly zoning: select parcels carry equestrian zoning, increasingly rare within twenty-five minutes of the Strip.
- No mandatory HOA: most Section 10 parcels carry no HOA, giving owners design and use freedom unavailable inside any surrounding master plan.
- Best for: executives, privacy-first buyers, equestrian owners, and California relocators trading coastal acreage costs for Nevada tax advantages.
- Do your homework: well inspection, horse-zoning verification, jumbo financing, and sparse comps all require extra due diligence on any specific parcel.

Ratings cross-checked against the Nevada Report Card, with the ranked table below.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is Section 10 Safe?
Yes — by location and character. Section 10 sits in the established northwest Las Vegas Valley, within City of Las Vegas police jurisdiction, in a low-through-traffic large-lot corridor where residents know their neighbors. Benchmark specific streets through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data before writing any offer.

- Large-lot streets with minimal through-trafficArea character observation
- Mature, owner-occupied residential corridorPre-Summerlin, historic enclave
- Benchmark crime data available by areaVerify specific streets before buying
What Buyers Should Know
Large-lot residential corridors with minimal through-traffic historically correlate with lower property crime than higher-density neighborhoods: fewer passing strangers, neighbors who know each other by name, and natural surveillance across open parcels. Section 10's pre-master-plan character and owner-occupant density reinforce this dynamic.
The surrounding 89134/89144 corridors are established, owner-heavy northwest-valley neighborhoods that include Sun City Summerlin — one of the metro's most secure active-adult communities — and the broader Summerlin-edge areas. Incidents in these corridors run to suburban property matters at rates buyers can verify through FBI UCR-based tools before writing.
For large-lot buyers, the practical picture — sparse through-traffic, neighbor familiarity, and an established northwest-valley location — is among the quieter residential environments available near Summerlin at any price tier.

What's It Like Living in Section 10, Las Vegas?
Living in Section 10 means mature trees, large semi-rural lots, and custom estates minutes from Downtown Summerlin — without a master-plan HOA. The enclave sits within the City of Las Vegas per the City of Las Vegas, on the Summerlin border, with Red Rock Canyon twenty minutes west and the 215 Beltway nearby.
What is Section 10 known for?
Section 10 is known for its historic large-lot character — half-acre to full-acre custom parcels, horse-friendly zoning in pockets, mature trees, and zero mandatory HOA — in a location immediately adjacent to the Summerlin master plan in northwest Las Vegas.
Who should live in Section 10?
Privacy-first executives, equestrian owners, and California relocators who want genuine large-lot custom living within minutes of Summerlin's retail and dining, without architectural review boards or monthly HOA dues.
What is daily life like?
Mornings on large private parcels with mature trees, errands at Downtown Summerlin five to ten minutes away, access to Red Rock Canyon twenty minutes west, and evenings with the Strip roughly twenty-five minutes east.
Where Is Section 10
Section 10 sits in the northwest Las Vegas Valley — immediately east and south of the Summerlin master plan boundary, within ZIPs 89134 and 89144. The 215 Beltway provides quick access north to Sun City Summerlin and south toward the Strip.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Section 10 Score?
Section 10 earns top marks for lot size, autonomy, and large-lot rarity, with honest trade-offs on sparse inventory, older infrastructure on some parcels, and the custom-comp expertise required. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every large-lot buyer before a first showing.
Grade A: Lot Size & Privacy
Half-acre to full-acre parcels with no architectural review — the rarest combination in the northwest valley.
Grade B: Schools
Zoned CCSD campuses rate 7–8/10 per GreatSchools, with Palo Verde High School and strong private options within fifteen minutes.
Grade B+: Cost of Living
Large-lot estates from $800K with no HOA — structurally cheaper than comparable acreage anywhere in coastal California.
Grade A-: Location
Five to ten minutes to Downtown Summerlin, twenty to Red Rock Canyon, twenty-five to the Strip, and quick 215 Beltway access.
Grade A: Outdoor Access
Private parcels with room for pools, barns, and courts; Red Rock Canyon's 195,000 conservation acres twenty minutes west.
Grade B: Amenities
No HOA amenity package — residents use Downtown Summerlin for dining and retail, Red Rock for recreation, and build private amenities on-site.

Quick Answer
Is Section 10 a good place to live?
Yes — if large-lot privacy, custom construction, and autonomy top your list. Section 10 pairs half-acre to full-acre parcels and horse-friendly zoning with a location five to ten minutes from Downtown Summerlin, twenty minutes from Red Rock Canyon, and twenty-five from the Strip. Most parcels carry no mandatory HOA, meaning no architectural review board and no monthly dues beyond city services. The trade-offs are real — sparse inventory, older infrastructure on some parcels, and limited comparables for appraisals — but for buyers who value genuine large-lot rarity in the northwest valley, very few addresses compete.
Source: City of Las Vegas
Who Lives in Section 10?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city that contains Section 10 — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside Section 10's large-lot parcels, the profile reflects a custom-estate buyer: executives, entrepreneurs, equestrian owners, and California relocators valuing parcel size and tax advantages.
The Census does not tabulate Section 10 separately as a named place, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Our closing data shows a mix of privacy-first executives, downsizers seeking large private parcels, equestrian owners, and a growing stream of California relocators trading coastal acreage costs for Nevada's zero state income tax and Clark County's low effective property-tax rate.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Section 10 Area Growing?
Section 10's large-lot parcels are finite — the land exists, and the estate character is established. Its parent city keeps expanding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and northwest valley corridors adjacent to Summerlin rank among the most in-demand large-lot addresses in the metro.
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Large-lot equestrian land in the northwest Las Vegas Valley is not being created — the Summerlin master plan and surrounding development have consumed the surrounding acreage, making Section 10's semi-rural parcels structurally scarce. As the city grows toward 700,000 by 2030, the case for owning genuine large-lot land adjacent to Summerlin only strengthens.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Section 10 Score for Livability?
Section 10 scores highest on lot size, autonomy, and location: half-acre to full-acre custom parcels with no mandatory HOA, five minutes from Downtown Summerlin, and twenty minutes from Red Rock Canyon. The honest trade-offs are sparse inventory and custom-comp complexity. Six categories below, benchmarked to Census and area data.

- Limited comparables make appraisals and valuation judgment-dependent
- Older infrastructure on some parcels — structural inspection is essential on pre-2000 custom homes

WHY SECTION 10
Why Does Section 10 Stand Apart From Its Peers?
From the large semi-rural lots to the horse-friendly zoning, Section 10 occupies a niche no surrounding master plan fills. The five advantages below are each tied to a verifiable source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, Clark County Assessor data, Census figures, and the area character record — so you can check every claim.
- Area character record · Clark County Assessor
Genuine large lots adjacent to Summerlin
Half-acre to full-acre custom parcels immediately east of the Summerlin border — a combination unavailable at any price inside any of the surrounding master plans.
- Clark County zoning records
Horse-friendly zoning still available
Select parcels carry equestrian zoning — a vanishing asset in the northwest valley as surrounding master plans have built out on smaller lots.
- City of Las Vegas
No mandatory HOA on most parcels
Owners set their own landscaping, fencing, and outbuilding choices within City of Las Vegas zoning — no architectural review board, no monthly dues.
- Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471
Zero state income tax + 3% property-tax cap
Nevada levies no personal income tax, and primary-residence tax increases are capped at 3% annually under NRS 361.471 — two lines that fund most California relocations.
- Area character record
Pre-master-plan maturity
Decades of established trees, mature landscaping, and custom architecture — an environment and lot character the surrounding new master plans cannot replicate.
WHY BUY IN SECTION 10
What Are the Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Home in Section 10?
Section 10's case rests on large-lot rarity and autonomy: half-acre to full-acre parcels adjacent to Summerlin, horse-friendly zoning in select areas, no mandatory HOA, and property taxes capped at 3% annual growth under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. Ten sourced reasons follow.
Large lots unavailable inside any master plan
Half-acre to full-acre parcels adjacent to Summerlin — you cannot buy this lot size inside any surrounding HOA community.
Area character record
Horse-friendly zoning on select parcels
Equestrian land within twenty-five minutes of the Strip — a combination that no longer exists at this proximity anywhere in the metro.
Clark County zoning records
Zero state income tax
Nevada levies no personal income tax — five-figure annual savings for most California relocating households.

3% property-tax cap by statute

Who Builds New Homes in and Around Section 10?
No production builder operates in Section 10 — it is strictly a custom and resale market. New opportunities arrive as teardown-rebuild projects on large lots.

The Section 10 Lifestyle
What Does a Weekend in Section 10 Look Like?
Three moods within minutes of your parcel: a morning on your own half-acre with mature trees and horses, shopping and dinner at Downtown Summerlin eight minutes away, and Red Rock Canyon's roughly 195,000 conservation acres per the Bureau of Land Management twenty minutes west when you want to go bigger.
THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Can You Tour Section 10 Homes This Weekend?
Open houses are uncommon here — large-lot custom estates show by private appointment, and turnover is thin enough that a Section 10 open house is a notable event. Set up instant alerts to catch new listings the moment they hit MLS, or browse active area listings now and we will arrange a private tour.
Quick Answer
What is horse zoning in Section 10?
Select parcels in Section 10 carry Clark County horse-friendly zoning — meaning the land is entitled for equestrian use, including barns, paddocks, and riding areas on the parcel. This zoning is not available on every lot; verify the specific parcel's equestrian status with the Clark County Assessor before you make any assumptions about equestrian use. Well and irrigation access should also be inspected. Horse-zoned land this close to Summerlin and the 215 Beltway is among the most finite assets in the northwest Las Vegas Valley.
Should I Move to Section 10?
Every month, Bay Area and Southern California households discover that large-lot custom estate living — horse properties, mature trees, half-acre parcels — is attainable in northwest Las Vegas at a fraction of coastal pricing. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero, and that single line item funds most relocations.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Section 10
The tax math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Section 10 adds what coastal rural-estate markets can't match at the price: large semi-rural lots adjacent to one of the nation's best-ranked master plans, a 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate with a 3% annual cap for primary residences, and horse-friendly zoning that is vanishing from the southwest's suburban fringe.
At a $1.5 million budget, a Marin County buyer is looking at a quarter-acre cottage with no outbuildings. That same budget in Section 10 secures a custom estate on a half-acre-to-acre parcel — with room for a pool, barn, or guesthouse — five minutes from Downtown Summerlin and twenty minutes from the Strip.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the Summerlin-edge corridor (89134/89144) carries active custom-estate listings priced $800K to $3M+. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data lets you benchmark area safety parcel by parcel, and the Bureau of Land Management manages the roughly 195,000-acre Red Rock Canyon conservation area about twenty minutes west.
Section 10 residents operate on a professional and entrepreneurial economy: executives, physicians, and business owners who value parcel autonomy over master-plan amenity packages. The Downtown Summerlin corporate corridor is five to ten minutes away, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center is about ten minutes by car, and the Strip's resort employment core is twenty-five minutes east — the corridor's northwest position is precisely why privacy-first buyers choose it.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Section 10 vs. Bay Area, CA
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest is the one that matters here: large-lot custom estate living that starts near $800,000 in Section 10 starts in the multiple millions behind comparable Bay Area gates or in Marin County's rural-residential corridors.
| Metric | Section 10, NV | Bay Area, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Large-Lot Custom Estate Entry | ~$800K (½–1 acre) | $2.5M+ (Marin ½-acre) |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.0%–1.25%+ |
| HOA | None on most parcels | Varies ($200–$600/mo typical) |
| Airport Commute | ~25 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (SFO) |

Section 10 Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Executive and estate leases in Section 10 are rare — large-lot custom homes in this corridor skew heavily toward owner-occupants, and rental listings surface infrequently. Horse-property leases do exist but compete for a thin tenant pool. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas. For buyers with a 5+ year horizon, the parcel scarcity — large lots in the northwest valley are permanently finite — tilts decisively toward owning over leasing.

Already planning a move to Section 10? Our team specializes in out-of-state relocation — virtual estate and parcel tours, horse-zoning and well-inspection coordination, custom-home comp analysis, and closing coordination without flying in repeatedly.
Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to Section 10 in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Section 10 buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Define your parcel priorities
Decide what you need: horse-zoning, minimum lot size, well or city water, condition (move-in vs. rebuild candidate), and price ceiling. Section 10 is a custom market — specificity upfront saves months of searching.
Get pre-approved — jumbo-aware
Most Section 10 estates exceed the conforming loan limit and require jumbo financing with 20–25% down plus reserves. Line up your lender before you tour; cash offers are common and competitive at this tier.
Hire a large-lot custom-home specialist
With thin turnover and sparse comparables, valuation requires judgment on lot size, zoning, condition, and proximity to Summerlin. Work with an agent who tracks this specific corridor — call (702) 637-1759.
Tour in person or virtually
Private showings by appointment — there are no guard gates here, but large-lot properties show best when the listing agent coordinates the visit. Virtual tours work well for California buyers doing first-pass research.
Write and negotiate the offer
Cash is common at the estate tier; financed buyers compete with clean terms and jumbo pre-approvals. Ask your agent for the seller's real position before you write — thin comps make anchor pricing important.
Inspection, zoning & parcel diligence
Order a structural inspection (especially on pre-2000 custom homes), confirm horse-zoning or agricultural status with the Clark County Assessor, inspect the well if applicable, and review any CC&Rs or easements with title.
Clear conditions & fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Jumbo appraisals on large-lot custom estates may need additional time for comparable research.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), then handle the DMV — Nevada license within 30 days of residency, vehicle registration within 60.
ECONOMY & JOBS
What Drives the Section 10 Economy?
Section 10 residents are executives, physicians, and business owners who value parcel autonomy and northwest valley access. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and the northwest valley's proximity to Summerlin's corporate and medical corridors makes it ideal for high-earner households.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning an entry-level Section 10 estate for five years nets out cheaper than leasing once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $249,000 in equity while the renter walks away with none. Large-lot scarcity-supported appreciation above the modeled 3% widens the gap further.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Section 10?
Most Section 10 purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers on estate-tier properties can close in 7–14 days. Jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time when comparables are sparse; horse-zoned parcels may need additional zoning confirmation. Budget 45 days and confirm your lender's timeline before you write.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Section 10?
Most Section 10 buyers put down 10% to 25%. On an $800,000 entry estate, plan roughly $80,000 (10%) to $160,000 (20%). Custom estates and rebuilt properties above the conforming loan limit require jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Lenders may require additional appraisal documentation on large-lot custom properties with limited comparable sales in the area — ask your lender before you make assumptions.
Section 10 FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Section 10 Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is Section 10 in Las Vegas?
Section 10 is a historic custom-home enclave in the northwest Las Vegas Valley — ZIP codes 89134 and 89144 — predating Summerlin. It offers half-acre to full-acre lots, horse-friendly zoning in pockets, mature trees, and custom estates priced from roughly $800,000 to $3 million-plus per Las Vegas REALTORS area data.
What makes Section 10 different from Summerlin communities?
Section 10 predates Summerlin and its HOA architecture boards. Lots run half an acre to a full acre — far larger than most master-plan lots — with horse-friendly zoning in certain pockets, mature trees planted decades before Summerlin broke ground, and true custom construction rather than production builder floor plans. Buyers trade new-build amenities for genuine large-lot rarity within minutes of every Summerlin convenience.
Are there horse properties in Section 10?
Yes — select parcels in Section 10 carry horse-friendly zoning, an increasingly rare asset in the northwest valley as surrounding master plans have built out. Buyers seeking equestrian land this close to the 215 Beltway and Downtown Summerlin find very few alternatives at any price. Verify zoning and well/irrigation access for any specific parcel with the Clark County Assessor before you write an offer.
What are property taxes like in Section 10?
Property taxes are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On an $800,000 entry estate that translates to approximately $4,000–$5,600 per year — a fraction of a comparable large-lot property in coastal California.
What is the median home price in Section 10?
Section 10 spans ZIPs 89134 and 89144 — the Summerlin-edge corridor of northwest Las Vegas. Area list-price medians run roughly $700K–$900K across those ZIPs per Las Vegas REALTORS data, but custom estates on large lots within Section 10 proper start near $800,000 and reach $3 million-plus depending on lot size, horse-zoning status, and renovation quality. Days on market run about 22 for the area.
Is Section 10 inside Summerlin?
No — Section 10 is a historic enclave in the City of Las Vegas that predates and borders Summerlin rather than being part of it. Residents gain no Howard Hughes Corporation HOA membership and have no architectural review board, which is a feature for custom-home buyers who want design freedom. Downtown Summerlin shopping and dining is about five to ten minutes away.
Does Section 10 have an HOA?
Most Section 10 parcels carry no mandatory HOA, which is the defining contrast with every surrounding master plan. Lot owners set their own landscaping, fencing, and outbuilding choices within City of Las Vegas zoning — a major draw for buyers who want the large-lot lifestyle without architectural review committees. Confirm the specific parcel's CC&R and easement status with title before closing.
What schools serve Section 10?
Section 10 falls in Clark County School District's northwest zone. Nearby campuses include Palo Verde High School (rated 8/10 per GreatSchools), Ernest Becker Jr. Middle School, and Lummis Elementary. Private options include Bishop Gorman High School and The Meadows School, both within a fifteen-minute drive. Verify exact zoning for any address at the CCSD website before making school-dependent decisions.
How does Section 10 compare to Summerlin luxury communities?
Section 10 wins on lot size and autonomy: half-acre to full-acre custom parcels with no HOA versus the quarter-acre-or-less production lots inside most Summerlin villages. Summerlin's The Ridges counters with new trophy architecture and Red Rock views, but entry there starts near $2 million. Section 10 buyers choose rarity — genuine large lots, horse zoning, and mature trees — over HOA amenities and new construction.
Is Section 10 safe?
Section 10 sits in the established northwest Las Vegas Valley — one of the metro's quieter residential corridors — within City of Las Vegas police jurisdiction. Large-lot communities with low through-traffic density historically correlate with lower property crime than higher-density corridors, as verified through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. Benchmark the specific streets you're considering through UCR-based tools before writing an offer.
What is new construction availability in Section 10?
No production builder operates in Section 10 — by definition it is a custom and resale market. Opportunities come as teardown and rebuild candidates on large lots, remodel-to-studs projects, or move-in-ready estates that prior owners have already renovated. Buyers who want new builds with similar large-lot character look at The Ridges or Ascension Peaks in Summerlin, five to fifteen minutes west.
How far is Section 10 from Downtown Summerlin?
Section 10 sits immediately adjacent to the Summerlin master plan — Downtown Summerlin's retail, dining, and Las Vegas Ballpark complex is roughly five to ten minutes by car via West Sahara Avenue or the 215 Beltway. Residents enjoy every Summerlin amenity without the HOA dues or architectural review that come with master-plan membership.
What is the lot size in Section 10?
Section 10 lots typically run from approximately half an acre to a full acre — roughly five to ten times the size of a production-builder lot inside most Summerlin villages. Some parcels support outbuildings, equestrian facilities, pools, tennis courts, and guesthouses that master-plan lots simply cannot accommodate. That acreage is the primary reason buyers choose Section 10 over every neighboring master plan.
What does Nevada vs California taxes mean for Section 10 buyers?
California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 in state income taxes per year by relocating. Combined with Clark County's 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate and the 3% primary-residence cap under NRS 361.471, Section 10 delivers large-lot custom-estate living at a total cost of ownership that is structurally impossible to replicate in the Bay Area or coastal Southern California.
What should I know before buying in Section 10?
Four items move real money here. First, confirm horse-zoning or agricultural status for the specific parcel — not the neighborhood generally. Second, order a well inspection if the property uses private water. Third, get a structural inspection on any custom home predating 2000; renovation quality varies widely. Fourth, comps are sparse — true large-lot custom sales in this corridor may number in the single digits per month, so valuation demands judgment. Call (702) 637-1759 and we will pull the right comparables before you write.
What down payment do you need to buy in Section 10?
Most Section 10 buyers put down 10% to 25%. On an $800,000 entry estate, plan roughly $80,000 (10%) to $160,000 (20%). Custom estates and rebuilt properties above the conforming loan limit require jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Lenders may require additional appraisal documentation on large-lot custom properties with limited comparables — ask your lender before you make assumptions.
Does Section 10 have HOA fees?
Most Section 10 parcels carry no mandatory HOA, which distinguishes the area from every surrounding master plan. Lot owners set their own landscaping and fencing within City of Las Vegas zoning rules. Confirm the specific parcel's CC&R, easement, and deed-restriction status with title early in escrow — a small number of older covenants do exist on certain blocks, and you want to know before you offer.
How long does it take to close on a home in Section 10?
Most Section 10 purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers on estate-tier properties can close in 7–14 days. Jumbo files on custom properties with limited comparables sometimes need extra appraisal time; budget 45 days to be safe. Horse-zoned or agricultural parcels may require additional title and zoning confirmation that adds a few days to the standard timeline.

Section 10 is a historic pre-master-plan custom-home enclave in the northwest Las Vegas Valley (ZIPs 89134/89144), known for half-acre to full-acre lots, horse-friendly zoning in pockets, mature trees, and custom estates priced $800K to $3M+.

Can you have horses in Section 10?
Yes — select parcels in Section 10 carry Clark County horse-friendly zoning, including room for barns and paddocks. Verify the specific parcel's equestrian zoning status with the Clark County Assessor before assuming equestrian use. Well and irrigation access should be independently inspected.
