When purchasing a home in the southern Nevada, it is always good to consider the direction your home faces. For example, homes normally have most of their windows in the rear of the home.

With our temperatures at or above 105 degrees, the time in the direct sun needs to be at a minimum. When you have a southern backyard you get more sun in the winter months almost all day long. That could be a big advantage or it may be a big disadvantage. When you have a north backyard, you do not get the sun in your windows in the rear of your home any time all year long. East backyards get morning sun and they are terrific for entertaining in the afternoon for things during the barbecue season.
