Frequently Asked Questions

Residence at Sierra Vista sits at 920 Sierra Vista Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89169 — right in the heart of the University District, one of the most connected neighborhoods in the city. The Las Vegas Convention Center is less than a mile away, and the Strip is just a seven-minute drive. You're also walking distance from Boulevard Mall for quick errands and dining. It's that rare spot in Vegas where you can actually walk to things. Check our Directions page for turn-by-turn info.

About 2.2 miles — a short drive or a bikeable distance depending on your route. If you're connected to UNLV for school, work, or campus events, you're not dealing with a long commute from this address. The University District puts you right in the orbit of the campus without the parking chaos of being on-campus. The Thomas & Mack Center, UNLV's arena, is around the same distance — great for sports events and concerts. Check out our Floor Plans page to see what's currently available.

Right now you'll find a well-designed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom floor plan — the A1 — at a compact 496 square feet, ideal when you want a private, low-maintenance space in a prime location. It's a smart layout that makes great use of every square foot. Head over to our Floor Plans page to see the exact layout, dimensions, and current availability.

The community amenities are genuinely solid for a boutique property. You've got a swimming pool to beat the Vegas heat, a BBQ and picnic area for outdoor gatherings, lush landscaping throughout, 24-hour emergency maintenance, on-site laundry facilities, and professional management staff on-site. Inside your unit, expect air conditioning (non-negotiable in Nevada), and a private balcony or patio depending on your unit. The property is also pet-friendly, so four-legged companions are welcome. Browse everything on our Amenities page.

Yes — pets are welcome here. The community is pet-friendly, and if you like getting outside with your dog, the UNLV Arboretum is only about 1.6 miles away for a scenic stroll. For specific details on pet fees, breed restrictions, or weight limits, get the latest from our leasing office — policies can vary and we want to make sure you have the accurate current info before you apply.

It's a walkable 0.9 miles — about 15–18 minutes on foot, or a two-minute drive. If you attend trade shows, conferences, or events at the Las Vegas Convention Center regularly, this location is genuinely convenient. The Convention Center Monorail Station is right there too, giving you quick, traffic-free access to the mid-Strip and beyond. That kind of connectivity is hard to replicate elsewhere in the city without paying Strip-adjacent prices.

Boulevard Mall is about a 10-minute walk — handy for shopping, dining, and picking up everyday items. Vons on East Twain Avenue is roughly a mile out for full grocery runs. The surrounding University District also has a dense mix of restaurants, cafes, and shops — you really can handle most daily errands without getting in your car. That kind of walkability is a legitimate selling point in Las Vegas, where most communities are very car-dependent.

The restaurant lineup within half a mile is genuinely impressive. Gangnam Asian BBQ is about 0.5 miles away, Mint Indian Bistro is right nearby, Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas is a 0.6-mile walk if you're in the mood for a proper beer and schnitzel night, and Ferraro's Ristorante is nearby for upscale Italian. The density of dining options in this neighborhood is one of those things you really appreciate when you live here.

Both, yes. There's a professional management team on-site during business hours, and 24-hour emergency maintenance is available around the clock. So if something breaks at midnight, you're not sitting there waiting until Monday morning — someone responds. It's one of those things that's easy to overlook when you're touring but becomes very relevant the moment something goes wrong in your apartment.

Seven minutes by car, give or take, depending on traffic. The Strip is close enough to be convenient but far enough that you're not dealing with the tourist congestion every day. You can hop over to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center (0.9 miles) for healthcare, or head 3.6 miles southwest to Harry Reid International Airport — about an 8-minute drive. This is legitimately one of the most central and accessible residential addresses in the city.

Absolutely. The RTC is accessible from the property, and the Convention Center Monorail Station is under a mile away, connecting you to multiple points along the Strip without needing a car. I-15 freeway access is also nearby for commuters heading in any direction.
