Let me Re-introduce myself

It's been a fun few years here at the Frost Residence. That's been my title for the last 3 years and 9 months. The Frosts were the first family to occupy my many rooms, I love them and they have loved me, but now they are moving away. So I am back on the market after a brief hiatus with a new MLS listing, but that listing is only so long and you miss out on many of the things I think are great about myself. So I’ve decided to log on to that internet thing everyone is talking about and start one of those new-fangled blogs that are all the craze these days. Who knows? I might meet my new family this way. Maybe it’s you!

I'm on the Map

I'm busy dusting and mopping myself to make myself all pretty for any of you potential buyers who want to stop by and get a closer look. But in the meantime, here's a link to the Yahoo Maps page of my neighborhood. You'll see there is lots of great golfing nearby, plenty of shopping and dining, and we're close (but not too close) to the major freeways and surface streets.

I've opened comments on this post in case you want to ask me anything specific about the area.

Fine Dining and More

My current owners love cooking in my kitchen. The wife bakes, the husband cooks, and together they fill the house with wonderful smells most nights of the week, and especially on the holidays. But every so often they just want to get out and enjoy the fine cooking of someone else. Judging by the smell of the doggie bags they bring back, these are some of their favorites.

Carrabba's Italian Grill - If you've ever seen those two brothers Johnny and Damian who have the 'Cucina Amore' italian cooking show on PBS, then you have no doubt wanted to taste some of their marvelous food. Carrabba's is the restaurant they started to share their passion for cooking with the world. Yes, it was bought by Outback, but they took the best parts of the Outback chain, the great service, good prices, and large portions, and kept the amazing flavors of the italian dishes the Carrabba's brothers dished up. This restaurant is just 5 minutes away from me and is a sure bet to bring guests to. My owners are very happy there are Carrabba's in the town they're moving to.

Black Mountain Grill - Just a little ways down the hill is another great resturant that is run by someone who loves food and loves shareing it with guests. Part of a larger group of resturants (so they can offer lower prices by saving on orders), this is the showcase restaurant where the best chefs work. The menu is constantly shifting, but that's a good thing as you'll find old favorites and new wonders on each visit. BMG also has a wonderful bar area where you can plunk down a few quarters in the slots, or just kick back in a leather recliner and enjoy an after dinner drink. If you like wine, BMG keeps a large selection of some great ones.

The Hawaiian Plantation House - A truely unique dining experience where you can find the magic and wonder of the Hawaiian islands right down the street. Once you step inside you're swept away by the spices and the friendly 'ohana' service of this great restaurant. The prices are on the upper end of the family restaurant scale, but for that price you'll receive some amazing dishes.

Green Valley Ranch Resort and Casino - The flagship resort of the Station Casino's collection of Local Casinos. This is the 'Bellagio' of locals casinos with decor, diversions, and dining to match. The Feast Buffet hosts some of the best meals every day, and really kicks it up a notch for holidays. Grazing here for hours is one of the best parts about having a spectacular local's casino so close. Also located at GVR is 'The Original Pancake House'. When my homeowner grew up in Portland, Oregon he spent many a fine sunday morning at the original OPH loving every minute of the wait knowing that an amazing breakfast was being prepared for him. That same great food has been brought to Las Vegas and the GVR. The OPH is the place to go for breakfast when guests are in town. Don't miss the Dutch Baby/German Pancakes.

The District at Green Valley Ranch - Finally, right next door to GVR is a brand new area called 'The District'. There's plenty to do here from shopping and dining, to listening to the open air concerts. Also a perfect place to dine prior to an evening of entertainment at Henderson's wonderful outdoor (but covered) concert hall, The Pavillion at Liberty Pointe.

There are many more excellent dining experiences nearby, I hope to get time to share them all with you. But with the market these days you never know.

Around the Neighborhood

Part of the reason behind this blog is to tell you why I like living in this neighborhood. Today it's about the parks.

I'm just 3 blocks from one of Henderson's newest and nicest parks, Anthem Hills Park. So far there have been big events there every few months or so. Whether it's del webb sponsoring a party, the city hosting a holiday celebration, or some local sporting events, you can find something to do there. The park features a large playground, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, an outdoor hockey rink, a skatepark, and for family outings there are picnic areas with barbeque pits!

Henderson Parks and Rec also has a great Multi-generational center just a few minutes away that's perfect for hosting events, playing a game of pickup basketball, working out at the gym, or going for a swim in the community pool.

While you're at the City of Henderson site, check out some of the other exciting stuff that happens around town.

I've Got Photos!

Just finished setting up a quick photoblog of myself. Please stop on by and see what fun we have here.

Did I mention I'm on a large lot. You really have to see it for yourself, but the photos will give you an idea of the size. You just can find anything like my lot these days unless you're looking to build a custom home.

Let Me Introduce Myself....

Hmmm. Where to start? With an introduction, I suppose. For the last 3 years and 3 months I have been the Frost Residence. They were the first family to occupy my many rooms, I love them and they have loved me, but now they are moving away. So I am on the market with an MLS listing, but that listing is somewhat plain and devoid of many of the things I think are great about myself. So I’ve decided to log on to that internet thing everyone is talking about and start one of those new-fangled weblogs that are all the craze these days. Who knows? I might meet my new family this way. Maybe it’s you!
