Uptown condo project in North Las Vegas.

Condominium buildings are sprouting up like mushrooms after a rain on the south Strip and in the western and southern parts of the valley. Now North Las Vegas is getting in on the hot trend. The Uptown development will have 168 units in six three-story buildings, first of which is completed and residents are moving in. Here's the deal. Since we're talking about North Las Vegas, prices are affordable. They start at $258,000 for a two-bedroom condominium and go up to $294,000 for three bedrooms.
