Las Vegas apartment complex tenants at The Tides on Wynn are boiling mad, and boiling water. That’s because many of them have gone months without any hot water for cooking, bathing, and cleaning.

Residents Of The Tides On Wynn Apartments Have Good Reason To Be Angry

Just about everyone knows the excitement and anticipation of moving into a new apartment or house. It’s like you’re starting fresh. Everything feels clean and new.

I’m sure that’s how many tenants of The Tides on Wynn apartment complex felt when they moved into their new residences. But now, that excitement and fresh, new, clean feeling has been replaced by feelings of anger and frustration.

According to an article by George Acosta on News3LV.com, these residents have good reason to be angry. That’s because many of them have gone weeks and even months without any hot water.

These angry tenants of The Tides on Wynn have left phone messages, sent emails, written letters, and issued verbal complaints to personnel in the main office of this apartment complex.

Unfortunately, they’ve all been given the run-around by the management of The Tides on Wynn. It’s a terrible situation for these tenants, and they’re very frustrated.

In fact, some of them have withheld their rent payments to try and get FPI Management to respond in earnest. I really don’t blame them. Per Acosta’s article, some are now threatening legal action.

So, many of these tenants have had to resort to boiling water on their stoves in order to take a hot bath or clean dishes. In this day and age, that’s just unacceptable.

The Tides On Wynn Apartments Look Nice So Why Anger Their Tenants?

It’s a question for which a good answer has yet to be provided by FPI Management or their representatives at The Tides on Wynn apartments.

I checked out the website for this complex, which is located at 8600 South Wynn Road between Twain Avenue and Viking Road in the Spring Valley area.

The Tides on Wynn offers some nice amenities for residents. There are three pools, six laundry rooms, free Wi-Fi in common areas, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded lighting, and a play area for the kids.

However, one of the “perks” they boast on the website is “on-site management.” Really? What good is on-site management if they cannot respond in a timely manner to tenants’ valid complaints?

According to the News3LV.com report, their efforts to contact FPI Management or their corporate offices have gone unanswered. That sounds like a familiar response to the tenants of The Tides on Wynn apartments.

Yes! Nevada Is One Of The Top 7 States For New Homes Built

If you have lived in Southern Nevada for any length of time, you know how fast this area has grown over the past three decades. Apparently, we’re still growing yet, as more and more people move here. Therefore, the demand for new houses continues, even after the COVID-19 pandemic slowed growth. Now, in a recent study, we find that Nevada still ranks in the top seven for states with the most new homes built since 2010.

New Homes Built Since 2010: Nevada Ranks In Top 7

The folks at RubyHome Luxury Real Estate recently began digging into the data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Specifically, they are looking at the 2022 American Community Survey for the purposes of this study. In general, the numbers show that there are over 131 million occupied households in the U.S. Of those, more than 15.7 million houses were built since 2010.

Furthermore, those figures identify the fact that close to 12% of all occupied houses in our nation are newly built homes between 2010 and 2022. According to information provided by RubyHome.com, 23 states across the country surpassed that national average of 12% for new-build homes. In fact, some states report that one in five occupied houses have been constructed since 2010.

Which Regions Performed Well; Which Regions Did Not

Overall, southern, and western states seem to enjoy the most newly built homes since 2010. Five of the top 10 states in this study are part of the southwest and mountain west regions. We can safely say that Nevada is part of this region. Moreover, three states in the top 10 are part of the southeast region. One other state is on the mid-Atlantic coast. Finally, there is only one state from the Midwest to make the top 10.

It may be surprising to learn that states with very large populations such as New York, Illinois, and Michigan saw very little new home construction in the period of 2010 to 2022. Furthermore, states in the northeast and New England rank near the bottom in new homes built during this period. As a matter of fact, the New England states of “Rhode Island and Connecticut have the lowest rate of new-build properties in America.”

So, let’s see which states rank in the top seven for new homes built since 2010.

7) Nevada

The "Silver State" ranks seventh in the nation when it comes to new home construction since 2010. According to the figures provided by RubyHome.com200,603 new homes were built in Nevada between 2010-2022. That accounts for over 16% "of the total occupied housing supply statewide."

6) North Carolina

North Carolina ranks sixth in the U.S.A. in this survey of new homes built. Since 2010, over 780,000 new houses have been constructed in that state, accounting for over 18% of the total number of houses in the "Tarheel State."

5) South Carolina

We don't have to go very far from North Carolina to find the state which ranks fifth in this study. South Carolina takes that spot with over 420,000 new homes constructed between 2010-2022. That accounts for 19.75% of the total single-family homes in the "Palmetto State."

4) Idaho

We head back towards our region of the country for the state placing fourth in this survey by RubyHome.comOur neighbors to the north in Idaho have also seen tremendous growth in new home construction over the past decade. Many people from northern California have been moving there. Idahoans have seen over 143,000 new homes built there between 2010-2022. That's over 20% of the total homes in the "Potato State."

We remain in the mountain west region of America for the state placing third in this study. Our eastern neighbors in Utah have seen over 233,000 new homes built since 2010. That accounts for 20.65% of the total single-family homes in the "Beehive State."

2) North Dakota

North Dakota is the only state in the Midwest region of the U.S.A. to make the top 10 in this study according to RubyHome.comPer the information in their study, they fell just short of the top spot for new homes built since 2010 based on percentages. Between 2010-2022, over 68,000 new homes were constructed in the "Peace Garden State." That makes up 20.74% of the total number of homes in North Dakota.

1) Texas

Topping the list in this study is the great state of Texas. As they say, "everything's bigger in Texas," so why wouldn't they take the #1 position? In fact, according to RubyHome.comresidents of the "Lone Star State" "are more likely to live in a new, modern property than any other state across the country." Since 2010, close to 2.5 million new homes were constructed in Texas, making up 22.5% of all homes in the state.
