ABOUT SUNRISE MANOR...

In the Las Vegas metropolitan area, there are important distinctions between incorporated cities and unincorporated townships. Incorporated cities like Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas have their own local governments, police departments, and municipal services. Unincorporated townships, including Sunrise Manor, are governed by Clark County rather than having their own municipal governments. 

This distinction explains why mail addressed to Sunrise Manor residents typically shows "Las Vegas, NV" rather than "Sunrise Manor, NV" as the city. The United States Postal Service recognizes Las Vegas as the primary municipality for addressing purposes, even though residents may identify as living in Sunrise Manor. This can sometimes create confusion for newcomers to the area who may not realize they technically reside in an unincorporated township rather than the City of Las Vegas proper.

History and Geographic Information

Sunrise Manor was established in 1957 and is situated on the eastern edge of the Las Vegas Valley, directly at the base of Frenchman Mountain. It was originally developed to accommodate residential expansion away from the central Las Vegas area. Today, Sunrise Manor spans approximately 33 square miles and is bordered by North Las Vegas to the northwest, Whitney to the south, and the City of Las Vegas to the west.

Property Types and Development

Sunrise Manor features predominantly older housing stock compared to newer developments in other parts of the Las Vegas Valley. Housing options include:

• Some newer tract home developments in the northeastern sections
