Sinking North Las Vegas neighborhood relocates 90 residents

The Windsor Park neighborhood in North Las Vegas is sinking. And it’s been sinking for decades.

Windsor Park is near Martin Luther King Blvd and Carey Ave was built between 1964 and 1966, a historically Black neighborhood. Homes were constructed over fault lines and aquifers. As groundwater was pulled year after year, foundations began crumbling and homes began sinking.

Over the years, some have been relocated through federal funds and their homes were demolished. Today, empty lots scatter Windsor Park. Old foundations can be seen along the noticeably bumpy streets and cracked sidewalks.

“The ground cracking, leaning, the house is sinking,” said Webster Davis, who’s lived in Windsor Park since 1980. “You can lay a can on the floor and just go to rolling. All depends on which way your house is leaning.”
