The largest single share, 40%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Douglas County as a whole (31% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Indian Hills are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1995 against 1986.¹ With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.

Housing in Indian Hills is mostly detached single-family: 87% of units, with 1% in buildings of five or more units.¹ A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in Indian Hills: 81% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Nevada share of 60%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Indian Hills is valued at $483,800 (ACS), above the Nevada median of $435,400. Within Douglas County the median is $615,400, so Indian Hills sits below it.¹ Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
