Summerlin Nevada Communities
My office is in Summerlin and I absolutely love the community for many reasons but three of them are: the lush desert landscaping throughout (yes there is such a thing), the incredible views of Red Rock Canyon from almost every major boulevard, and the fabulous neighborhood parks and amenities. Because of this attention to detail, Summerlin is one of the most successful master planned communities in the nation.
Originally acquired by Howard Hughes in 1952, Summerlin encompasses 35 square miles of land along the western rim of Las Vegas and was named after the billionaire’s grandmother, Jean Amelia Summerlin. It began construction in the late 1980’s and is currently home to over 130,000 residents in 30 “villages” and several 55+ retirement communities including Heritage at Stonebridge, Trilogy, Regency, Siena and the massive Sun City Summerlin!
Summerlin is still building new villages with a variety of residences from condos/townhomes to smaller single family to custom homes with incredible views of the valley! The majority of the new construction is in Summerlin West with a smaller amount in Summerlin South.
Summerlin abounds with amenities featuring over 300 neighborhood and community parks, an incredible 150 mile trail system, sports fields, nine golf courses, tennis courts, natural open areas, three world class resorts and the Summerlin Hospital. Families love Summerlin’s extensive educational choices with more than two dozen schools, including the city’s finest private schools and top-ranked public schools. The addition of Downtown Summerlin completes this very desirable community featuring major fashion, dining, and entertainment options plus the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, Lifetime Fitness, the Vegas Golden Knights NHL practice facility, City National Arena, and the Las Vegas Ball Park home to the Las Vegas Aviators triple A team!
Summerlin is such a large area that it is separated into three different HOA associations: Summerlin North, Summerlin West and Summerlin South.

Summerlin North is where it all began in the late 1980’s. I remember when it was being built and how Las Vegas had never seen a master planned community of this scale before. Summerlin North has the most established and mature villages which include condo communities, townhomes and single family homes some located in beautiful gated neighborhoods. The Tournament Players Club (TPC) is one of the most prestigious golf courses in Las Vegas and hosts the annual PGA Shriners Open tournament every October. Summerlin North also is the hub for the arts and is home to the Nevada Ballet Theater and Academy and the Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Theater.
The villages of Summerlin North include The Arbors, The Canyons, The Crossing, The Hills, The Hills South, The Pueblo, Reverence and The Trails. Reverence is the newest village in Summerlin North located against the foothills of the Spring Mountains on the west side of the 215. Sun City Summerlin is also located here which at 2400 acres and 7779 homes, makes it the largest retirement community in the state of Nevada. There is excellent shopping nearby in Tivoli, Boca Park, The Village Center, and of course, Costco!
