Summerlin Homes for Sale Las Vegas
Summerlin is the master plan against which other Las Vegas master plans are measured. Howard Hughes acquired the 22,500-acre parcel on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley in the 1950s, originally as a private airport site. The Howard Hughes Corporation broke ground on the residential development in 1990 and the build-out has continued for more than 35 years across approximately 30 villages. The community spans the western valley from Summerlin North through Summerlin South and into the newer Summerlin West, with Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area as the western backdrop and 250-plus miles of paved interconnected trails threading through the residential villages out to multiple Red Rock connection points. The most prominent villages include The Ridges (the flagship guard-gated community), Red Rock Country Club (adjacent rather than technically part of Summerlin, with two Arnold Palmer courses), The Summit Club (the ultra-private community inside The Ridges), Siena (55-and-up guard-gated), Sun City Summerlin (Del Webb's first Las Vegas community at the western edge), and the established South Square villages including The Mesa, The Willows, The Gardens, and Ridgebrook. Downtown Summerlin (a 400-acre mixed-use district with 125-plus shops and restaurants, Las Vegas Ballpark for the Triple-A Aviators, and City National Arena where the Vegas Golden Knights practice) anchors the central Summerlin retail and entertainment infrastructure.

About Summerlin
Summerlin spans 22,500 acres along the western edge of the Las Vegas valley, making it one of the largest master-planned communities in the United States. Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, the community stretches from the base of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area eastward toward the 215 Beltway. Development began in the early 1990s and continues today, with new villages and neighborhoods still being added in the western sections.
The master plan is organized into more than 26 distinct villages, each with its own character, builder mix, and price range. Villages range from the established, tree-lined streets of Summerlin North near Alta Drive to the newly built neighborhoods of Summerlin West backing directly up to Red Rock Canyon. This structure gives Summerlin the broadest range of housing options of any single community in the Las Vegas valley.
Summerlin Villages
The Ridges is Summerlin's most exclusive enclave, a guard-gated community of custom and semi-custom estates perched on elevated terrain with panoramic views of the valley and the Spring Mountains. Tournament Hills surrounds the TPC Las Vegas golf course and features large single-family homes in a guard-gated setting favored by families and golf-oriented buyers.
The Paseos is one of Summerlin's largest villages, offering a wide range of housing types from attached homes to larger single-family residences, with extensive parks, trails, and community gathering spaces. Summerlin West includes newer villages like Redpoint, Stonebridge, and Kestrel, where construction is ongoing and many homes back directly to open desert and conservation land. Summerlin South encompasses established villages near Red Rock Country Club, while Summerlin North offers mature neighborhoods with lower price points and proximity to downtown Las Vegas.
Homes and Pricing
Home prices in Summerlin span from the mid $400,000s for condos and smaller attached homes in the northern villages to over $29 million for custom estates in The Ridges. The majority of single-family homes fall between $500,000 and $1.5 million, though guard-gated communities like Tournament Hills, Red Rock Country Club, and The Ridges push well above that range.
Housing types include condominiums, townhomes, patio homes, single-family residences on standard and oversized lots, and fully custom estates. New construction remains available in Summerlin West from several national and regional builders, while resale inventory is consistently available throughout the established villages.

What is the Summerlin trail system?
The Summerlin master plan includes approximately 250 miles of paved interconnected trails, connecting residential villages to parks, schools, retail districts, and multiple connection points into Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The trail system was a foundational element of the master plan from the start and is one of the structural reasons Summerlin maintains higher walkability scores than most Las Vegas Valley communities. The Calico Basin and Cottonwood Valley trail entry points into Red Rock are most accessible from the western Summerlin villages.
What golf courses are in Summerlin?
Multiple championship and resident-owned courses sit inside or adjacent to Summerlin. Inside Sun City Summerlin, three resident-owned courses (Palm Valley, Highland Falls, Eagle Crest, all designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash). TPC Summerlin (the private course that hosts the PGA Tour's Shriners Children's Open every fall). TPC Las Vegas (open to the public, formerly known as TPC at The Canyons). Bear's Best, the Jack Nicklaus design that recreated 18 of his favorite holes from courses around the world (currently undergoing rebrand to Amara under new ownership). Red Rock Country Club's two Arnold Palmer courses (the public Arroyo and the private Mountain). Inside The Summit Club, a private Tom Fazio-designed course members-only. That gives Summerlin among the deepest golf inventories of any master plan in the country.
What are home prices like in Summerlin?
The price spread across Summerlin is enormous because of the village structure. Active listings typically run from the low $300,000s for the smaller condominium and townhome floor plans in the established villages up past $30M for the largest custom estates inside The Summit Club. Mainstream single-family inventory across the bulk of the master plan typically runs between the high $500,000s and the low $1.5Ms. The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, and The Summit Club anchor the upper end. Sun City Summerlin and the older established villages anchor the more accessible end. Buyers focused on Summerlin should think in terms of village first and ZIP second, because the variation between villages is significant.
