Welcome to

Centennial Hills

Northwest valley • ±65,000 residents • ±22,000 housing units • median build-year 1998

Centennial Hills stretches from U.S. 95 west to the 215 Beltway at the base of the Sheep and Spring Mountains—about fifteen miles northwest of the Strip. Inside this twelve-square-mile “city within a city,” modern master-planned villages sit beside half-acre ranch properties and brand-new hillside estates, all at price points still below neighboring Summerlin. Condos and townhomes begin in the mid-$300 Ks, most three- and four-bedroom single-family homes run from the mid-$400 Ks to the high-$700 Ks, and guard-gated golf homes or custom builds in Skye Canyon, Painted Desert and Tule Springs often clear the million-dollar mark.
