Waterfront living • 300-acre master plan with spring-fed lake network • built mid-1980s – late-1990s

Just south of Desert Inn Road and a stone’s throw from Summerlin, The Lakes delivers breezy, palm-lined shoreline living without Summerlin’s premium price tag. Developed several years before its famous neighbour, the community wraps tranquil Lake Sahara and a web of greenbelts that weave through mature landscaping and generously sized lots. Housing spans tidy patio homes and town-homes in the mid-$400 Ks, mid-size single-stories around the low-$600 Ks, and custom lakefront estates with private docks that climb past $1 million. Strict architectural guidelines maintain harmony while 30-plus years of shade trees lend a lived-in elegance newer areas can’t yet match.

Community Highlights

Waterfront lifestyle – kayak sunrises, paddle-boat afternoons and catch-and-release fishing right from the dock.
Gated enclaves – Regatta, Lakes Estates and South Shore offer extra privacy and curated streetscapes.
Lakefront promenade – two-mile walking path lined with fountains, pocket parks and evening lights.
Quick connections – five minutes to Downtown Summerlin shopping and Red Rock Casino; ten to the 215 Beltway.
