Carved into the eastern foothills of Red Rock Canyon, Summerlin is the benchmark every other modern master plan tries to match. Year after year the community tops national “best-of” lists for design, amenities and long-term value, thanks to meticulous planning that began in the late 1980s and now spans three distinct master HOAs—Summerlin North, Summerlin South and the brand-new Summerlin West. As each phase pushed farther up the desert slope, the blend of architecture, green space and lifestyle amenities deepened. Today Summerlin counts 300+ parks, 200+ miles of trails, 30+ public and private schools, 14 houses of worship and 10 golf courses—all wrapped by the 215 Beltway for quick access to the entire valley.
A Community in Three Acts
• Summerlin North (est. early 1990s) – tree-lined parkways, mature villages like The Trails and The Vineyards, and TPC Summerlin’s championship fairways.
• Summerlin South (mid-2000s) – luxury guard-gated enclaves such as Red Rock Country Club, The Ridges and ultra-exclusive The Summit share canyon views with family-friendly pockets like The Gardens and Mesa villages.
• Summerlin West (current expansion) – the newest frontier rising north of West Charleston; early villages Stonebridge and Redpoint showcase desert-contemporary designs, while Ascension (with golf partner Summit Club) hints at another tier of luxury still to come.
Growth continues to march west toward the mountains, ensuring fresh inventory, new parks and cutting-edge school campuses for the next decade.
