(Community No. 12) — Southwest Las Vegas, Nevada
Mountains Edge,
outdoors first.
The southwest's
backbone.
Mountains Edge spreads 3,500 acres across the southwest valley beneath Exploration Peak — a master plan that put its budget into parks and trails first and let the villages grow around them.
Parks first,
villages after.
Mountains Edge planned its open space before its rooftops — Exploration Peak Park's 80 acres, the ridge trails behind it, and a paseo network that threads every village. Two decades on, it reads as the southwest's most complete family community.
Housing is squarely mainstream: production homes from the high $300s to the $700s, a handful of gated pockets, and lot premiums that follow the views toward the peak. It consistently ranks among the country's best-selling master plans — volume that keeps the resale market liquid.
The Scofield Group works Mountains Edge weekly. We know which villages back to the open desert, where the next retail pad is going, and which streets catch dust off the trailhead lots.

Exploration Peak
An 80-acre park around a 2,846-ft cone — summit trail, themed playgrounds, and the southwest's best sunset walk.
Trail-laced villages
Paseos connect nearly every street to a park without crossing an arterial.
Best-seller volume
Top-selling master-plan rankings year after year — deep, liquid resale inventory.
Red Rock at the shoulder
SR-160 puts the canyon and Mountain Springs twenty minutes away.
Family math
Full-size newer homes at price points Summerlin left behind a decade ago.
Growing services
New schools, retail, and the 215 corridor keep amenities tracking rooftops.
