(Community No. 01) — Las Vegas, Nevada
Summerlin,
from above.
The western rim
of the valley.
Summerlin runs along the western edge of the Las Vegas valley, pressed against the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is the highest, coolest, and most master-planned ground in the metro — and consistently its strongest residential market.
The master plan,
mastered.
Summerlin is what every "master-planned community" aspires to be. Conceived by Howard Hughes and built out across 22,500 acres since 1990, it stair-steps up the western rim of the valley in more than thirty villages — each with its own parks, schools, and centers, all stitched together by one of the largest trail networks in the American West.
The range here is wider than newcomers expect. Sun City Summerlin offers single-story 55+ living from the $400s; The Vistas and The Paseos carry the family core of the market; and at the top, the guard gates of The Ridges open onto modern estates overlooking Red Rock Canyon that trade north of $10 million. Higher elevation means real seasons by Vegas standards — typically a few degrees cooler than the Strip on a summer afternoon.
The Scofield Group has been selling Summerlin since the team's first year in business. We know which villages back to open desert, which streets catch the canyon view, and which HOAs are worth every dollar — and we'll tell you plainly which aren't.

Red Rock at the back door
The conservation area's sandstone escarpment is Summerlin's western wall — 13-mile scenic drive, world-class climbing, and trailheads minutes from most villages.
150+ miles of trails
The valley's best trail network links 250+ parks, village centers, and schools. Most of daily life here is reachable without an arterial road.
Downtown Summerlin
Open-air shopping and dining anchored by Las Vegas Ballpark and City National Arena — where the Golden Knights practice and the Aviators play.
Tournament golf
TPC Summerlin hosts the PGA Tour's Shriners Children's Open each fall; Red Rock Country Club and Bear's Best round out the private and daily-fee options.
A school cluster that draws buyers
Sought-after CCSD zones plus The Meadows School and Faith Lutheran on the private side — school quality is a primary driver of Summerlin demand.
Elevation & air
At 3,000–3,600 feet, Summerlin runs measurably cooler than the valley floor — summer evenings on a west-facing patio are the community's quiet luxury.
