(Community No. 27) — Summerlin, Las Vegas
Sun City Summerlin,
the flagship.
The 55+
standard.
On Summerlin's northern rim with the whole valley below, Sun City Summerlin is Nevada's largest active-adult community — 7,800 single-story homes around four recreation centers, three golf courses, and a calendar that never sits down.
Del Webb's
masterwork.
Del Webb built Sun City Summerlin between 1989 and 2002 as the flagship of the brand — and three decades on it still sets the active-adult standard: four rec centers, three courses, dozens of clubs, and 7,800 single-story homes on the coolest rim of the valley.
The resale market runs deep and specific: garden units from the $400s, golf-frontage and view homes through $900K+, every one single-story, and floor plans buyers ask for by name. Highland Falls' fairways and the north-rim view streets carry the premiums.
The Scofield Group's Sun City specialists know the plan names, the club rhythms, and the seasonal cycles — including how snowbird season moves inventory every spring.
