⚖️  Which Is Nicer, Summerlin Or Henderson?

Neither Summerlin nor Henderson is nicer. They are both fabulous communities. The difference is size. Summerlin is not a city. It is a master-planned community with 22,500 acres along the entire west side of the Las Vegas Valley. It uses the City of Las Vegas and Clark County services.

Henderson is a city. It has politicians, a courthouse, a fire department, and police. There are many side-by-side master-planned communities in Henderson, but not one close in size to Summerlin. We live in Summerlin because of location; it’s an equal distance to Henderson and North Las Vegas. And it’s cooler than Henderson during the summer. What do you want to live near? Let us give you an area tour. Contact our office at 702-750-7599.

🏞️  What Is The Best Part Of Summerlin To Live In?

I consider the best part of Summerlin to live in to be the Summerlin Hills or Summerlin West.  I think they are the best part of Summerlin for two reasons. The hills in the west are shaded first during the summer months. Views of the city and mountains. The last 5-10 years opened up unobstructed views of the Las Vegas skyline and lights. We had a view over rooftops in Summerlin South at a lower elevation in Summerlin. If you can afford the hills, consider Summerlin West.

🏠  Is It Better To Rent Or Buy In Summerlin?

Compare payments to see if it’s better for you to rent or buy in Summerlin. For homes under $700,000, check to see if you qualify for Nevada’s Home is Possible program. Their program can provide a free 2-5% down payment. It is a 0% loan with no monthly payments, but you pay it back when sold or refinance so the next person can use it.

Rent can be quite high, especially for furnished upscale homes. We don’t see prices depreciating in the newer homes. Older homes can be purchased for less and may need work. You’ve seen the shows; you can make money fixing up and remodeling homes.

🏘️  New Homes For Sale In Summerlin Las Vegas

An important thing to remember when looking at new homes for sale in Summerlin is that the base price, or the lowest advertised price, of a home is not going to be the finished price in a vast majority of cases. We always suggest adding 20% to the price to get the finished price. It can certainly be higher than that, especially if you look at premium view lots.

The highest priced new construction production home is the Sky Edge model at Ascension by Toll Brothers at $2,249,995. The least expensive new construction home in Summerlin is the 1430 model at Caldwell Park by KB Home priced at $417,990. Keep in mind that Toll Brothers expects home buyers to upgrade many things, and KB Home charges for everything, including medicine cabinets, two sinks, and 9’ ceilings instead of 8’.  There are building lots available for custom homes.

⛲️  Is Summerlin A Wealthy Area?

Summerlin is a wealthy area in Las Vegas. This week I parked by a Bentley SUV (I didn’t know they existed) at the grocery store and a Lamborghini SUV at the Cheesecake Factory. It is common to drive past head-turning cars. Summerlin is a wealthy and middle-class area. Our daughter went to college in Reno and called the first week, surprised that her friends don’t have passports. In general, I’d say it’s an upscale area.

📍  Is Summerlin, Las Vegas A Good Place To Live?

The crime is low in the area compared to other areas. Schools are newer and built safer. Parks, recreation, and community features are top-notch, with hundreds of miles of walking trails to explore. It has most denominations of worship, and a ballet theatre. There are community events and parades, and the library system ranks in the top 10% nationwide.

🏡  Summerlin South Homes For Sale

Because Summerlin expanded systematically, it took over 20 years to complete Summerlin South. There are larger and smaller homes, guard-gated custom homes, and gated and non-gated neighborhoods. What they have in common is that the neighborhoods and villages are nice. When Summerlin South reached the southernmost part, the architecture became more modern, and they sold out quickly.

Toll Brothers built a guard-gated retirement community, Regency, with no golf course that we will live in one day. The Siena active-adult 55+  development is also in Summerlin South and has a guard-gated entrance and golf course. Because the water park and aquatic center are nearby, there are many family-sized properties in the area.

The Howard Hughes Corp. Golden Plan

Del Webb Sun City homes for sale in Summerlin started in 1988. As Sun City was selling homes in its own Village, Howard Hughes Corporation continued moving dirt. After the Sun City Village in Summerlin,  The Hills Village was where the first non-age-restricted homes were released.

1990 marked the completion of the Summerlin Parkway, and finally, in 1991, the first family called Summerlin home. HHC also built the Meadows School and donated it as Summerlin’s first school- it was private. The Clark County School District was a little slower.

To give Howard Hughes Corp credit, every time a Clark County Public School opened, they were fully supplied with items that other schools had to fundraise for. Schools were given AV equipment, TV’s, band uniforms, PE and sports equipment, science supplies, computers, and iPads. Auditoriums were provided with stages and theater lighting. Tables and folding chairs. Schools were very nice!

To navigate and identify the different areas of Summerlin, each land release is called a Village. Each Village is master-planned and has a design criteria theme and color scheme that the builders must adhere to. Custom homes undergo a review to ensure the home and landscaping meet requirements. Pollen plants are not allowed.

Howard Hughes Corporation takes on the development of a large sports park featuring a designated sport. They build and landscape walking paths connecting neighborhoods. Then turn every park over to the City or County to maintain. Land is set aside for future commercial development, and the remaining land is sold to builders with predetermined home sizes and design criteria.

Designing A Master Planned Community

During village planning, the location of schools and emergency services goes into the plan first. Then commercial development and retail centers are placed. The remaining land is divided up and sold to developers. Most communities have all housing sizes from apartments to condos to houses to custom homes.

Summerlin’s active outdoor lifestyle is extensive and diversified. There are now over 250 parks, many of which connect to over 150 miles of bicycle and walking trails. There is an aquatics center and multiple community centers, many with pools.

Maximum safety and convenience are the foremost criteria when designing roads. Traffic circles are used to minimize speed, and 2 wide, well-lit and beautiful freeways provide quick ingress and egress.

Summerlin’s Shopping and More

All varieties of shopping centers combine with the Downtown Summerlin Mall to make every type of retail conveniently available. There are multiple medical and cultural facilities, business parks, and award-winning, state-of-the-art libraries within Summerlin.

Currently, there are 3 luxury hotel and casino properties located within Summerlin’s boundaries. Living within Summerlin gives residents a well-rounded community surrounding their home.

The master-planned community borders busy Las Vegas streets, expanding nearby commercial businesses. Conveniently located shopping centers are also just outside Summerlin. Franchise businesses, large department stores, and boutique stores are just “across the street.” If you want anything, it’s close by.

Restaurants with every variety of food and price point are within 10 minutes of Summerlin. The Las Vegas Strip is 15 minutes away with a restaurant for every palette. Grocery stores are abundant with fruit and food from around the world. Our rule of thumb is that if you want it, you can probably find it within 5 miles.

BLM Land Exchanges For Views

The first area of land to be developed was The Hills Village in Summerlin North. Sales in all of the Villages – Sun City, The Hills, The Paseos, and The Trails were booming. The Howard Hughes Corporation proposed a land exchange to the BLM.

They eventually traded 5000 acres of beautiful red rocks to the BLM, expanding the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. In return, BLM gave them 5000 acres with views in the south part of town. This exchange is now The Cliffs Village in Summerlin South.

Years later, another exchange was proposed, resulting in the Summerlin Village Reverence breaking ground in 2019. New construction homes for sale in Reverence are among the finest homes ever built by National builders in Northwest Las Vegas.

There is a very elaborate community center with the finest amenities possible. Every home is energy efficient and smart, and many have views. If you’ve been thinking about Reverence, let me show it to you.
