Lone Mountain · Skye Canyon · Providence · Centennial Hills
Newer master-planned communities, mountain views and some of the largest residential homesites in the valley, with value relative to Summerlin.
The northwest
Northwest Las Vegas offers newer master-planned communities, mountain views and some of the largest residential homesites in the valley. It suits buyers who want land, a suburban setting and value relative to Summerlin while staying connected to the rest of the valley.
It sits higher than most of the valley, which means measurably cooler summer evenings and occasional winter snow on the surrounding peaks. Mount Charleston and the outdoor recreation to the north are close, and the character is more suburban and residential than Summerlin or Henderson.
The communities
Three distinct settings, from acre-plus parcels with room to build to newer master-planned villages.
Acre-plus · Horse property · Custom homes
Known for larger homesites, including acre-plus and horse-friendly properties, along with custom homes on individual lots. For buyers who want space and the ability to build rather than a master-planned setting, this is the strongest area in the valley.
New construction · Community park · Higher elevation
A newer master-planned community in the far northwest with active new construction, a substantial community park and fitness facility, and a higher elevation that brings noticeably cooler temperatures than the valley floor.
Gated sections · Mountain views
Established newer communities with a mix of gated sections, production and semi-custom homes, mountain views and convenient retail along the northwest corridor.
Before you buy
The main trade-off is distance. Commutes to the Strip, the airport and the southern valley are longer from the northwest than from the other areas covered here. In exchange, buyers typically get more land and newer construction for the money.
