There’s something about Summerlin that keeps drawing families back, year after year. It’s not just the expansive desert views or the proximity to Red Rock Canyon. It’s the way everything seems intentionally built for family life – wide streets lined with trees, parks around every corner, top schools just minutes from home.

A Master Planned Community Built for the Long Haul
Summerlin earned the #5 spot with new home sales of 1,055 on the 2024 list of the country’s top-selling master planned communities, according to RCLCO, a national real estate consultant.

Spanning 22,500 acres, Summerlin continues to be one of the most sought-after and best-selling communities in the country, offering over 127,000 residents unparalleled access to nature and expansive commercial amenities in a business-friendly environment. The sheer scale is remarkable, yet somehow the place never feels impersonal.
Parks and Trails Everywhere You Turn
Here’s where things get interesting. These include more than 300 neighborhood and village parks, more than 200 completed miles of trails, 26 public and private schools, 14 houses of worship, ten golf courses, shopping centers, medical and cultural facilities, business parks and dozens of actively selling floor plans. Let’s be real – when a community has over 300 parks, that’s not just a selling point, it’s a lifestyle…
