Northwest Las Vegas is bracing for a massive new neighbor. A sweeping master-planned community called Monument Hills is on the way, promising thousands of homes, new parks and shopping, plus dedicated housing for military families who commute to Nellis and Creech Air Force bases. The City of Las Vegas rolled out the 940-acre vision on its official channels on Feb. 24, 2026, framing the project as a key piece of its broader push to grow attainable housing as the valley keeps filling in.
According to the City of Las Vegas, Monument Hills is planned as a 940-acre mixed-use community that bundles together residential neighborhoods, parks, commercial space and public facilities. City materials say the plan also reserves “approximately 350 housing units specifically for military personnel” to serve families tied to the nearby bases.
What’s In The Plan
Local reporting and council documents describe Monument Hills as a roughly 6,000-unit master plan spread over about 940 acres. The city signed off on a purchase agreement last year to buy federal land from the Bureau of Land Management and then resell it to Monument Hills Partners, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Concept materials and developer presentations outline three village cores, labeled North, Central, and South, surrounded by open-space buffers, trails, schools and a business-park node that is supposed to support jobs and retail, according to NVBEX. The mix of single-family homes, multifamily buildings, and mixed-use pockets is pitched as a way to bake in walkable neighborhoods from day one, rather than bolt them on later.
Tribal And Legal Questions
The project is not sailing through without resistance. The Las Vegas Paiute Tribe has filed an appeal with the Bureau of Land Management seeking to pause the land sale, a step city officials warned could slow the transaction and later entitlements, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Local reporting and presentation materials also indicate the community is planned with large open spaces, parks, and infrastructure set-asides that are intended to lessen impacts and support coordination with tribal and federal partners.
Why It Matters
Monument Hills is arriving at a moment when state and local leaders are loudly talking about attainable and workforce housing. The Lombardo administration recently approved more than $64 million to help kick-start housing projects across Nevada, signaling interest in new tools and financing at multiple levels of government, according to KOLO. If the development is built as advertised, it could take a little heat off Las Vegas’ tight housing market and create a targeted option for service members who now often drive long distances to reach their bases…
