Why Summerlin?

Summerlin is carved into the stunning backdrop of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area for a reason: this 200,000-acre, federally protected playground holds international clout and boasts more than 2,000 climbing routes, more than a dozen hiking trails for all levels, and a scenic 13-mile loop which is a hot-spot for cyclists and runners. And located only minutes from The Strip, Summerlin is the ideal place for your choice of living-it-up, connecting with big nature, or staying close to home.

With endless amenities surrounded by unparalleled beauty – exploring your backyard takes on a whole new meaning. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of chiseled mountains and crimson rocks, with a twinkling cityscape to the east and dramatic sunsets to the west, Summerlin is elegantly removed from the city and designed in harmony with the naturally dramatic and elevated topography of the Mohave Desert and the Spring Mountains.

No, really, Summerlin does make business easier for an array of reasons, including Nevada’s outstanding tax climate, a national ranking of #4 when it comes to the least traffic congestion, bike-friendly routes, quality infrastructure, diverse housing options, unrivaled leasing opportunities, and high design standards – to name a few.

This walkable urban core offers numerous lifestyle enhancements. As an office tenant or resident, you are in the center of the most walkable experience in the city with access to professional sports, luxury living, bars, restaurants, retail shops, fitness, concerts at The Lawn, cafes, and chance of bumping into a local celebrity or professional athlete!

Here, the mood-enhancing benefits of endless sunshine are amplified by higher altitude temperatures that are consistently cooler than the rest of the valley.

A world of lifestyle opportunities awaits. Summerlin’s award-winning trail system offers 200+ miles of trails to explore and 30 regional parks with curated spaces, including baseball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming, pickleball, and more.

Years before the first family moved to Summerlin, Howard Hughes demonstrated a legacy of environmental responsibility – a tradition that endures today. Summerlin was the first WaterSmart community, and today, that commitment continues to evolve with the use of native vegetation along many landscaped areas to keep the desert beauty at the forefront with lower water waste. Summerlin is also the first master planned community in Nevada to achieve LEED Precertification from U.S. Green Building Council. For more information on sustainability, please visit the link below.

There’s a vibrant momentum in Summerlin—where connections are made along trails, in neighborhood parks, and at Downtown Summerlin through festivals, markets, and moments shared with neighbors. It’s the kind of lifestyle that draws people in and makes you want to be part of it now, not later.

Summerlin is home to the most educational choices with more than two dozen schools, including ten nationally-recognized private schools, two nationally-ranked public high schools by U.S. News & World Report, fourteen public schools, and several colleges and specialized facilities catering to residents of all ages and interests. Take your education higher while staying close to home with programs such as VEX Robotics at Faith Lutheran Middle & High School, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Palo Verde High School, the expansive undergraduate and graduate-level programs at the Roseman University of Health Science, and UNLV’s Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Law.

Summerlin’s all-star roster of national homebuilders, which has long been a part of the community’s development mantra, ensures that quality, innovation, and progressive home design remain a community hallmark. There are more than 100 new home floorplans now selling!
