Welcome to Summerlin
Perfectly positioned on the edge of the Spring Mountains and west of the Red Rock Canyon.
Summerlin is the largest master-planned community in Greater Las Vegas, earning accolades as one of the best places to hang your hat in Nevada. It has gotten credit for redefining Las Vegas and making the area an incredible place to live. Residents love the many opportunities for high-end shopping and annual events the community offers; its urban environment influences much of the local lifestyle.
As an added benefit, Summerlin has also been nationally recognized over the last two decades for its award-winning design throughout its seven district villages. They comprise diverse architectural styles; by law, each home must be at least 15% outdoor living space. Residents enjoy courtyards, patios, miradors, etc. Many homes have four-sided designs that integrate a variety of elevations with materials like stone and brick.
The extravagance and exclusivity of the Summerlin villages in the community have attracted many celebrities to its properties, the most recent being the acclaimed actor Mark Wahlberg. And, as the sun shines on the area most of the year, fueling more vibrant events and gatherings, it becomes clear that there is no better community to call home in Nevada.
What to Love
- One of the rare Southern Nevada communities that has its own downtown
- Exclusive access to community facilities, parks, and amenities
- Plenty of open green spaces and parks near each village to gather and plan
Local Lifestyle
The local lifestyle is heavily influenced by the urban environment and enriched with urban amenities that deliver convenient living, unforgettable experiences, and plenty of activities to participate in over the year. And although the community has grown and evolved over the last couple of decades since being built, it has maintained its lively and vibrant ambiance, encouraging community involvement and gatherings while providing plenty of events and entertainment.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Nothing compares to Downtown Summerlin, where modern development meets lifestyle stores, upscale retail, top-notch dining, and much more. Not only is it the only downtown area of any community for miles, but the entire experience is lively, eclectic, and unique. Trendy boutiques include Joeleene and Windsor, but the Las Vegas Ballpark is a great time with friends, family, and baseball.
To explore the natural wonders of nearby landscapes, there’s no better place to be than Red Rock Cayon for rock climbing, hiking, or driving through scenic terrains.
Things to Do
Living up to its status as one of the best places to live in Nevada, Summerlin is known for hosting many events and festivals to keep the community active and engaged. One popular event locals attend regularly is the Las Vegas Farmers Market in Downtown Summerlin. The farmers market provides an array of the freshest vegetables, fruits, and other authentic goods. Vintage Market Days is another local favorite, featuring everything from art, clothing, and seasonal plantings to home decor and outdoor furnishings.
At Trails Park, residents love to attend events like Movie in the Park, where they can watch a movie and enjoy the lovely ambiance of an open and lush green landscape. In the fall, the best thing to do in Summerlin is to attend the Halloween Parade of Mischief every Friday and Saturday of October at Park Centre Drive. The parade is family-friendly, delivering a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience full of dancing performances — featuring zombies, witches, wizards, and more — in the Downtown Summerlin streets.
