Summerlin is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the state of Nevada, and for plenty of good reasons. It is the largest master-planned community and is along the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley in the shadow of the Spring Mountain Range and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
This 22,500-square-foot, multi-generational community is alive with more than 250 parks, 150 miles of trails, 10 golf courses, more than two dozen public and private schools, 14 houses of worship, three resort hotels, world-class recreational facilities, retail and entertainment centers, well-established office parks, a state-of-the-art medical center, and its very own city center.

Exceptional Quality of Life – There are also five 55+ Active Adult Retirement Communities in Summerlin
Strong real estate values – Homes tend to uphold their values more so in Summerlin, compared to anywhere else in the valley.
In all honesty it was very hard to find the cons for living in Summerlin. The major con for me, is that the homes in Summerlin tend to be much more expensive than the rest of the Las Vegas Valley. They don’t say location, location, location for a reason.
Living in Summerlin is a great place for families, retirees, and professionals alike.
