Summerlin is a neighborhood in Las Vegas, Nevada with a population of 123,950.
Summerlin is by far one of the best places to live in Las Vegas.
Billionaire Howard Hughes originally purchased the land as a possible site to relocate the Howard Hughes Corporation headquarters from California. The first purchase he made was in 1952. He bought 25,000 acres for $3 per acre. What a bargain!
For 30 years, the relocation plans stalled and nothing happened.
In 1982, the Summa Company announced plans for the development of Summerlin. The first school opened in 1988. The Summerlin Parkway, which provides a grand entrance to the master-planned community finished in 1990.
The first community started with a park, then homes, with the first family to move to Summerlin in 1991. After that, the development continued at a record pace, with houses going up, golf courses built, stores, restaurants, hotel/casinos, more parks, trails, churches, and more schools finished. For ten years, starting in 1997, Summerlin was the number one-selling community for new homes in the United States. It always was in the top twenty-five best selling planned communities in America even after the real estate downturn in 2007.

There is a laid back friendly attitude in Summerlin. No one would consider wearing a suit and tie, even for important business meetings.

It’s different up here, on the hill.
The communities (or villages, as we like to call them), are ideal for young families and working professionals who are seeking modern, energy efficient homes and quiet neighborhoods.
There’s plenty of nice housing for seniors, too, all of which keeps them close to essential services.
With eight elementary schools, three junior high schools and two high schools, there’s plenty of room for new residents and families.
We’re far enough away from the noise, traffic and commotion of the Strip, but close enough to take in all the finest food, attractions and culture that the Strip offers.
