Summerlin's median single-family home price reached $682,000 in Q1 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS data — 45% above the Las Vegas Valley median of $470,000. Inventory sits at 1.6 months of supply, well below the 6-month balanced market threshold, with homes in The Ridges, Stonebridge, and Reverence averaging 28 days on market. This guide breaks down pricing by village, appreciation trends, and what the data means for every buyer profile.

What Is Driving Summerlin's Price Premium in 2026?
Summerlin's 45% premium over the Las Vegas Valley average isn't random — it's the result of structural factors that have compounded over three decades of development by the Howard Hughes Corporation.
The 22,500-acre master plan is approaching build-out, with only Summerlin West (Stonebridge, Redpoint, Kestrel, Reverence) still offering significant new construction inventory. Per Clark County permit data, new home starts in Summerlin dropped 18% from 2024 to 2025 as available lots diminish. When supply contracts in a market with sustained demand, prices respond.
Three demand drivers are working simultaneously. First, California relocators continue to arrive at a pace of approximately 40,000 per year to the Las Vegas metro per U.S. Census Bureau 2024 ACS migration data — and Summerlin's master-planned aesthetic, mountain views, and top-tier schools make it the default first stop for families relocating from Orange County, San Diego, and the Bay Area.
Second, remote work adoption has made Summerlin's residential infrastructure more valuable. Per BLS data, approximately 22% of Summerlin-area households have at least one fully remote worker — higher than the Clark County average of 18%. Remote workers prioritize home office space, community amenities, and outdoor access — exactly what Summerlin delivers.
Third, Summerlin's 10-minute proximity to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (200,000 acres) per Clark County traffic data creates a lifestyle premium that no other Las Vegas community can replicate. This isn't a marketing claim — it's a geographic monopoly.
How Do Prices Vary Across Summerlin's 20+ Villages?
The $682,000 median masks enormous variation. A buyer's experience in Summerlin depends entirely on which village they target.
| Village | Median Price (Q1 2026) | Type | Best For | |---|---|---|---| | The Summit Club | $8,500,000+ | Ultra-luxury, guard-gated | Ultra-high-net-worth | | The Ridges | $3,200,000 | Guard-gated luxury | Luxury buyers, $2M+ | | The Peaks | $1,800,000 | Guard-gated | Move-up luxury | | Red Rock Country Club | $1,400,000 | Guard-gated, golf | Golf lifestyle | | Reverence | $850,000 | Semi-custom, newer | Move-up families | | Stonebridge | $750,000 | New construction | Families, new builds | | The Paseos | $680,000 | Established family | Families with kids | | The Trails | $620,000 | Established, schools | School-focused families | | The Willows | $580,000 | Established | Value in Summerlin | | The Arbors | $550,000 | Established | Entry-level Summerlin | | Sun City Summerlin | $450,000 | 55+ active adult | Retirees |

The entry point to Summerlin is approximately $400,000 for a 1,400-square-foot townhome or older single-family home in the eastern villages (The Arbors, The Willows, The Gardens). The ceiling exceeds $30 million in The Summit Club. That 75x price spread within a single master plan is unique in the American West.
How Does Summerlin's Appreciation Compare to Henderson and North Las Vegas?
Appreciation rates tell the investment story:
| Market | 2026 Median | YoY Appreciation | 5-Year Total | 10-Year Total | |---|---|---|---|---| | Summerlin | $682,000 | +3.9% | +28% | +61% | | Henderson | $470,000 | +4.2% | +32% | +65% | | North Las Vegas | $385,000 | +5.8% | +41% | +78% | | Las Vegas (overall) | $470,000 | +4.0% | +30% | +63% | | National median | $412,000 | +3.1% | +22% | +75% |
Source: Las Vegas REALTORS, GLVAR, NAR, Federal Reserve
Summerlin's 3.9% YoY appreciation is solid but trails Henderson (4.2%) and North Las Vegas (5.8%). This is typical of mature, higher-priced markets — percentage gains compress as the base price increases. In absolute dollar terms, Summerlin's 3.9% on a $682,000 base generates approximately $26,600 in annual equity gain — more than North Las Vegas's 5.8% on a $385,000 base ($22,300).
For investors focused on percentage returns, North Las Vegas and Henderson offer more upside. For wealth preservation and lifestyle, Summerlin's structural demand floor provides lower volatility per Federal Reserve housing risk data.
What Does Summerlin Inventory Look Like Right Now?
Inventory is the critical constraint in Summerlin's 2026 market.
Per GLVAR Q1 2026 data, Summerlin has approximately 1.6 months of single-family inventory — meaning at the current sales pace, all available homes would sell in 48 days if no new listings appeared. For context, a balanced market is 6 months. Henderson sits at 2.1 months and North Las Vegas at 2.8 months.
The tightest inventory is in the $600K-$900K range — Summerlin's family sweet spot (Stonebridge, The Paseos, Reverence). Per Las Vegas REALTORS data, homes in this range average 22 days on market and receive an average of 2.3 offers.
Above $1.5M, inventory loosens to approximately 4.2 months per GLVAR luxury segment data. Luxury buyers have more negotiating leverage and can expect fewer competing offers. Below $500K, inventory is essentially non-existent in Summerlin — only Sun City Summerlin resales and the oldest townhome stock trade at that level.
Which Summerlin Villages Have the Most New Construction?
For buyers who want to build or buy new, only Summerlin's western villages have active construction:
Stonebridge — The most active construction zone in Summerlin. Toll Brothers, Taylor Morrison, Lennar, and Shea Homes are building across multiple neighborhoods. Floor plans range from 2,000 to 4,500+ square feet at $650,000-$1,100,000. Heritage at Stonebridge (Toll Brothers) offers a 55+ guard-gated option at $550K-$850K.
Redpoint & Kestrel — Adjacent newer villages with Toll Brothers and Taylor Morrison communities. Pricing runs $550K-$900K for 1,800-3,500 square feet. These villages are still developing parks, trails, and retail — so early buyers get lower pricing but less immediate infrastructure.
Reverence — Pulte Homes' semi-custom community at Summerlin's highest elevation (3,200+ feet). Pricing starts at $750K for production homes and exceeds $1.5M for custom lots. The mountain views from Reverence are among the best in the entire Las Vegas Valley.
Per Clark County building permit data, approximately 380 new home permits were issued in Summerlin in 2025 — down from 460 in 2024. That declining trajectory means new construction will become scarcer and likely more expensive each year as remaining lots are absorbed.
How Do Schools Compare Across Summerlin Villages?
School quality is a primary driver for family buyers in Summerlin, and the data supports the premium.
Per CCSD and GreatSchools ratings:
- Sig Rogich Middle School — 10/10, serves The Trails and surrounding villages. The highest-rated middle school in the Las Vegas Valley.
- Palo Verde High School — 8/10, serves most of central Summerlin
- Bonner Elementary — 9/10, near The Willows
- John C. Vanderburg Elementary — 8/10, The Arbors area
- Doral Academy Red Rock — 9/10, tuition-free charter serving west Summerlin
Private options within Summerlin or nearby include The Meadows School (A+, PreK-12), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), and Alexander Dawson School (A+) — all within 15 minutes of most Summerlin neighborhoods per Clark County traffic data.
For families where schools are the deciding factor, The Trails village (Sig Rogich Middle 10/10) commands a measurable premium — approximately 5-8% above comparable homes in villages with lower-rated school zones per Las Vegas REALTORS comp analysis.
What Are Summerlin HOA Fees and How Are They Structured?
Summerlin's HOA structure has three tiers, and buyers need to understand all of them:
Tier 1 — Summerlin Council: $50-$95/month. Managed by the Howard Hughes Corporation, covers community-wide standards, common areas, and trail maintenance. Every Summerlin homeowner pays this.
Tier 2 — Village HOA: $80-$300/month. Each village (The Paseos, Stonebridge, etc.) has its own association covering village parks, entry monuments, and neighborhood landscaping.
Tier 3 — Sub-neighborhood (if applicable): $0-$400/month. Guard-gated communities (The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club) add security, gate staffing, and private amenities.
Combined monthly fees range from $130 for basic village homes to $795+ for guard-gated luxury per GLVAR disclosure data. Transfer fees at closing run $400-$750 due to the Summerlin Council's additional assessment per Howard Hughes Corporation policy.
How Does Summerlin Compare to Henderson for Buyers in 2026?
This is the comparison I hear most from relocating families. Both are premium markets, but they serve different priorities.
| Factor | Summerlin | Henderson | |---|---|---| | Median price | $682,000 | $470,000 | | Safety | LVMPD (Clark County) | Own city police (top 10 nationally) | | Schools (top middle) | Sig Rogich 10/10 | Del E. Webb 8/10 | | Outdoor access | Red Rock Canyon (10 min) | Lake Las Vegas, Sloan Canyon | | New construction | Stonebridge, Redpoint | Inspirada, Cadence | | 55+ communities | Sun City Summerlin (7,779 homes) | Sun City Anthem (7,219 homes) | | Airport distance | 25-35 min | 12-18 min | | Guard-gated options | Summit Club, Ridges, RRCC | MacDonald Highlands, Ascaya |
Henderson wins on safety (dedicated police), affordability (23% lower median), and airport proximity. Summerlin wins on schools (Sig Rogich 10/10), outdoor access (Red Rock), retail (Downtown Summerlin), and ultra-luxury ceiling (Summit Club $30M+).

What Should Buyers Know About Summerlin Property Taxes?
Summerlin sits in unincorporated Clark County with an effective property tax rate of 0.53-0.73% of market value per Nevada Department of Taxation records. Nevada caps annual increases at 3% for primary residences.
| Home Price | Estimated Annual Tax | Monthly Impact | |---|---|---| | $450,000 (Sun City) | $2,400-$3,300 | $200-$275 | | $682,000 (median) | $3,600-$5,000 | $300-$415 | | $1,400,000 (RRCC) | $7,400-$10,200 | $620-$850 | | $3,200,000 (Ridges) | $17,000-$23,400 | $1,415-$1,950 |
Estimates per Clark County Assessor 2026 rates
Nevada has no state income tax — verify with Nevada Department of Taxation. For a California family earning $300,000, relocating to Summerlin saves approximately $25,000-$35,000 annually in state income taxes alone — often enough to cover the entire property tax bill and HOA combined.
Which Summerlin Village Matches Your Buyer Profile?
After 16 years and thousands of Summerlin transactions, here's how I match buyer to village:
First-time buyers ($400K-$550K): Target The Arbors, The Willows, or older sections of The Gardens. These eastern villages offer the Summerlin address, trail access, and school zones at entry-level pricing. Townhomes start around $380K per Las Vegas REALTORS data.
Families with school-age kids ($600K-$900K): The Trails (Sig Rogich Middle 10/10) and Stonebridge (new construction, mountain views) are the sweet spots. This is Summerlin's most competitive price range — expect multiple offers on well-priced homes.
Move-up luxury ($1M-$3M): The Peaks and Red Rock Country Club offer guard-gated living with golf, established landscaping, and proven appreciation. Reverence adds newer construction and the valley's best elevation views.
Ultra-luxury ($3M+): The Ridges and The Summit Club. These are the valley's most exclusive addresses. The Summit Club ($5M-$30M+) is the single most prestigious residential community in Nevada.
Retirees (55+): Sun City Summerlin — 7,779 homes, the valley's largest active-adult community. Two golf courses, 45,000-square-foot recreation center, 80+ clubs. Median $450K, HOA $180-$350/month. Compare with Henderson's Sun City Anthem for a side-by-side per our Henderson Top 5 guide.
Investors: Summerlin's rental yields are lower than Henderson or North Las Vegas (4.2-5.0% gross vs 5.5-6.5%) due to higher purchase prices. But tenant quality, lower vacancy (3.4% per GLVAR), and stable appreciation make it a strong total-return play for long-term buy-and-hold investors.
