Summerlin appeals to diverse group of buyers

Summerlin continues to appeal to a diverse group of home buyers, according to Stewart Gibbons, vice president of The Howard Hughes Corp., which oversees development of the master-planned community.

"Summerlin was designed as an integrated community, a place where residents from all walks of life could live and work," Gibbons said. "Just as quality has become a hallmark of Summerlin, diversity and variety are of paramount importance."

Summerlin aligns the western edge of the valley and is currently comprised of 15 villages, each with a major park or golf course. At buildout, the community will be made up of 30 villages.

It is home to two Tournament Players Club golf courses, in addition to Bear's Best and five others.

Additional features include 100 neighborhood and village parks, more than 90 completed miles of trails, 16 schools, houses of worship, shopping centers, business parks, and medical centers.

"Summerlin residents all enjoy access to the same first-rate amenities and the same quality lifestyle," Gibbons said. "Living in Summerlin is as much about quality of life as it is about beautiful homes."

Nearly 130 model homes are open in the community, which offers single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums priced from the mid-$100,000s to more than $700,000. Custom lots measuring from one-quarter acre to three-quarters of an acre are priced from the mid-$100,000s to more than $1 million, and predesigned custom homes are priced from $500,000 to more than $1 million. Apartments offer monthly rents starting from the $700s.

To visit the custom homes and lots sales center, take Sahara Avenue west, past Hualapai Way, to Town Center Drive. Or, take Interstate 215 to the Sahara exit. The office is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
