Providence is a roughly 1,200-acre master-planned community in northwest Las Vegas, developed by Focus Property Group with first sales in 2006 and built out across dozens of named neighborhoods. This authority guide ties the whole plan together: the history, the builders, the villages, the parks, the schools, and how they compare.

Providence Overview
Providence is a large master-planned community in northwest Las Vegas, off the I-215 Beltway at Hualapai Way, near Mount Charleston and Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs (ZIPs 89166 and 89149). Focus Property Group broke ground in 2004 and the first homes sold in 2006, with the build-out continuing across the late 2000s and 2010s.
At buildout the plan totals roughly 5,600 to 7,500 residences across about two to three dozen named neighborhoods or villages, built by a wide mix of national and regional builders. That variety means home styles, gate status and price points differ from village to village, so the right choice depends on the neighborhood as much as the master plan itself.
Around the homes sit three large community parks, Knickerbocker, The Promenade and Huckleberry, plus a connecting trail system and amenity centers, giving the plan the family-friendly outdoor character that draws many northwest buyers.

Builders & Development
Providence was built by a wide mix of national and regional homebuilders, which is why the plan has so much architectural variety from village to village. The roster below reflects the builders confirmed to have built neighborhoods here.
The Villages of Providence
Providence is made up of dozens of named neighborhoods and sub-associations. The directory below lists the verified child neighborhoods of the plan. Each one will receive its own in-depth guide in a dedicated Providence authority project using the same rich-community production standard used across this site; for now this directory establishes the full structure.
This is the real, verified list of Providence child neighborhoods rather than a generic count. If you are considering a specific village, I know it and can walk you through how it actually lives.

Ground broke in 2004 and the first homes sold in 2006. The community built out through the late 2000s and 2010s with a mix of production builders, and its final townhome project marked the end of new construction in the master plan.

A mix of national and regional builders built the neighborhoods, including KB Home, Lennar, Richmond American, Toll Brothers, Ryland, Pardee, Beazer, Warmington, D.R. Horton, Woodside, CalAtlantic, Pulte, Meritage and others, so home styles vary by village.
