Escala Overview
Escala is the Paseos neighborhood without the gate, and for the right buyer that is the whole point. Pulte built here in 2005 with both one- and two-story floor plans, giving the neighborhood a practical mix you rarely find in a single Summerlin pocket, and the open (non-gated) layout means no controlled entry and no separate Escala sub-association fee.
The homes are compact by village standards, roughly 1,750 to 2,650 square feet, which keeps Escala among the more accessible entries into The Paseos while still carrying the full village infrastructure: the same schools, parks, trails and Charleston-corridor convenience as the gated streets around it. It is a choice about how you want to live, not a compromise in location.
Homes & Floor Plans
Pulte's Escala release combined single-story and two-story plans, and the mix is the neighborhood's defining feature. The figures below should be confirmed against the specific home.
One- and two-story
Both plan styles exist here, so buyers can match the home to their mobility and lifestyle needs street by street.
Sizes
About 1,754 to 2,648 sq ft, with 2 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4 baths.
HOA structure
No separate gate and no Escala sub-association fee; the Summerlin master association fee is the primary HOA layer.
Market context, as of late 2025 / early 2026
Escala prices in the mid-range of the village, generally around or below the Paseos median of roughly $825,000 reported in Q4 2025. The single-story plans and renovated homes anchor the top of the neighborhood range, and the leaner HOA structure is a genuine draw for investors; conditions change, so ask for current comparable sales for a specific home.
HOA context: the Summerlin master association fee is commonly around $69 per month for the Summerlin West portion of the village, with no separate Escala sub-association fee. Master fees can be adjusted by the association, so review the current disclosure for the specific home.

Lifestyle & Local Context
Escala residents trade the gate for a leaner HOA and a friendlier entry price, and the neighborhood's open layout means guests, delivery drivers and everyday traffic come and go without a code. Because the plans mix one- and two-story homes, the streets hold a genuine variety of households, from original owners aging in single-story plans to young families in the two-story layouts.
Everything else is still The Paseos: village trails out the front door, Paseos Park for weekends, Charleston corridor for errands, Downtown Summerlin and the ballpark for entertainment, Red Rock Canyon for the escape. For buyers who do not need a gate but want everything else the village offers, Escala is the honest value pick, and I will tell you exactly how it compares to the gated alternatives.
