Las Vegas
beyond

the Strip

The city most visitors see is a few glittering blocks. The Las Vegas most residents live in is a collection of master-planned neighborhoods, established streets and quiet corners, and that is the city I work in every day.

The living side of the map

A valley of
planned places

Las Vegas grew into a city of master-planned communities, and that is the right lens for choosing where to live. Each corner of the valley has its own market behavior, its own HOAs and its own commute math, and those differences are exactly what a neighborhood comparison should capture.

Centennial Hills and Skye Canyon serve the north, Southern Highlands and Mountains Edge the southwest, The Lakes and Desert Shores hold the middle, and the Strip corridor carries the high-rise lifestyle. North Las Vegas adds newer communities and some of the best value in the state.

  1. 01

    Centennial Hills & Skye Canyon

    The northwest's newer master plans: big homes, big skies, trails and mountain views, often with more land value for the money.

  2. 02

    The Lakes & Desert Shores

    Established water-featured communities between Summerlin and the 95, where canal lots and lake access shape the whole culture.

  3. 03

    Southern Highlands & Mountains Edge

    Southwest master plans with golf, parks and quick access to the 215, popular with families and commuters.

  4. 04

    High-rise & Strip corridor

    Resort-style high-rise condos with Strip and valley views, skyline amenities and a lock-and-leave lifestyle.

  5. 05

    North Las Vegas

    Newer communities and value across the 95, with its own growing master plans and a shorter airport commute from some sections.

  6. 06

    Established Las Vegas

    Deeper-inventory neighborhoods across the city where character, location and price find a balance resale buyers still respect.
