Nestled within Summerlin West's exclusive Paseos community, Altura represents the pinnacle of gated luxury living in Las Vegas. This prestigious Toll Brothers development offers residents an unparalleled combination of elegant architecture, world-class amenities, and convenient access to some of Nevada's finest schools, recreation, and entertainment options.
Schools and Education Excellence
Families buying in Altura ask about schools early, and this part of Summerlin West offers strong public options: Valley High School Academy (VASS), Sig Rogich Middle School (SIGR) and Palo Verde High School (PALV).
Elementary students attend Valley High School Academy (VASS). School assignments matter to Altura families, which is why it is worth confirming the current boundaries for a specific address before any decision.
Beyond the public path, families also weigh private options such as The Meadows School, Bishop Gorman High School and Faith Lutheran High School. School boundaries, enrollment rules and programs can change, so I always confirm the current assignment for a specific address with the Clark County School District before a buyer commits.

Local Economy & Business Opportunities
Altura sits close to the business and service side of Summerlin West. Summerlin Hospital Medical Center is the area's major medical facility, giving residents a full-service healthcare option without leaving the community.
Downtown Summerlin anchors the west side's shopping, dining and professional base, and it is close enough to be part of everyday life for Altura residents.
On the commute side, the 215 Beltway ties the community to the rest of the valley, and Harry Reid International Airport is a reasonable drive for travel. That combination keeps work, errands and flights within reach of a Paseos address.
Outdoor Recreation & Parks
Outdoor recreation is a big part of life in The Paseos, and Fox Hill Park is one of the village's best-known parks. This 12.5-acre facility is part of the everyday scene for Altura families.
For bigger adventures, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is the valley's landmark open space. The 195,000-acre preserve offers scenic drives, hiking and desert views that make western Summerlin feel a world away from the Strip.
Golfers have no shortage of options. TPC Las Vegas, Bear's Best Las Vegas and Arroyo Golf Club all operate within the Summerlin area, from resort-caliber courses to club-level play.
Beyond the parks, Summerlin's trail system is one of the reasons people choose the west side, with over 150 miles of trails connecting neighborhoods, parks and open space.
Real Estate Market and Trends
Altura homes in The Paseos have been trading in the $1.2 to $1.4 million range, with price per square foot averaging $363. A recently sold 3,511 square foot home in the neighborhood offered five bedrooms and four bathrooms, a useful benchmark for the footprint.
The typical resale spans 3,500–4,200 square feet, with four to six bedrooms, three-car garages and, on many homes, Tesla charging stations, marble countertops and pools.
The HOA picture is straightforward: dues run $170 monthly, covering both the master Summerlin West association ($60) and the Altura sub-association ($110).
Inventory stays limited, and that shapes buyer strategy. Some buyers shop the renovation market, buying a solid home and planning upgrades, while others look to expand or build out rather than wait for the next listing.

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment
Downtown Summerlin is the centerpiece, a shopping and dining destination with over 125 shops spread across its open-air layout. The store list alone covers most of what residents need, from Dillard's and Macy's to the Apple Store.
For meals, Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, The Lucky Penny and True Food Kitchen are familiar names in the Summerlin dining scene, and Red Rock Resort adds another round of options nearby.
Entertainment is close too. Las Vegas Ballpark hosts the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A team, and City National Arena keeps the Vegas Golden Knights close to the community.
