Esperanza Overview
Esperanza is one of The Paseos' big-two-story neighborhoods, built by Lennar around 2014 and listed on Summerlin's official site as Esperanza by Lennar. The listings that reference an Esperanza Phase 1 point to a phased build-out, which is typical of how the village's larger pockets came together in the 2010s.
The housing is consistently large, roughly 2,900 to 3,800-plus square feet with four to five bedrooms, and consistently gated. For families and relocating households, Esperanza delivers the modern Lennar standard, generous rooms and upgraded finishes, behind a Paseos gate and with the village's parks, trails and schools attached, at a price that is usually friendlier than the 2017-era gates farther west.

Market context, as of late 2025 / early 2026
Esperanza sits at the larger, upper end of the village market, with homes commonly priced around or above the Paseos median of roughly $825,000 reported in Q4 2025. Because the homes are big and the inventory is thin, each sale is driven by plan, lot and condition; market conditions change, so ask for current comparable sales for a specific home.
HOA context: Esperanza carries the Summerlin master fee, currently described around $69 per month for the Summerlin West portion of the village, plus village and sub-association dues commonly in the $75 to $150 range for single-family homes in The Paseos. Exact fees depend on the specific home.

- Red Rock Canyon entrance nearby

Lifestyle & Local Context
Esperanza is family-scale living in a gated setting: the four- and five-bedroom plans give growing households the rooms they need, and the gated streets let kids ride bikes and parents walk without traffic worry. The village parks and trails sit minutes from the gate, so weekends default to outside.
It is also a relocation favorite. Out-of-state buyers see the same checklist in Esperanza every time: recent build, gated, good schools, room to spread out, and a price that still makes sense versus the luxury villages. If a big two-story in a gated Summerlin neighborhood is your target, Esperanza is one of the first places I would show you, and I know how it prices against its siblings.
