Village Overview
The Vistas is a roughly 815-acre village of Summerlin in Las Vegas (zip 89138), on the far-west side of the valley west of the I-215 beltway near Alta Drive and Park Vista Drive, with the Red Rock Canyon foothills rising beyond. The Howard Hughes Corporation developed the village beginning in 2000, and the majority of homes were built between 2000 and 2008.
The village signature is European-inspired architecture, from Mediterranean and Tuscan styling to the clock towers that anchor its parks. Housing mixes townhomes and single-family homes, gated and open, from moderately priced plans to custom estates, so the buyer pool stretches from first-time and move-up families to downsizers and luxury owners.
Around the homes sit North Tower Park, South Tower Park and the roughly 23-to-24-acre Vistas Community Park and Pool, plus connections into Summerlin's system-wide trail network, making the village one of the most recreation-minded pockets of the master plan.

Location & Access
The Vistas sits on the western edge of the Las Vegas valley, west of the I-215 beltway. Alta Drive runs through the village, Far Hills Avenue forms part of its southern edge, and downtown Summerlin's retail district is a short drive east. The higher elevation gives many homes valley and Red Rock views and keeps summer evenings a few degrees cooler than the valley floor.

Alta Drive

Homes in The Vistas
The village's build-out ran from about 2000 to 2008 with a mix of builders, including KB Home and Woodside Homes, plus townhome builders and custom lots. Home sizes spanned from roughly 1,500 square feet in townhome and entry plans to 3,000-plus square feet in single-family and custom homes. Today the market is entirely resale, and prices vary widely by neighborhood, gate and view.

Market context, as of 2026
Third-party market reports do not publish a single village-wide median for The Vistas, so I do not quote one. What is verifiable is the mix: 2000s-built homes in gated and open neighborhoods with clock-tower parks nearby, resale-only today. Prices vary more within this village than in most, driven by gate, lot and Red Rock views. Ask for current numbers for a specific property before drawing conclusions.
HOA context: Summerlin master fees plus the Vistas village association and individual neighborhood sub-associations all apply. Exact fees depend on the neighborhood and the home; I will itemize them for any property you are considering.

Is The Vistas a resale market?
Yes, The Vistas is built out and today trades on the resale market only.

Market conditions change, so ask for current numbers for your specific situation.
