What Makes Crested Canyon in Kestrel Village Stand Out?
Crested Canyon brings Taylor Morrison's upscale contemporary design to the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley, where the open desert and mountain views are part of the product. The gated community is built around six floor plans, and the location puts it squarely inside Summerlin West's newest growth area.
Getting around is easy from here: the 215 Beltway and Summerlin Parkway connect the community to Downtown Summerlin's shops and restaurants, and the Red Rock Canyon entrance lies minutes to the west for the scenic drive and trailheads.
Floor Plans: 2-Story & 3-Story Modern Options
Crested Canyon's floor plans fall into two families: the traditional two-story designs and the "Plus" series, which use three-story vertical living to add a flexible ground-floor flex room or bonus suite without a bigger footprint. Here is how all six plans compare:
| Plan Name | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Square Feet | Stories | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acacia | 3 | 2.5 | 1,649 | 2-Story | Efficient entry plan with open great room & 2-car garage |
| Beech | 3 | 2.5 | 1,813 | 2-Story | Popular mid-size design with spacious primary suite & loft |
| Cedar | 4 | 2.5 | 2,002 | 2-Story | Largest 2-story option with 4 bedrooms & island kitchen |
| Acacia Plus | 3 | 2 full, 2 half | 1,944 | 3-Story | 3-story layout with lower-level game room or office |
| Beech Plus | 3 | 2 full, 2 half | 2,090 | 3-Story | Vertical design with elevated living room views & deck options |
| Cedar Plus | 4 | 2 full, 2 half | 2,242 | 3-Story | Flagship 3-story floor plan maximizing square footage and vistas |

Appraiser Insight: Value in Vertical Efficiency
The appraiser in me likes the efficiency of the "Plus" series. These floor plans stack three stories into an envelope under 2,300 square feet and put the third floor to work with sightlines of the Las Vegas Strip and the Red Rock mountains. That vertical efficiency means buyers can get the views and the lifestyle without paying for premium square footage they do not need.
