Crested Canyon by Taylor Morrison

Sandy Margolin / September 5, 2026 / All articles

Crested Canyon by Taylor Morrison is a gated, modern home community in Summerlin's Kestrel Village featuring six floor plans across two-story and three-story designs. Ranging from 1,649 to 2,242 square feet, Crested Canyon offers low-maintenance, stylish living with panoramic Red Rock and Las Vegas Valley views.

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

  • Elementary School: Billy & Rosemary Vassiliadis Elementary School or Linda Givens Elementary School
  • Middle School: Sig Rogich Middle School

Families also weigh the area's private school options, including Doral Academy Red Rock, The Meadows School, and Bishop Gorman High School.

Outdoor Recreation & Neighborhood Surroundings

While Crested Canyon features no internal park facilities, it is directly adjacent to Summerlin's extensive linear trail and park network.

Residents enjoy quick access to:

  • Red Rock Canyon: Just 5 minutes away for morning hikes and scenic loop drives.
  • Grand Park & Council Park: 90-acre central park district featuring pickleball courts, splash pads, and sports fields.
  • Fox Hill Adventure Park: 18-acre park featuring zip lines, disc golf, and climbing structures.
  • Downtown Summerlin: 8–10 minutes to shopping, dining, City National Arena, and Las Vegas Ballpark.
Appraiser Insight

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.
