Los Altos at The Paseos Summerlin: Toll Brothers Single-Story Luxury Estates

Upscale single-story courtyard-style estate homes with tile roofs and desert landscaping in a gated Las Vegas master-planned community at late afternoon

Most gated communities in Summerlin show you the gate first and the floor plan second. Los Altos is the rare one that leads with the floor plan: a whole neighborhood built around single-story living, where the point is the one-level home itself. Built by Toll Brothers around 2018 to 2019, it is a gated enclave of 78 luxury estates in The Paseos village of Summerlin South, on high ground near the foothills of Red Rock Canyon. If you are looking for a large, single-level home without leaving Summerlin's amenities, here is what to actually know about Los Altos before you decide whether it fits.

Is Los Altos at The Paseos Right for You?

Quick Takeaways

  • Los Altos is a gated community of 78 single-story luxury estate homes in The Paseos village of Summerlin South, ZIP 89138.
  • Toll Brothers built it around 2018 to 2019, and every home in the community is now resale.
  • Four single-story floor plans run roughly 3,100 to 3,800 square feet, with up to 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms possible through flexible and optional spaces, 3-car garages and 10 to 12 foot ceilings depending on plan.

  • It is one of The Paseos' premier single-story addresses, best for anyone who wants large one-level living on a generous, gated site.

What Is Los Altos at The Paseos?

Los Altos is a gated community of 78 luxury single-story homes tucked inside The Paseos village of Summerlin South. It sits in the 89138 zip code, on an elevated site near the foothills of Red Rock Canyon, which gives the neighborhood two things people notice every day: a quieter setting than much of the valley, and views toward the mountains. The gated entry is off Munricia Heights Street.

What makes Los Altos stand out is that it is a single-story community by design, not by accident. Toll Brothers built it around 2018 to 2019 with four single-story floor plans, and because construction wrapped up several years ago, every home in the neighborhood is now resale. That distinction matters more than it sounds: this is not a builder selling you a promise of what the community will be. It is an established neighborhood with a track record, and the value conversation is about what the homes and the setting have actually become.

For a deeper look at the neighborhood itself, the Los Altos community page walks through the enclave in detail. It pairs well with the The Paseos community guide, which ties all the village's neighborhoods together.


Where Is Los Altos Located?

Los Altos sits in The Paseos, one of Summerlin's western villages, in the 89138 zip code, west of the I-215 beltway. The village was developed on higher ground than most of the valley, which is exactly what gives Los Altos its elevated, foothills setting. You are far enough west that the Strip feels like a different city, and close enough to Red Rock that the canyon feels like part of the neighborhood rather than a day trip.

The Paseos sits in the western reaches of Summerlin, west of the I-215 beltway, and if you are new to Summerlin the sheer number of village names can feel overwhelming. The short version for Los Altos: this is the western, gated, foothills version of Summerlin living, with parks, trails and open space threaded through it. For the bigger picture, the Summerlin West overview and the full Summerlin guide are good starting points.


What Are the Homes Like?

Los Altos is built around four single-story floor plans, which means every home in the community is on one level. As a general range, the homes run roughly 3,100 to 3,800 square feet, and the plans are designed to be flexible: through flex rooms, casitas and optional spaces, a home can reach up to 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Three-car garages are part of the picture, and ceilings run 10 to 12 feet depending on the plan, with coffered ceilings, formal dining, covered patios and courtyards showing up across the designs. The architecture is a blend of Spanish and contemporary, which fits the village character of The Paseos.

The lots are a big part of the appeal. Large home sites are reported in the roughly 8,400 to 23,000 square foot range, which is generous by Summerlin standards and one reason Los Altos reads as an estate community rather than a typical tract neighborhood. On the higher end of that range, the extra ground is real, not a rounding error.

I am giving you ranges on purpose. Exact plan, square footage, bedroom and bathroom counts vary by the specific home and how the original buyer configured the flexible spaces, so the honest way to evaluate any Los Altos property is against that exact home's listing and public records, not a blanket figure. That is a conversation rather than a headline.

Who Built Los Altos?

Toll Brothers built Los Altos, with construction and sales running roughly from 2018 to 2019. For historical development context, the community's model openings date back to around 2016, when Toll Brothers first brought the plans to market before the build-out the community page describes. Toll Brothers is one of the country's larger luxury homebuilders, and its name carries weight in this price range, but it is worth saying plainly: the builder matters less for resale than the home and the neighborhood in front of you. What the Toll Brothers heritage does give Los Altos is a consistent, high-end building standard across the community's four plans.

Because the community is several years old, the condition story is the honest one to focus on. These are not brand-new homes, so the big-ticket items, the HVAC, the water heater, the roof, the windows, deserve a look before you commit. That is not a reason to walk away from a well-built Toll Brothers property; it is a reason to inspect, ask and negotiate with the facts in front of you.


What Is the Lifestyle Like in The Paseos?

The Paseos is a full village with its own character, built around parks, trails and walkable open space. That is part of what makes single-story communities like Los Altos work: the lifestyle extends beyond the home, out the gate and into a network of trails and neighborhood parks. It connects into Summerlin's much larger trail system (the official Summerlin trails page maps the routes), so getting outside does not require loading up the car.

The village sits near Downtown Summerlin and Summerlin Hospital, which matters for everyday errands, appointments and the general convenience of living in the western part of the master plan. The elevated, foothills setting brings cooler air and a quieter feel than most of the valley, which residents tend to notice as a daily difference, not a brochure line.


What's Nearby: Shopping, Parks, and the Outdoors?

The headline amenity is Red Rock Canyon. Los Altos sits on an elevated site near the foothills, so the canyon's scenic loop, hiking and climbing are part of the local routine rather than a weekend expedition. The mountain proximity does more than look good: it brings cooler air and a quieter setting than most of the valley.

Inside the village, parks and a trail system are woven through The Paseos, giving residents open space close to home. For the everyday errands, the West Charleston corridor, Red Rock Casino and nearby shopping and dining cover most of what people need, and Downtown Summerlin is a short drive for retail, restaurants and entertainment, with Summerlin Hospital close by.

The public schools most commonly referenced for the Paseos and 89138 area are Linda Rankin Givens Elementary, Sig Rogich Middle and Palo Verde High. School assignments are tied to an exact address and boundaries can change, so always verify current zoning directly with the Clark County School District for any specific home.


How Much Do Los Altos Homes Cost?

Here is the straight talk: Los Altos is one of the premium single-story addresses in The Paseos, and the pricing reflects that. Homes here are commonly priced above the broader Paseos village median. For dated historical village-level context only: reports put The Paseos median sale price around $825,000 in Q4 2025. That is a village statistic from one reporting period, not a Los Altos valuation, a current asking-price range or a current market statistic.

The actual value of a given Los Altos home depends on the plan, the lot, the renovation work, the configuration of the flexible spaces and the view, and those factors can move the number a lot. The right way to answer "what is it worth" for a particular Los Altos address is current comparable sales for that exact home, which is a conversation rather than a headline number. If you want to see where your situation lands, the home value page is the direct route.


What Are the Real Trade-Offs?

Every neighborhood has trade-offs, and Los Altos is no exception. Here is the honest list:

  • Single-story by design, at a premium. The one-level estate layout is the whole point, and the community's premium price reflects how rare large single-story inventory is in Summerlin.
  • Resale, not new construction. You buy what exists, which means the condition, upgrades and configuration of the specific home matter more than a builder's brochure.
  • Gated and quiet, with an inspection list. The gate carries HOA dues, and the age of the homes means the mechanicals deserve a careful look before you commit.
  • West-side commute. The Strip and the airport are cross-valley drives, a trade-off for the Red Rock foothills lifestyle.
  • Small community. With only 78 homes in the enclave, homes become available infrequently, so the right home may take patience.

None of these are reasons to avoid Los Altos. They are the things to weigh, and they are exactly the questions a good buyer's conversation starts with.

HOA context: Los Altos carries the Summerlin master assessment, currently described around $69 per month, plus Paseos village and sub-association dues commonly in the $75 to $150 range for single-family homes in the village. Fees can change, and they vary by property and sub-association, so confirm the exact figures for the specific home you are considering.


Is Los Altos Right for You?

Los Altos is a strong fit if large single-story living on a generous, gated site is the priority: a Toll Brothers build, a blend of Spanish and contemporary architecture, up to 3,800 square feet on one level, and the foothills setting near Red Rock as the backdrop. It is a harder fit if you want brand-new construction, if you need the flexibility of a two-story layout, or if the west-side commute is a dealbreaker, and that is fine. The best real estate decision is the one that fits your life, and sometimes it is not the obvious one.

Because the community is small and homes become available infrequently, the practical advice is to compare it against the other single-story neighborhoods in The Paseos before you tour, so you know what the range actually is. If luxury and value are both on your mind, the luxury home buying guide is a useful companion to this one.
