Most people who search for Santaluz at The Paseos are not really shopping for a house. They are shopping for a way to live the next chapter without stairs. This small, gated, all-single-story Toll Brothers neighborhood sits on the western rim of The Paseos in Summerlin West, and it has quietly become one of the more talked-about one-level communities in the village, partly because there are only about 53 homes, and partly because of what they trade for. Let's look at what Santaluz actually is, what the floor plans offer, where it sits, and how to tell whether it fits your situation. No hype, no pressure, just the straight story.

What Is Santaluz at The Paseos?

Santaluz is a gated, all-single-story single-family community built by Toll Brothers in The Paseos, one of the western villages of Summerlin in the 89138 zip code. Roughly 53 home sites were introduced here in the mid-2010s, which makes it one of the smaller and more intimate neighborhoods in the village. That is not a small detail: with only a few dozen homes, the community feels more like a private enclave than a neighborhood you share with hundreds of other households.

Every home is on one level, and that is the whole personality of the place. In a village full of two-story product, Santaluz is the rare gate where the builder went all-in on single-story luxury from the start. Today every home is resale, which matters more than you might think: the value conversation here is about what the neighborhood has become, not what a builder is promising it will be. For a wider map of how Santaluz fits into the master plan, the Summerlin community guide and the Summerlin West overview are good starting points.


Where Is It and What Does the Western-Rim Setting Feel Like?

Santaluz sits along the western rim of The Paseos, on the higher ground that gives this corner of Summerlin its character. The village runs a little cooler than the valley floor, the sky opens up to the west, and Red Rock becomes part of the local backdrop rather than a distant landmark. Walking trails from the neighborhood give access to the adjacent Paseo Park, so getting outside does not require loading up the car.

The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is minutes away, which turns the canyon's scenic drive, hiking and climbing into part of the routine instead of a weekend expedition. Red Rock Casino sits nearby in the area along the West Charleston corridor, covering shopping, dining and entertainment close to home, and the I-215 beltway provides convenient access across the west side of the valley. It is a setting that rewards people who value open space, views and the canyon lifestyle over being in the middle of the action, which is exactly the lifestyle-versus-location comparison worth having before you commit.


What Are the Single-Story Floor Plans Like?

Per the developer's original marketing, Santaluz offered three single-story floor plans. The smallest runs around 2,495 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the Messina sits around 2,684 square feet, and the Trapani, the largest, runs around 2,873 square feet with 4 bedrooms. Treat every size as approximate, because options and what each owner did over time changed the footprints, and confirm the exact plan and square footage against the specific listing and public records.

The signature details, also from the original marketing, are what give the plans their luxury feel: three-car garages, which are still a genuinely useful feature in a single-story home, and a 12-foot accordion door that opens the main living space directly to the backyard, which effectively extends the house outdoors. Options included a casita and a range of decorative features, so two homes on the same street can be very different houses depending on what each owner selected and added over the years.

Because this is a resale neighborhood, what a specific house offers today is a per-listing question. The accordion door may be intact, enclosed or modified. A casita may be present or not. The kitchen, baths, flooring and landscaping all reflect whoever has owned the home since it was built. Verify the features and condition on the house you are actually considering, not on the brochure.

What Is It Like Living in an All-Single-Story Gated Community?

Single-story living is a factual home characteristic, not a demographic statement, and it is the reason most people find their way to Santaluz. Everything that matters to daily life sits on one level: the primary suite, the living spaces, the kitchen and the garage are all on the same floor, which is a genuinely different way to live than running a two-story house. For people who are planning for the long term, for those who simply prefer not to climb stairs, or for anyone tired of hauling groceries up a flight, that one-level layout is the feature that decides the whole search.

The gated setting adds a layer of privacy and control over who comes into the neighborhood, and the small home count keeps the gate genuinely quiet. With about 53 homes, you are not sharing the streets with a constantly turning-over rental pool or a hundred-year buildout still in progress. You buy into a finished, established community where the character is already set. That combination, one-level living plus a small, gated, built-out neighborhood, is harder to find in Summerlin West than the number of Santaluz listings would suggest.


What's Nearby: Paseo Park, Red Rock, and Everyday Life?

Santaluz sits on the western rim of The Paseos, and the location does most of the talking. Walking trails from the neighborhood lead to the adjacent Paseo Park, which gives residents green space, open area and room to stretch without getting in the car. The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is minutes away, which makes the canyon's scenic loop, trails and climbing walls part of the local routine. Red Rock Casino is nearby in the area for shopping, dining and entertainment, and the I-215 beltway gives convenient access to the rest of the west side of the valley, including Downtown Summerlin's retail and restaurants a short drive away.

On schools: school assignments in Las Vegas are determined by CCSD attendance zones and can change. Confirm the current zoning for any address with the Clark County School District before relying on it.

The honest trade-off is geography. Summerlin West is a west-side address, so the Strip and the airport are cross-valley drives. That is the deal residents accept for the elevation, the parks, the canyon proximity and the quiet, and it is exactly the kind of lifestyle-versus-commute comparison worth having before you commit. For the wider picture of the village and how Santaluz sits alongside the other Paseos neighborhoods, the The Paseos community guide is the place to start.


How Much Does Santaluz Cost in 2026?

Here is the straight talk: Santaluz is an established resale community. Based on 2025–2026 resale activity reviewed, Santaluz homes have appeared in roughly the $1.1 million to $1.6 million range. Prices and availability change; confirm current listings and recent comparable sales for today's market. There are examples on Puerto Real Court that illustrate just how wide that spread runs. That is a significant number, and it is worth understanding where it comes from.

For context, the neighborhood was originally marketed from the low $500,000s when it was new, in the mid-2010s. That original figure is history, not a current price, but it underscores how far the established resale market has moved as Summerlin West matured. None of this is a guarantee for a specific home, and none of it is a substitute for current data. Santaluz figures move with the market and depend on the plan, the upgrades, the lot and the views, so the right way to answer "what is it worth" for a particular Santaluz address is current comparable sales for that exact home, which is a conversation rather than a headline number.

Like every gated Summerlin community, Santaluz also carries the Summerlin master fee plus the village and sub-association dues typical of The Paseos, so factor the full HOA picture into the monthly math for any home you compare. 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 Santaluz is no exception. Here is the honest list:

  • A premium price point. Santaluz trades in the roughly $1.1 million to $1.6 million range as approximate market context, which puts it above most of The Paseos. The single-story Toll Brothers product, the small gate and the western-rim setting are what the premium buys.
  • Very thin inventory. With only about 53 homes, listings are scarce, so patience is part of the process. When one comes up, it tends to draw the full pool of Summerlin single-story buyers at once.
  • Resale, not new construction. You buy what exists, so condition, upgrades and the specific lot matter more than a builder's brochure ever could.
  • Single-story trade-offs. One-level layouts spread the same square footage over more land, which affects lot size, and the 12-foot accordion door and backyard are only as good as the current owner kept them.
  • West-side commute. The Strip and the airport are cross-valley drives, the trade-off for the Red Rock lifestyle.
  • HOA dues are part of the picture. The Summerlin master fee plus village and sub-association dues are real carrying costs, so they belong in the monthly math.

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


Is Santaluz at The Paseos Right for You?

Santaluz is a strong fit if you want the gated, established character of Summerlin West on a single level, with the western-rim setting, the Paseo Park adjacency and Red Rock minutes away, in a small neighborhood that is already built out and settled. It is a harder fit if you need a tightly defined price point, because the $1.1 million to $1.6 million spread is real, or if you want the flexibility and lower entry of newer construction. And it is simply a different conversation if you are weighing Santaluz against other Paseos neighborhoods or the wider Summerlin picture.

If you are relocating to Las Vegas from out of state, the relocation guide walks through how to compare communities, not just houses, which matters in a place like this where lifestyle is the real decision. And the Santaluz community page covers the neighborhood in more detail when you are ready to dig in.
