What Is Sarasota at The Paseos?

Sarasota is a gated, single-family neighborhood in The Paseos, one of the western villages of Summerlin in the 89138 zip code. It was built by Ryland Homes, a well-known production builder, and constructed around 2014 to 2016. After Ryland merged with Standard Pacific in 2015, the neighborhood was later associated with CalAtlantic Homes, which is why you will see more than one builder name attached to the same streets.

What makes Sarasota stand out in a village full of gated neighborhoods is the design personality. The original release leaned into modern, two-story living with an unusual amount of it happening up high: per the developer's original marketing, six two-story floor plans were offered, and five of the six featured a private rooftop deck. That gives the community a character you do not find in most Paseos resales, where the outdoor living tends to sit at ground level.

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 Sarasota 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 Setting Feel Like?

Sarasota sits in The Paseos, a Summerlin West village in the 89138 zip code, west of the I-215 beltway. The village was built on higher ground than most of the valley, which is exactly what gives it its character: it runs a little cooler, and it looks out over the valley and up at the mountains. Many Sarasota homes take advantage of that elevation with views of the Las Vegas valley, the Strip and the surrounding peaks, and the rooftop decks were designed to make those views the point of the house.

The setting is the reason this corner of Summerlin commands the attention it does. You are far enough west that the Strip feels like a different city, yet close enough to Red Rock that the canyon becomes part of the local routine rather than a day trip. The Paseos threads parks and trails through the open space and connects into Summerlin's larger trail network, so getting outside does not require loading up the car. Fox Hill Park, the large community park of the village, sits nearby.

What Are the Homes Like, and What About the Rooftop Decks?

Sarasota homes are predominantly two-story, single-family designs. The original release offered six two-story plans, and the Meadow plan includes up to four bedrooms and 3½ baths. Exact bed and bath counts vary by plan, so confirm the specific listing. Square footage varies by plan and phase, so the exact size of any specific home should always be checked against its listing and public records. Many homes in the community offer pools, and many of the elevated lots carry valley, Strip or mountain views. A pool and a view together, on the same house, is a combination that explains a lot of the price spread you will see here.

The signature feature is the rooftop deck. Per the developer's original marketing, the community offered six two-story floor plans, and five of the six included a private rooftop deck showcasing views of Red Rock Canyon and the valley. That is not the same as a balcony you can barely stand on. These were designed as usable outdoor living space set above the roofline, which changes how the house feels every single day, especially at dusk when the western sky does its thing.

Because this is a resale neighborhood, two homes on the same street can be very different houses. The rooftop deck may be intact, enclosed, re-decked or modified depending on what each owner did, and the same goes for kitchens, baths, flooring, landscaping and pools. The marketing said five of six plans featured the deck. What is actually there for a specific address is a per-listing question, so verify the feature, the condition and the square footage on the house you are actually considering.

Home sizes, room counts, features and pricing are approximate ranges. Confirm exact plans, square footage, rooftop-deck condition and pricing with the specific listing and public records.

Who Built Sarasota, and What About the Shared Entry With Altura?

Sarasota began as a Ryland Homes release around 2014, and the neighborhood was later associated with CalAtlantic Homes after Ryland merged with Standard Pacific in 2015. Ryland is a well-known production builder, and the community was constructed through about 2016. None of that builder history changes what the neighborhood is today: an established, gated resale community where you buy what exists rather than what a builder is selling.

One detail buyers notice quickly is the entrance. Sarasota shares a gated entry with Altura, the adjacent Toll Brothers neighborhood, within The Paseos. That means a single impressive gate serves two communities with very different builders and plan palettes: Ryland's two-story designs with the rooftop decks on the Sarasota side, and Toll Brothers' product on the Altura side. If you are touring one, you will drive past the other, which makes it worth knowing the distinction before you go. The Altura community page covers the neighbor side of that shared entry, and the Sarasota community page goes deeper into the neighborhood itself.

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

The Paseos sits west of the I-215 beltway on higher ground, and the geography does most of the talking. The Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area is roughly 10 minutes or so from the village to the scenic loop, which makes the canyon's hiking, climbing and scenic drive part of the local routine instead of a weekend expedition. Red Rock Casino sits along the West Charleston corridor, covering shopping, dining and entertainment close to home, and the village itself is threaded with parks and trails. Fox Hill Park, the large community park commonly cited in The Paseos, is a short distance from Sarasota and anchors the open-space side of village life.

For everything else, the I-215 beltway gives convenient access across the west side of the valley, and Downtown Summerlin's retail, restaurants and events are a short drive away. For the wider picture of the village and how Sarasota sits alongside the other Paseos neighborhoods, the The Paseos community guide is the place to start.

On schools, assignments in Las Vegas are determined by CCSD attendance zones and can change, so confirm the current zoning for any address with the Clark County School District before relying on it, rather than assuming a school from a neighborhood name.

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 views, the parks and the canyon proximity, and it is exactly the kind of lifestyle-versus-commute comparison worth having before you commit.

How Much Does Sarasota Cost in 2026?

Here is the straight talk: Sarasota is an established resale community. Based on 2025–2026 resale activity reviewed, Sarasota listings have commonly appeared from roughly the $500,000s up to about $950,000 or more. Prices and availability change, so confirm current listings and recent comparable sales. That is a wide spread on purpose. A smaller standard lot without the view, and a larger home with a pool and a rooftop deck overlooking the valley, live on the same streets but price very differently.

None of that is a guarantee for a specific home, and none of it is a substitute for current data. Sarasota figures move with the market and depend on the plan, the phase, the lot, the pool, the rooftop-deck condition and the view. The right way to answer "what is it worth" for a particular Sarasota 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 Sarasota is no exception. Here is the honest list:

• A wide price range on the same streets. The phase, lot and view spread is a feature for buyers who want choice, but it means "what does Sarasota cost" has no single answer.
• The rooftop decks need a per-home look. The original marketing said five of six plans included them, but what each owner did to the deck over the years is a per-listing question.
• Predominantly two-story. If one-level living is a priority, this is likely not the community to anchor your search.
• Gated and elevated, at a price. The gate and the community carry HOA dues, and Summerlin West commands a different price point than newer or more easterly neighborhoods.
• West-side commute. The Strip and the airport are cross-valley drives, the trade-off for the Red Rock lifestyle.
• Resale, not new construction. You buy what exists, so condition, upgrades and the specific lot matter more than a builder's brochure.

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

Is Sarasota at The Paseos Right for You?

Sarasota is a strong fit if you want the gated, elevated character of Summerlin West with something genuinely unusual on top: private rooftop decks and valley or mountain views, on modern two-story homes from the mid-2010s, behind a gate shared with Toll Brothers. It is a harder fit if you need a tightly defined price point, because the phase, lot, pool and view spread here is real, or if single-story living is a priority. And it is simply a different conversation if you are weighing Sarasota 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 Sarasota community page covers the neighborhood in more detail when you are ready to dig in.
