The 5 Most Expensive Neighborhoods in Las Vegas, Ranked by Sold Price

Ranked from twelve months of closed single-family sales rather than opinion, four of the five most expensive neighborhoods in Las Vegas sit inside Summerlin. The Summit Club led at a $19,125,000 median on just four sales, ahead of Tournament Hills and The Ridges. Here is the measured ranking, plus the Southern Highlands Golf Club, the one top-five community outside the master plan.

Almost every "most expensive neighborhoods" list you will find for this city is built from asking prices, from a magazine's impression of prestige, or from whichever enclave had one spectacular sale that year. Asking prices tell you what sellers hope for. I wanted to know what buyers actually paid.

So I took every closed single-family sale with a Las Vegas address in the MLS over the twelve months from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, counted by closing date. That address covers the City of Las Vegas plus unincorporated Clark County areas such as Southern Highlands. I grouped the sales into the communities people actually use, with the same community boundaries as our guard-gated market reports, and ranked them by median sale price. Only communities with at least four closings made the list. The result is below, and the headline finding surprised me even after twenty years here.

The Summit Club is the most expensive neighborhood in Las Vegas by median sale price: four single-family closings at a $19,125,000 median in the twelve months to August 31, 2026, a thin sample. Tournament Hills followed at $5,030,000, then The Ridges at $3,575,000, the Southern Highlands Golf Club at $2,950,000 and Canyon Fairways at $2,925,000. Four of the five sit inside Summerlin.

  • The Summit Club led at a $19,125,000 median on four sales, including the year's top $25 million sale.
  • Tournament Hills ranked second at a $5,030,000 median on five sales, and sold slowest at 118 days.
  • The Ridges ranked third at $3,575,000 and was the deepest top-five market with 38 closings.
  • The Southern Highlands Golf Club, at $2,950,000, is the only top-five community outside Summerlin.
  • 1,277 of 13,886 single-family sales, about 9 percent, closed at $1 million or more.

Which Las Vegas Neighborhoods Are Actually the Most Expensive?

Here is the ranking, measured rather than asserted. Every figure comes from single-family closings with a Las Vegas address recorded between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026.

5Canyon Fairways$2,925,000$6667$1.97M to $4.55M5,145 sq ft

One tie needs flagging. Eagle Hills closed four homes at the same $2,925,000 median as Canyon Fairways. Canyon Fairways takes fifth on both tie-breaks I set in advance, more sales (seven against four) and a higher median price per square foot ($666 against $552), but treat the two as joint fifth.

The finding that matters most is not any single line of that table. It is that four of the five are inside one master plan. The Summit Club, Tournament Hills, The Ridges and Canyon Fairways are all in Summerlin, and the only exception, the Southern Highlands Golf Club, is the guard-gated core of a different master plan at the south end of the valley. Summerlin does not merely lead the Las Vegas luxury market; at the level where medians are measured, it very nearly is the market.

That concentration is unusual. Most large metros spread their top tier across several districts with different characters — an old-money quarter, a waterfront, a hillside, a downtown penthouse market. Las Vegas built almost all of its high end in one master plan on the western edge of the valley, against Red Rock Canyon. According to the Howard Hughes Corporation, Summerlin covers 22,500 acres and has been building since 1990, with roughly 6,000 acres still remaining for future phases.

A note on method, because it changes how you should read the table. A median tells you what a typical home in that community fetched, which is the right measure for comparing neighborhoods, but a median is only as good as its sample. The Summit Club's four sales and Tournament Hills' five are thin; one more closing could move either by millions. The Ridges' 38 and the Southern Highlands Golf Club's 37 are the solid numbers in this table, and the next sections take each community in turn.

Why Does The Summit Club Top the Ranking?

Because every single-family home that sold there was an eight-figure estate. Over the twelve months, The Summit Club recorded four single-family closings, from $10,700,000 to $25,000,000, at a $19,125,000 median and $2,362 a square foot on an 8,530 square foot median home. The $25 million sale, on Canyon Pass in July 2026, was the largest single residential transaction with a Las Vegas address during the period. Widen the window to 24 months and the same community holds the top four residential sales in our data, one of them a $22,000,000 townhouse, topped by $29,250,000.

Four sales is a thin base, and I want to be plain about that. The other three were $10,700,000 on Discovery Canyon, $15,750,000 on Stardust and $22,500,000 on Discovery Peak, and three of the four homes were built in 2024 or 2025. Count the club's townhomes and condominiums as well, which this single-family ranking leaves out, and The Summit Club recorded nine residential closings at a $16,670,000 median, so the conclusion does not depend on the narrow sample.

The community is built differently from everything else on this list. According to the Howard Hughes Corporation's announcement of the venture, The Summit was developed jointly with Discovery Land Company across roughly 555 acres around a private Tom Fazio-designed course. Membership in the club is a separate proposition from owning the dirt.

None of the four sold at or above its final list price; the median sale closed at 92.3 percent of list after a 62-day median on market. For buyers, the practical difference between The Summit Club and the rest of the top five is access rather than price alone. It is a private club community where the social membership and the real estate are entwined, and where a meaningful share of transactions never reach public marketing at all. Our Summit Club page covers the structure. If you want the full picture of how the valley's gated communities compare on access and amenity, the guard-gated communities hub is the place to start.

What Puts Tournament Hills Second?

Size. Tournament Hills is a small guard-gated custom-estate enclave in Summerlin's The Hills South village, immediately beside TPC Summerlin, and its homes are the largest in the top five: a 7,757 square foot median home at $686 a square foot produced a $5,030,000 median across five sales from $2,920,000 to $6,000,000.

The course next door carries history rather than a tour date now. Las Vegas had a PGA Tour stop for 41 years, and TPC Summerlin hosted it from 1992; according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the October 2024 Shriners Children's Open was the final edition. The estates beside it were built in the 1990s — the five that sold were completed between 1993 and 1999 — on lots large enough for the square footage to follow.

Tournament Hills is also the slowest market in the top five. Its five sales took a median 118 days to sell, none closed at or above list, and the median sale landed at 91.5 percent of final list price, the deepest discount in the table. Five closings a year means months can pass with nothing under contract, so a buyer who wants this address should expect to wait for the right house and be ready to act when it appears. Our Tournament Hills buyer's guide walks through each of those five sales.

Its neighbor deserves a sentence here too. Eagle Hills, the guard-gated custom enclave next door that never built its own course, tied for fifth at a $2,925,000 median on four sales from $1,700,000 to $3,225,000, and our Eagle Hills buyer's guide covers what it offers instead.

Where Does The Ridges Rank, and Why?

Third on median, and first on depth. At $797 a square foot across a 4,618 square foot median home, The Ridges carries the second-highest price per square foot in the top five, behind only The Summit Club, and its 38 closings make it the most reliable number in the ranking. Among communities with more than seven sales, nothing in Las Vegas closed at a higher median.

The community sits in Summerlin's Village 18, a collection of guard-gated custom and semi-custom parcels wrapped around the former Bear's Best golf course, with the Spring Mountains directly behind and the Strip laid out below. Its 38 closings over the period ran from $1,750,000 to $16,000,000, and it took a median 67 days to sell. What makes the price per square foot hold up is that the housing stock is genuinely custom at the top end — architect-designed contemporary homes on view lots, not production floor plans with upgraded finishes.

The sub-parcels inside it carry their own reputations and their own pricing, which is why the recorded subdivision names in the data read as things like Village 18 Ridges Parcel J K Windsong and Village 18 Ridges Parcel M N O. A buyer shopping The Ridges is really shopping five or six distinct parcels that share a gate and a name, and the spread between them is wide. Our Ridges community page and the Fairway Hills enclave page break that down further.

On a longer view The Ridges looks stronger still: over the 24 months from September 2024 to August 2026, its 77 single-family sales produced a $4,000,000 median.

The Ridges posted a $3,575,000 median and $797 per square foot across 38 closings, the deepest sample in the top five.

What Makes the Southern Highlands Golf Club the Exception?

It is the only top-five community outside Summerlin. The Southern Highlands Golf Club is the guard-gated core of the Southern Highlands master plan in ZIP 89141, built around a private course that, according to Robert Trent Jones II's portfolio, was a co-design by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr.

Its 37 closings produced a $2,950,000 median at $588 a square foot on a 5,027 square foot median home, with a median build year of 2006. The range is the widest in the top five, from $990,000 to $12,000,000, because the gate encloses everything from golf-course homes to the custom lots of the Estates at Southern Highlands. That $12,000,000 Estates sale in October 2025 was the largest single-family sale with a Las Vegas address outside Summerlin during the twelve months.

It is also a working market rather than a trophy shelf. The median sale took 58 days and closed at 94.1 percent of final list, and six of the 37 sold at or above list. For a buyer who wants golf, a gate and a south-valley location, it is the deepest luxury option on this list after The Ridges. Supply is there too: on October 26, 2026, 35 homes were listed behind the gate at a $3,725,000 median ask, six of them already under contract, which is roughly eleven months of supply at this year's pace of sales and a sign that sellers are asking well above where the median home actually closed.

Why Does Canyon Fairways Take Fifth?

Canyon Fairways is a small guard-gated enclave in Summerlin's The Canyons village, ZIP 89144, and it earns fifth place on seven sales at a $2,925,000 median, $666 a square foot and a 5,145 square foot median home. Its sales ran from $1,970,000 to $4,550,000, and every one of the seven homes was built between 1999 and 2002.

That build window is the point. Canyon Fairways is an established, finished enclave rather than a developing one, so buyers are pricing mature custom homes on settled lots. It was also the quickest seller in the top five at a 37-day median, although none of the seven sold at or above list and the median sale closed at 95.6 percent of final list price.

The tie with Eagle Hills shows how fine the margins are at this level. Two small Summerlin enclaves, eleven sales between them, landed on exactly the same median. Our method breaks the tie on sample size and price per square foot, both of which favor Canyon Fairways, but a buyer weighing the two should tour both. Canyon Fairways also carries the most inventory relative to its sales of anything in the top five: on October 26, 2026 it had 12 active listings at a $3,236,944 median ask against seven closings in the twelve months, roughly 21 months of supply, so a patient buyer has real choice and real leverage there.

Which Communities Just Missed the Top Five?

Ten more of the communities we track cleared the four-closing floor with medians from $1.6 million to $2,925,000, and several are names buyers expect to see in a list like this.

Red Rock Country Club$2,075,000$5487238
Reverence$1,600,000$5193736

Four of these tell you more than their rank suggests. Country Club Hills, in the 89134 corridor of older Summerlin, posted a $2,100,000 median on seventeen sales and moved faster than anything in this article at a median eight days. Its defining number is size: a 4,547 square foot median at a modest $438 per square foot, the signature of an established neighborhood where homes were built generously and the land has appreciated more than the finishes have.

Red Rock Country Club is the opposite profile and the deepest luxury market in the city: 72 closings at a $2,075,000 median and $548 a square foot, from $1,100,000 to $6,300,000. If you want a defensible answer to "what does a luxury Las Vegas home actually cost," it gives the answer with the least uncertainty. According to Red Rock Country Club, the community is built around two Arnold Palmer-designed championship courses, the private Mountain course and the Arroyo course.

The Peaks is the new-construction entry, and Reverence the newest resale market. Reverence, Pulte's community in Summerlin's Village 26, closed 37 homes, all built between 2017 and 2021, from $710,000 to $3,200,000 at a $1,600,000 median, and it was the strongest seller's market on the list, with the median sale at 98 percent of list and 13 of its 37 sales at or above it. The Peaks, recorded as Summerlin Village 17A, closed 40 homes at a $2,325,526 median with a median build year of 2025. New-construction pricing holds a village's median up while the builder is selling, and nobody yet knows how The Peaks will price once the market is resale-only. The new construction hub tracks what builders are currently releasing across the valley.

Red Rock Country Club produced 72 closings at a $2,075,000 median, the deepest luxury sample in the city, though only 14th of the 15 ranked communities on median price.

Where Is the Expensive Real Estate Outside Summerlin?

Mostly inside one gate at the south end of the valley, plus a handful of estates the community tables cannot see.

Large master plans outside Summerlin tend to contain a small gated core of genuinely expensive homes surrounded by a much larger body of ordinary ones, and the core only shows up in a ranking when it is measured on its own. Southern Highlands is the clearest case. Across a 24-month window in our earlier pull, the master plan as a whole recorded 611 sales at a $610,000 median — nowhere near this list. Measured on its own, the Southern Highlands Golf Club inside it ranks fourth in the city at $2,950,000.

Seven of the nine largest non-Summerlin sales were inside the Southern Highlands Golf Club. The exception at number two is worth knowing about: an 11,200 square foot estate on 9.8 acres in the northwest valley that sits in no recorded subdivision at all, which is exactly the kind of sale a community ranking will never surface.

Several other established gated names fill out the picture below the top fifteen. Queensridge's estate sections recorded 37 single-family sales at a $1,149,000 median, with the $6,550,000 Peccole West sale at the top. Spanish Trail in the 89113 corridor — the valley's original guard-gated country club community, developed in the 1980s — ran a $1,097,500 median across 34 sales and topped out at $5,500,000. Canyon Gate Country Club posted a $957,500 median across 30 sales with a $4,350,000 ceiling. The pattern across all of them is the same: established gated communities with medians near a million dollars and a few trophy sales at the top, which is precisely why a ranking built on medians alone would leave a buyer at this level under-informed.

How Much of the Las Vegas Market Is Actually Luxury?

Less than people assume, which is worth knowing before you calibrate expectations.

Across the twelve months measured, homes with a Las Vegas address recorded 13,886 single-family closings at a $484,000 median, of which 1,277 sold at $1 million or more — about 9 percent of the market. Nine in ten homes changed hands below a million dollars, and only 320 sold above $2 million. The ultra-luxury tier is thinner still: the twelve months produced 41 single-family sales above $5 million and 18 at $7 million or more.

That scarcity cuts two ways for a buyer. On the supply side, it means genuine competition for the best product. When Tournament Hills records five sales in a year, a buyer with specific requirements — a particular parcel, a view corridor, a single-story plan — may wait months for something suitable, and will be bidding against people who have also been waiting.

On the pricing side, it means the luxury market moves on different signals from the market underneath it. Mortgage rates matter far less when a large share of transactions are cash or heavily down-paid. What matters more is the flow of equity arriving from California and the Pacific Northwest. According to the Tax Foundation, Nevada levies no individual income tax while California's top marginal rate reaches 13.30 percent, which is the specific reason a great many of these buyers are looking here rather than in Orange County.

The practical implication: comparing the luxury tier to valley-wide statistics will mislead you in both directions. According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the metro-wide statistics quoted in the news each month cover the whole market — meaning metro median price, metro days on market and metro inventory are all describing the 91 percent of the market that is not this. If you are shopping above $2 million, the relevant comparison set is the 320 homes in that band, not the thirteen thousand below it. Our luxury communities hub organises the valley by that band rather than by geography.

What Does Price Per Square Foot Reveal That Median Price Hides?

It separates expensive neighborhoods from neighborhoods with big houses, and the two are genuinely different things.

Rank the top five by price per square foot rather than median and the order shifts. The Summit Club stays first at $2,362. But The Ridges moves up to second at $797, Tournament Hills drops to third at $686, Canyon Fairways holds fourth at $666, and the Southern Highlands Golf Club falls to fifth at $588.

Tournament Hills is the instructive case. Its $5,030,000 median puts it second in the city, but at $686 a foot it is buying size rather than an expensive rate: a 7,757 square foot median home, more than 3,000 square feet larger than the median Ridges home. The Ridges is the inverse, a smaller home at a higher rate, and its median lands $1,455,000 below Tournament Hills even though each square foot costs more.

Canyon Fairways and the Southern Highlands Golf Club show the same effect at a lower price point. Their medians sit just $25,000 apart, but Canyon Fairways closed at $666 a foot against $588 on a home of similar size. The mix explains it: Canyon Fairways' seven sales were all homes built between 1999 and 2002, while the Golf Club's 37 ran from a $990,000 home to the $12,000,000 Estates sale.

Which measure you should weight depends on what you are buying for. If the house is your home and you want room, median price and square footage matter most. If you are thinking about resale or about holding a scarce asset, price per square foot and sample depth are the better guides, because they tell you how the market values the land and the address rather than the building.

Which of the Five Fits Which Buyer?

After enough transactions at this level the sorting becomes fairly predictable, and it turns on four things: how much house you want, whether you want to build or buy finished, whether a club matters to you, and how much you care about being able to sell quickly.

If the club is the point — the golf, the private social membership, the level of service Discovery Land builds its communities around — it is The Summit Club, and you should be prepared for a purchase that involves more than a house. Its lowest single-family closing over the period was $10,700,000, the membership sits alongside the purchase, and a meaningful share of the best inventory moves privately.

If you want the most house, it is Tournament Hills: a 7,757 square foot median on large lots beside TPC Summerlin. Expect to wait and to negotiate. It sold slowest at a 118-day median, and its median sale closed at 91.5 percent of list.

If you want the most recognised address in Nevada and the architecture to match, it is The Ridges, and the price of entry is real — the lowest closing over the period was $1,750,000 and the median ran $3,575,000. What you get is genuinely custom contemporary building on view lots, inside the gate with the deepest sales history in the top five.

If you want golf, a gate and a south-valley location, it is the Southern Highlands Golf Club. It offers the widest range on the list, from $990,000 to $12,000,000, so it is the only top-five community with a genuine entry under a million, and its 37 sales give it real liquidity.

And if you want an established custom home that sells quickly, Canyon Fairways moved fastest of the five at a 37-day median, on homes built between 1999 and 2002, with entry just under $2 million.

What Should You Know Before Buying at This Level?

Five things that come up in nearly every transaction I handle above a million dollars, and that are different from the rest of the market.

Inventory is thin and much of it is quiet. In communities recording four to forty sales a year, a meaningful share of the best property is sold privately or with limited marketing. If you are shopping The Ridges or The Summit Club strictly off public listings, you are seeing part of the market. The working relationship matters more here than at any other price point.

The club and the house are separate purchases. At The Summit Club, Red Rock Country Club, Canyon Gate and Spanish Trail, golf or club membership carries its own initiation, its own dues and, in some cases, its own approval process. Price the membership before you fall in love with the house, and confirm whether it transfers with the sale or must be applied for.

Verify the parcel, not just the address. According to the Clark County Assessor, parcel records, lot dimensions and ownership history are public and searchable, and in communities where sub-parcels price very differently the parcel record is what tells you which one you are actually buying.

Read the HOA documents as carefully as the inspection. Guard-gated communities carry meaningful monthly assessments, architectural review committees that govern what you may change, and in the custom parcels, design guidelines that can constrain a renovation substantially. According to NRS 116.4109, the seller must deliver the resale package — declaration, bylaws, rules, current budget and reserve-study summary — and you may cancel within five calendar days of receiving it. Use that window rather than waiving it.

Appraisal behaves differently up here. With few comparable sales, appraisers reach further in time and distance, and at the top of a community's range there may be no true comparable at all. On new-construction purchases and on any home substantially above its neighborhood's median, plan for the appraisal to be a live issue rather than a formality.

Know which measure you are negotiating on. Sellers at this level quote price per square foot when it flatters them and absolute price when that does. The table above gives you both for the top five, which is usually enough to see which frame you are being handed.

If you want the current picture for a specific community — what is actually available, what closed in the last ninety days, and what is quietly for sale — call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 and we will pull it for the neighborhoods on your shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most expensive neighborhood in Las Vegas?

The Summit Club, measured by what single-family homes actually sold for. Across the twelve months from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026, its four single-family closings produced a $19,125,000 median at $2,362 per square foot, with sales from $10,700,000 to $25,000,000. Four sales is a thin sample, so the deeper answer matters too: among communities with more than seven sales, The Ridges led at a $3,575,000 median across 38 closings and $797 per square foot.

Are all the most expensive Las Vegas neighborhoods in Summerlin?

Four of the five are. The Summit Club, Tournament Hills, The Ridges and Canyon Fairways sit inside the Summerlin master plan; the Southern Highlands Golf Club, fourth at a $2,950,000 median, is the exception, in ZIP 89141 at the south end of the valley. Outside Summerlin, the largest single-family sales of the twelve months were $12,000,000 in the Estates at Southern Highlands and $11,750,000 for a 9.8-acre estate in the northwest valley.

What was the most expensive home sold in Las Vegas this year?

A $25,000,000 sale in The Summit Club, recorded in Summerlin Village 17, was the largest across the twelve months measured. Widen to 24 months and The Summit Club holds the top four residential sales in our data (one a $22,000,000 townhouse), topping out at $29,250,000. The Ridges reached $16,000,000. Outside Summerlin, the twelve-month ceiling was $12,000,000 in the gated Estates at Southern Highlands.

How much do you need to spend to buy in the top Las Vegas neighborhoods?

Entry points vary more than the medians suggest. The lowest single-family closing in each of the top five over the period was $10,700,000 in The Summit Club, $2,920,000 in Tournament Hills, $1,750,000 in The Ridges, $990,000 in the Southern Highlands Golf Club and $1,970,000 in Canyon Fairways. So the Southern Highlands Golf Club is the only top-five community with an entry under a million, while The Summit Club's single-family entry is eight figures. Budget separately for club membership where it applies.

Is Southern Highlands a luxury neighborhood?

Partly, and the distinction matters. Southern Highlands as a whole recorded 611 sales at a $610,000 median across 24 months in our earlier pull, which is a mainstream price. But the guard-gated Southern Highlands Golf Club inside it ranks fourth in Las Vegas, with 37 single-family closings at a $2,950,000 median, and homes inside its gate produced seven of the nine largest non-Summerlin sales of the twelve months, topped by $12,000,000. It is a large master plan with a genuine luxury core, so the gate you buy behind matters more than the master plan name.

What percentage of Las Vegas homes sell for over $1 million?

About 9 percent. Of the 13,886 single-family homes with a Las Vegas address that closed between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026, 1,277 sold at $1 million or more and 320 above $2 million, against a median of $484,000. Nine of every ten homes traded below a million. The tier above $5 million is far thinner still, with 41 sales in the twelve months, which is why buyers at that level frequently wait months for suitable inventory.

Which is better value, Tournament Hills or The Ridges?

They are different purchases rather than better and worse. Tournament Hills delivers the largest median home in the top five at 7,757 square feet for $686 per square foot, in 1990s custom estates beside TPC Summerlin, but it sold slowest at a 118-day median. The Ridges costs $797 per square foot, about 16 percent more, for a 4,618 square foot median home with a 2015 median build year, and what you buy with that premium is newer custom architecture, view lots and far more sales to compare against. For space per dollar, Tournament Hills wins.

Do the most expensive Las Vegas neighborhoods hold their value?

The measured evidence here covers pricing at a point in time rather than appreciation, so I will not claim a trend I have not tested. What the data does show is depth: The Ridges with 38 closings and the Southern Highlands Golf Club with 37 are the most liquid top-five markets, and Red Rock Country Club, 14th on median price, is the deepest luxury market in the city at 72. The thinnest are The Summit Club at four sales and Tournament Hills at five, and Tournament Hills is the slowest to sell at a median 118 days.

Which Sources Inform This Las Vegas Neighborhood Ranking?

Every price, count and ratio above was measured directly from GLVAR-fed MLS data re-pulled through Repliers on October 26, 2026 and counted by closing date. The main ranking covers all closed single-family sales with a Las Vegas address between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026 — 13,886 transactions at a $484,000 median, of which 1,277 closed at $1,000,000 or more and 320 above $2,000,000. That address is the MLS city field, so it includes unincorporated Clark County areas such as Southern Highlands as well as the City of Las Vegas. Communities follow the same boundaries as our guard-gated market reports: The Summit Club is the Summerlin Village 17 plats, with Village 17A (The Peaks/Ascension) counted separately; The Ridges is the Village 18 parcels behind its gates, excluding the Echo Ridge, Southstar and Sunset Ridge tracts outside them; and the Southern Highlands Golf Club is the homes inside the Clark County Assessor's common-area boundary of its master association. Only communities with at least four twelve-month closings were ranked, and ties are broken first on sales count and then on median price per square foot. We also checked every recorded subdivision outside those boundaries; none with four or more closings had a median above $2.9 million. The Summit Club's four closings, Eagle Hills' four and Tournament Hills' five are thin samples, and one sale can move any of them substantially.

This edition replaces the ranking first published on September 13, 2026. That version grouped The Peaks/Ascension with The Summit Club, which produced a 45-sale, $2,375,000 "Summit Club" figure, and it missed several gated enclaves that met the four-closing floor, including Tournament Hills, Eagle Hills, Canyon Fairways and the Southern Highlands Golf Club. The 24-month Southern Highlands master-plan figure and the 24-month top-sale facts come from that earlier pull.

Median price per square foot is calculated per transaction and then taken as the median of those values, rather than dividing one median by another, which avoids the distortion that arises when a community's largest homes are also its most expensive. Live inventory changes daily; the Las Vegas, Summerlin and luxury communities pages carry current listings.

Community background is drawn from the developers, clubs and associations themselves: the Howard Hughes Corporation for the Summerlin master plan and its villages, Discovery Land Company for The Summit Club, Robert Trent Jones II for the Southern Highlands course, the Las Vegas Review-Journal for the TPC Summerlin tour history, and the respective club and homeowner associations for Red Rock Country Club, Canyon Gate and Spanish Trail. Statutory points on resale packages and the buyer's cancellation right come from NRS 116.4109. Market context from Las Vegas REALTORS.
