Mountain's Edge is a master-planned community in unincorporated Enterprise, on the southwest edge of the Las Vegas valley, and its master association says it now holds more than 12,500 residences. In our own pull of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers on October 5, 2026, the plats named for Mountain's Edge closed 249 homes at a $448,000 median in the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, which is the number buyers usually want first. The second thing they want is a comparison with Summerlin, and this guide now has one.
I rebuilt this guide on October 5, 2026. The earlier version described the parks as association-run, quoted school ratings and sub-neighborhood names I could not trace to any record, and gave Red Rock drive times our road model does not support. Every figure below now comes from a page I opened that day, from our own dated MLS pull, or from our road model (drive times re-run October 26, 2026), and where an official source and a developer disagree, I show both.
Mountain's Edge is southwest Las Vegas's lower-priced master plan: plats named for it closed 249 homes at a $448,000 median, $233 per square foot, in the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, per our own MLS pull. The master assessment is $135 a quarter, its SID bonds matured in 2023, and Clark County owns its parks. Summerlin costs more and sits closer to Red Rock, so compare total monthly cost before choosing.
- Plats named for Mountain's Edge closed 249 homes at a $448,000 median in the 12 months ending August 2026.
- On October 5, 2026, 102 homes were available at a $525,000 median ask, and 46.1% had cut price.
- The master association charges $135 a quarter, and 39 sub-associations can add their own dues on top.
- Clark County owns the parks; the association maintains three of them, and County park rules apply.
- Summerlin's four core ZIPs ran a $650,245 median; Downtown Summerlin is 6.4 road miles (our road model) from Red Rock.
What Is Mountain's Edge, and Who Developed It?
Mountain's Edge is a master-planned community inside the unincorporated town of Enterprise, which means it is governed by the Clark County Commission rather than a city council, even though its homes carry Las Vegas mailing addresses. According to Clark County's comprehensive planning library, the Board of County Commissioners approved the plan in September 2002, and the project area sits generally south of Blue Diamond Road and west of Rainbow Boulevard. The same County page says the plan was developed with about 700 acres for public facilities, including parks, schools and a fire station.
Acreage is the first place the sources disagree. The County page puts the project area at approximately 2,500 acres, yet its own land-use figures, about 2,150 acres residential, 114 office, 150 commercial and 700 for public facilities, add up to about 3,114 acres. According to Focus Property Group's Mountain's Edge page, the plan began as "3,500 acres of raw land in the southwest Las Vegas Valley," and the developer calls Mountain's Edge the fastest-selling master-planned community in Nevada, which is its own marketing. I could not find a document that reconciles these acreage figures, so I treat the size as approximate and lean on the home count instead.
That home count comes from the Mountain's Edge Master Association's About page, which describes more than 12,500 residences and three parks. The County page adds one more detail buyers rarely hear: in January 2022 the Board of County Commissioners cancelled the Mountain's Edge Development Agreement, so new development is now reviewed against the County's Master Plan, its Title 30 development code and the plan's modified development standards. In practice the community is a resale market today. The MLS spells the name without the apostrophe, as "Mountains Edge," which matters when you search plat names, and in our pull every closing carried either the 89178 ZIP code (170 sales) or 89179 (79 sales).
Where Is Mountain's Edge, and How Long Are the Drives?
Mountain's Edge sits at the southwest corner of the valley, generally south of Blue Diamond Road and west of Rainbow Boulevard, per the County's description, with the Spring Mountains rising to the west. Because it lies inside the unincorporated town of Enterprise, buyers often tour it alongside other Enterprise neighborhoods outside the master plan, and our Enterprise area page covers those listings. Where you buy inside the plan also changes the drive, as the table below shows.
To measure drives without guessing, we ran fixed reference points through our own free-flow road model on OpenStreetMap road data on October 26, 2026. Each time is a range, from posted speed limits to a slower run with signal stops, and neither includes traffic, so treat them as a floor, not a rush-hour promise. From Mountain's Edge Regional Park, on Mountains Edge Parkway, Caesars Palace at the center of the Strip is 12.7 miles and about 16 to 24 minutes away, and Terminal 1 at Harry Reid International Airport is 12.4 miles and about 17 to 24 minutes. From the master association's office at 8015 Blue Diamond Road, near the plan's northern edge, both trips are about two to three minutes shorter.
| Destination | From Mountain's Edge Regional Park | From Blue Diamond Rd (association office) | From Downtown Summerlin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caesars Palace (center Strip) | 12.7 mi, 16–24 min | 11.3 mi, 13–21 min | 11.4 mi, 16–26 min |
| Harry Reid Airport, Terminal 1 | 12.4 mi, 17–24 min | 11.0 mi, 15–21 min | 14.7 mi, 20–25 min |
| Smith Center (downtown Las Vegas) | 15.9 mi, 18–27 min | 14.6 mi, 16–24 min | 12.3 mi, 15–20 min |
| Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center | 17.5 mi, 22–27 min | 17.2 mi, 20–26 min | 6.4 mi, 9–13 min |
The pattern is simple. Mountain's Edge is closer to the airport than Summerlin is, and roughly even on the center Strip, while Summerlin wins on downtown and wins easily on Red Rock. If your commute runs to the airport or the center Strip, the southwest location works in your favor. Test the drive at the hour you would actually make it before you write an offer.
What Did Homes Sell for in Mountain's Edge Over the Past 12 Months?
Our own pull of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers on October 5, 2026 counted 249 closed sales from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026 in plats whose MLS names include "Mountains Edge," in ZIP codes 89178, 89141 and 89179. The median sold price was $448,000, the median price per square foot was $233 (the average was $239), and the median home had 1,943 square feet of living space on a lot of about 4,356 square feet. That is the same plat definition our Las Vegas neighborhood comparison guide used on October 4, and it produces the same 249 sales and $448,000 median, so the two posts carry one number for the same fact. That name-based count includes 10 sales in two plats that share the name but sit outside the master plan, as the neighborhoods section explains. Inside the plan's boundary as Clark County describes it, 239 closings ran a $445,000 median, and 213 single-family homes ran $457,000.
| Home type | Closings | Median sold price | Median price per sq ft | Median sq ft | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All homes | 249 | $448,000 | $233 | 1,943 | 35 |
| Single-family | 223 | $465,000 | $234 | 1,991 | 35 |
| Townhomes | 24 | $360,000 | $235 | 1,559 | 33 |
| Condominiums | 2 | $336,000 | $208 | 1,627 | 38 |
Single-family homes are the market here: 223 of the 249 sales, or about 90%, with 26 attached homes. Prices spread wider than the median suggests. In the same window, 51 homes sold under $400,000, 109 sold between $400,000 and $499,999, 38 between $500,000 and $599,999, 33 between $600,000 and $799,999, and 18 at $800,000 or more, with a range of $315,000 to $1,200,000. The median sale closed at 99.2% of its final list price; 55.8% of sales closed below list and 20.1% above it.
The housing stock is consistent in age. The median home was built in 2007; 144 of the 249 were built in 2009 or earlier, 97 between 2010 and 2019, and only 8 in 2020 or later, all of them in the Fort Apache and Mountains Edge plats outside the master plan. Most are two-story (187 of 249), with 50 single-story homes. For valley context, according to Las Vegas REALTORS' August 2026 report, as published by Nevada Business, the median existing single-family home in Southern Nevada sold for $475,000 in August 2026, down 1.0% from a year earlier. That is a single month and a valley-wide figure, so set it beside the Mountain's Edge single-family median of $465,000 as a rough guide, not a like-for-like comparison.
Two cautions on the count. August 2026 is provisional, because late closings are still posting, and the MLS feed under-reports September 2025 and over-reports January 2026 valley-wide, so treat 249 as approximate rather than exact.
What Is for Sale in Mountain's Edge Right Now?
The same plat definition returned 111 active listings on October 5, 2026. Nine of them were already under contract, which leaves 102 homes available to buy. Their median asking price was $525,000 and the median ask per square foot was $238; 99 of the 102 were single-family homes, and asks ran from $330,999 to $1,225,000. Ten of the 111 sit in the two outside plats; inside the plan there were 101 active listings, 93 of them available at a $499,900 median ask.
The gap between that $525,000 median ask and the $448,000 median sale is worth reading correctly. Asking prices are not sales, and the homes for sale now are larger than the homes that sold: a median of 2,252 square feet against 1,943. Age on market tells the rest. Measured from each listing's list date, not from the feed's days-on-market field (which stops counting at a listing's last update), the median available home had been listed for 47 days. Thirteen were listed within the past 14 days, 35 had been listed for 60 days or more and 19 for 90 days or more. Those 35 older listings had a $579,999 median ask and 2,337 square feet, against $498,000 and 2,083 square feet for the 67 listed more recently, so the larger, pricier homes are the ones sitting.
Price cuts tell the same story. Of the 102 available homes, 47, or 46.1%, had cut their asking price at least once, by a median of $18,000, about 3.2% of the original ask. That share is almost identical to the 46.7% of Summerlin-corridor listings carrying a cut on September 15, 2026, in our Summerlin market report for September 2026, so sellers in both places were trimming asks at about the same rate this fall.
At the past year's pace of about 21 closings a month, 102 available homes is roughly five months of supply by our rough measure. According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the valley's sales pace in August 2026 equated to just over four and a half months of supply. The two figures are built differently, one from a single month valley-wide and ours from a 12-month average for one community, so read them as the same general range rather than a precise gap. For a buyer, that combination of 46% of sellers already cutting and five months of inventory means room to negotiate on price, closing costs or repairs, especially on homes past the 60-day mark. For a seller, it means pricing to the closed $448,000 to $465,000 range rather than to the active asks around you.
Which Neighborhoods and Plats Make Up Mountain's Edge?
Mountain's Edge is not one homeowners association. According to the master association's community information page, the plan is made up of several individual communities, also called sub-associations, and not all of them are overseen by the master association. Concerns inside gated communities or neighborhood-specific areas can fall to the sub-association and its management company, and private roads are owned and maintained by sub-associations, while public roads are maintained by Clark County.
The association publishes two lists. Its sub-association list names 39 sub-associations with their management companies, from Alturas and Beacon Hill to Quintessa, Stonehurst and Yellowstone. Its benefitted neighborhoods list names 25 neighborhoods, including Aspire, Chaco Canyon, Coldwater Crossing and Tierra Vista, where the master association maintains the common areas. Which list a house falls on tells you whether a second set of dues and rules is likely, so check it before you tour.
| Plat group (MLS name) | Closings | Median sold price | Years built | On the master association's lists |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chaco Canyon | 25 | $455,000 | 2006–2009 | Benefitted neighborhood |
| Yellowstone | 20 | $530,000 | 2005–2008 | Sub-association |
| Pod 144 | 13 | $410,000 | 2006–2010 | Not named (plat number) |
| Quintessa | 11 | $450,000 | 2006–2017 | Sub-association |
| Maravilla | 11 | $420,000 | 2006–2013 | Sub-association |
| Pod 101 (attached homes) | 11 | $335,000 | 2007–2019 | Not named (plat number) |
| Stonehurst | 10 | $435,500 | 2007–2013 | Sub-association |
| Tierra Vista | 10 | $510,000 | 2012–2013 | Benefitted neighborhood |
| Pods 224 and 225 | 9 | $448,000 | 2012–2014 | Not named (plat number) |
| Fort Apache and Mountains Edge (outside the master plan) | 8 | $782,000 | 2022–2024 | Not on either list; 7 of 8 sales name a Desert Edge association |
The table shows how much the plat matters. Yellowstone's 20 sales ran $530,000 while Pod 144's 13 ran $410,000, a $120,000 difference inside the same master plan. Attached plats anchor the low end, such as Pod 101 at $335,000 across 11 sales and Beacon Hill at $386,750 across 8 townhome sales, and the 2022 to 2024 homes in the Fort Apache and Mountains Edge plats sit at the top at $782,000. Those plats share the name but sit outside the master plan. The Clark County Assessor's section grid places all eight closings and all nine active listings in Section 30 of Township 22 South, Range 60 East, west of Fort Apache Road, while the County's planning page describes Mountain's Edge as the southern halves of Sections 21 and 22, most of Section 29 and all of Sections 27, 28 and 34. Seven of the eight closed listings also name a Desert Edge or Deserts Edge association rather than a Mountain's Edge sub-association. Two more closings, in the Mountains Edge 15 plat, sit in Section 26, east of Rainbow Boulevard, with associations that appear on neither master-association list. A name in the MLS is not membership, so confirm the association in the resale package.
One more reason to check the lists: older guides, including an earlier version of this one, described sub-neighborhoods called Cornerstone, Suncrest, Canyons Edge and Vistas at Mountains Edge. None of those names appears on either association list or among the plat names in our MLS pull, so I removed them. In the MLS amenities field, 101 of the 249 closed listings were tagged as gated, which matches the association's note that some sub-associations run gates on private roads.
What Does the Mountain's Edge Master Association Charge?
The master assessment is modest. According to the Mountain's Edge Master Association's assessments page, the 2026 quarterly assessment is $135, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, which works out to $45 a month. A $35 late fee posts if payment is not received within 30 days and an additional $105 if it is not received within 60 days. The same page warns that additional assessments may apply to your specific neighborhood, which is the sub-association layer from the previous section. On the 249 closed listings in our pull, $135 was the most common entry in the MLS HOA-fee field, appearing on 87 of them.
Resale costs are listed too. According to the association's resale information page, an owner-to-owner sale carries a $270 capital contribution, the Nevada resale disclosure package costs $202.14, a statement of demand costs $162.29 and expedite fees run $100. Those are master-association charges; a sub-association will have its own. Nevada law gives the buyer a real protection here. Under NRS 116.4109, a purchaser may cancel the contract by written notice until midnight of the fifth calendar day after receiving the resale package, and under subsection 7 an association may charge no more than $165 to prepare a statement of demand, plus up to $100 to deliver it within three business days; both caps may rise each year with the Consumer Price Index, by no more than 3%.
For perspective on what $135 a quarter buys, compare Inspirada in Henderson and Summerlin. According to the Inspirada Community Association, every Inspirada owner pays a base assessment of $255 a quarter in 2026, with extra quarterly charges in gated areas, as our Inspirada buyer's guide explains. Summerlin's master associations bill monthly, at $74, $76 or $69 depending on area, covered in the comparison section below. Mountain's Edge is the cheapest of the three at the master level, but the total you pay depends on the sub-association, so ask for the full assessment stack in writing before you remove contingencies.
Who Owns, Runs and Maintains the Parks in Mountain's Edge?
This is the correction that matters most. The earlier version of this guide described the parks as association amenities. They are not. According to the master association's park information page, Mountain's Edge has three community parks, Exploration Peak Park, Nathaniel Jones Park and Paiute Park, which are owned by Clark County; the master association is responsible for their ongoing maintenance, funded in part by residents' assessments, and all three operate under Clark County park rules as well as the association's own rules. The same page says Mountain's Edge Regional Park is not part of the master association at all; it is owned, managed and maintained entirely by Clark County.
| Park | Owner | Maintained by | Listed features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exploration Peak Park | Clark County | Master association | Nearly 80 acres, 24 developed; 2,846-foot peak with trails; playground, splash pad, pickleball courts, pavilions |
| Nathaniel Jones Park | Clark County | Master association | Playground, splash pad, the community's only dog park |
| Paiute Park | Clark County | Master association | Playground, basketball court, volleyball court |
| Mountain's Edge Regional Park | Clark County | Clark County | Large sports fields, trails, large picnic areas; about 55 more acres funded for development |
Exploration Peak Park is what the association calls the community's premier park. According to Clark County's park locator, Exploration Park covers nearly 80 acres, with 24 developed acres and the rest kept as open space and trails, and its focal point is the 2,846-foot Exploration Peak, with walking and bike trails to the top. The County describes a custom Old West setting with building replicas and a covered-wagon play structure, a water play area, a horseshoe pit and an outdoor amphitheater.
The Regional Park has funding to expand. According to a Clark County announcement, reported by the Las Vegas Sun on October 31, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Interior in October 2024 awarded the County $43,618,352 through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act to develop about 55 acres of Mountain's Edge Regional Park, adding a soccer complex, a pickleball complex and a community botanical garden and realigning the walking loop. The park's County locator entry lists large sports fields, trails and large picnic areas today.
The rules follow ownership. According to Clark County Parks and Recreation, most County parks are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet. On top of that, the association requires its approval for gatherings of 75 people or more in the three parks it maintains, limits tents to 10 by 10 feet without approval, bans staking and does not allow inflatables or bounce houses. Because the County owns these parks, and lists Exploration Peak Park and Nathaniel Jones Park in its public park locator, they are not private amenities reserved for owners.
Does Mountain's Edge Still Have a SID, and What Tax Rate Applies?
The master plan's special improvement district appears to be paid off. Clark County financed infrastructure for the plan through Special Improvement District No. 142 (Mountain's Edge), which issued $92,360,000 of local improvement bonds dated December 4, 2003, according to the County's June 30, 2010 continuing-disclosure report. The County's June 30, 2021 annual report shows the district's later $49,445,000 bond series, dated August 1, 2012, with a final maturity of August 1, 2023; as of June 30, 2021, the district covered 5,929 parcels with $8,875,402 of unpaid assessments.
Two current documents line up with a retired district. The County's June 30, 2024 annual report lists outstanding land-secured assessment bonds for districts 128A, 151, 159, 121 and 162A, and District 142 is no longer among them. And the Assessment Management Group billing schedule, which administers these districts, lists no Mountain's Edge district among the Clark County assessment districts it bills.
That matters because a SID is a lien, not a fee. According to the Clark County Treasurer, a special assessment stays a lien on the property until it is paid off, is billed separately from property taxes, usually semi-annually, and the County begins foreclosure within 60 days of a delinquency. A paid-off district removes that line from the budget entirely.
My advice is still to check the parcel, not the plan. Look up the APN with Assessment Management Group and read the preliminary title report, because a parcel can sit in a district that has nothing to do with the master plan. For contrast, the same AMG schedule lists Southern Highlands' County District 121 with a final payment on October 1, 2029, and several Summerlin districts that run into the 2050s, which I cover in the Summerlin comparison below. Henderson's Cadence says on its FAQ page that it has no SID or LID fees, as our Cadence buyer's guide notes, so Mountain's Edge is not the only plan without one.
What property-tax rate do Mountain's Edge parcels pay?
Mountain's Edge homes pay the Enterprise township rate, not the City of Las Vegas rate. In our lookup of the Clark County Assessor's parcel map on October 5, 2026, nearly all parcels in and around the master plan fell in Enterprise tax districts 635 and 625, with a smaller group in district 636. According to the Clark County Treasurer's tax-rate table, districts 625 and 635 carry a fiscal 2026-27 rate of 2.9328 per $100 of assessed value, unchanged from the two prior years, and district 636 carries 2.9278.
The rate applies to assessed value, not to the price you pay. Under NRS 361.225, all taxable property is assessed at 35% of its taxable value, and that taxable value is set by the Assessor, not by your purchase price. As a worked example, every $100,000 of taxable value becomes $35,000 of assessed value, and at 2.9328 that is $1,026.48 of tax before any abatement. Your actual bill depends on the home's taxable value, which the Assessor publishes by parcel.
The abatement matters more than the rate. Under NRS 361.4723, the owner of a single-family home that is the owner's primary residence is entitled to an abatement that limits the yearly increase in the tax bill to 3%, and NRS 361.4722 sets the general cap of up to 8% for other property. A sale does not reset the base, but the new owner must claim the 3% primary-residence cap; until that claim is made, the higher cap can apply. File the claim as soon as you close.
Summerlin, for comparison, splits across two rates. The same Treasurer table puts Summerlin Town, district 421, an unincorporated town, at the same 2.9328, and Las Vegas City, district 200, at 3.2782. So a Mountain's Edge home and an unincorporated Summerlin home pay the same rate, while a Summerlin home inside city limits pays about 0.35 more per $100 of assessed value.
How Does Mountain's Edge Compare With Summerlin?
Here is the Summerlin comparison, line by line. For Summerlin I use its four core ZIP codes, 89134, 89135, 89138 and 89144, the definition our Summerlin vs Inspirada comparison uses, with figures from the same October 5, 2026 pull and the same 12-month window as the Mountain's Edge numbers, so the two posts carry one number for each fact. A ZIP boundary is not a master-plan boundary, so treat the Summerlin column as close, not exact. A wider cut gives the same answer: the seven-ZIP corridor our monthly market reports track, which adds 89129, 89145 and 89149, recorded 4,107 closings at a $551,454 median in the same window, still about $103,500 above Mountain's Edge. Our Summerlin versus Skye Canyon comparison counts Summerlin by plat name instead, over a different window.
| Measure | Mountain's Edge (plats named for it) | Summerlin (ZIPs 89134, 89135, 89138, 89144) |
|---|---|---|
| Closed sales, 12 months | 249 | 2,453 |
| Median sold price | $448,000 | $650,245 |
| Single-family median | $465,000 (223 sales) | $732,000 (1,925 sales) |
| Average sold price per sq ft | $239 | $373 |
| Median days on market, closed sales | 35 | 35 |
| Available listings and median ask, October 5, 2026 | 102 at $525,000 | 1,021 at $708,253 |
| Master assessment, 2026 | $135 a quarter | $74 (North), $76 (South) or $69 (West) a month |
| Special improvement districts | District 142 matured August 1, 2023 | City of Las Vegas Summerlin districts with final payments from 2031 to 2055; County 159 to 2035 |
| Tax rate per $100 assessed, FY2026-27 | 2.9328 (Enterprise districts 625 and 635); 2.9278 in district 636 | 2.9328 (Summerlin Town) or 3.2782 (Las Vegas City) |
| Parks and trails | Three County parks the association maintains, plus the County regional park | More than 300 parks, including 30 regional parks; more than 200 miles of trails |
| Drive to Harry Reid Terminal 1 | 12.4 mi, 17–24 min | 14.7 mi, 20–25 min (Downtown Summerlin) |
| Drive to Red Rock visitor center | 17.5 mi, 22–27 min | 6.4 mi, 9–13 min (Downtown Summerlin) |
| Closings built 2025 or later | None of 249 | 9% (231 of 2,448 with a year built); seven villages actively selling |
On price, Mountain's Edge is about $202,200 cheaper at the median and $267,000 cheaper for a single-family home, and it costs about $134 less per square foot on average. Homes sell at the same pace, a 35-day median in both, and the asking-price gap on October 5, 2026 was wider still: $525,000 against $708,253.
On dues, Mountain's Edge is cheaper at the master level. According to the Summerlin Council's December 2025 newsletter, the 2026 monthly master assessment is $74 in Summerlin North, $76 in Summerlin South and $69 in Summerlin West, which is $207 to $228 a quarter against $135 in Mountain's Edge. Our Summerlin HOA fee guide covers the village layers on top.
On special districts, the gap is wider. The Assessment Management Group schedule lists City of Las Vegas Summerlin districts 808 through 819; the active ones have final payments from 2031 (districts 808 and 810) to 2055 (district 819), with payments due April 1 and October 1, plus County districts 159 (Summerlin Village 16A, to 2035) and 128A (Summerlin Centre, to 2030). Homes inside those districts carry the lien until it is paid off; Mountain's Edge's master district has matured.
On amenities, Summerlin is in another class. According to Summerlin's trails page, the community has more than 200 miles of trails and plans to pass 250, and its history page counts more than 300 parks, including 30 regional parks. Summerlin also sits next to Red Rock: Downtown Summerlin is 6.4 miles from the visitor center, against 17.5 miles from Mountain's Edge Regional Park. If daily trail use and Red Rock access are why you are moving, the premium buys something real. If price, airport access and a lower carrying cost come first, Mountain's Edge buys more square footage per dollar.
Is There New Construction in Mountain's Edge in 2026?
Very little, and the data shows it plainly. None of the 249 closings in our pull for the 12 months ending August 31, 2026 was built in 2025 or later. Eight were built from 2022 to 2024, all in the Fort Apache and Mountains Edge plats, which share the name but sit outside the master plan; they closed between $697,000 and $941,000, at a $782,000 median. Inside the plan, no closing in the window was built after 2019. Among the 111 active listings on October 5, 2026, nine were built from 2022 to 2024, all in those same outside plats; inside the plan, the newest active home was built in 2018. With the County's development agreement cancelled in 2022 and no 2025-or-newer homes in our data, Mountain's Edge is a resale market.
If brand new is a requirement, one west-side option is Summerlin. On October 5, 2026, Summerlin's villages page listed seven villages actively selling: Grand Park, Kestrel, Kestrel Commons, La Madre Peaks, Redpoint Square, Summerlin Centre and The Peaks. Its inventory filter showed 130 homes that day, 14 of them priced from $425,000 to $550,000 and 41 at $1,250,000 and up. In the same 12 months that produced no new homes in Mountain's Edge, 9% of the closings in Summerlin's four core ZIP codes (231 of 2,448 with a year built) were homes built in 2025 or later.
Henderson has its own pipeline. Our report on Inspirada's final 75 homes tracks the last phases of that plan, and our new construction page follows the active builder communities valley-wide.
The trade-off is the usual one. A resale in Mountain's Edge at a $448,000 median usually comes with established landscaping and parks that are already open, but it is likely to be about 18 to 20 years old, so the inspection should focus on the original roof, water heater and air-conditioning equipment. A new Summerlin home usually brings a builder warranty and current energy code, but it costs more and often carries a special improvement district assessment for decades. Price both as a monthly cost, including dues and any assessment, before deciding.
How Close Is Mountain's Edge to Red Rock Canyon, Really?
Not as close as older guides claimed. The earlier version of this guide said 12 to 18 minutes to the Red Rock scenic drive. Our free-flow road model (October 26, 2026, no traffic) puts the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center 17.5 miles and about 22 to 27 minutes from Mountain's Edge Regional Park, and 17.2 miles and about 20 to 26 minutes from the association's office on Blue Diamond Road. From Downtown Summerlin the same trip is 6.4 miles and about 9 to 13 minutes, and from the Ladera neighborhood in Summerlin's The Mesa village it is 11.1 miles and about 15 to 21 minutes.
Plan around the reservation system as much as the drive. According to the Bureau of Land Management, timed-entry reservations are required for the Scenic Drive from October 1 through May 31 for entry between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., booked through Recreation.gov. The BLM describes Red Rock as Nevada's first National Conservation Area, designated in 1990, with a 13-mile scenic drive and more than three million visitors a year.
For everyday hiking, Mountain's Edge has its own peak. Trails inside Exploration Park lead to the top of the 2,846-foot Exploration Peak, and the master association describes the climb as a short, scenic hike with panoramic views of the Las Vegas valley. Its amenities page also notes paseos and walking trails threaded through the neighborhoods. That covers a morning walk; Red Rock is a weekend trip.
If living next to Red Rock is the point, look at the Summerlin villages on the western edge, such as The Ridges, where our Ridges lot-selection guide covers custom building. If you want lower prices and can live with a 20-to-27-minute drive to the visitor center, Mountain's Edge keeps Red Rock within a half-hour without traffic.
What Will a Mountain's Edge Home Cost Each Month?
Start with the mortgage, because it is most of the payment. According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.28% for the week of October 1, 2026, up from 7.03% a week earlier, and the 15-year averaged 6.60%. At 7.28% with 20% down, principal and interest on the $448,000 Mountain's Edge median comes to about $2,452 a month on a $358,400 loan; the down payment is $89,600. On the $465,000 single-family median, it is about $2,545. The same math on Summerlin's $650,245 four-ZIP median comes to about $3,559 a month.
Add the layers. The Mountain's Edge master assessment adds $45 a month ($135 a quarter), plus any sub-association dues. Property tax depends on the home's taxable value; as the tax section shows, it is $1,026.48 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value at the 2.9328 rate, before the 3% abatement. Homeowners insurance varies by home and carrier, so get a quote on the specific address. There is no special improvement district payment from the master plan's own district, which matured in 2023.
Put together, the difference between Mountain's Edge and Summerlin is larger than the price gap alone. At 7.28% the principal-and-interest gap between the two medians is about $1,107 a month, and a Summerlin buyer may also carry a monthly master assessment of $69 to $76 and, in newer villages, a special assessment billed twice a year.
If you are putting down less than 20%, our analysis of Las Vegas down payments walks through the options, and our first-time buyer page is the place to start. Freddie Mac's survey does not publish FHA or VA rates, so get a lender quote for those loans; every payment in this section uses the 7.28% conventional 30-year average.
What Should You Check Before Making an Offer in Mountain's Edge?
Start with the association layers. Find the house on the master association's sub-association list or its benefitted neighborhoods list, ask the listing agent for the sub-association's dues and rules, and confirm whether the street is a public road maintained by Clark County or a private road maintained by a sub-association. Under NRS 116.4109, the resale package must include each association's operating budget with a summary of its reserves and a statement of all current and expected fees, so a sub-association that maintains private roads and gates will show those costs there. Read it inside the five-day cancellation window the same statute gives you, and budget the master association's $270 capital contribution in your closing costs.
Then check the money that follows the parcel. Even though District 142 has matured, look up the APN with Assessment Management Group and read the preliminary title report for any assessment lien. After closing, claim the 3% primary-residence tax cap under NRS 361.4723 with the Assessor, because a sale does not carry the previous owner's claim forward.
Check the house for its age. With a median build year of 2007, most homes are approaching 20 years old, so ask for the age of the roof, the water heater and the heating and air-conditioning equipment, and have them inspected. Two-story homes make up 187 of the 249 recent sales, so if you need a single-story plan, expect a smaller pool: 50 sales in the past year.
Check the schools by address, not by neighborhood name. Attendance zones in a plan this size can change from one street to the next, so put the exact address into the Clark County School District zoning search and confirm the assigned schools before you write an offer. I do not publish school ratings; the district's search tells you which schools an address is zoned for.
Finally, price your offer against closings, not asks. With 46.1% of available homes already cut and roughly five months of supply as of October 5, 2026, use the $448,000 overall and $465,000 single-family medians, plus the specific plat's recent sales from the table above, as your anchor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mountain's Edge part of the City of Las Vegas?
No. Mountain's Edge sits in the unincorporated town of Enterprise, governed by the Clark County Commission, even though its homes have Las Vegas mailing addresses. That affects your tax rate: most parcels fall in Enterprise tax districts 625 and 635, at 2.9328 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal 2026-27, according to the Clark County Treasurer. Roads are maintained by Clark County unless they are private roads inside a sub-association, and the parks are County-owned.
How much is the HOA in Mountain's Edge?
The master association charges $135 a quarter in 2026, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Many homes also pay a sub-association: the association lists 39 sub-associations, and its assessments page warns that additional neighborhood assessments may apply. On a resale, the master association charges a $270 capital contribution, $202.14 for the resale disclosure package and $162.29 for a statement of demand. Ask for the full dues stack on the specific address before you remove contingencies.
Who maintains Exploration Peak Park?
The master association maintains it, but Clark County owns it. According to the association's park page, Exploration Peak, Nathaniel Jones and Paiute parks are County-owned, maintained by the master association with help from owners' assessments, and run under County park rules plus the association's own rules. Mountain's Edge Regional Park is different: it is owned, managed and maintained entirely by Clark County and is not part of the master association.
Does Mountain's Edge still have a SID?
The master plan's district appears to be retired. Clark County Special Improvement District No. 142 financed the plan's infrastructure with $92,360,000 of 2003 bonds, and its later 2012 bond series had a final maturity of August 1, 2023. The County's June 30, 2024 annual report no longer lists District 142 among outstanding bonds, and the Assessment Management Group schedule lists no Mountain's Edge district. Still check the specific parcel's APN and title report before closing.
What is the median home price in Mountain's Edge?
In our own pull of Las Vegas MLS data through Repliers on October 5, 2026, plats named for Mountain's Edge closed 249 homes at a $448,000 median in the 12 months ending August 31, 2026, with August still provisional. Single-family homes ran $465,000 across 223 sales, and the median price per square foot was $233. Available listings on October 5, 2026 had a higher $525,000 median ask, and 46.1% of them had cut price.
Is Mountain's Edge cheaper than Summerlin?
Yes, on price and dues. In the same 12 months, Summerlin's four core ZIP codes, 89134, 89135, 89138 and 89144, closed 2,453 homes at a $650,245 median against $448,000 in Mountain's Edge, and the average price per square foot was $373 against $239. Summerlin's master assessment is $69 to $76 a month against $135 a quarter. Summerlin offers more than 300 parks and more than 200 miles of trails, and Downtown Summerlin is 6.4 miles from Red Rock's visitor center.
Is Mountain's Edge a gated community?
Not as a whole. The master plan has public streets maintained by Clark County, but some sub-associations own private roads and run gates, according to the master association's community information page. In our MLS pull, 101 of the 249 closed listings in the past 12 months were tagged as gated in the community amenities field. If you want a gated street, filter by sub-association and confirm the gate and road reserves in the resale package.
How Can Our Team Help You Buy or Sell in Mountain's Edge?
If you are buying, we can start with the work in this guide applied to your budget. We can pull the closed sales for the exact plat you like, show you which homes are on the sub-association list and which are benefitted neighborhoods, request the dues stack and resale package early, and check the APN for any assessment lien before you are committed. We can also set up a tour that puts a Mountain's Edge resale next to a Summerlin home at a similar payment, so you can see what the $202,200 median gap buys on each side.
If you are selling, we can price your home against the closings in your plat rather than the active asks around you, which matters in a market where 46.1% of available listings had already cut price on October 5, 2026. We can tell you how your home's age, story count and lot compare with the 249 recent sales, and order the master association's resale package early so a buyer's five-day review window does not slow the escrow.
