If you're shopping for a brand-new home in Las Vegas, the odds are you'll end up in the southwest valley — the Enterprise corridor that wraps around Town Square, the new UnCommons district, and the 215 Beltway. It's the busiest new-construction market in the metro, and for good reason: it's close to the airport and the Strip, threaded by the Beltway, and stacked with fresh retail, dining, and entertainment that didn't exist five years ago. Right now there are roughly 185 brand-new homes for sale across the southwest's core ZIP codes, priced from the high $300s into the seven figures, built by nearly every national builder operating in Nevada.
This guide is built on live Multiple Listing Service data pulled the week it published, cross-referenced with the roughly 9,600 closings our team has represented across the valley. Below you'll find exactly how much new inventory exists, what it costs by price band and ZIP code, which builders are active, how fast these homes sell, why the Town Square location matters, and — most importantly — how to buy new construction here without quietly giving up your negotiating leverage the moment you walk into a model home alone.
Southwest Las Vegas — the Enterprise corridor around Town Square, UnCommons, and the 215 Beltway — has about 185 brand-new homes for sale in 2026, at a median near $570,000. Most sit in the $400,000–$600,000 range, built by Lennar, Toll Brothers, Pulte, KB Home, and Richmond American. New homes here sold in a median 42 days. The single most important move: bring your own agent to the first builder visit, before you register, to protect your leverage.
- About 185 new-construction homes are for sale across the southwest's core ZIPs, median near $570,000.
- The core price band is $400K–$600K (98 homes); luxury new-builds run past $1.3M.
- ZIP 89141 (Southern Highlands/Enterprise) leads with 48 new-build listings.
- New homes here sold in a median 42 days over the last 180 days at about $264 per square foot.
- Register your buyer's agent on the first visit — do it after, and the builder may deny representation.
What Makes Southwest Las Vegas the Valley's New-Construction Hot Spot?
Location is the whole answer. The southwest sits at the intersection of the two things Las Vegas buyers value most — access and newness. The 215 Beltway rings the entire submarket, putting Harry Reid International Airport, the Strip, and Summerlin all within about 20 minutes. And because the southwest was one of the last quadrants of the valley to fill in, it still has the developable land that builders need, which is why so much of the metro's active construction is concentrated here rather than in the built-out east and central valley.
Then there's the lifestyle layer that's exploded around Town Square. The UnCommons district — a walkable mixed-use development of offices, restaurants, and residences that opened in 2022 — anchors a whole new center of gravity near Durango and the 215. Add the Durango Casino & Resort, IKEA, Exploration Peak Park, and the incoming projects along the Durango corridor, and the southwest now offers the kind of live-work-play density that used to require driving to the Strip. According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the southwest and Enterprise submarkets have consistently ranked among the valley's highest-demand areas for exactly this reason: new homes plus real amenities plus Beltway access is a hard combination to beat.
How Much New Construction Is Actually Available in Southwest Las Vegas?
Let's put numbers on the inventory. Across the southwest's seven core ZIP codes there are about 1,640 active listings of all ages, with a median asking price of $529,950. Filter that down to homes built in 2024 or later — a clean proxy for new construction and recent builder inventory — and you get 185 active new-build listings with a median of $570,000. Narrow further to homes built in 2025 or later, and there are 144, median $581,875.
That 185-home count is meaningful. It means a southwest new-construction buyer isn't choosing between two or three floor plans at a single community — they're choosing across dozens of active neighborhoods and builders, which is real leverage if you know how to use it. According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, 30-year fixed rates have hovered in the high-6% range through 2026, and builders have responded with aggressive financing incentives to keep these homes moving — a dynamic that favors buyers who shop several communities against each other. Start your search on our new construction hub or the Enterprise new-construction page, which track this exact inventory.
What Does a New Southwest Las Vegas Home Cost in 2026?
New construction in the southwest spans an enormous range — from attached townhomes in the high $300s to custom estates well over a million. Here's how the active new-build inventory (2024 and newer) breaks down by price band.
| Price band | Active new-build listings | Median list price | Typical profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $400,000 | 9 | $368,990 | Attached townhomes, smaller plans |
| $400,000–$600,000 | 98 | $525,370 | Core single-family + paired homes |
| $600,000–$800,000 | 36 | $654,635 | Larger single-family, premium lots |
| $800,000+ | 42 | $1,368,999 | Luxury + guard-gated estates |
The center of gravity is clearly the $400,000–$600,000 band, which holds 98 of the 185 new homes — more than half. This is the meat of the southwest new-construction market: single-family homes and paired-product from the national builders, typically 1,800 to 2,800 square feet. Below $400,000 you're into a thin band of nine attached townhomes. Above $800,000 sits a surprisingly deep luxury tier of 42 homes — many in guard-gated Southern Highlands — with a median past $1.36 million. In our experience, most southwest new-construction buyers land between $500,000 and $700,000, where the plan selection and builder incentives are both at their richest.
Which Southwest Las Vegas ZIP Codes Have the Most New Homes?
New construction clusters tightly by ZIP, because it follows the land. Here's where the active new-build inventory actually sits, along with the total active listings and the new-build median in each ZIP.
| ZIP | Area / master plans | New-build listings | New-build median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 89141 | Southern Highlands, south Enterprise | 48 | $559,950 |
| 89113 | Spring Valley SW, near Town Square/215 | 39 | $764,999 |
| 89148 | Enterprise, west of the 215 | 35 | $458,537 |
| 89139 | Enterprise, Blue Diamond corridor | 29 | $553,950 |
| 89178 | Mountain's Edge | 22 | $569,000 |
| 89183 | southern Las Vegas / Southern Highlands | 10 | $626,800 |
| 89179 | far southwest Enterprise | 2 | $477,490 |
Two patterns jump out. First, 89141 (Southern Highlands and south Enterprise) leads with 48 new-build listings — the deepest new-construction pool in the southwest, spanning entry single-family up into guard-gated luxury. Second, 89113 carries the highest new-build median at $764,999 because it's the closest ZIP to Town Square and the UnCommons district, where land is scarcest and product skews upscale. The value plays are 89148 ($458,537 median) west of the Beltway and 89139 along the Blue Diamond corridor, where builders still offer core single-family homes in the low-to-mid $500s. You can filter any of these on our Las Vegas homes-for-sale search or the Spring Valley homes page.
Which Builders Are Building in Southwest Las Vegas Right Now?
Nearly every national builder operating in Nevada has active communities in the southwest, which is exactly why buyers have leverage here — you can pit incentives, floor plans, and lot premiums against one another. Here's who's active and what they're known for in this submarket.
| Builder | Typical product in the southwest | Where you'll find them |
|---|---|---|
| Lennar | Everything's-included single-family + paired homes | Enterprise, Mountain's Edge |
| Toll Brothers | Luxury single-family + guard-gated estates | Southern Highlands |
| Pulte / Del Webb | Move-up single-family, some age-qualified | Enterprise, south valley |
| KB Home | Highly customizable entry-to-move-up | Enterprise, 89148 / 89139 |
| Richmond American | Flexible floor plans, strong incentives | Enterprise corridor |
| Tri Pointe / Taylor Morrison | Design-forward move-up single-family | Southern Highlands, Enterprise |
| D.R. Horton / Woodside | Value-oriented entry single-family | Enterprise, southern ZIPs |
The practical takeaway: because so many builders are competing for the same buyers in the same few ZIP codes, their incentive packages move constantly. A buyer working three communities against each other — with an agent who knows which builders are behind on their quarterly sales targets — routinely lands rate buydowns or closing-cost credits worth tens of thousands of dollars. That's leverage a solo buyer walking into a single model home never sees.
What Do These New Homes Look Like on Camera?
Floor plans and price sheets only tell you so much; you have to see the streets, the lots, the finish levels, and how close a community actually sits to Town Square and the Beltway. That's why our team films the southwest's new-construction neighborhoods — so buyers, especially those relocating from out of state, can judge condition, layout, and location before spending a Saturday or a plane ticket. The tour embedded at the top of this guide walks the southwest's active communities near Town Square and points out the details a builder brochure won't: real lot sizes, how the "quick move-in" inventory compares to a build-to-order, and which streets back to the Beltway noise.
If you're buying from a distance, our guide to relocating to Las Vegas covers the whole move, and every home tour goes up on our channel. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Las Vegas metro keeps drawing new residents from higher-cost states, and a large share of southwest new-construction buyers are relocating — which is exactly why we put the video first. Subscribe to the Nevada Real Estate Group channel for new southwest and valley-wide home tours every week.
Which Southwest Master-Planned Communities Should You Consider?
Beyond the ZIP map, it helps to think in communities, because each offers a different trade of price, amenities, and setting. Here's how I'd frame the southwest's main options for new-construction buyers.
Mountain's Edge is the southwest's signature master plan — parks, trails, Exploration Peak, and a mix of builder product from the mid $500s. It's largely built out, but final phases and resales of newer homes keep inventory flowing. See our full Mountain's Edge community guide for the neighborhood breakdown.
Southern Highlands is the prestige play. This guard-gated master plan in the 89141 and 89183 ZIPs holds the southwest's deepest luxury new-construction tier — Toll Brothers estates and custom homes well past a million — alongside more attainable move-up product. Explore it through our Southern Highlands community page and our roundup of guard-gated communities.
The Enterprise corridor — the broad swath of the 89148, 89139, and 89179 ZIPs west and south of the Beltway — is where the value lives. This is builder country: KB Home, Richmond American, D.R. Horton, and Woodside offering core single-family homes in the $450K–$600K range. It's less amenitized than the named master plans but closer to the raw new-home value. Our Enterprise buyer's guide goes deep on it.
The Town Square / UnCommons edge (89113) is the most urban and the priciest, where new product skews toward upscale single-family and attached homes for buyers who want to walk to dinner. You pay for the location, but for the right buyer it's the best of the southwest.
How Fast Do New Southwest Las Vegas Homes Sell?
New construction moves at a different pace than resale, because builder inventory is released in phases and priced to sell. Over the trailing 180 days, 327 newly built southwest homes closed (built 2023 or later), at a median sold price of $519,750, a median of 42 days on market, and an average of $264 per square foot. That 42-day median is slower than the resale market's roughly four weeks — which is normal and actually good news for buyers, because it means you usually have time to compare communities, negotiate incentives, and line up financing rather than racing to write same-day.
That said, the best-priced quick-move-in homes — the ones a builder needs off the books before quarter-end — can go under contract in days when the incentive is aggressive enough. According to Nevada REALTORS, builder closings have made up a meaningful and growing share of valley transactions as resale inventory stays tight, and the southwest is the epicenter of that activity. The lesson: move deliberately on build-to-order, but move fast when a builder dangles a standout incentive on standing inventory.
Why Does Living Near Town Square and UnCommons Matter?
The location premium in the southwest is real and worth understanding before you choose a ZIP. Homes closest to Town Square and UnCommons — mostly in 89113 — carry higher medians because you're buying walkable access to offices, restaurants, a resort, and entertainment, plus the shortest drive to the airport and Strip in the entire new-construction market. For a professional who values time and lifestyle, that premium pays back daily.
Push west and south into the broader Enterprise corridor and you trade some of that immediacy for square footage and value — a $525,000 home in 89148 or 89139 will be newer and larger than what the same money buys near Town Square, at the cost of a slightly longer drive to the amenity core. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro's job base has broadened well beyond gaming into healthcare, logistics, and tech-adjacent employers — many of them clustering in the southwest near UnCommons — which is quietly reshaping where buyers want to live. Widening your lens across the whole Las Vegas valley or browsing every community we cover helps you weigh that location-versus-space trade with real comparisons.
New Construction vs. Resale in Southwest Las Vegas — Which Wins?
This is the fork many southwest buyers reach, so let's compare the two paths head-to-head on the dimensions that actually decide it. Neither is universally better — it depends on your timeline, your appetite for customization, and how much you value warranties versus mature landscaping and negotiating room.
| Dimension | New construction | Resale |
|---|---|---|
| Price per sq ft | Higher (about $264) | Often lower |
| Customization | Full (build-to-order) | What's there |
| Move-in timeline | Months (or days for QMI) | ~30–45 days |
| Incentives | Rate buydowns, credits | Seller credits, price cuts |
| Landscaping / yard | Bare — you build it | Established |
| Warranty | 1–10 year builder warranty | Home warranty optional |
| Added costs | SID/LID, design center, lot premium | Deferred maintenance |
My honest read after thousands of these conversations: new construction wins for buyers who want exactly their finishes, plan to stay long enough to amortize the design-center spend, and can capture a strong builder rate buydown. Resale wins for buyers who want a mature yard, a lower price per foot, and a faster close. For a deeper walk-through of the trade, see our new construction vs. resale comparison.
What Builder Incentives Can You Negotiate in 2026?
This is where a southwest new-construction buyer makes or loses real money. With rates elevated, builders compete primarily on financing incentives rather than sticker price — because a visible price cut hurts their comps, while a rate buydown or credit doesn't. The common levers in 2026: permanent or temporary rate buydowns through the builder's lender (a 2-1 buydown or a below-market permanent rate), closing-cost credits worth tens of thousands, free design-center dollars, and occasionally lot-premium waivers on standing inventory.
The catch is that these incentives are almost always tied to using the builder's in-house lender, so you have to compare the all-in cost — rate, points, and credit — against an outside lender's offer, not just chase the headline. And the biggest incentives land on quick-move-in inventory the builder needs to close before quarter-end, not on fresh build-to-order. An agent who tracks which southwest communities are behind on sales knows where to point you. Our guides to builder rate buydowns and design-center budgeting break the math down in detail.
What Hidden Costs Come With New Southwest Las Vegas Homes?
The base price on a builder's sheet is rarely what you'll actually pay, and in the southwest's newer communities the add-ons can be substantial. Budget for these before you fall in love with a floor plan.
SID/LID special taxes. Many newer southwest communities carry Special Improvement District or Local Improvement District assessments that fund the infrastructure — roads, utilities, landscaping — and show up as a separate line on your tax bill for years. On some southwest homes this adds meaningfully to the monthly carry, so always ask for the SID/LID balance before you write.
Design-center upgrades. The model you fell in love with is fully upgraded; the base home is not. Flooring, countertops, cabinets, and structural options at the design center routinely add $30,000–$80,000 or more. Set your budget for the design center before you tour, not after you've fallen for the upgraded model.
Lot premiums. A larger, corner, view, or single-story-friendly lot can carry a premium of $10,000 to well over $50,000. According to the Clark County Assessor, your assessed value — and Nevada's low, capped property tax — will reflect the fully built price including these premiums, though the state's 3% owner-occupied cap keeps annual increases predictable. Between SID/LID, upgrades, and premiums, the true delivered cost can run 10–20% above the base sheet.
How Do You Buy New Construction the Right Way in Southwest Las Vegas?
The single biggest mistake southwest new-construction buyers make costs them nothing to avoid — and everything if they miss it. Register your own buyer's agent on your very first visit to any builder, before you sign in. Builder sales agents work for the builder, not for you; their job is to maximize the builder's price and steer you to the in-house lender. If you tour and register without your own representation, some builders will later refuse to recognize an agent — leaving you to negotiate the largest purchase of your life alone, against professionals who do it every day. Bringing your agent costs you nothing (the builder pays the buyer-agent commission from its marketing budget) and gives you someone to compare incentives, review the contract's builder-favorable clauses, order an independent pre-drywall and final inspection, and hold the builder to the timeline.
From there, the playbook is straightforward: get fully underwritten so you can move on a standout quick-move-in deal; compare at least three communities against each other on all-in cost; shop the builder's lender against an outside lender rather than assuming the incentive is free money; and never skip independent inspections just because it's new — new homes have defects too. Start on our new construction hub, run a filtered property search, and when you're ready, reach out through our contact page or browse our buyer resources to line up representation before your first model-home visit.

What's the closest new construction to Town Square in Las Vegas?
The closest new-construction homes to Town Square and the UnCommons district are in ZIP 89113 (southwest Spring Valley), which carries the highest new-build median at about $764,999 because of its walkable access and scarce land. Nearby Enterprise ZIPs (89148, 89139) offer newer homes at lower prices a bit farther from the amenity core.
Which builders are building in Southwest Las Vegas in 2026?
Nearly every national builder is active here: Lennar, Toll Brothers, Pulte/Del Webb, KB Home, Richmond American, Tri Pointe, Taylor Morrison, D.R. Horton, and Woodside. Toll Brothers concentrates on luxury in Southern Highlands; KB Home, Richmond American, and D.R. Horton dominate the value-oriented Enterprise corridor.
Do I need my own agent to buy new construction in Las Vegas?
Yes — and you should register your agent on your very first builder visit, before you sign in. The builder's sales agent represents the builder, not you. Your buyer's agent costs you nothing (the builder pays their commission) and protects your leverage on incentives, contract clauses, inspections, and the timeline. Some builders will refuse to recognize an agent you bring in after you've already registered alone.
What does a new home cost in Southwest Las Vegas?
The core new-construction band is $400,000–$600,000, where 98 of the 185 active new homes sit at a $525,370 median. You'll find a thin band of attached townhomes in the high $300s, larger single-family homes from $600,000–$800,000, and a deep luxury tier above $800,000 (median past $1.36 million) concentrated in guard-gated Southern Highlands.
What are SID and LID taxes on new Las Vegas homes?
SID (Special Improvement District) and LID (Local Improvement District) assessments fund the infrastructure — roads, utilities, landscaping — in many newer southwest communities, and appear as a separate line on your property-tax bill for years. They can add meaningfully to your monthly carrying cost, so always request the SID/LID balance on any new home before you write an offer.
Is it better to buy new construction or resale in Southwest Las Vegas?
New construction wins if you want to customize finishes, value builder warranties, and can capture a strong rate buydown. Resale usually wins on price per square foot, a mature yard, and a faster 30-to-45-day close. New homes here run about $264 per square foot and take a median 42 days to sell, versus roughly four weeks for well-priced resale.
How fast do new homes sell near Town Square?
Newly built southwest homes closed in a median of 42 days over the last 180 days — slower than resale, which is normal for phased builder inventory and gives buyers time to compare communities and negotiate. The exception is aggressively incentivized quick-move-in inventory, which can go under contract in days.
