CRIME DATA
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Cascade at Mountain Pass delivers southwest-valley convenience inside Mountains Edge: Focus Property Group homes built 2004–2010, 100-plus acres of parks, a connected trail network, and Exploration Peak Park's panoramic summit — all from $420,000. City of Las Vegas handles municipal services, and Nevada's zero income tax keeps total ownership costs predictable.
Cascade at Mountain Pass is known as a newer-construction single-family neighborhood inside Mountains Edge, one of the southwest Las Vegas Valley's most park-rich master plans. Focus Property Group built homes here between 2004 and 2010 with desert-contemporary design, open floor plans, and mountain views that buyers at the $420K–$680K tier compare favorably against older or smaller-lot alternatives elsewhere in the valley.
It fits value-conscious families seeking newer construction and trail access without guard-gate HOA premiums, Arizona and California relocators trading state income tax for southwest-valley lifestyle, move-up buyers stepping from older Las Vegas neighborhoods into a master-planned environment, healthcare and distribution-sector workers commuting along the I-215 corridor, and investors targeting the stable family-rental demand that Mountains Edge park amenities consistently generate.
Mornings run the Mountains Edge trail system or summit Exploration Peak Park for panoramic views, afternoons cover errands at Blue Diamond Road retail without a freeway run, and evenings return to a desert-contemporary home with Spring Mountains backdrop and a back patio built for outdoor living. The I-215 loop keeps the Strip 25 minutes and Henderson 15 minutes away for work and entertainment.
Cascade at Mountain Pass anchors the higher price tier of the Mountains Edge master plan in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. About 25 miles southwest of the Strip. ZIP 89178. Roughly 15 minutes from Henderson via I-215.
Quick Answer
Yes — by the metrics that matter at the $420K–$680K tier, Cascade at Mountain Pass is one of the southwest valley's most compelling non-gated addresses. It pairs 100-plus acres of park amenities, a connected trail system, Exploration Peak Park access, and newer Focus Property Group construction with a 20-minute airport commute and Nevada's zero income tax. The honest trade-offs: school ratings trail the valley's top zones, there is no guard gate, and Blue Diamond Road retail requires a short drive rather than a walk. For families prioritizing trail access and value over school prestige, Cascade is hard to beat at the price.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Cascade at Mountain Pass — shows 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Cascade residents skew toward a median age near 34, average household incomes above $75,000, and a 72% homeownership rate consistent with the Mountains Edge master plan.
The Census does not break Cascade at Mountain Pass out as its own place, so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the neighborhood, our closing data shows a blend of Arizona and Southern California relocators seeking newer construction at southwest-valley prices, two-income working families with children drawn by the trail system and park access, healthcare and distribution-sector workers positioned along the I-215 corridor, and investors targeting the consistent family-rental demand that Mountains Edge park amenities anchor.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Cascade at Mountain Pass itself is largely built out within the Mountains Edge master plan, while its parent city and the southwest Las Vegas Valley continue adding residents. Las Vegas has grown by roughly 120,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the I-215 southwest corridor has absorbed significant share of that growth as workers in distribution, healthcare, and hospitality seek newer construction at accessible prices.
Inside Cascade at Mountain Pass, growth means turnover — the neighborhood is built out, so every new southwest-valley resident seeking newer construction with park access competes for a finite supply. That dynamic supports stable resale performance even as the broader Las Vegas market adds inventory in newer master plans further from the I-215 core.

Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.

Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
I-215 connects Cascade at Mountain Pass to Henderson in 15 minutes, the airport in 20, and the Strip in 25 — one of the southwest valley's most efficient freeway positions.

Cascade at Mountain Pass is a single-family neighborhood inside Mountains Edge, the roughly 3,500-acre master-planned community in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley (ZIP 89178) developed by Focus Property Group. Ownership includes access to the master community's 100-plus acres of parks, connected trail system, sports courts, and Exploration Peak Park's summit trail. Nevada Real Estate Group compares Cascade against neighboring Mountains Edge enclaves on price, lot premium, and finish before every buyer commits.
HOA fees in Cascade at Mountain Pass typically total $60 to $150 per month, covering the Mountains Edge master-association assessment plus a neighborhood sub-association layer. The master fee funds the 100-plus acre park system, trail maintenance, and community facilities.

Mountains Edge contains more than 100 acres of parkland spread across the master plan. Exploration Peak Park — 30 acres at 9700 S Buffalo Drive — is the signature destination: a summit trail with panoramic Spring Mountains and valley views, an amphitheater, playground, sports courts, and picnic areas.

Both parks are connected by the community trail network, making them practical daily destinations for Cascade at Mountain Pass residents.

No. Cascade at Mountain Pass is an open-street single-family neighborhood within Mountains Edge — no guard gate, no staffed entry. Mountains Edge as a whole operates without perimeter gating, keeping HOA dues in the $60–$150 monthly range and access unrestricted. Buyers seeking guard-gated Las Vegas options nearby can consider Rhodes Ranch or Southern Highlands. Nevada Real Estate Group can walk you through the security trade-off and price difference between gated and non-gated southwest-valley communities.
Cascade at Mountain Pass sits at the higher price tier within Mountains Edge — $420,000 to $680,000 — reflecting the Focus Property Group construction vintage (2004–2010) and larger floor plans. Neighboring Mountains Edge enclaves like Cattara and Chaco Canyon share the same master-plan amenities and ZIP-area market pace but skew toward slightly lower price points. All Mountains Edge subdivisions share the same trail access, park system, and Blue Diamond Road retail corridor. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for a side-by-side closed-comp review before you choose between them.
Mountains Edge as a master plan has held strong resale performance since the early 2000s — 3,500 acres of parks, trails, and consistent architectural standards support long-term demand. Cascade at Mountain Pass homes built 2004–2010 are in the sweet spot of the market: modern enough for efficient systems and open floor plans, mature enough for desert landscaping and established neighborhood character. ZIP 89178 showed a $482,500 median sold price over the past 100 days per Las Vegas REALTORS, with 32 median days to accepted offer. Nevada Real Estate Group tracks Cascade-specific closed comps monthly.
Nevada property taxes run roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual primary-residence increases at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $500,000 purchase, plan around $2,500 to $3,500 annually — considerably lower than comparable Arizona, California, or Utah communities. One important note: long-held Cascade homes often carry below-market assessed values that reset to current market after sale. Confirm the post-sale tax figure with the Clark County Assessor before finalizing your ownership-cost budget.
Residents start mornings on the Mountains Edge trail system or with a summit hike at Exploration Peak Park, spend afternoons at Blue Diamond Road retail (Target, Trader Joe's, and 100-plus shops within 10 minutes), and return to newer desert-contemporary homes with mountain views from the backyard. The I-215 loop connects the neighborhood to Henderson in 15 minutes, the Strip in 25, and the airport in 20 — a southwest-valley address that genuinely minimizes cross-town driving.
Yes — Cascade at Mountain Pass is a built-out resale market, not a new-construction active build. Buyers who move quickly on well-priced listings do best: ZIP 89178 averaged 32 median days from list to accepted offer in September 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS, and competitively priced Cascade homes can go under contract in the first week. Nevada Real Estate Group can set instant listing alerts and coordinate same-day showings — call (702) 637-1759 to get ahead of the queue.
Four factors matter most in Cascade. First, lot position: mountain-view lots command premiums of $30,000–$60,000 over comparable interior lots, so price the view specifically. Second, HOA layers: the combined master and sub-association fee runs $60–$150 monthly, with any special assessments changing the math — verify with the resale package. Third, school zones: Wright Elementary and Faiss Middle trail the GreatSchools averages for southern Summerlin; buyers prioritizing school quality should review charter and private options. Fourth, post-sale tax reset: long-held homes re-assess to current value after sale — confirm the post-sale figure with the Clark County Assessor early in escrow.
Focus Property Group developed Cascade at Mountain Pass as part of the broader Mountains Edge master plan between 2004 and 2010. The builder is best known for the 3,500-acre Mountains Edge community, which pioneered the southwest-valley park-and-trail model now emulated across the Las Vegas Valley. Cascade homes reflect the design vocabulary of that era: desert-contemporary exteriors, tile roofs, stucco finishes, open great-room layouts, and attached two-to-three car garages. Vintage means buyers should inspect HVAC, roof, and plumbing systems during the contingency period.
Mountains Edge is one of the largest master-planned communities in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley — roughly 3,500 acres developed by Focus Property Group with an unusually generous parks program: over 100 acres of green space, connected trails, Exploration Peak Park, and community recreation facilities. The master association governs shared infrastructure across all Mountains Edge subdivisions, including Cascade at Mountain Pass. Las Vegas REALTORS report ZIP 89178 as a consistently active market with 198 active listings in September 2026, reflecting broad buyer demand for the southwest-valley lifestyle at accessible price points.
Most Cascade at Mountain Pass buyers put down 5% to 20%. At $494,000, 5% FHA is $24,700; 20% conventional is $98,800. Conforming loan limits allow standard 30-year fixed financing without jumbo requirements on most Cascade homes. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans. First-time buyers should review Nevada Housing Division down-payment assistance programs, which can reduce upfront cash needed at this price point significantly.
Cascade at Mountain Pass carries two HOA layers: the Mountains Edge master-association fee and a neighborhood sub-association fee. Combined, they typically run $60 to $150 per month, covering parks, trails, and community facilities. Pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve-fund status, and any pending special assessments — before your inspection contingency expires so dues are verified against your monthly budget.
Most Cascade at Mountain Pass purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash buyers can close in 10 to 14 days. Financed buyers should allow extra time for appraisal scheduling in higher-volume ZIP areas. HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days to the timeline, so start the request on the day you go under contract to avoid delays at contingency deadlines.

Eight questions Cascade at Mountain Pass buyers type into Google — answered with verifiable specifics sourced from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings. Every figure links to a primary source.
Both — Cascade at Mountain Pass is a single-family neighborhood within the Mountains Edge master-planned community, inside the incorporated boundaries of the City of Las Vegas. Mailing addresses say Las Vegas, NV 89178. "Mountains Edge" is the master plan name; "Cascade at Mountain Pass" is the specific neighborhood within it, developed by Focus Property Group between 2004 and 2010.
ZIP 89178 — the Mountains Edge and southwest Las Vegas Valley ZIP covering Cascade at Mountain Pass and neighboring enclaves. Drive times from this ZIP run 10 minutes to Blue Diamond Road retail, 20 minutes to Harry Reid Airport, 15 minutes to Henderson, and 25 minutes to the Strip via I-15 North.
No — Mountains Edge is the roughly 3,500-acre master-planned community developed by Focus Property Group across the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. Cascade at Mountain Pass is one specific neighborhood within that master plan, sitting at the $420K–$680K price tier. Mountains Edge contains multiple neighborhoods — Cattara, Chaco Canyon, and others — all sharing the same park system and trail network.
Cascade at Mountain Pass homes were built between 2004 and 2010, making them approximately 16–22 years old as of 2026. That vintage means HVAC systems, roofing, and pool equipment may be approaching or have already reached first major service cycles. Budget a thorough inspection and price replacement schedules into your ownership-cost planning.
Most individual homes in Cascade at Mountain Pass feature private backyard pools — standard at the $420K–$680K price tier in the Las Vegas Valley where summer temperatures exceed 108°F. There is no community pool or shared clubhouse within the Cascade sub-association; amenities are private rather than shared, which keeps HOA dues in the lower $60–$150 monthly range.
Within the Mountains Edge trail network, yes — the connected trail system makes walking and trail running to Exploration Peak Park and Mountains Edge Regional Park practical from Cascade at Mountain Pass. For daily errands, the community is car-dependent; Blue Diamond Road retail is 10 minutes by car, not walkable from the neighborhood itself.
Approximately 20 minutes west via Blue Diamond Road to NV-159 toward the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Loop — accessible for day-trip hiking and weekend recreation without a multi-hour round trip. The 195,819-acre National Conservation Area, 26 miles of trails, and 13-mile Scenic Loop are all within a comfortable morning excursion from Cascade.
The fundamentals are solid: a park-rich Mountains Edge address with 100-plus acres of amenity infrastructure, Focus Property Group construction that holds its value relative to comparable Las Vegas vintage, consistent family-rental demand at $2,200–$3,200 per month, and charter-school proximity (Doral Academy, Pinecrest) that anchors tenant quality. Returns depend on floor plan, lot position, and purchase price — ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent Cascade closed comps before writing an offer.
