SAFETY & CRIME
Is Corte Bella Safe?
Yes. Corte Bella's 24-hour guard gate, staffed security patrols, and perimeter walls provide controlled access no open-street community can match. Las Vegas tracks below national violent-crime averages in FBI Uniform Crime Reporting comparisons, and two decades of established enclave operations mean gate procedures are mature and consistent.
- Guard gate staffing and security patrolsCommunity security program
- Las Vegas violent crime vs national averageFBI Uniform Crime Reporting
- Over two decades of established enclave operationsCommunity records
- Perimeter walls + controlled vehicle entryCommunity security infrastructure
What Buyers Should Know
The guard gate does meaningful security work: controlled access eliminates the opportunistic vehicle and foot traffic that drives property crime in open neighborhoods. Corte Bella's security program has operated for over two decades with staffed gatehouse protocols, pre-approved visitor lists, and patrol circuits — a mature operation, not a new one still working out procedures.
Beyond the gate, the residential character of Corte Bella's streets removes the arterial-road exposure that concentrates incidents in mixed-use corridors. Neighbors know each other, tenure is high, and the homeownership rate of approximately 88% per community records reflects the engaged, invested character typical of guard-gated enclaves.
For buyers wanting additional security intelligence, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department publishes precinct-level crime data that covers the Summerlin South area, and the Clark County Sheriff records supplement city reporting. The picture in The Hills South village is consistently well below valley-wide averages, with Corte Bella's controlled perimeter as an additional structural advantage.

What's It Like Living in Corte Bella, Summerlin?
Corte Bella delivers guard-gated family-luxury at Summerlin's most accessible price: 70 acres established in 2000, 24-hour staffed security, traditional and Mediterranean homes from $600K, and TPC Summerlin minutes away. City of Las Vegas handles municipal services, and Nevada's zero income tax keeps relocation costs competitive.
What is Corte Bella known for?
Corte Bella is known as The Hills South village's most accessible guard-gated community — the 2000 Howard Hughes Corporation development that brought 24-hour staffed security and family-focused homes from $600K to The Hills South without the $900K+ entry point of Country Club Hills or Tournament Hills.
Who should live in Corte Bella?
It fits families seeking guard-gated security and a 10/10-rated middle school zone, move-up buyers stepping above non-gated Summerlin without reaching Country Club Hills pricing, California relocators trading state income tax for desert affordability, and investors targeting limited-supply guard-gated appreciation.
What is daily life like?
Mornings run the Summerlin Trail System or scenic-loop into Red Rock Canyon, afternoons play TPC Summerlin or browse Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants, and evenings return through the 24-hour guarded gate to a resort-style backyard with Spring Mountains views.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Corte Bella Score for Livability?
Corte Bella earns top marks for security, school zones, and amenity access, with honest trade-offs on HOA carrying costs and the absence of on-site recreational facilities within the gate. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every buyer before a first Corte Bella tour.
Grade A+: Safety
24-hour guard gate, security patrols, perimeter walls, and mature-enclave operations since 2000. Las Vegas overall tracks below national violent-crime averages per FBI UCR comparisons.
Grade A: Schools
Sig Rogich Middle School rates 10/10 on GreatSchools — among the highest-rated middles in Nevada; Palo Verde High 8/10; The Meadows School and Bishop Gorman private options nearby.
Grade B+: Cost of Living
Entry from $600K with $250–$600/mo HOA dues — one of the lighter guard-gated fee loads in Summerlin. Nevada's zero income tax offsets carrying costs significantly.
Grade A: Amenities
Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants five minutes away, TPC Summerlin eight minutes, Red Rock Canyon ten minutes — a luxury lifestyle footprint with no private club mandated.
Grade A+: Outdoor Access
Direct trail access to the Summerlin Trail System, Red Rock Canyon NCA's Scenic Loop twelve minutes west, and Hills Park nearby. Exceptional outdoor access for a guard-gated Summerlin South community.
Grade B+: Commute
Summerlin Parkway puts the Strip about 20 minutes away and Harry Reid Airport about 30 via I-215 South — longer than east-side addresses but acceptable for households prioritizing the Summerlin lifestyle.

Quick Answer
Is Corte Bella a good place to live in Summerlin?
Yes — by every guard-gated measure, Corte Bella is one of Summerlin's most accessible and compelling addresses. It pairs 24-hour staffed security, a 10/10-rated middle school zone, traditional and Mediterranean homes from $600,000, and five-minute access to Downtown Summerlin. The honest trade-offs: $250–$600 monthly HOA dues, a 30-minute airport commute, and no on-site amenities within the gate itself. Nevada's zero state income tax sweetens every relocation to Corte Bella.
Source: City of Las Vegas
Who Lives in Corte Bella?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Corte Bella — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records place Corte Bella itself at 1,100-plus residents across 350-plus households, with an average household income estimated above $175,000 and an 88% homeownership rate.
The Census does not break Corte Bella out as its own place, so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the enclave, our closing data shows a blend of California and Pacific-Northwest relocators trading state income tax for guard-gated desert luxury, established Las Vegas professionals moving up from non-gated Summerlin, high-net-worth empty nesters downsizing from larger estates, and corporate executives on extended assignments.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Corte Bella Area Growing?
Corte Bella itself is built out — the 350-plus home enclave completed its development in the early 2000s — while its parent city and surrounding Summerlin continue adding residents. Las Vegas has grown by roughly 120,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and Summerlin alone has added tens of thousands of residents in the same period, keeping demand pressure on Corte Bella's finite guard-gated supply.
Las Vegas city population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside Corte Bella, growth means turnover, not expansion: the 350-home enclave is built out, so every new Summerlin resident seeking guard-gated luxury competes for a fixed supply. That scarcity equation — rising metro demand against a capped inventory — is the investment logic of an established guard-gated community that newer developments cannot replicate.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Corte Bella Score for Livability?
Corte Bella pairs A-grade security, a 10/10-rated middle school zone, and solid outdoor access with honest trade-offs: $250–$600 monthly HOA dues, a 30-minute airport commute, and no on-site pool or clubhouse within the gate itself.

WHY CORTE BELLA
Why Does Corte Bella Stand Apart From Its Peers?
From the guard-gate pedigree to the 10/10 school zone, Corte Bella occupies ground no newer community can claim at its price point in Summerlin. The five advantages below are each tied to a verifiable source — the Nevada Revised Statutes, FBI crime data, Census figures, GreatSchools, and Las Vegas REALTORS — so you can check every claim.
- Community records / Howard Hughes Corporation
Guard-gated family-luxury from $600K
Established in 2000 by Howard Hughes Corporation — the 24-hour staffed gate and mature perimeter landscaping that newer developments cannot replicate at this entry point.
- GreatSchools.org
10/10-rated middle school zone
Sig Rogich Middle School rates 10/10 on GreatSchools — the highest possible score — a defining advantage that no other guard-gated Summerlin enclave at this price can match.
- Community records
Red Rock Canyon views
Elevated west-facing lots deliver sweeping Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon views — a finite natural amenity that no amount of landscaping budget can create inland.
- Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471
Tax-capped carrying costs
Nevada's 3% primary-residence cap under NRS 361.471 plus zero state income tax make long-run luxury ownership predictably cheaper than any California equivalent.
- Las Vegas REALTORS / GLVAR, June 2026
Finite supply in a growing market
The 350-home enclave is built out — no new supply can dilute it while Las Vegas and Summerlin continue adding residents who want exactly what Corte Bella delivers.
WHY BUY IN CORTE BELLA
What Are the Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Home in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella's case rests on guard-gated scarcity, not marketing: Summerlin's most accessible 24-hour-staffed enclave, property taxes capped at 3% annual growth under Nevada law per Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, zero state income tax, a 10/10-rated middle school zone, and homes from $600K to $1.5M. Ten sourced reasons follow.
Guard-gated security from $600K
Established 2000 by Howard Hughes Corporation — 24-hour staffed gate and patrols in The Hills South village of Summerlin South.
Community records
Zero state income tax
Nevada levies no personal income tax — six-figure annual savings for most relocating California luxury buyers.

3% property-tax cap
Annual increases on a primary residence are capped by statute — predictable carrying costs in a luxury price band.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella carries two HOA layers: the Summerlin master association fee and Corte Bella's sub-association fee for 24-hour guard-gate staffing, patrols, and perimeter maintenance. Combined, they typically run $250 to $600 per month depending on the specific home and section. Pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve fund status, and any pending special assessments — during escrow before your inspection contingency expires.
Should I Move to Corte Bella in Summerlin?
High-income households from Los Angeles and Silicon Valley find that guard-gated luxury priced beyond reach on the coast is attainable in Summerlin. California's top income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — that single line, paired with Red Rock Canyon views and 24-hour security, finances most Corte Bella relocations.
Why California Luxury Buyers Are Choosing Corte Bella
The tax math is decisive: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $300,000 saves over $24,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Corte Bella adds the guard-gated family-luxury argument California's coastal suburbs can't match at anywhere near the price: 24-hour staffed security, traditional and Mediterranean homes from $600,000 to $1.5 million, and the Summerlin Parkway connection that makes the Strip twenty minutes from the gate.
At a $900,000 budget, coastal buyers are looking at a modest home in a competitive suburb without gates or school-zone guarantees. That same budget in Corte Bella secures a well-appointed guard-gated home with resort-style pool, three to five bedrooms, and a 10/10-rated middle school zone inside The Hills South village of Summerlin — with Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants five minutes from the gate, TPC Summerlin adjacent, and Nevada's zero income tax stretching every dollar further.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across ZIP 89135 is $1,050,000. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data places Las Vegas well below national violent-crime averages, and GreatSchools rates Sig Rogich Middle School — the zoned campus — at 10/10, the highest possible score.
Corte Bella runs on Summerlin's economic engine: Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants anchor retail employment, TPC Summerlin and Red Rock Canyon draw hospitality and recreation spending, and the broader Las Vegas metro's healthcare, tech, and financial-services sectors feed high-income residents who want guard-gated privacy on the western rim.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Corte Bella, NV vs. Los Angeles, CA
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across every category that matters at the luxury tier. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest is the one luxury buyers care about most: a guard-gated estate with Red Rock Canyon views that costs $1–3 million here easily exceeds $5–10 million in comparable coastal gated communities.
| Metric | Corte Bella, NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Guard-Gated Entry Point | $600K (Corte Bella) | $3M+ typical |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.1% on new purchases |
| Top-School-Zone Middle School | 10/10 (Sig Rogich MS) | Lottery or $50K+ private tuition |

Corte Bella Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Family homes in the Summerlin South guard-gated corridor typically rent for $3,500–$6,500 per month, with Corte Bella Estates homes commanding premiums at the top of that band. Rental vacancy in guard-gated Summerlin communities is consistently low — tenant demand from families prioritizing school zoning keeps inventory thin. Short-term rentals are tightly regulated in Las Vegas — confirm rules before underwriting nightly income on any Corte Bella property.

How to relocate to Corte Bella in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Corte Bella buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your section and set a budget
Decide which Corte Bella you are buying: $600K–$750K Classic entry homes, $750K–$1M Grande family floor plans, or $1M+ Estates premium residences. Each section carries different finishes, home sizes, and HOA sub-layer structures.
Get pre-approved — know your tier
Classic section purchases may fall under the $726,200 conforming limit; Grande and Estates sections often require jumbo financing. Work with a lender who can fully underwrite reserves and debt ratios before you tour — clean offers win in a 17-day-median market.
Hire an Corte Bella specialist
HOA sub-association layer, section tier, and school-zone verification all drive significant value differences between otherwise similar homes. An agent who knows The Hills South village saves real money.
Coordinate gate access and tour
All showings require advance gate coordination through a licensed agent. Nevada Real Estate Group handles gate arrangements for every Corte Bella and Hills South showing — call (702) 637-1759 to schedule.
Write and negotiate the offer
Well-priced Grande and Estates homes can attract multiple offers. Classic section homes give slightly more room for inspection-based negotiation. Get comps from Hills South closed sales before setting your offer price.
Inspection, HOA docs, and appraisal
Age the diligence to the home: 2000-era construction means roofs, HVAC, and pool equipment approaching first major service cycles. Pull the full resale package — both master and sub-association dues, reserves, CC&Rs, and pending assessment history.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Jumbo appraisals in low-volume luxury ZIPs can require extended scheduling — start the lender clock early.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Las Vegas water), change your address with USPS and financial institutions, then handle the DMV — license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in Corte Bella right now?
Guard-gated Summerlin rents are firm at the luxury tier, and at current rates the monthly gap narrows significantly once equity and tax effects are counted — for 5+ year holds, a built-out 350-home enclave with fixed supply and growing demand tilts the math decisively toward owning.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a $700,000 Corte Bella home for five years nets out considerably cheaper than renting once principal paydown and conservative 3% appreciation are counted — and the owner exits with roughly $210,000 in total equity while the renter exits with none. A built-out 350-home enclave with no new supply gives that appreciation assumption structural support that open-street communities lack.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $425/mo blended HOA, ~7% resale costs.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on an Corte Bella home?
Most Corte Bella purchases close in 30 to 45 days — Nevada uses escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash buyers can close in 10 to 14 days. Jumbo buyers should allow extra time for appraisal scheduling in low-volume luxury ZIPs. Request the HOA resale package the day you go under contract so dues clear before inspection deadlines.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Corte Bella?
Most Corte Bella buyers put down 20% to 25%, and many are cash purchasers. At the $700,000 Classic entry, 20% down is $140,000; purchases above the conforming limit ($726,200) require jumbo financing with strong debt-to-income ratios and reserves. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans even above the conforming limit when using full entitlement. On $1 million-plus purchases, plan for jumbo lender requirements: typically 20–25% down, six to twelve months of reserves, and full documentation.
Corte Bella FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Corte Bella Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella homes range from approximately $600,000 in the Classic section to $1.5 million in the Estates tier. ZIP 89135 carried a $1,050,000 median list price in June 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS. Sizes run 2,200 to 4,500 square feet across traditional and Mediterranean styles built around 2000.
Is Corte Bella in Summerlin guard-gated?
Yes. Corte Bella is guard-gated with a 24-hour staffed entry gate and security patrols — one of four gated enclaves within The Hills South village of Summerlin South. The gatehouse, perimeter walls, and two decades of mature landscaping give residents a level of privacy that open-street Summerlin neighborhoods cannot replicate. Showings require advance gate coordination through a licensed agent; Nevada Real Estate Group arranges that for every Corte Bella tour.
What village is Corte Bella in?
Corte Bella sits within The Hills South village of the Summerlin South Association — the village known for its concentration of guard-gated enclaves including Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, and Tournament Hills. Village placement in Summerlin shapes your master-association structure, school zones, and amenity access. The Hills South also positions residents minutes from TPC Summerlin, where the PGA Tour's Shriners Children's Open is contested annually, and from Downtown Summerlin.
What ZIP code is Corte Bella in?
Corte Bella is in ZIP 89135, Summerlin South, Las Vegas. Drive times from the gate run about 5 minutes to Downtown Summerlin, 12 minutes to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, 20 minutes to the Strip via Summerlin Parkway, and 30 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport via I-215 South. The ZIP-area median list price is $1,050,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS; Corte Bella homes range from $600K to $1.5M within that ZIP.
What schools serve Corte Bella?
Corte Bella is zoned for Clark County School District campuses: Red Rock Elementary (8/10 GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — among the highest-rated middles in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10). Private standouts nearby include The Meadows School (A+), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), and Faith Lutheran Middle and High (A). Doral Academy Red Rock offers a strong charter option. Confirm current CCSD zoning before closing — assignments can shift between school years.
What are HOA fees in Corte Bella?
HOA fees in Corte Bella typically run $250 to $600 per month, combining the Summerlin master association fee with Corte Bella's sub-association fee for 24-hour guard-gate staffing, security patrols, perimeter maintenance, and common-area landscaping. Exact dues vary by property and are subject to annual adjustment. Request the resale package — dues, reserves, CC&Rs, and any pending assessments — early in your 30-to-45-day Nevada escrow so figures are verified before contingency deadlines.
How does Corte Bella compare to Country Club Hills in Summerlin?
Country Club Hills ($900K–$3M+) is the village's premium enclave with larger custom estates near TPC Summerlin; Corte Bella ($600K–$1.5M) delivers the identical guard-gated security and the same school zoning in family-focused homes of 2,200 to 4,500 square feet. If your budget tops out under $1.5 million, Corte Bella is the play. Nevada Real Estate Group can walk you through both communities side by side so the value gap is real, not theoretical.
How large are homes in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella homes typically run 2,800 to 6,000-plus square feet with three to six bedrooms, gourmet kitchens, resort-style backyards with pools and spas, and multi-car garages. Many sit on elevated lots with sweeping Spring Mountains, Red Rock Canyon, or valley-skyline views. Lot elevation and view orientation drive resale value as meaningfully as raw square footage — weigh both factors when comparing listings within the community.
How does the guard gate entry process work at Corte Bella?
Residents enter via transponders or access codes; guests must be pre-approved by the homeowner or called in at the gatehouse, and vendors follow the community's access policy. The gate is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with security patrols supplementing gatehouse coverage. First-time visitors should bring valid ID and allow a few extra minutes at entry. Prospective buyers touring with a licensed Nevada Real Estate Group agent have gate access coordinated in advance.
Can buyers tour Corte Bella without a real estate agent?
No — unaccompanied visitors are turned away at the gatehouse. Prospective buyers must be accompanied by a licensed real estate agent who coordinates gate entry in advance. Nevada Real Estate Group handles all access arrangements for showings across The Hills South gated enclaves, including Corte Bella, Country Club Hills, and Tournament Hills, so you can compare multiple communities in one outing. Call (702) 637-1759 to schedule a showing.
What security features does Corte Bella include beyond the guard gate?
Corte Bella's security stack includes a 24-hour staffed guard gate with controlled vehicle access, perimeter block walls, security patrols, and community surveillance infrastructure — the full program typical of Summerlin's established guard-gated enclaves. Two decades of consistent operations mean procedures are mature. Request the association's current security program details with the resale package before closing so you understand patrol schedules and emergency-response protocols.
Are there custom home lots available in Corte Bella?
Rarely. Corte Bella completed its build-out around 2000 with 350-plus homes across 70 acres, and vacant lots almost never surface on the open market. The realistic path into the community is resale. Buyers wanting ground-up custom construction in Summerlin should look to active-lot communities elsewhere in the master plan. Nevada Real Estate Group tracks custom-lot availability valley-wide and can flag the rare Corte Bella lot if one becomes available.
What is the resale value trend for Corte Bella homes?
Guard-gated Summerlin communities have historically outperformed the broader Las Vegas market on value retention and appreciation, and Corte Bella's fundamentals are structurally sound: limited 350-home supply, 20-plus years of mature desert landscaping that newer communities cannot replicate, a $600K entry to guard-gated living in The Hills South, and the 10/10-rated Sig Rogich Middle School zone. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent Hills South closed sales before writing an offer.
What property taxes are like in Corte Bella?
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On an $800,000 purchase, plan around $4,800 to $5,600 annually. One important note: long-held homes in Corte Bella often carry abated tax bills — the assessed value resets to current market value after sale, so verify the post-sale figure with the Assessor before building your ownership-cost budget.
What should I know before buying in Corte Bella?
Four factors move real money in Corte Bella. First, view orientation: elevated west-facing lots command premiums of $100,000 or more over comparable lots without Red Rock views, so price the orientation specifically. Second, HOA dues: the combined master and sub-association fee runs $300–$800 monthly, and any special assessments reset the math. Third, gate process: all showings require advance coordination through a licensed agent. Fourth, tax resets: long-held homes re-assess to current value after sale — verify the number early in escrow.
What down payment do you need to buy in Corte Bella?
Most Corte Bella buyers put down 20% to 25%, and many are cash purchasers. At the $700,000 Classic entry, 20% down is $140,000; purchases above the conforming limit ($726,200) require jumbo financing with strong debt-to-income ratios and reserves. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans even above the conforming limit when using full entitlement. On $1 million-plus purchases, plan for jumbo lender requirements: typically 20–25% down, six to twelve months of reserves, and full documentation.
What does an HOA cost in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella carries two HOA layers: the Summerlin master association fee and Corte Bella's sub-association fee for 24-hour guard-gate staffing, patrols, and perimeter maintenance. Combined, they typically run $250 to $600 per month depending on the specific home and section. Pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve fund status, and any pending special assessments — during escrow before your inspection contingency expires.
How long does it take to close on an Corte Bella home?
Most Corte Bella purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 10 to 14 days. Financed buyers at the jumbo tier should budget extra time for appraisal scheduling; luxury homes in low-volume ZIP areas can require extended appraisal turnaround. HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days to the escrow timeline, so start the request the day you go under contract.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Corte Bella?
These are the eight queries Corte Bella buyers type into Google and AI assistants — answered with verifiable specifics sourced from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools school ratings. Every figure links to a primary source you can check.
Is Corte Bella part of Las Vegas or Summerlin?
Both — Corte Bella is a guard-gated enclave within The Hills South village of Summerlin South, inside the incorporated boundaries of the City of Las Vegas. Mailing addresses say Las Vegas, NV 89135. "Summerlin" is the master plan name; "Corte Bella" is the specific guard-gated community within it.
What ZIP code does Corte Bella use?
ZIP 89135 — the Summerlin South ZIP covering The Hills South village and surrounding neighborhoods. Drive times from the gate run 5 minutes to Downtown Summerlin, 12 minutes to Red Rock Canyon, and 20 minutes to the Strip via Summerlin Parkway.
Is Corte Bella the same as Country Club Hills?
No — Country Club Hills is the premium guard-gated enclave in The Hills South village with larger estates from $900K to $3M+. Corte Bella is a separate guard-gated enclave in the same village with a $600K entry — a meaningful price difference while sharing the same school zone and central Summerlin South location.
How old are homes in Corte Bella?
Corte Bella was established in 2000, making its homes approximately 24-25 years old as of 2026. That vintage means many homes are approaching first major system cycles — HVAC, roofing, pool equipment — and some owners have already updated. Budget a thorough inspection and price accordingly.
Does Corte Bella have a pool?
Most individual estates in Corte Bella feature resort-style private pools with spas in the backyard — this is a standard amenity at the luxury price point. There is no community pool or shared clubhouse within the Corte Bella sub-association; amenities are private rather than shared, which is typical of guard-gated Summerlin enclaves at this scale.
Is Corte Bella walkable?
Within the enclave, yes — the quiet interior streets and perimeter landscaping make walking and trail running practical. Downtown Summerlin five minutes away extends walkability for dining and retail once you drive or bike there. The community is fundamentally car-dependent for daily errands, as with all Las Vegas suburbs.
How far is Corte Bella from Red Rock Canyon?
Approximately 10 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — closer than any other guard-gated Las Vegas enclave in the same price range. The 13-mile Scenic Loop, 26 miles of hiking trails, and world-class rock climbing are all accessible for morning exercise before returning to the gate.
Is Corte Bella a good investment?
The fundamentals are favorable: a built-out 350-home enclave with no new supply, a 10/10-rated middle school zone that anchors tenant and resale demand, and a Summerlin South address whose broader master plan continues adding residents who want exactly what Corte Bella delivers. Returns depend on section and the specific purchase price — ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent Hills South closed comps before writing an offer.

Where Does This Corte Bella Data Come From?
Every statistic on this page comes from a primary or government dataset, refreshed monthly. One honesty note: ZIP 89135 is broader than the 350-home Corte Bella enclave — so area statistics are labeled as such, and per-section figures are modeled estimates from active-listing review.
