Cottonwood Terrace is a compact 2001-built community in ZIP 89145, on the far west side of the Las Vegas Valley near the Peccole Ranch corridor. The enclave holds an estimated 50-plus residences in an unusual mix of product types — townhomes, condominiums, and detached single-family homes trade under the same community name, with the MLS tracking a distinct Cottonwood Terrace-Phase 2 section. Floor plans run 1,392 to 1,893 square feet, a mid-size band that suits first-time buyers, downsizers, and small families alike. Recorded sales have ranged from $325,000 to $599,000, with a median around $490,000. Street names like Birch Bluff and Juniper Creek mark the community's tight footprint in one of the west valley's most established residential pockets.

The 2001 construction date puts Cottonwood Terrace in a sweet spot: new enough for open layouts, modern electrical, and two-car garages on most plans, yet old enough that landscaping and streetscapes have fully matured. Homeowner association dues span a wide $57 to $310 per month depending on the section — the attached condominium and townhome sections carry higher dues that typically fold in exterior and common-area maintenance, while detached homes sit at the low end. Annual property taxes on recent closings have run roughly $2,084 to $2,845, modest carrying costs by west-valley standards. As always with a mixed-product community, the specific section determines both the dues and what they cover, so review the resale package carefully.

Location is the community's quiet advantage. ZIP 89145 sits between Charleston Boulevard and Sahara Avenue on the west side, minutes from the Peccole Ranch and Queensridge corridor and a short drive to Downtown Summerlin's dining, shopping, and office core. Commuters reach the Strip in about 15 minutes via West Flamingo Road and Red Rock Canyon in about 20 minutes via Charleston. The surrounding area is served by well-regarded west-side CCSD campuses including William & Mary Scherkenbach Elementary and Palo Verde High School, with The Meadows School — one of the valley's premier private campuses — close by. Desert Breeze Park's fields, trails, and community pool anchor recreation a few minutes south.

Market activity in Cottonwood Terrace is steady but thin: 19 resales have closed since early 2023, and at last count zero homes were active on the market. In an estimated 50-plus-home community, that pace means a meaningful share of the neighborhood has turned over recently — yet standing inventory is effectively nonexistent, so opportunities appear and disappear quickly. The $325,000-to-$599,000 recorded range also means two very different buyers shop here: condo and townhome hunters at the lower band, and detached-home buyers near the top. A boundary-accurate listing alert is the practical way in; our team tracks every Cottonwood Terrace listing and closing and can arrange a showing the day something hits the market.
