Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

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.

Durango Hills delivers established southwest Las Vegas living at an accessible price: 200 acres built out from 2002, 1,200-plus single-family homes from $400K to $700K, moderate HOA fees, and a 15-minute Strip commute that few communities at this price tier can match. City of Las Vegas handles municipal services, and Nevada's zero income tax keeps relocation math favorable.
Durango Hills is known as an established southwest Las Vegas value community — the 2002 multi-builder development that put 1,200-plus single-family homes in a 200-acre neighborhood close to the Strip, the airport, and Downtown Las Vegas at price points the valley's newer master-plans cannot match.
It fits first-time buyers stepping into southwest Las Vegas homeownership, relocating households who need Strip or airport proximity on a $400K–$700K budget, value investors targeting long-term holds in a proven established neighborhood, and move-up buyers who want more space than Spring Valley apartments without reaching Summerlin pricing.
Mornings run the internal residential streets or nearby Sunset Park, afternoons handle errands at Durango Drive retail before a quick Strip commute, and evenings return to a maturely landscaped single-family home in a neighborhood where the resident base has been stable for over two decades.
Durango Hills anchors the established residential tier of southwest Las Vegas in ZIP 89148, positioned along the Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road corridor. About 200 acres. Roughly 10–15 miles from the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — Durango Hills delivers strong value for buyers who prioritize location and price over premium amenities. The established 200-acre, 1,200-plus-home community offers a 15-minute Strip commute, $400K–$700K pricing, and moderate HOA fees in a neighborhood with over 20 years of proven character. The honest trade-offs: school ratings average 5–6/10 on GreatSchools for zoned public campuses, no community amenity center within the gate, and 2002-era construction requiring periodic capital investment. Nevada's zero state income tax sweetens every relocation to Durango Hills.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Durango Hills — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records place Durango Hills at approximately 3,600-plus residents across 1,200-plus households, with an average household income estimated around $65,000 and a 55% homeownership rate.
The Census does not break Durango Hills out as its own place, so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the community, our closing data shows a blend of first-time buyers and young families purchasing their first Las Vegas home, Southwest Las Vegas long-tenured residents, Strip and airport workers who prize the 15-to-20-minute commute, and value investors targeting long-term rental holds in a proven established neighborhood.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Durango Hills itself is built out — the 1,200-plus-home community completed development in the mid-2000s — while its parent city and the broader southwest Las Vegas corridor continue adding residents. Las Vegas has grown by roughly 120,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the southwest corridor along Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road has absorbed significant Enterprise and Spring Valley growth in the same period, keeping demand pressure on Durango Hills's established finite supply.
Inside Durango Hills, growth means resale turnover, not new supply: the 1,200-plus-home community is built out, so every new southwest Las Vegas household seeking established homeownership under $700K competes for the same fixed inventory. That scarcity dynamic — rising metro demand against a capped established stock — is the investment thesis for Durango Hills that newer communities without a track record cannot replicate.

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 the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
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.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.

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
Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road connect Durango Hills to US-95, I-15, and I-215 within minutes. The Strip runs about 15 minutes off-peak. Mean Las Vegas commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — Strip and airport workers from Durango Hills consistently beat that figure.

Quick Answer
Most Durango Hills purchases close in 30 to 45 days — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash buyers can close in 10 to 14 days. FHA buyers should budget extra time if the appraisal flags condition items on 2002-era homes. Order the HOA resale package the day you go under contract so dues and reserves clear before inspection deadlines.
Quick Answer
Most Durango Hills buyers put down 5% to 20%. At $500,000, FHA-eligible 3.5% down is $17,500; a conventional 10% is $50,000; 20% eliminates PMI at $100,000. VA loans offer 0% down for eligible veterans with full entitlement. Nevada Housing Division first-time buyer programs can further reduce cash-to-close. Confirm your specific loan type and down payment target with a lender before touring — clean pre-approvals win faster in the $450K–$550K tier.
Durango Hills FAQ — 18 Answers
Homes in Durango Hills trade in the $400,000 to $700,000 range, with the broader ZIP 89148 carrying a $514,950 median list price and a $496,500 median sold price in September 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS. Within Durango Hills itself, original-condition homes cluster near the lower end of that band while fully renovated properties — updated kitchens, new HVAC, resurfaced pools — push toward $650,000 to $700,000. The 2002 vintage means buyers compete on condition and lot size as much as square footage, so comparable selection matters more here than in a uniform new-build community.
Durango Hills is in ZIP 89148, southwest Las Vegas. The community sits roughly 15 minutes from the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, 20 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport via I-15 or I-215, and 25 minutes from Summerlin via US-95. That commute profile — fast to the Strip, fast to the airport, fast downtown — is rare at this price range in the Las Vegas Valley and is the single strongest argument for Durango Hills over competing established communities farther from the core.
HOA fees in Durango Hills run approximately $50 to $150 per month depending on the specific sub-association and property. At that level, dues typically cover common-area maintenance, neighborhood upkeep, and landscaping of shared spaces. Request the full resale package during escrow — current dues, reserve fund balance, CC&Rs, and any pending special assessments — before your contingency window closes. Nevada escrows typically run 30 to 45 days, which leaves ample review time if you order documents the day you go under contract.
Approximately 15 minutes via local southwest Las Vegas roads — one of the shortest Strip commutes available at the $400K–$700K price tier. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 20 minutes via I-15 or I-215, Downtown Las Vegas about 15 minutes, and Summerlin about 25 via US-95 or Summerlin Parkway. Verify your specific route at peak commute hours before settling on a home, as southwest Las Vegas traffic patterns can vary meaningfully by corridor and time of day.
Clark County School District serves Durango Hills with John C. Fremont Elementary (6/10 GreatSchools), Fremont Middle School (5/10), and Clark High School (6/10). Charter options include Coral Academy of Science (8/10) and Nevada State High School (7/10). Private standouts nearby include Bishop Gorman High School and The Meadows School, both rated A+ by GreatSchools. Confirm your specific address assignment with CCSD before closing — zone boundaries can shift between school years and individual street-level zoning sometimes differs from neighborhood-level expectations.
Durango Hills earns strong marks for location, price point, and neighborhood character. The 200-acre, 1,200-plus-home community was established in 2002 — mature enough to have proven its value trajectory and stable enough that the resident base skews long-tenured homeowners. Las Vegas tracks below national violent-crime averages in FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, and southwest Las Vegas as a corridor benefits from the same law-enforcement coverage as adjacent established communities. The honest trade-off compared to newer master-plans: aging infrastructure and original construction requiring periodic capital investment.
Durango Hills offers established single-family homes built across roughly 200 acres by multiple builders between 2002 and the mid-2000s. Floor plans vary genuinely — from approximately 1,400 square feet at the starter end to 2,800-plus in larger two-story models. Lot sizes, elevations, and garage configurations differ by section, which makes internal comparables nuanced. That diversity is an advantage for buyers across the $400K–$700K range: there is a fit for nearly every household profile. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for a specific comparable analysis before writing an offer.
ZIP 89148 showed 302 active listings and a 27-day median days on market in September 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS — a balanced-to-slightly-buyer-favorable pace compared with the valley-wide median. Well-priced, move-in-ready Durango Hills homes at the $450K–$550K tier still attract multiple offers from first-time buyers and investors. Original-condition homes at the top of the price band give buyers more negotiating room. The 27-day DOM also means sellers cannot afford to over-price: overpriced inventory sits while correctly priced homes move in two to three weeks.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor. On a $500,000 Durango Hills home, expect approximately $2,500 to $3,500 annually. Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual assessed-value increases on a primary residence at 3%, keeping long-term carrying costs predictable. One important note: long-held homes sometimes carry abated tax bills based on years of capped assessments — after sale, the assessed value resets to current market value. Verify the post-sale tax figure with the Clark County Assessor before finalizing your monthly budget.
Durango Hills residents are within reasonable distance of several City of Las Vegas parks. Lorenzi Park (about 40 acres on W Washington Ave) offers lakes, playgrounds, sports fields, and walking paths. Sunset Park (about 324 acres near E Sunset Rd) has a lake, disc golf, sports fields, and trails — one of the largest in the valley. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs (about 680 acres) offers ponds, picnic areas, walking trails, and wildlife habitat in a pastoral northwest setting. Community parks within the southwest corridor handle everyday recreation closer to home.
Both communities sit in the southwest Las Vegas ZIP 89148 corridor at similar price points ($400K–$700K for Durango Hills; $380K–$650K for Durango Ranch), but Durango Ranch was built primarily by Pardee Homes starting in 2000 — giving it a slightly more consistent architectural profile — while Durango Hills drew multiple builders from 2002, producing more floor-plan diversity. HOA fees are comparable ($50–$150 versus $45–$130). The commute profile and school zones are essentially identical. The choice often comes down to specific home condition and lot position rather than community-level differences. Nevada Real Estate Group can pull side-by-side comps from both communities on request.
No — Durango Hills completed its build-out in the mid-2000s and has no vacant lots or active builder phases. The market is entirely resale. Buyers wanting new construction in the southwest Las Vegas corridor should look to active communities in Enterprise or along the Durango Drive growth corridor to the south. Nevada Real Estate Group tracks active new-build phases valley-wide and can match buyers who need new construction with the right builder and price tier.
Four factors drive the most value variance inside Durango Hills. First, condition gap: 2002-era homes vary widely — fully renovated and original-condition homes can sit a few doors apart at $100,000-plus price differences, so set your comp filter to condition tier, not just address. Second, lot position: corner lots, pool lots, and north-facing rear yards all carry premiums. Third, HOA variance: sub-association fees and rules differ by section — verify before offering. Fourth, tax reset: long-held homes sometimes carry low abated assessments that reset to market value after sale. Model the post-close tax figure early in escrow so there are no budget surprises.
Yes — long-term rentals are fully permitted in Durango Hills. Southwest Las Vegas ZIP 89148 attracts steady tenant demand from workers at the Strip, Harry Reid Airport, and nearby employment centers, and Durango Hills's 15-minute Strip commute is a genuine leasing advantage. Short-term vacation rentals are tightly regulated in Las Vegas — confirm current City of Las Vegas ordinance requirements and any HOA rules before underwriting short-term income. Long-term holds are the lower-risk investor play in an established community at this price tier.
At the ZIP 89148 median of $496,500 (sold) with 20% down at 7%, principal and interest runs approximately $2,645 per month per Freddie Mac rate survey benchmarks. Add property tax at roughly 0.6% ($248/mo), homeowners insurance (~$130/mo), and HOA dues ($50–$150/mo) and you are looking at approximately $3,073 to $3,173 all-in per month before any PMI. That figure compares favorably with renting equivalent southwest Las Vegas homes, which typically run $2,400 to $3,200 per month for single-family units in the corridor — with the ownership side building equity and benefiting from Nevada's 3% tax cap over time.
Most Durango Hills buyers put down 5% to 20%. At $500,000, a 5% FHA-eligible down payment is $25,000; a conventional 10% is $50,000; 20% eliminates PMI at $100,000. FHA loans allow 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score. VA loans offer 0% down for eligible veterans with full entitlement. First-time buyer programs through Nevada Housing Division can reduce the cash-to-close further. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for a lender referral matched to your down payment target.
Most Durango Hills 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 should order the HOA resale package the day they go under contract so dues and reserves are verified before inspection contingency deadlines. FHA appraisals on 2002-era homes can flag condition items that require seller remediation — budget a few extra days if the property shows deferred maintenance.
Within the community, yes — internal streets are residential and pedestrian-friendly, and the established 2002-era neighborhood has sidewalks and mature street trees. For daily errands, southwest Las Vegas is car-dependent: grocery stores, restaurants, and retail along Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road are a short drive, not a walk. The neighborhood suits a car-first lifestyle with recreational walking and biking on internal streets.

Eight queries Durango Hills buyers ask most — answered with specifics sourced from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings. Every figure links to a primary source.
Durango Hills is in the City of Las Vegas in ZIP 89148 — not Henderson. The southwest Las Vegas address sometimes creates confusion because it borders Enterprise (Clark County unincorporated) and is near the Henderson city line, but Durango Hills mailing addresses say Las Vegas, NV 89148, and municipal services are provided by the City of Las Vegas.
ZIP 89148 — the southwest Las Vegas ZIP covering Durango Hills, Durango Ranch, Durango Trails, and the Warm Springs Road corridor. Drive times from this ZIP run 15 minutes to the Strip and Downtown, 20 minutes to Harry Reid Airport, and 25 to Summerlin.
No — they are neighboring communities in the same ZIP 89148 corridor. Durango Ranch was built primarily by Pardee Homes starting in 2000 with 900-plus homes; Durango Hills was built from 2002 by multiple builders across 200 acres with 1,200-plus homes. Both are non-gated established single-family communities with similar HOA levels and commute profiles.
Homes in Durango Hills were built primarily from 2002 through the mid-2000s, making them approximately 20 to 24 years old as of 2026. That vintage means buyers should inspect HVAC, roofing, water heaters, and pool equipment carefully — first major replacement cycles are either underway or approaching. Original-condition homes and fully updated ones can sit a few doors apart at significant price differences.
Most larger Durango Hills single-family homes have private pools in the backyard — this is a common amenity at the $500K–$700K tier. There is no shared community pool or HOA-maintained clubhouse within Durango Hills. Amenities here are private rather than shared, which keeps HOA fees low but means individual pool ownership comes with individual maintenance responsibility.
Within the community, yes — internal residential streets are quiet and pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks throughout the established 2002-era neighborhood. For daily errands, Durango Hills is car-dependent, as with all Las Vegas suburbs. Grocery, retail, and dining along Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road are a 5-to-10-minute drive.
Approximately 30 minutes northwest via Summerlin Parkway and West Charleston Boulevard. Durango Hills is closer to the airport and Strip than to Red Rock Canyon — buyers who prize outdoor access over commute convenience should weigh the southwest versus northwest Las Vegas trade-off carefully.
The fundamentals are solid: a built-out 1,200-plus-home community with no new supply, a 15-minute Strip commute that drives consistent long-term rental demand, and an established price tier from $400K that pencils for both primary-residence buyers and investors. Returns depend on condition tier, lot position, and specific purchase price. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent closed comps before writing an offer.
