The Bellacere ZIP area (89144) carried 135 active listings in September 2026 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, though Bellacere itself holds only about 120 total homes — the wider ZIP blends adjacent Canyons-village neighborhoods. The newest Bellacere-area listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active home is searchable in our live Las Vegas MLS portal.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
ZIP 89144 carries a $649,500 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS September 2026 data, but Bellacere estates trade from $1.5M to $5M-plus — well above the ZIP floor. The bands below model the area's 135 active listings, with Bellacere occupying the top tiers.
Bellacere's approximately 120 homes turn over rarely — when one lists, it moves quickly against 135 ZIP 89144 active listings per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. The links below open our live Las Vegas luxury search, and our team monitors Bellacere estate listings the moment they hit the MLS.

Custom alerts by price, bed count, and view tier — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. Bellacere estates surface rarely and move quickly in a 17-day ZIP-area market per Las Vegas REALTORS pace data; alert subscribers see new listings within hours of hitting the MLS, not after the open house.
Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. 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.

Bellacere delivers 85 gated acres, roughly 120 custom estates, 24-hour guard staffing, and panoramic mountain views inside The Canyons village — placing Downtown Summerlin 5 minutes away and Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west. City of Las Vegas services cover the broader Las Vegas area, while the Summerlin master association maintains trails and parks.
Bellacere is known as one of the most private, low-density guard-gated enclaves in Summerlin North — roughly 120 estates on 85 acres with 24-hour staffed entry, panoramic Red Rock Canyon views, and custom homes from 4,000 to over 10,000 square feet.
It fits executives and high-net-worth households seeking genuine privacy at a Summerlin address — buyers who want the maturity of a 2003-vintage enclave, a 10/10-rated middle school zone, and a gate that means it.
Mornings run the Summerlin Trail System or Red Rock Canyon scenic loop, days revolve around Downtown Summerlin's dining and retail 5 minutes out, and TPC Summerlin puts PGA-caliber golf a short drive away.
Bellacere anchors The Canyons village in Summerlin North, Las Vegas, NV 89144 — positioned west of the 215 beltway with Spring Mountain views to the north and Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west. About 85 acres within Summerlin's 22,500-acre master plan.
Quick Answer
Yes — for buyers seeking genuine privacy at a Summerlin address, Bellacere is among the valley's strongest ultra-luxury propositions. Roughly 120 estates on 85 gated acres, a 24-hour staffed gatehouse, panoramic mountain views, a 10/10-rated zoned middle school, and Nevada's zero state income tax combine to make the price argument against California luxury straightforward. The honest trade-offs: thin inventory means patience is required, HOA dues run $500 to $1,000 monthly, and comps are scarce enough that pricing negotiation demands a specialist.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Bellacere — the broader city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records put Bellacere's roughly 120 households well above that citywide median, with an average income estimated above $400,000.
The Census does not break Bellacere 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 executives relocating for the tax arbitrage, entertainment-industry principals, medical professionals from the Charleston corridor, and a share of international buyers seeking a Summerlin address.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Bellacere itself is essentially built out — the plan has been fully occupied since the mid-2000s — while its parent city and the Summerlin master plan compound steadily. Las Vegas has added over 150,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that growth keeps demand pressure on Bellacere's fixed supply of roughly 120 homes.
Inside Bellacere, growth means turnover, not expansion: a fixed 120-home enclave with no new supply possible behind the perimeter wall. Every new Summerlin resident adds indirect demand for the address, while the supply side never moves. That is the investment thesis of a built-out ultra-luxury enclave — scarcity compounds over time.

Market Competitiveness
ZIP 89144 averaged 17 median days on market over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS data — a brisk pace for a luxury ZIP. Bellacere itself trades even more selectively: roughly 120 homes mean few listings surface each year, and well-priced estates attract serious buyers quickly.
Bellacere is not a broad-market community — it is a highly specific ultra-luxury proposition: roughly 120 estates, a 24-hour guard gate, $1.5M-plus pricing, and the most private address in The Canyons village. Six buyer profiles below match lifestyles to the Bellacere proposition, followed by the honest pros and trade-offs our team walks every buyer through before they commit.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Bellacere showings require gate coordination — walk-in open houses are not standard practice inside a 24-hour guard-gated enclave of 120 homes.

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.

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
Summerlin Parkway, Charleston Boulevard, and the I-215 beltway grid the Bellacere area — most residents reach daily destinations inside Summerlin without a freeway. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 26 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data, and Bellacere-area residents typically beat that given the Summerlin master plan's generous internal road network.

Quick Answer
Most Bellacere purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases close in 7 to 14 days. Jumbo appraisals with thin comparables add time, especially in a market where Bellacere-specific closed sales are few. HOA resale-package delivery adds business days. Build inspection-response time into your timeline given estate-scale construction.
Quick Answer
Most Bellacere purchases are financed with jumbo loans requiring 10 to 20 percent down — $150,000 to $500,000 on a $1.5M entry-level estate. Portfolio and private-bank loans serve buyers with complex income. Cash transactions are common at the $3M-plus tier. Pre-arrange financing at the jumbo level, ideally with full underwriting, before requesting gate access for a showing — sellers here expect documented financial readiness.
Bellacere FAQ — 18 Answers
Bellacere estates run $1.5 million to over $5 million across 85 gated acres. ZIP 89144 carries a $649,500 median per Las Vegas REALTORS — Bellacere trades well above that floor. With only 120 residences and thin turnover, each closed sale carries outsized weight; pull the full comp sheet before negotiating.
Yes — Bellacere is fully guard-gated with a 24-hour staffed gatehouse. Approximately 120 homes share 85 acres, making it one of the lowest-density enclaves in Summerlin North. Strict architectural standards govern all construction and remodels. Buyers must tour with a licensed agent who coordinates gate access in advance; the gatehouse turns away unaccompanied visitors.
Bellacere sits in The Canyons village of the Summerlin North Association — the village that concentrates most of Summerlin guard-gated luxury alongside Aventura, Eagle Rock, and Canyon Fairways. Downtown Summerlin is about 5 minutes away, TPC Summerlin is nearby, and the Red Rock Canyon scenic loop is a 10-minute drive west. Village context matters when comparing association fees.
Bellacere is in ZIP 89144, Summerlin North, Las Vegas. The ZIP covers The Canyons and adjacent Summerlin villages. Residents reach Downtown Summerlin in roughly 5 minutes, Red Rock Canyon in 10, and the Strip in about 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway. The 89144 ZIP-area median is $649,500 per Las Vegas REALTORS — Bellacere homes trade well above that floor.
Both are guard-gated Summerlin ultra-luxury communities. The Ridges holds 800-plus homes, Bear's Best golf, and prices from $2M to $20M-plus. Bellacere is far more intimate at roughly 120 residences, enters at $1.5M, and rivals Ridges quality at the top. Choose Bellacere for lower density and privacy; The Ridges for golf-course living and broader inventory. Nevada Real Estate Group shows both in a single afternoon.
HOA dues typically run $500 to $1,000 per month — combining the Summerlin master association fee with the Bellacere sub-association fee for 24-hour gate staffing, security patrols, and common-area maintenance. With roughly 120 homes sharing the cost, dues fund genuine exclusivity. Verify exact amounts, reserves, and any special assessments in the resale package during Nevada's standard 30-to-45-day escrow.
Custom and semi-custom estates range from approximately 4,000 to over 10,000 square feet — soaring ceilings, imported stone and tile, gourmet kitchens with commercial-grade appliances, wine rooms, home theaters, and resort-style outdoor living with infinity pools and fire features. Generous lots create unusual privacy between estates. Finishes vary by original build budget; inspect thoroughly before closing.
Bellacere is zoned for Clark County School District campuses: Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 on GreatSchools) and Palo Verde High School (8/10) anchor the public tier, with Hummel Elementary (7/10) for younger grades. The Meadows School (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+) lead the private options nearby. Verify current attendance boundaries with CCSD before closing — zone assignments occasionally shift.
Plan roughly 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway east to I-15 south. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 30 minutes via I-215 south. Downtown Summerlin is 5 minutes, Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west. Most Bellacere residents work in Summerlin, the medical corridor on Charleston, or remotely — Strip commutes are the exception, not the daily pattern for this buyer profile.
Ultra-luxury guard-gated communities with fixed supply have historically held value through downturns and outperformed in growth cycles. Bellacere's investment thesis rests on roughly 120 total homes, no new supply possible inside the gated boundary, and the Summerlin brand — Howard Hughes Corporation's master plan — maintaining premium pricing pressure. Ask our team for Bellacere's closed-sale history before negotiating any price.
Rarely — Bellacere's roughly 120 homesites are largely built out. Vacant lots surface infrequently and architectural review board standards govern all construction. Most buyers enter through resale. Nevada Real Estate Group monitors lot opportunities across The Canyons village enclaves and can alert you the moment a Bellacere parcel or estate lists, before it reaches the broader market.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits about 10 minutes west — 195,819 acres of hiking, rock climbing, and scenic loop driving. The Summerlin Trail System connects through The Canyons village to 150-plus miles of paved paths. TPC Summerlin, site of the PGA Tour's Shriners Children's Open, is nearby, and Downtown Summerlin's parks and events calendar rounds out the outdoor picture.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and state law caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3 percent under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $2 million Bellacere purchase, budget approximately $12,000 to $14,000 annually. Long-held homes may carry abated bills — verify the post-sale assessment reset with the Assessor before budgeting.
Residents enter with transponders or access codes; guests must be pre-approved by the homeowner and added to the gatehouse list before arrival. Service providers follow the community's vendor access policy. Gate staff know the community's traffic patterns well given the low density of roughly 120 homes. All real estate showings are coordinated through a licensed agent who arranges gate credentials in advance.
Four factors matter most. First, comps are thin — roughly 120 homes mean each closed sale carries outsized weight; pull every transaction from the past two years. Second, HOA reserves and architectural board rules govern renovations. Third, Nevada's 3 percent property-tax cap resets after sale — budget the post-close assessment. Fourth, pre-arrange financing at the jumbo or portfolio level before you tour; gate access requires a scheduled appointment.
Most Bellacere purchases are financed with jumbo loans requiring 10 to 20 percent down — $150,000 to $500,000 on a $1.5M entry home. Portfolio and private-bank loans are common for buyers with complex income structures. Cash transactions account for a significant share of closings at this tier. Pre-approval at the jumbo level, ideally underwritten, is essential before the gate will welcome a buyer tour.
Most Bellacere closings run 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies. Jumbo appraisals at this price point can add time, especially when comparables are thin. HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days. Cash purchases can close in 7 to 14 days. Build inspection-response time into your timeline given the estate-scale construction involved.
Bellacere features 24-hour gate staffing, security patrols, perimeter walls, and entry-point surveillance. Low density is the quiet advantage — roughly 120 homes on 85 acres means minimal through-traffic and easy anomaly detection. Most residents supplement with private alarm systems and smart-home security. Request current security program details with the resale disclosure package before closing.

These are the eight questions Bellacere buyers search most often — each answered in two or three sentences drawing on community records, City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS, and GreatSchools ratings. Every figure is sourced and independently checkable well before you make an offer.
Bellacere is in Las Vegas, Nevada (ZIP 89144) — within the Summerlin North master plan developed by Howard Hughes Corporation. Despite the Summerlin address residents use colloquially, the legal jurisdiction is City of Las Vegas, which provides municipal services and LVMPD police coverage.
Approximately 120 custom and semi-custom estates across 85 gated acres. That low count is intentional — Howard Hughes Corporation built Bellacere as an ultra-low-density enclave, and no new homesites are available. When a Bellacere estate lists, it is one of very few options in the market at any given time.
Yes — Bellacere is a guard-gated enclave within The Canyons village of the Summerlin North Association, Howard Hughes Corporation's 22,500-acre master-planned community. Residents carry a Las Vegas, NV 89144 mailing address and are subject to both the Bellacere sub-association and the Summerlin master association CCRs and dues.
Bellacere's estates reflect a Mediterranean and contemporary-transitional aesthetic — the architectural review board maintains a cohesive upscale character across all 120 homes. Expect imported stone and tile, tile rooflines, courtyard entries, and resort-style outdoor living areas. All remodels and additions require architectural board approval before construction begins.
Most Bellacere estates include private resort-style pools — infinity-edge, custom shape, with water features and outdoor kitchens standard at this price point. There is no community pool; the HOA dues cover gate security and common-area maintenance, not shared recreational amenities. Verify pool condition and mechanicals in your inspection.
Lot sizes in Bellacere are among the most generous in The Canyons village — typically 0.3 to over 0.5 acres for standard estates, with Bellacere Summit and Estates tiers reaching larger. Generous setbacks between homes are a core selling point of the enclave and a key differentiator from higher-density Summerlin guard-gated communities.
Bellacere itself is an estate enclave, not a walkable neighborhood in the urban sense. The Summerlin Trail System connects from the perimeter for recreational walking and cycling, and Downtown Summerlin is a 5-minute drive. Most residents drive for daily errands — walking is for trail recreation, not commuting or shopping.
All Bellacere showings are coordinated through a licensed real estate agent who arranges gate credentials with the guardhouse in advance. The gatehouse does not admit unaccompanied visitors. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 — our team handles all gate coordination and can schedule a private estate tour, often paired with adjacent Aventura and Canyon Fairways for a full Canyons-village comparison.
