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.

Durango Ranch is a 150-acre established community in southwest Las Vegas — 900-plus Pardee Homes single-family homes, HOA fees from $45 to $130 monthly, and 15-minute Strip access without resort-corridor pricing. City of Las Vegas handles municipal services; Nevada's zero income tax makes every dollar go further.
Durango Ranch is known as a well-located, established southwest Las Vegas community — Pardee Homes' 2000-era build-out that brought 900-plus single-family homes, mature landscaping, and 15-minute Strip access to ZIP 89148 at prices that remain accessible relative to the broader Las Vegas Valley.
It fits first-time buyers seeking FHA-eligible pricing in an established neighborhood, California relocators trading state income tax for single-family space, move-up buyers stepping from condos to a private yard, value-add investors targeting condition-gap opportunities, and working households who need Strip or Downtown commute access without resort-corridor cost.
Mornings walk quiet, mature-landscaped streets or drive to Sunset Park's 324-acre lake and trail system; afternoons run Strip-adjacent errands or commute to nearby employment corridors; evenings return to a private single-family yard with southwest Las Vegas's characteristically clear desert skies.
Durango Ranch anchors southwest Las Vegas in ZIP 89148, approximately 15 miles from the Strip along the I-215 beltway corridor. About 150 acres, 900-plus homes established in 2000 by Pardee Homes.
Quick Answer
Yes — by every value-driven metric, Durango Ranch is one of southwest Las Vegas's most compelling addresses under $650,000. It delivers mature landscaping, 15-minute Strip access, low HOA fees of $45 to $130 monthly, and single-family homes with private yards at prices that remain accessible to first-time buyers and move-up households. The honest trade-offs: public schools rate 5–6/10 on GreatSchools, and there is no perimeter security gate. Nevada's zero state income tax offsets carrying costs compared with every California alternative.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city — the municipality containing Durango Ranch — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records place Durango Ranch at 2,700-plus residents across 900-plus households, with an average household income estimated around $65,000 and a 55% homeownership rate.
The Census does not break Durango Ranch 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 entering the market in the $380,000 to $480,000 band, California and Pacific-Northwest relocators seeking single-family space without coastal pricing, working households who commute to Strip and southwest corridor employment, and value-add investors targeting original-condition homes for renovation-driven appreciation.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Durango Ranch itself is built out — the 900-plus home community completed its Pardee Homes development in the early 2000s — while southwest Las Vegas and the broader Enterprise corridor continue adding residents and commercial development. Las Vegas has grown by roughly 120,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the southwest quadrant has absorbed a disproportionate share of that growth through new construction and resale absorption.
Inside Durango Ranch, growth means resale turnover rather than expansion: the 900-home community is built out, so every new southwest Las Vegas resident seeking an established single-family neighborhood competes for a fixed supply. That demand against a capped inventory keeps the market active and resale values supported — the investment logic of a finished community in a still-growing metro.

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.

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
The I-215 beltway puts Durango Ranch 15 minutes from the Strip and 20 minutes from Harry Reid Airport — one of the best commute-to-cost ratios in the valley. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data; most Durango Ranch residents heading to Strip or southwest corridor employers run under that mark.

Quick Answer
Most Durango Ranch purchases close in 30 to 45 days — Nevada uses escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash buyers can close in 10 to 14 days. FHA loans add time for mandatory appraisal requirements. Order the HOA resale package on acceptance day so dues, reserves, and special-assessment disclosures clear before inspection contingency deadlines.
Quick Answer
Most Durango Ranch buyers put down 3.5 to 20 percent. FHA allows 3.5% down — helpful for the $380K to $500K entry band where many first-time buyers are focused. Conventional 97 and HomeReady programs let qualified buyers put down 3 percent. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans. At $450,000, 10% down is $45,000 and avoids jumbo financing; 20% down is $90,000 and eliminates PMI entirely.
Durango Ranch FAQ — 18 Answers
Homes in Durango Ranch list from roughly $380,000 for original-condition resales to $650,000 for updated homes on larger lots. The surrounding ZIP 89148 carried a $514,950 median list and a $496,500 median sold price over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS — and condition drives the spread inside the community more than raw age. Updated kitchens, baths, and HVAC systems command clear premiums over original 2000-era finishes, so price the specific home, not just the address.
No. Durango Ranch is an open-street community with no perimeter gate or controlled vehicle access. HOA fees of $45 to $130 per month fund common-area landscape maintenance and neighborhood upkeep rather than security infrastructure. Buyers who want staffed gate security in southwest Las Vegas should also look at guard-gated options in the Summerlin master plan approximately 25 minutes northwest. Nevada Real Estate Group can arrange side-by-side tours of both community types in a single outing.
Durango Ranch sits in ZIP 89148, Las Vegas, Nevada. The ZIP covers southwest Las Vegas and a portion of the broader Enterprise unincorporated area. Drive times from Durango Ranch run about 15 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes to Downtown Las Vegas, 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport via I-15 or I-215, and 25 minutes to Summerlin via US-95. The ZIP-area median list price is $514,950 per Las Vegas REALTORS data.
HOA dues in Durango Ranch run $45 to $130 per month depending on the specific home and sub-association. Fees generally cover common-area landscaping maintenance, neighborhood upkeep, and community governance. During escrow, request the full resale package — current dues, reserve fund balance, CC&Rs, and any pending special assessments — early enough to review before your contingency deadlines. Standard Nevada escrows run 30 to 45 days, so ordering documents the day of acceptance keeps you well inside your review window.
Durango Ranch is zoned for Clark County School District campuses: John C. Fremont Elementary (6/10 GreatSchools), Fremont Middle School (5/10), and Clark High School (6/10). Private options include Bishop Gorman High School (A+) and The Meadows School (A+, PreK–12), both roughly 20 minutes away. Charter alternatives include Coral Academy of Science (8/10) and Nevada State High School (7/10). CCSD assignments are strictly address-based — confirm your specific home's zoning with the district before committing to a purchase.
Durango Ranch features single-family homes built by Pardee Homes beginning in 2000, spanning a range of floor plans across 150 acres and 900-plus residences. Two decades of mature desert landscaping and settled infrastructure give the neighborhood proven character. As a built-out community, supply is finite and condition-driven: updated homes with refreshed kitchens, open-concept modifications, and newer roofing command premiums, while original-condition listings offer value-add opportunity for buyers willing to renovate.
Durango Ranch is approximately 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via local southwest Las Vegas corridors. Downtown Las Vegas is also about 15 minutes, Harry Reid International Airport about 20 minutes via I-15 or I-215, and Summerlin about 25 minutes via US-95 or Summerlin Parkway. Short commutes without paying resort-corridor pricing are a core part of the community value. Nevada Real Estate Group recommends a rush-hour drive test before making your final decision.
Pardee Homes developed Durango Ranch beginning in 2000, building out the 150-acre community with 900-plus single-family homes over the course of the early 2000s. Pardee — part of TRI Pointe Group — is a nationally respected production builder known for well-planned floor plans and quality construction. Two decades of resale history means comps are plentiful and pricing is transparent, which benefits both buyers and sellers compared with newer communities where closed sales are thin.
Three notable parks serve Durango Ranch residents. Sunset Park (324 acres, East Sunset Rd) offers a lake, sports fields, disc golf, and trails — one of the largest parks in the Las Vegas Valley. Lorenzi Park (40 acres, W Washington Ave) features lakes, a playground, and walking paths. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs (680 acres, northwest Las Vegas) provides ponds, picnic areas, walking trails, and wildlife viewing. All are free-admission City of Las Vegas parks, per the City of Las Vegas parks department.
Nevada carries one of the lowest property-tax burdens in the West — the effective rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor. On a $500,000 purchase, expect $2,500 to $3,500 annually. Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3 percent. One key note: long-held Durango Ranch homes often carry abated tax bills that reset to current market value after sale — verify the post-sale figure with the Assessor before finalizing your ownership-cost budget.
ZIP 89148 shows 302 active listings and a 27-day median from list to accepted offer per Las Vegas REALTORS data, reflecting a balanced-to-buyer-friendly market in the broader southwest Las Vegas corridor. Durango Ranch itself is a 900-home built-out community, so individual listings compete primarily on condition and price — well-prepared, accurately priced homes still move within a few weeks. Overpriced or original-condition homes sit longer, which benefits patient buyers.
With over two decades of closed sales data, Durango Ranch has deep, transparent comps — a structural advantage over newer communities where thin resale history makes appraisals difficult. Southwest Las Vegas has tracked the broader Las Vegas appreciation cycle closely, and the ZIP 89148 corridor carried a $496,500 median sold price over the past hundred days per Las Vegas REALTORS. Condition-driven premiums mean renovated homes here consistently outperform original-condition listings on a per-square-foot basis.
Durango Ranch offers value-add investment potential: condition-driven pricing spreads of $100,000 or more between original and renovated homes, a built-out 900-home supply with stable rental demand from proximity to the Strip and major employers, and HOA dues low enough to preserve cash flow. Short-term rental rules in Las Vegas require a city license — confirm the current ordinance with the City of Las Vegas before underwriting nightly income. Nevada Real Estate Group handles investor transactions and can pull rental-rate comps on request.
Four factors move real money in Durango Ranch. First, condition: the gap between original 2000-era finishes and updated homes runs $80,000 to $150,000 — price each listing specifically. Second, HOA clarity: dues run $45 to $130 monthly depending on sub-association; order documents immediately at acceptance. Third, tax reset: long-held homes re-assess at current market value after sale — confirm with the Clark County Assessor before budgeting. Fourth, school zoning: CCSD assignments are address-specific; verify before making an offer contingent on a school zone.

Most Durango Ranch buyers put down 3.5 to 20 percent. FHA allows 3.5% down on homes priced at or below the county limit — useful for first-time buyers in the $380K to $500K range. Conventional 97 and HomeReady programs let qualified buyers put down 3 percent. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans. At a $500,000 purchase, 5 percent down is $25,000; 20 percent is $100,000 and eliminates PMI. A lender pre-approval showing your true purchasing power matters more than the down payment percentage.
Most Durango Ranch 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. FHA and VA buyers should budget extra time for mandatory appraisal requirements; both loan types require the home to meet condition standards that can trigger repair negotiations. HOA resale-package delivery typically adds a few days to the escrow timeline — order documents the day you go under contract.
Yes. Durango Ranch combines accessible pricing from $380,000, established infrastructure, and a southwest Las Vegas location that keeps commutes manageable — three priorities that matter most to first-time buyers. The open-street format means no gate fees stacked on top of HOA dues, keeping carrying costs competitive. FHA and conventional 97 programs work well in this price range. Nevada Real Estate Group agents who specialize in first-time buyers can walk you through inspection priorities on 2000-era construction before you offer.

Eight common Durango Ranch buyer questions — answered with specifics from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings. Every figure links to a primary source.
Durango Ranch is a settled residential community with a homeownership-driven character and open-street layout. Las Vegas tracks below national violent-crime averages in FBI UCR comparisons. The open-street format means security depends on neighborhood stability rather than a controlled gate — a meaningful trade-off at the $45 to $130 monthly HOA price point.
ZIP 89148 — southwest Las Vegas, covering Durango Ranch and neighboring established communities including Durango Hills and Durango Trails. Drive times from this ZIP run 15 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes to Downtown Las Vegas, and 20 minutes to Harry Reid Airport via I-215.
No — Durango Ranch is a standalone established community in southwest Las Vegas, not part of the Summerlin master plan. Summerlin is approximately 25 minutes northwest via US-95 or Summerlin Parkway, with entry prices starting around $450,000. Durango Ranch offers comparable southwest living at a lower price point without the Summerlin HOA structure.
Durango Ranch was built by Pardee Homes beginning in 2000, making its homes approximately 25 to 26 years old as of 2026. That vintage means most homes are in or approaching first major HVAC, roofing, and water-heater replacement cycles. Budget a thorough inspection and factor deferred-maintenance costs into your offer price for original-condition listings.
No community pool exists — this is an open-street established community, not a resort-style master plan with shared amenities. Individual homeowners in Durango Ranch typically have or can add private pools; the single-family lot sizes generally support backyard pool installation. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group about pool-equipped listings if that is a priority.
Within the community, quiet residential streets are walkable for neighborhood exercise. The broader southwest Las Vegas arterial network requires a car for daily errands, dining, and most destinations. Sunset Park is drivable in about 20 minutes — not walkable from Durango Ranch. The community is fundamentally car-dependent, consistent with all southwest Las Vegas suburban neighborhoods.
Approximately 30 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — farther than Summerlin addresses but fully accessible for weekend recreation. The 13-mile Scenic Loop and 26 miles of hiking trails are well within reach for morning outings from Durango Ranch.
The fundamentals are reasonable: a 900-home built-out community with transparent 25-year comp history, a condition-driven spread of $80,000 to $150,000 between original and renovated homes for value-add potential, and stable southwest Las Vegas rental demand from Strip-adjacent employment. Returns depend on purchase condition tier and price — ask Nevada Real Estate Group for recent ZIP 89148 closed comps before writing an offer.
