The takeaways below unpack why view-lot premiums and HOA stacking matter most here.

Mountain Trails carries 250-plus guard-gated homes priced $1M–$5M+ inside ZIP 89134 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data and the community plan record. The newest area listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active listing is searchable in our live MLS portal filtered to the 89134 ZIP.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
Mountain Trails' 250-plus homes span $1M to $5M+ with view-lot premiums driving wide variation per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data and the community plan record. The three tiers below reflect the actual sub-enclave structure: entry semi-custom, mid-range premium, and summit custom estates.
Mountain Trails' 250-plus guard-gated homes break into three architectural tiers and two view categories — each link opens our live Las Vegas MLS search, with counts updated daily from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. View-lot availability is the variable that moves fastest; set an alert to be first in line.
Mountain Trails organizes into three price-and-size tiers. Counts show area active listings in each price band — gate-interior inventory is very thin, typically a handful per quarter.

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.

Living in Mountain Trails means 24-hour staffed gates, sweeping views of Red Rock Canyon and the Strip, and custom estates seven minutes from Downtown Summerlin. The community sits within the City of Las Vegas, developed by Howard Hughes Corporation, with Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) in zone and Red Rock Canyon twelve minutes west.
Mountain Trails is known for its multi-directional views — Red Rock Canyon to the west, the Las Vegas Strip to the southeast — combined with a 24-hour staffed guard gate, custom and semi-custom estates from 3,000 to 7,500-plus square feet, and the strongest school-zoning lineup in Summerlin North.
Executives and professionals who want gated privacy with exceptional views, California relocators trading coastal taxes for Nevada's zero income tax, and families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High School zoning inside an established Summerlin North village.
Morning walks on the Summerlin trail network connecting directly to Red Rock Canyon, seven-minute drives to Downtown Summerlin for dining and shopping, weekend hikes in a 195,000-acre conservation area, and evenings with Strip-skyline views from your pool deck.
Mountain Trails sits in The Hills village of Summerlin North in Las Vegas (ZIP 89134), on elevated terrain between Hillpointe Road and the western edge of the village. About 150 acres. Roughly 15 miles northwest of the Strip, with direct Summerlin Parkway access.
Quick Answer
Yes — if panoramic views, gated privacy, and top-tier school zoning top your list. Mountain Trails pairs a 24-hour staffed gate and 250-plus custom estates on elevated terrain with a school lineup anchored by Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and a location seven minutes from Downtown Summerlin. The trade-offs are real — $400–$1,000 monthly HOA stack, built-out supply, and jumbo financing requirements — but for buyers who value views, security, and Summerlin North's established character, few addresses in the valley compete.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city containing Mountain Trails — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the Mountain Trails gate, the profile inverts sharply: community records show roughly 750-plus residents across 250-plus households, median age near 49, and average household income above $300,000.
The Census does not tabulate the enclave separately, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the gates, our closing data shows a mix of senior executives and entrepreneurs, California relocators trading coastal taxes for Nevada's zero income tax, families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), and established Summerlin residents who upgraded from the village's non-gated neighborhoods.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Mountain Trails itself is deliberately finished — 250-plus homes since the community built out, with growth happening through remodels and custom rebuilds rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and Summerlin North remains among the most in-demand corridors in the metro for established luxury buyers.
Inside the gates, growth is structurally capped: 150 acres, 250-plus homes, a 24-hour staffed gate, and the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan all mean the rooftop count is fixed. That scarcity dynamic — fixed supply meeting persistent Summerlin North demand — is the structural foundation for strong long-run appreciation. Turnover is very thin; the community trades only a handful of homes in any quarter.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Open houses are rare inside Mountain Trails — a guard-gated community with verified entry means most sellers show by appointment only, coordinated through the gate in advance. Set up instant alerts to be notified the moment a Mountain Trails home schedules an open house — or browse every active listing now and let us arrange private, gate-cleared showings.
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.

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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Mountain Trails runs on a professional economy: senior executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and established business owners with average household income above $300,000 per community records. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and the Summerlin North corridor around Mountain Trails houses the valley's most concentrated executive residential base.

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 is Mountain Trails' main artery east: seven minutes to Downtown Summerlin, twenty to the Strip, thirty to the airport. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Mountain Trails destinations beat that comfortably.

Quick Answer
Most Mountain Trails purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers — common at the $2M+ estate tier — close in 10–14 days. Jumbo files above $1.5 million sometimes need extra appraisal time given scarce gate-interior comparables, so plan 45 days. HOA document review adds a few days regardless.
Quick Answer
Most Mountain Trails buyers put down 20% to 25%. Every tier above the conforming loan limit requires jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of reserves. On a $1.5 million purchase that means $300,000–$375,000 down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans but require a VA-approved jumbo lender and a property that meets VA standards. Get pre-approved by a jumbo-experienced Las Vegas lender before your first gate-cleared showing.
Mountain Trails FAQ — 18 Answers
Mountain Trails homes span roughly $1 million for semi-custom residences to more than $5 million for full-custom estates on the highest elevation lots — a range confirmed by $498,000 area data and the community plan record. Sizes run 3,000 to 7,500-plus square feet across 250-plus homes on 150 acres. The widest premiums attach to multi-directional view lots; our team pulls recent gate-interior closings before you offer.
Yes — Mountain Trails operates a 24-hour staffed guard gate with security patrols and perimeter walls, and it is the only guard-gated enclave within The Hills village of Summerlin North. Established in 1998, the community pairs that security layer with mature landscaping and a settled neighborhood character that takes decades to earn. Gate access for showings is coordinated by your agent in advance; we handle that for every tour.
Mountain Trails anchors The Hills village in the Summerlin North Association — the village's premier and only guard-gated enclave. That positions Downtown Summerlin about seven minutes away via Summerlin Parkway, Red Rock Canyon about twelve, and the Strip roughly twenty. Buyers comparing Summerlin North villages should weigh The Hills' maturity against newer villages farther west before deciding.
Multi-directional views are the community's signature: Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains to the west, the Las Vegas Strip and valley floor to the southeast, and the Sheep Range to the north. That breadth is rare even among Summerlin's luxury communities and is the primary reason comparable view lots command premiums of $300,000 to $700,000 over non-view positions. Visit shortlisted homes at different hours to judge sightlines yourself.
Budget $400 to $1,000 per month, combining the Summerlin master-association fee with the Mountain Trails sub-association assessment for guard gate staffing, security patrols, and community maintenance. Dues vary by property, so request the resale package early in escrow — Nevada's standard 30-to-45-day close gives you adequate review time. We benchmark these fees against comparable gated enclaves to make sure you're not surprised.
Zoning covers Red Rock Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of the highest-rated middle schools in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10). Private options include The Meadows School (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+); Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10) leads the charters. Verify current CCSD boundaries at the parcel level before you close — boundary adjustments do happen.
The Ridges ($2M–$20M+) is Summerlin's ultra-luxury flagship built around Bear's Best golf; Mountain Trails ($1M–$5M+) delivers guard-gated luxury at a lower entry price with comparable multi-directional views, 1998-vintage established character, and the same strong Summerlin North school zoning. Buyers who prioritize views and security over the marquee address find Mountain Trails the sharper value play — we tour both to help you feel the difference.
Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% 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 a $1.5 million Mountain Trails home that means approximately $7,500–$11,250 per year — a fraction of comparable gated estates in coastal California. Zero state income tax reinforces the carrying-cost advantage for relocating households.
California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Pair that with Mountain Trails' roughly 0.5–0.75% effective property-tax rate (capped at 3% annual growth) versus California's 1.0–1.25% base, and the ownership math for a $1.5M–$3M luxury home strongly favors Nevada.
Beyond 24-hour staffed entry, Mountain Trails includes controlled vehicle access, security patrols within the perimeter, and perimeter walls. With 250-plus homes across 150 acres, density stays low enough for meaningful patrol coverage. Guard-gated communities commonly add entry-point cameras and emergency-response coordination — confirm exact provisions in the resale package. The security stack has been in continuous operation since 1998, per the community plan record.
Mountain Trails dates to 1998 and is substantially built out, so vacant custom lots are scarce and surface only through resale. Howard Hughes Corporation's architectural guidelines govern any new construction inside the gate. Nevada Real Estate Group monitors lot and teardown opportunities across Summerlin's guard-gated communities — share your build brief and we alert you when something fits, here or in a comparable enclave.
Strong, with structural support that most communities lack. Guard-gated luxury in established Summerlin North has outperformed the broader Las Vegas market through multiple cycles per Las Vegas REALTORS data. Mountain Trails' fixed supply of 250-plus homes creates a permanent scarcity premium; Nevada's zero income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 keep long-run ownership costs predictable. Ask for gate-interior comparable sales before pricing a purchase or listing.
Direct. The Summerlin trail system threads through The Hills village and connects Mountain Trails residents to a 150-plus-mile network managed by Howard Hughes Corporation and Clark County that ultimately links to Red Rock Canyon's trailheads twelve minutes west. Morning runs, cycling, and dog walks on paved multi-use paths with unobstructed desert and mountain views — a lifestyle asset that newer Summerlin villages farther from the mountains cannot replicate.
Four things move real money here. First, view-lot premiums: elevation and orientation add $300,000 to $700,000 over non-view positions — visit at multiple times of day. Second, HOA stack: budget $400–$1,000/month combining master and sub-association. Third, jumbo financing: homes above the conforming loan limit need reserves-backed jumbo programs. Fourth, comps: 250-plus homes with wide custom variation demands judgment — call (702) 637-1759 and we pull gate-interior closings before you write.
Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1 real estate team in Nevada with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total sales volume. We coordinate gate access for every showing, track gate-interior comps that the public MLS often misses, and handle out-of-state relocation from virtual tours through closing. Our Summerlin specialists know Mountain Trails' view-premium micro-market better than any other team in the valley.
Most Mountain Trails buyers put down 20% to 25%. Homes above the conforming loan limit require jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of reserves. On a $1.5 million purchase that means $300,000–$375,000 down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans but require a VA-approved jumbo lender. Get pre-approved by a jumbo-experienced lender before your first gate-access showing — sellers here verify financing before accepting offers.
Most purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers, common at the $2M+ custom-estate tier, can close in 10–14 days. Jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time because true gate-interior comparables are scarce — plan for 45 days if financing over $1.5 million. HOA document review (resale package, reserve study, CC&Rs) adds a few days regardless of how you're paying.
Extremely thin by design. The community's 93% ownership rate means rental listings surface only a few times per year. When they appear, executive leases run $6,000–$12,000 per month depending on size and view. Short-term rentals are heavily restricted by the City of Las Vegas and the association CC&Rs — never underwrite vacation-rental income on a Mountain Trails purchase. Most investors here buy for long-hold scarcity appreciation, not yield.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
The eight questions Mountain Trails buyers ask most — answered with verifiable specifics: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, tax law from Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, school ratings from GreatSchools, and community facts from the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record. Every figure is sourced.
Yes — Mountain Trails is the guard-gated enclave within The Hills village, part of the Summerlin North Association in the Howard Hughes Corporation 22,500-acre Summerlin master plan. It sits in Las Vegas (ZIP 89134), not the incorporated City of Summerlin.
The Ridges ($2M–$20M+) is Summerlin's ultra-luxury flagship with Bear's Best golf; Mountain Trails ($1M–$5M+) delivers guard-gated luxury at a lower entry with comparable multi-directional views and the same Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) zoning. Buyers who prioritize value-per-view over the marquee address find Mountain Trails the sharper proposition.
ZIP code 89134, in the Summerlin North corridor of Las Vegas. The community spans 150 acres within The Hills village, with pricing from $1 million to over $5 million. Use 89134 for insurance, commute, and school research, and confirm parcel-level details through the resale package during Nevada's standard 30-45 day escrow.
Red Rock Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of Nevada's highest-rated public schools), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per Clark County School District zoning. Always verify at the parcel level before you close — CCSD boundary adjustments do happen.
Approximately 250-plus across 150 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record — custom and semi-custom single-family estates from 3,000 to 7,500-plus square feet. The community is substantially built out, making that number the permanent supply cap.
No — it is a guard-gated community with 24-hour staffed entry, and every visitor is verified. Buyers tour with a licensed agent who arranges gate clearance in advance; call (702) 637-1759 and we typically coordinate same-day access for qualified buyers.
Multi-directional view exposure — Red Rock Canyon west, Strip southeast, Sheep Range north — is structurally irreplaceable on elevated terrain. View-lot premiums of $300,000 to $700,000 over comparable non-view positions reflect permanent scarcity: once the elevated lots are built, no new ones can be created.
Exceptionally so. Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) is one of Nevada's highest-rated public middle schools; Red Rock Elementary (8/10) and Palo Verde High (8/10) complete a top-tier CCSD lineup. Direct Summerlin trail access and Hills Park nearby round out the family appeal inside gated streets with no through-traffic.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. Because Mountain Trails has only 250-plus homes, we present area statistics (89134 ZIP luxury tier) as area benchmarks — never enclave-specific claims — and omit per-tier medians that small samples cannot support. Follow any link below to verify a figure.
Methodology: Listing data is sourced via Repliers IDX feed (Las Vegas MLS) and refreshed every 15 minutes. Demographic and economic data are pulled monthly via Census/BLS APIs. School data is refreshed quarterly. All comparisons are like-for-like (same metric, same time period).
