School planning
Which Schools Serve a Las Vegas Address?
Ask the district for the address-specific school assignment for the enrollment year, since boundaries change, and confirm it before you buy. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; charter, magnet and private schools set their own rules. Check CCSD school zoning · Nevada Report Card
CRIME DATA
How Can You Check Reported Crime Near a Home?
Ask the law-enforcement agency that serves the address for its current reports, and compare places only across the same reporting period, boundary and offense definitions. Missing records do not mean zero crime, the FBI cautions against ranking communities on crime totals alone, and a citywide figure does not describe a particular street.

The Answer

City of Las Vegas services and zero Nevada state income tax stretch every relocating household's budget beyond what the $494K median suggests.
What is South Mountain known for?

Who should live in South Mountain?
It fits families seeking newer construction between $320K and $520K, professionals who value the I-215 corridor's commute flexibility, investors drawn to the area's 72 percent homeownership rate and steady rents, and California relocators who want mountain views without a luxury price tag.
What is daily life like?

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Mountains Edge Area Growing?
Mountains Edge was developed primarily between 2004 and 2010, so the plan's residential stock is largely set — but the surrounding Enterprise CDP has added population steadily, and the southwest valley's I-215 corridor continues attracting new retail and employment that supports neighborhood demand. Clark County as a whole has added roughly 456,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts.

3,500Mountains Edge master plan acres
85,081Enterprise CDP households (ACS 2020–24)
Enterprise CDP population, 2020–2024 (Census counts and ACS)
Inside Mountains Edge, growth means competition for the existing stock rather than new supply from South Mountain itself — the neighborhood built out between 2004 and 2010. That dynamic supports long-run price stability: each new household entering the southwest valley adds demand to a finished neighborhood without diluting it with competing inventory.
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau and City of Las Vegas. Enterprise CDP figures shown because the Census does not tabulate South Mountain or Mountains Edge separately. Enterprise CDP: 2020 is the decennial Census count and the last bar the ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimate; the Census redrew this area between 2010 and 2020 (land area 46.5 sq mi in 2010, 66.0 in 2020), so 2010 is not comparable and is omitted. Last updated September 2026.
The long view: the median sold price in ZIP 89178 rose 78% between 2015 ($225,000) and 2021 ($400,000), across 6,381 recorded closings — Las Vegas REALTORS MLS records via Repliers.

Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to South Mountain at Mountains Edge, get these in writing:
- The parcel's annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and abatement eligibility. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s tax cap. Nevada tax-abatement rules
- Lender, insurance and utility quotes for the exact address, plus the association's resale documents and any special assessments.
- The school assignment for the enrollment year, confirmed with the district.
- Your tax situation, reviewed by an adviser — California-source income can remain taxable after a move (Franchise Tax Board).
- Qualifying new residents generally must obtain a Nevada driver’s license and vehicle registration within 30 days. Check the Nevada DMV’s requirements and exceptions for your circumstances.

Cost of Ownership
What Will South Mountain Cost You Each Month?
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.
Illustrative Payment Estimator
Estimate Your South Mountain Payment
$3,746
Illustrative Monthly Payment
- Principal & Interest$2,961
- Property Tax$250
- Insurance$150
- HOA$200
- PMI$185
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
How should you compare buying with 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.
Purchase worksheet
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.
Rental worksheet
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.
Use scenarios rather than a promised break-even date
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
Which HOA charges apply to this address?
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.
Recurring charges
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.
Closing and special charges
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.
Rules and access
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
How Easy Is Getting Around From South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Blue Diamond Road handles daily errands without touching the freeway, and the I-215 beltway gives South Mountain fast access to Henderson, the airport, and the Strip. Mean Las Vegas commutes run near 26 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and from the southwest valley, residents often beat that average for Henderson-direction commutes.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Most South Mountain purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies, keeping the timeline predictable. Cash buyers can close in 7 to 14 days. Order both the Mountains Edge master-association and South Mountain sub-association resale packages at acceptance — the two-layer HOA is the most common delay.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Most South Mountain buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. Conventional loans start at 3 percent down; FHA allows 3.5 percent and covers most of the $320K to $520K range without jumbo financing. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans — a meaningful segment of the southwest Las Vegas buyer pool. On a $450,000 purchase, plan roughly $22,500 at 5 percent to $90,000 at 20 percent. Entry homes near $320,000 need as little as $11,200 down with FHA. The combined HOA of $60–$150 per month factors into your DTI calculation — build it into your pre-approval from the start.
South Mountain at Mountains Edge FAQ — 17 Answers
What Do South Mountain at Mountains Edge Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
The 89178 ZIP area — covering Mountains Edge and surrounding southwest Las Vegas neighborhoods — showed a median list price of $509,000 and a $482,500 median sold price in June 2026 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. South Mountain homes specifically trade between $320K and $520K, with pricing driven by floor plan, lot size, mountain-view premiums, and condition of the 2004-2010 construction stock. Entry-level three-bedroom homes open near $320K; larger four- and five-bedroom floor plans with upgraded finishes reach toward $520K and above.
Is South Mountain part of Mountains Edge?
Yes — South Mountain is a single-family neighborhood inside Mountains Edge, the 3,500-acre master-planned community in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley (ZIP 89178), developed primarily by Focus Property Group from 2004 through 2010. Buying in South Mountain means full access to the master plan's 100-plus-acre park system, the Exploration Peak Park summit trail, connected bike and walking paths, and community recreation facilities. Evaluate both the home and the Mountains Edge amenity package it unlocks when comparing this area to other southwest valley options.
What are HOA fees in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
HOA dues in South Mountain typically run $60 to $150 per month, reflecting a two-layer structure: the Mountains Edge master association assessment plus the South Mountain sub-association fee. Those combined dues fund the 100-plus-acre park system, trail network, community landscaping, and shared facilities — strong value relative to many Las Vegas master plans where dues run $200-plus for comparable amenities. Always pull the current assessment schedule and HOA resale package during escrow, since sub-association dues can vary by phase and are subject to annual adjustment.
What parks are near South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Mountains Edge delivers more than 100 acres of parks accessible from South Mountain. The flagship is Exploration Peak Park at 9700 S Buffalo Drive — 30 acres with a distinctive summit trail, amphitheater, playground, sports courts, and valley panoramas. Mountains Edge Regional Park adds walking trails, sports fields, a dog park, and picnic areas. Miles of connected trail links weave South Mountain to these parks without touching an arterial road, and additional green corridors are planned through remaining undeveloped parcels in the southwest corner of the plan.
What is the average days on market in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Homes sold across the 89178 ZIP area in June 2026 took a median of about 30 days from list to accepted offer per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Well-priced three- and four-bedroom homes in good condition typically draw offers within the first two weekends; homes that need cosmetic updates or carry above-market pricing sit longer. The southwest valley's family buyer pool is deep and price-sensitive — strategy matters more here than in tighter submarkets where every offer goes to multiple-bid.
What are property taxes like in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Property taxes are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3 percent under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723. On a $509,000 ZIP-area-median purchase, plan roughly $2,550 to $3,100 per year. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s property-tax cap. Verify the parcel’s annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and the new owner’s abatement eligibility with the county assessor.
Are there good schools near South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Clark County School District serves South Mountain; the primary zoned campuses are Wright Elementary (K-5, 7/10 GreatSchools), Faiss Middle School (6-8, 6/10), and Sierra Vista High School (9-12, 6/10). Charter options nearby include Doral Academy of Nevada and Pinecrest Academy, both rated 8/10 on GreatSchools. Private choices include Bishop Gorman High School, Mountain View Christian School, and Faith Lutheran Middle and High School. Attendance boundaries can shift as the southwest valley continues adding residents, so confirm current zoning for any specific address directly with CCSD before you offer.
How far is South Mountain at Mountains Edge from the Las Vegas Strip?
South Mountain sits about 25 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via I-15 North from the Blue Diamond Road interchange. Harry Reid International Airport runs roughly 20 minutes via the I-215/I-15 corridor, Henderson about 15 minutes east on I-215, and Summerlin around 30 minutes northwest. The southwestern location trades a slightly longer Strip commute for genuine mountain views and 100-plus acres of parks — test the actual drive at your commute hour before deciding, as I-15 southbound toward the airport can stack at peak times.
What is the cost of living in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
South Mountain delivers competitive cost of living for the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. The $509,000 ZIP-area median list price is modestly above the Las Vegas citywide $476K median, but HOA dues of $60 to $150 per month are reasonable for the amenity package included. Nevada's zero state income tax and a property-tax effective rate of roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent make monthly ownership costs substantially lower than comparable California suburbs. Blue Diamond Road and the I-215 corridor put grocery, dining, and retail options within five to ten minutes of South Mountain streets.
What amenities does Mountains Edge offer South Mountain residents?
Mountains Edge is one of the most amenity-rich master plans in the southwest Las Vegas Valley. Exploration Peak Park's 30-acre campus with its summit trail and amphitheater is the marquee attraction, while Mountains Edge Regional Park adds sports fields, a dog park, and walking paths. Trails connect neighborhoods to parks without crossing arterials. Blue Diamond Road's retail corridor — with grocery, dining, and services — sits minutes from South Mountain, and the I-215 beltway puts Henderson's commercial corridor and the airport within 15 to 20 minutes.
Is there new construction available near South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
South Mountain itself was built out between 2004 and 2010 — the homes are established resale rather than new construction. The broader Mountains Edge master plan still has active building in select parcels along its southwestern edge, and the broader southwest Las Vegas corridor has release schedules from major builders within 10 to 20 minutes. Buyers who want new-construction warranties with Mountains Edge proximity should ask our team about current release schedules in the southwest 89178 corridor, which change quarterly.
How does South Mountain compare to Nevada in property tax savings?
Nevada's property-tax advantage over California is one of the clearest numbers in real estate. The effective rate in Clark County runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor versus California's typical 1.1 to 1.2 percent on new purchases. On a $509,000 home, that gap saves South Mountain owners approximately $2,900 to $3,400 per year in property taxes alone — and stacked with zero Nevada state income tax, the annual ownership cost difference against a California Franchise Tax Board-taxed household earning $200,000 commonly exceeds $20,000 per year.
What is the rental market like in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Single-family homes in the 89178 ZIP area typically rent for about $2,100 to $2,800 per month (a rough NREG estimate; check current lease listings), with three-bedroom floor plans in good condition at the stronger end of the range. Owner-occupancy in Mountains Edge runs near 72 percent — which keeps rental vacancy low and tenant quality high. Short-term rental regulations in the City of Las Vegas are strict; investors should verify current ordinance requirements before underwriting any nightly-income strategy for a South Mountain property.
What should I know before buying in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Four factors move real money in South Mountain. First, HOA layers: verify both the master-association and sub-association dues, reserves, and CC&Rs in escrow — the combined $60 to $150 monthly range has variation by phase. Second, age of systems: 2004-2010 construction means HVAC units, water heaters, and roofing are approaching or past their service midpoints — budget inspection time accordingly. Third, school zones: boundaries shift as the southwest valley grows, so CCSD verification for the exact parcel is non-negotiable. Fourth, lot position: trail-backing and mountain-view lots command premiums that vary meaningfully by street.
What down payment do you need to buy in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Most South Mountain buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. Conventional loans start at 3 percent down for qualified buyers; FHA allows 3.5 percent and fits most of the $320K to $520K price range without jumbo financing. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans, and the southwest valley has a significant active-duty and veteran buyer pool. On the $509,000 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $25,500 at 5 percent to $101,800 at 20 percent. Jumbo financing only enters the picture at the upper end of the range for well-appointed five-bedroom floor plans.
What does an HOA cost in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
South Mountain carries a two-layer HOA structure: the Mountains Edge master-association assessment plus the South Mountain sub-association fee. Combined, dues typically run $60 to $150 per month, covering the 100-plus-acre park system, trails, and shared facilities. There is meaningful variation by phase — some sections run closer to $60, others near $150 — so always pull the full resale package, including dues, reserves, and any pending special assessments, during your inspection period.
How long does it take to close on a home in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Most South Mountain purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies, which keeps the timeline predictable. Cash buyers can close in 7 to 14 days. Financed buyers should allow 5 to 10 business days for HOA resale-package delivery per sub-association and a possible extra week for appraisal in busy spring months. Order both master and sub-association packages at acceptance to avoid delays.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
Eight questions South Mountain buyers actually search — covering ZIP 89178 pricing, school zones, HOA structure, the Las Vegas vs Henderson comparison, and Red Rock proximity — answered with specifics from the City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings so every figure is independently verifiable.
Is South Mountain in Las Vegas or Henderson?
Las Vegas. South Mountain is a neighborhood inside the Mountains Edge master plan in unincorporated Clark County, ZIP 89178. Services are provided by Clark County and LVMPD — Henderson is about 15 minutes east via I-215.
What ZIP code is South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
89178 — the single ZIP code covering the Mountains Edge master plan and surrounding southwest Las Vegas neighborhoods. MLS statistics at this ZIP level are broader than South Mountain itself; per-neighborhood figures require local comp analysis.
What developer built South Mountain?
Focus Property Group developed South Mountain as part of the Mountains Edge master plan from roughly 2004 through 2010. Focus Property Group is the master developer of the broader 3,500-acre community, which contains multiple named neighborhoods built over the same period.
How old are homes in South Mountain at Mountains Edge?
South Mountain homes were built between 2004 and 2010 — making them 15 to 22 years old in 2026. That means HVAC systems, water heaters, and roofing are approaching or past their typical service midpoints; budget diligent inspection coverage before waiving contingencies.
Does Mountains Edge have a golf course?
No — Mountains Edge does not have a golf course. The master plan's recreational anchor is its 100-plus-acre park system, Exploration Peak Park's summit trail, and miles of connected walking and biking paths. Buyers wanting golf proximity should look at Rhodes Ranch in the southwest valley.
Is South Mountain at Mountains Edge walkable?
By Las Vegas standards, quite well within the master plan: the connected trail network links South Mountain to Exploration Peak Park and Mountains Edge Regional Park without crossing arterial roads. For commercial errands, Blue Diamond Road requires driving — like most suburban Las Vegas communities.
How far is South Mountain from Red Rock Canyon?
About 15 minutes northwest via Blue Diamond Road — one of the southwest valley's most compelling location advantages. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers 30-plus miles of hiking, world-class climbing, a 13-mile scenic loop, and genuine desert wilderness a short drive from South Mountain driveways.
Is South Mountain at Mountains Edge a good investment?
The fundamentals are reasonable: a built-out 2004-2010 neighborhood inside a 3,500-acre master plan, 72 percent homeownership limiting competing rental supply, steady $2,100–$2,800 monthly rents, and 100-plus park acres that hold desirability. Returns depend on the specific block, lot position, and buy price — call (702) 637-1759 for a current CMA.

Where Does This South Mountain Data Come From?
Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. One honesty note: the MLS reports at ZIP level, and ZIP 89178 is broader than South Mountain — so area statistics are labeled as such, and per-neighborhood figures are NREG-modeled estimates. Follow any link to verify a figure.

Methodology: Listing counts, prices and days on market are NREG's analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data received through the Repliers feed; this page refreshes them about once a day, and each market figure carries its date or window. Census and BLS figures are the published vintage named beside them and change only when the agency releases new estimates. Confirm details for a specific home with its listing and the responsible agency.
