KEY TAKEAWAYS

What Should You Know About Cresta Vista at a Glance?

Cresta Vista is a 230+ home move-up community in Summerlin ZIP 89135, built 2017 by William Lyon Homes under the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, with area median near $915,000 per NREG’s MLS analysis, 42 median days on market, and Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west. The takeaways below capture what matters most for buyers.

  • Move-up quality: 2017-vintage homes, 2,200–3,800 sq ft, premium Red Rock Canyon-view lots, and open-plan contemporary design throughout.
  • Location sweet spot: five minutes from Downtown Summerlin, ten from Red Rock Canyon, twenty from the Strip — the best of both access and outdoor recreation.
  • Best for: families with school-age children (Bonner 9/10, Rogich 10/10, Palo Verde 8/10), California relocators, and move-up buyers who want Summerlin quality without the guard-gate premium.
  • Limited supply: 230+ homes on 55 acres — a small plan with no room to expand, which supports long-run resale demand in a high-demand ZIP.
  • Do your homework: HOA stacking ($100–$280/mo master + sub), view-lot premiums ($50K–$150K+), and jumbo loan thresholds above $832,750 all need early diligence.

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.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Cresta Vista Area Growing?

Cresta Vista itself is largely built out at 230+ homes on 55 acres — growth happens through resale turnover, not rooftops. The surrounding ZIP 89135 corridor keep drawing residents: ZIP 89135 grew from 24,144 residents in the 2010 Census to 31,763 in 2020, and western Summerlin remains one of the most in-demand corridors in the valley.

+31.6%ZIP 89135 growth, 2010–2020 (Census)

ZIP 89135 population, 2010–2024 (Census counts and ACS)

Inside the plan, supply is structurally limited: 230+ homes on 55 acres with no land to expand. That scarcity, paired with ZIP 89135's consistently strong school ratings and Red Rock Canyon proximity, keeps demand steady. Resale listings in Cresta Vista trade in the $600K–$1M range and move in roughly 42 days — a market that rewards well-priced sellers and rewards patient buyers who understand the limited comparable pool.

Long-Hold Investors

  • ZIP 89135 demand consistently outpaces Las Vegas citywide averages
  • 2017 construction vintage reduces deferred-maintenance risk
  • Combine Nevada tax advantages with strong Summerlin appreciation track record
Best for Long-Hold Investors →

Best Fit For

  • California relocators — move-up quality at $600K–$1M, zero state income tax, and a 3% property-tax cap — a combination that is simply not available in California.
  • Outdoor-lifestyle buyers — Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west, 150+ miles of Summerlin trails from the doorstep, and year-round active-lifestyle weather.
  • Move-up buyers from Las Vegas — 2017-vintage construction and ZIP 89135's school ratings represent a meaningful step up from most Las Vegas neighborhoods.

Pros

  • Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area ten minutes from the community via W Charleston Blvd
  • Direct access to 150+ miles of Summerlin's master plan trail system for daily outdoor use
  • 2017-vintage William Lyon Homes construction — contemporary open layouts, 2,200–3,800 sq ft
  • Five minutes to Downtown Summerlin's 125+ retail, dining, and entertainment options
  • Zero Nevada state income tax and a 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under NRS 361.4723
  • Limited 230-home supply on 55 acres — structural scarcity that supports long-run value

Honest Considerations

  • No staffed gate — buyers who prioritize 24-hour security need to compare The Ridges or Red Rock Country Club at higher price points
  • Premium pricing from $600K — higher than many Las Vegas neighborhoods, though justified by schools and location
  • HOA stacking: $100–$280/mo combines master + sub-association dues — pull the full resale package before writing
  • Small comparable pool: with 230 homes, appraisals require careful judgment — comps are limited
  • Jumbo loan territory above $832,750 — 10–20% down plus reserves, and rates run higher than conforming
  • Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ stretches July through September, like the rest of the Las Vegas Valley

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to Cresta Vista at Summerlin?

Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to Cresta Vista at Summerlin, 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.

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.

COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION

How Easy Is Getting Around From Cresta Vista?

Cresta Vista sits at the W Charleston Blvd and Summerlin Parkway corridor — two of the west valley's most direct arteries. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Cresta Vista destinations beat that comfortably.

Drive Times from Cresta Vista

  • ~5 minDowntown Summerlin (shopping & dining)W Charleston Blvd east
  • ~10 minRed Rock Canyon NCAW Charleston Blvd west
  • ~12 minSummerlin Hospital Medical CenterSummerlin Pkwy north
  • ~15 minTPC Summerlin GolfSummerlin Pkwy north
  • ~20 minLas Vegas StripSummerlin Pkwy → I-15 south

  • ~30 minHarry Reid Intl AirportI-215 South
  • ~45 minMt. CharlestonUS-95 north → SR-157

Transportation Options

  • Driving

    The default — W Charleston Blvd connects directly to Downtown Summerlin, Red Rock Canyon, and the Summerlin Parkway interchange, giving Cresta Vista exceptional east-west and north-south reach without grid congestion.

  • RTC Transit

    RTC bus routes service the Charleston corridor just outside the community, but this is not a car-free neighborhood — residents should plan on owning a vehicle for most errands and commutes.

  • Cycling & Trails

    The Summerlin trail system connects directly from the community — 150+ miles of multi-use paths for cycling, jogging, and walking without touching a road. Red Rock Canyon's scenic loop is a top road-cycling route fifteen minutes away.

  • Rideshare

    Reliable and cost-effective this far west — airport runs typically run $35–$50, and pickups are easy on the open-access community streets.

Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.

Quick Answer

How long does it take to close on a home in Cresta Vista?

Most Cresta Vista purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should order the HOA resale package early — the Summerlin master + sub-association two-tier structure adds a few days for document review. Jumbo files above $832,750 occasionally need extra appraisal time given the limited 230-home comparable pool. Our team tracks every step and flags timeline risks before they become problems.

Quick Answer

What down payment do you need to buy in Cresta Vista?

Most Cresta Vista buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional loans work throughout the community — on a $750,000 home, plan roughly $37,500 (5%) to $150,000 (20%). Above $832,750, jumbo loans typically require 10–20% down plus six months of reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Nevada's zero state income tax means some California relocators redirect their first-year tax savings toward a larger down payment — our team models this scenario regularly.

Cresta Vista at Summerlin FAQ — 17 Answers

What Do Cresta Vista at Summerlin Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in Cresta Vista at Summerlin?

Ask for a current property-specific MLS report before relying on a neighborhood price summary. Confirm whether it measures asking or closed-sale prices, the boundaries and period, and the number of homes included. Compare homes of a similar type and size; a broader ZIP statistic may not represent this community.

Is Cresta Vista guard-gated?

No — Cresta Vista is an open-access community within the Summerlin master plan. Howard Hughes Corporation enforces architectural standards and maintains common areas, but there is no staffed gate. Buyers who want a staffed entry alongside Summerlin's amenities and Red Rock Canyon proximity can compare The Ridges (from ~$2M) or Red Rock Country Club (from ~$1.2M) nearby — our agents arrange back-to-back showings.

What are HOA fees in Cresta Vista?

Budget $100–$280 per month, which combines the Summerlin master association fee with Cresta Vista sub-association dues covering common-area maintenance, landscaping, and plan amenities. Because the stacking varies by sub-association, request the full resale package during due diligence — dues, reserve study, and any pending assessment. Our team flags HOA red lines well before the contingency deadline.

What schools serve Cresta Vista?

Students attend Clark County School District campuses: John W. Bonner Elementary (9/10 per GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), and Palo Verde High School (8/10). Private options include The Meadows School (PreK–12, A+) and Bishop Gorman High School (A+). Doral Academy Red Rock and Pinecrest Academy serve charter families. Always confirm current attendance boundaries for your specific address before writing an offer.

Who built homes in Cresta Vista?

William Lyon Homes — since absorbed into Taylor Morrison — developed Cresta Vista from 2017 under the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan. The 230+ homes emphasize open kitchens, large great rooms, and covered outdoor living areas across plans from 2,200 to 3,800 square feet. Our team knows every floor plan and can identify which elevations and lots have appreciated fastest since the community debuted.

How far is Cresta Vista from the Las Vegas Strip?

About twenty minutes via Summerlin Parkway to I-15, with Harry Reid International Airport roughly thirty minutes on I-215 South. The everyday wins are much closer: Downtown Summerlin is five minutes out and Red Rock Canyon about ten. Cresta Vista buyers typically value that inversion — world-class trails at the doorstep, the Strip within easy reach for work or entertainment.

What are property taxes like in Cresta Vista?

Nevada property taxes are among the lowest in the nation. The Clark County Assessor applies an effective rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $915,000 Cresta Vista home, that means approximately $4,580–$6,860 per year — far below what a comparable California home would carry at the same price point.

What is it like living in Cresta Vista?

Cresta Vista combines 2017-vintage construction with immediate access to the Summerlin trail network, five-minute drives to Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants, and Red Rock Canyon views from select premium lots. The 55-acre plan has 230+ homes, keeping it intimate. Residents trade the staffed-gate model for open trails, top-rated schools, and Summerlin's full amenity network — parks, sports courts, and the Las Vegas Ballpark minutes away.

Is Cresta Vista a good investment in 2026?

The fundamentals are solid: 2017 vintage on a 55-acre plan with only 230+ homes, view lots facing Red Rock Canyon, and ZIP 89135's strong resale demand. Nevada adds zero state income tax, a 3% primary-residence tax cap, and no personal property tax on vehicles. Across the 9,600+ closings NREG has represented valley-wide, western Summerlin communities like Cresta Vista show consistent demand — call (702) 637-1759 for a current appreciation breakdown.

How does Cresta Vista compare to other Summerlin villages?

Cresta Vista is a move-up choice within the $750K–$1.2M Summerlin South / Cliffs-area cluster. The Paseos and Summerlin West villages offer broader inventory from $500K; The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club serve the $1.5M–$5M+ guard-gated buyer. Cresta Vista's appeal is 2017-vintage construction and mountain-view lots at a price point well below the guard-gated premium — the sweet spot for families who want quality without the gate cost.

What outdoor recreation is accessible from Cresta Vista?

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area — managed by the Bureau of Land Management — is about ten minutes west: 195,000 acres of hiking, climbing, and the 13-mile scenic loop. The Summerlin trail system connects directly from the community for daily walks and bike rides. Fox Hill Park (20 acres, adventure playground, disc golf) and The Paseos Linear Park are nearby. Downtown Summerlin's Las Vegas Ballpark and seasonal events are five minutes east.

Can I find new construction in Cresta Vista?

Cresta Vista's 230+ home plan is largely built out, so today's market is resale. Buyers who want new construction in the same ZIP 89135 corridor can explore active Summerlin South villages where Taylor Morrison and Toll Brothers are selling. Our team tracks builder inventory across all western Summerlin villages and can place you in the right community once we understand your floor plan and timeline priorities.

What are Nevada's tax advantages for Cresta Vista buyers moving from California?

California's top marginal state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $40,000+ annually in state income taxes. Add Clark County's effective property-tax rate of ~0.5–0.75% versus California's ~1.1% baseline, the 3% annual cap under NRS 361.4723, and no personal property tax on vehicles — relocators routinely cover several years of HOA dues with the first year of Nevada tax savings.

What should I know before buying in Cresta Vista?

Four things move real money here. First, lot premium: Red Rock Canyon-view lots command $50K–$150K over interior positions — verify what you're paying for. Second, HOA stack: $100–$280/mo combines master + sub-association, so pull the full resale package. Third, the 89135 comparables: this is a 230-home plan, so tight comp judgment matters. Fourth, financing: most buyers use conventional loans, but jumbo thresholds apply above $832,750. Call (702) 637-1759 before you write.

What down payment do you need to buy in Cresta Vista?

Most Cresta Vista buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional financing works throughout the community — on a $750,000 home, plan roughly $37,500 (5%) to $150,000 (20%). Loans above $832,750 are jumbo and typically require 10–20% down plus reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Nevada's zero state income tax means some California relocators redirect their first-year tax savings directly into a larger down payment — our agents model this scenario regularly.

How long does it take to close on a home in Cresta Vista?

Most Cresta Vista purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should order the HOA resale package early — Summerlin's two-tier structure (master + sub-association) adds a few days for document review. Jumbo files occasionally need extra appraisal time given the limited comparable pool inside a 230-home plan. Our team tracks every step and keeps timelines on schedule.

Where Does This Cresta Vista Data Come From?

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. Because Cresta Vista has 230+ homes, we present ZIP 89135 area statistics as benchmarks — never plan-only claims — and omit plan-level medians that small samples can't support. Follow any link below to verify a figure.

Census and BLS figures are the published vintage named beside them and change only when the agency releases new estimates.
