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 Cresta Vista means 2017-vintage move-up homes, trail-connected outdoor access, and top-rated CCSD schools five minutes from Downtown Summerlin's shops and restaurants. The community sits within the City of Las Vegas under the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan — with Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west and the Strip twenty minutes east.
Cresta Vista is known for its 2017-vintage William Lyon Homes construction, Red Rock Canyon-view lots on premium homesites, direct trail connectivity into the Summerlin trail system, and top-rated schools — Sig Rogich Middle School rates 10/10 per GreatSchools, and Bonner Elementary 9/10.
Families targeting Bonner/Rogich/Palo Verde school zoning, California relocators seeking move-up quality at a fraction of coastal pricing, and professional households who value trail access and Summerlin's full amenity network without the guard-gate premium.
Morning hikes or bike rides on the Summerlin trail system, school drop-off five minutes away, errands and lunch at Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops, and evenings with Red Rock Canyon sunsets framed from a view-lot back patio.
Cresta Vista sits within the Summerlin South / Cliffs area of western Las Vegas in ZIP 89135 — approximately 55 acres between W Charleston Blvd and the Red Rock Canyon corridor. About 15 miles west of the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — if top-rated schools, trail access, and 2017-vintage construction top your list. Cresta Vista pairs Red Rock Canyon-view lots with direct Summerlin trail connectivity, Bonner Elementary (9/10), Rogich Middle (10/10), and Palo Verde High (8/10) zoning, and five-minute access to Downtown Summerlin. The trade-offs are real — no staffed gate, premium ZIP 89135 pricing from $600K, and HOA stacking up to $280/month — but for move-up buyers who value schools and trails over gates, few Summerlin villages compete at this price point.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city containing Cresta Vista — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside Cresta Vista, community records show roughly 690+ residents across 230+ households, a median age of 42, and average household income above $120,000.
The Census does not break the community out as its own place, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop. Within the plan, NREG closing data shows a mix of growing families targeting the Bonner/Rogich/Palo Verde school pipeline, professional couples relocating from California, and move-up buyers stepping up from smaller Summerlin villages or Las Vegas city homes.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Cresta Vista itself is largely built out at 230+ homes on 55 acres — growth happens through resale turnover, not rooftops. Its parent city and ZIP 89135 corridor keep drawing residents: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and western Summerlin remains one of the most in-demand corridors in the valley.
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.

The charts below show Las Vegas citywide sold medians, market time, and monthly closings from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — the liquid benchmark ZIP 89135 trades against. Cresta Vista's 230+ homes are too small a pool for a standalone monthly series, so the cards report ZIP 89135 area benchmarks: ~$900,000 area median, approximately 42 median days, and consistent monthly turnover.

Market Competitiveness
ZIP 89135 is a balanced-to-competitive market: area homes averaged 42 median days per Las Vegas REALTORS data, with Red Rock Canyon-view lots in Cresta Vista trading faster than the ZIP-wide average. At 230+ homes, the plan sees limited inventory — a single well-priced listing in the $700K–$950K band can attract multiple offers in the right season.
Cresta Vista is not one-size-fits-all — it is a 230-home move-up community that serves specific buyer profiles exceptionally well and others less so.

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
Cresta Vista runs on a professional household economy: executives, medical professionals, and technology workers rather than any single anchor employer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and community records put average household income above $120,000 — nearly double the Clark County median.

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
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.

Quick Answer
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 $806,500 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
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 $806,500, 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 — 18 Answers
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.
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.
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.
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).

Always confirm current attendance boundaries for your specific address before writing an offer.
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.
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.
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 361.471 caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3%. On a $898,550 Cresta Vista home, that means approximately $4,500–$6,750 per year — far below what a comparable California home would carry at the same price point.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 361.471, and no personal property tax on vehicles — relocators routinely cover several years of HOA dues with the first year of Nevada tax savings.
Yes — ZIP 89135 is one of Summerlin's most established and owner-heavy ZIP codes, with low crime rates consistent with master-planned western Las Vegas communities. The Summerlin master plan enforces architectural standards and maintains well-lit common areas; City of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department covers the area. Benchmark the surrounding corridors through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data — ask our agents for the comparison during your due-diligence period.
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 $806,500. Call (702) 637-1759 before you write.
Most Cresta Vista buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional financing works throughout the community — on a $898,550 home, plan roughly $45,000 (5%) to $180,000 (20%). Loans above $806,500 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.
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.

Yes — Cresta Vista is a village within the Howard Hughes Corporation's Summerlin master plan in western Las Vegas (ZIP 89135). It's subject to Summerlin HOA governance and architectural standards, though it has its own sub-association covering community-level maintenance.

Cresta Vista has community amenities through the Summerlin master plan parks and trail system, but individual homes vary — some have private pools, and buyers can add one subject to HOA architectural approval. Verify specific amenities for each home with our team before you write an offer.
Cresta Vista uses a two-tier structure: the Summerlin master association (Howard Hughes Corporation) plus a Cresta Vista sub-association. Combined dues run $100–$280 per month covering common-area maintenance, landscaping, and architectural standards. Request the full resale package in escrow.
Cresta Vista's 230+ home plan is largely built out, so today's market is resale of 2017-vintage William Lyon Homes production.
