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.

Living In

What's It Like Living in Discovery, Summerlin?


The Answer

Living in Discovery means modern floor plans, two village parks, and direct connection to Summerlin's 200-plus mile paseo trail network — all inside the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan with 30-plus years of value protection. Downtown Summerlin is 10 minutes south per Howard Hughes Corporation and Red Rock Canyon 15 minutes west.

What is Discovery known for?

Discovery is known for being Summerlin North's newest major village — 2016-and-newer homes from national builders like Toll Brothers, Lennar, Pulte, and KB Home, priced at the sweet spot between affordable Summerlin entry and the luxury villages. It is the go-to address for families and professionals who want new construction inside a proven master plan without paying Summerlin West premiums.

Who should live in Discovery?

Young families who want top-rated schools (Rogich Middle School is 10/10 per GreatSchools), dual-income households who value new-construction energy efficiency, and professionals relocating from California who want new-build quality at a fraction of comparable Southern California pricing. Discovery is also popular with move-up buyers stepping out of older Las Vegas stock into a modern floor plan within a structured master plan.

What is daily life like?

Mornings on the Summerlin paseo trail that threads through Discovery's parks, school drop-offs within the village, and evenings at Downtown Summerlin's 125-plus shops and restaurants 10 minutes south. Red Rock Canyon's hiking and scenic loop sit 15 minutes west for weekends, and the Strip's dining and entertainment corridor is 25 minutes southeast — far enough to feel suburban, close enough to use regularly.

Location

Where Is Discovery

Discovery occupies the northwest quadrant of Summerlin North in Las Vegas, bounded by the 215 Beltway to the north, Summerlin Parkway to the south, and Desert Foothills Drive to the west. Approximately 350 acres. About 18 miles from the Strip.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Discovery Area Growing?

Discovery launched in 2016 and is still adding homes — active builders continue releasing new phases while early sections are now resale. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 96,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the northwest Summerlin corridor remains among the most in-demand for family buyers in the valley.

Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2025 (Census)

Inside Discovery, growth continues with new builder phases while the surrounding 89134/89138 corridors carry active resale inventory that benchmarks the village's pricing. Unlike built-out Summerlin North villages, Discovery still offers buyers the choice between new construction and established resales — a dual-market dynamic that rewards buyers who know which option fits their situation.

Market Competitiveness

How competitive is the Discovery market right now?

Discovery is a moderately competitive market — 35 median days on market across the area, with the dual dynamic of new-builder releases and resale inventory. New-construction buyers compete with other buyers for limited quick-move-in homes and popular floor plans; resale buyers compete against new builds as an alternative. Knowing the builder release calendar is as important as knowing the MLS.

Start Your Home Search

Pros

  • New-construction quality from four national builders starting in the $450Ks — the best value for modern homes inside Summerlin's master plan
  • Direct access to the 200-plus mile Summerlin paseo trail network linking parks, Red Rock Canyon, and Downtown Summerlin
  • Builder warranty protection up to 10 years — a risk hedge against deferred maintenance at this price point
  • Energy-efficient construction with high-performance insulation, dual-pane windows, and efficient HVAC as standard
  • 10-foot ceilings, smart-home wiring, and covered patios included across most Discovery floor plans
  • Zero state income tax and a 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.4723

Honest Considerations

  • No staffed guard gate — neighborhood code access only; buyers prioritizing 24/7 staffed security should look at The Trails (Country Rose Estates) or Summerlin West enclaves
  • 25-minute Strip commute and 35-minute airport run — Discovery is suburban, and that distance is real
  • Builder-contract complexity: preferred-lender incentives, lot premiums ($20K–$60K), and upgrade pricing require experienced agent guidance — never enter a model home unrepresented
  • Resale competition from new builds: a 2019 resale competes against 2026 new construction in the same price band — condition and price positioning matter
  • Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ stretches July through September, like the rest of the Las Vegas Valley
  • No on-site golf or guard-gated enclave — buyers wanting those amenities pay more in adjacent Summerlin North villages or Summerlin West

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to Discovery?

Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to Discovery, 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.

The full step-by-step relocation checklist, from timeline to first-week setup, is in one place.

COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION

How Easy Is Getting Around From Discovery, Summerlin?

Discovery's 215 Beltway access is its commute superpower: the freeway cuts east-west across the north valley, connecting Downtown Summerlin, the Strip corridor, and the Airport without surface-street crawls. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Discovery destinations beat that, except the Strip and Airport.

Transportation Options

  • Driving

    The default and remarkably efficient: Discovery's 215 Beltway frontage puts major valley destinations within 10-35 minutes without major surface-street congestion. Summerlin Parkway adds a parallel westbound option for Downtown Summerlin.

  • RTC Transit

    Routes run the Summerlin Parkway and Town Center Drive corridors near Discovery, but residents should not plan a car-free life — this is a suburban master-planned community built around driving.

  • Cycling & Trails

    Discovery connects directly to Summerlin's 200-plus mile paseo trail system for car-free access to Downtown Summerlin, neighboring villages, and Red Rock Canyon trailheads — one of the best car-optional commute systems in Las Vegas.

  • Rideshare

    Fast and reliable this close to the Beltway; Strip runs cost roughly $35-$50, and the 215 keeps pickup times low compared to denser central neighborhoods.

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 Discovery?

Resale purchases in Discovery close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. New-construction timelines differ by phase: quick-move-in homes close in 30 to 60 days, while build-to-order contracts take 6 to 12 months. Get the builder's estimated delivery date in writing — construction delays are common in active Las Vegas building cycles.

Quick Answer

What down payment do you need to buy in Discovery?

Most Discovery buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. On a $659,950 home, that's roughly $33,000 (5 percent FHA) to $132,000 (20 percent conventional). VA loans allow 0 percent for eligible veterans, and most Discovery builders accept VA financing on new construction. New-build buyers: compare your builder's preferred-lender incentive package against outside financing before committing — the rate buy-down is real savings if you hold the loan, but refinancing when rates drop can cost you the incentive. Have your lender verify the trade-off math before you sign the builder contract.

Discovery FAQ — 17 Answers

What Do Discovery Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in Summerlin Discovery?

Across ZIP codes 89134 and 89138 — the two ZIPs covering Discovery — the area median runs around $659,950 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data in mid-2026, with homes taking a median of about 40 days from list to accepted offer. Inside the village, Discovery's 1,800-plus new-construction homes span $450,000 for townhomes and smaller production plans to roughly $750,000 for larger floor plans on premium lots with extended outdoor living spaces.

Is Discovery guard-gated?

No — Discovery has no staffed guard gate. Several neighborhoods within the village use gated entry with key-fob or code access, which adds privacy without guard-gate HOA costs. Village association fees run $100 to $225 per month. If 24-hour staffed security is a priority, neighboring The Trails village includes Country Rose Estates guard-gated enclave about ten minutes away. Tell us where security ranks on your list and we'll match the right village.

Is Discovery new construction?

Yes — Discovery launched in 2016 and is one of Summerlin North's newest villages, with Toll Brothers, Lennar, Pulte, and KB Home still building alongside recent resales. New homes carry current building codes: 10-foot ceilings, smart-home wiring, covered patios, and energy-efficient HVAC that meaningfully cuts utility costs versus Las Vegas's older housing stock. Choose a new build with a full builder warranty or a lightly lived-in resale — our team tracks both weekly.

What builders are active in Discovery?

Toll Brothers, Lennar, Pulte, and KB Home are the active builders in Discovery, each offering multiple floor plans from modern farmhouse to desert contemporary with design centers for personalizing finishes. Builder incentives, lot premiums, and release schedules shift constantly, and the on-site agent represents the builder — not you. Bring Nevada Real Estate Group as your representation from the first model visit; it protects your interests at every milestone, and we confirm in writing beforehand whether the builder pays our compensation.

What ZIP codes cover Discovery?

Discovery sits across ZIP codes 89134 and 89138 in Summerlin North, Las Vegas. Both ZIPs are served by Clark County School District, and Nevada's ownership advantages apply: no state income tax and an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5 to 0.75 percent, with the 3 percent annual cap on primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723. Search both ZIP codes so your alerts capture every Discovery listing the day it appears.

What schools serve Discovery?

Discovery is zoned to Lorna J. Kesterson Elementary (8/10 GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) — one of the strongest public progressions in Summerlin North. Private options within reach include The Meadows School (A+), Faith Lutheran Middle and High (A), Bishop Gorman High (A+), and Doral Academy Red Rock charter (9/10). Verify exact zoning for any specific address before writing an offer, since boundaries can shift between phases.

What are HOA fees in Discovery?

Plan on $100 to $225 per month, combining the Summerlin master association fee with Discovery's village sub-association fee. Fees fund the trail network, community parks, and common-area maintenance that protect Summerlin values long-term. The exact figure varies by neighborhood and product type. Request the full resale package during your standard 30-to-45-day Nevada escrow so dues, reserves, and transfer fees are confirmed before contingencies expire.

What are property taxes like in Discovery?

Property taxes are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.75 percent of a home's 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 $659,950 Discovery home that means roughly $3,300 to $4,950 per year — a fraction of what a comparable new-construction home carries in coastal California, where effective rates run 1 percent or more.

How does Nevada's no-income-tax benefit affect Discovery buyers?

Nevada levies zero state income tax — California's top marginal rate is 13.3 percent per the California Franchise Tax Board. A household earning $300,000 relocating from Southern California saves roughly $28,000 to $40,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Paired with Discovery's 3 percent property-tax cap and sub-1 percent effective rate, those savings represent meaningful purchasing power that new-construction markets in Orange County or the Bay Area simply cannot match.

What parks and trails are in Discovery?

Discovery Park anchors the village with a modern playground, open fields, walking paths, shade structures, and picnic areas. Gardens Park at 10401 Garden Park Drive adds 15 acres with basketball courts, a dog park, and walking trails. Both connect to Summerlin's 200-plus mile paseo trail network, which links to Red Rock Canyon trailheads about 15 minutes west per the Bureau of Land Management. The trail access distinguishes Discovery from most Las Vegas new-construction alternatives.

How does Discovery compare to other Summerlin villages?

Discovery wins on new-construction freshness: 2016-and-newer homes with current floor plans, energy efficiency, and active builder presence, priced $450,000 to $750,000 — the sweet spot between established Summerlin North villages like The Trails and the premium luxury of Summerlin West. The Crossing and The Arbors offer more mature landscaping at slightly lower entry points; Summerlin West villages like Kestrel or Redpoint counter with ultra-modern architecture at higher prices.

Does buying new construction in Discovery mean I don't need an agent?

The opposite — you need one more than ever. The on-site sales agent at each builder's model represents the builder's interests, not yours. An experienced Nevada Real Estate Group agent negotiates lot premiums, upgrade credits, and closing cost concessions, reviews the builder contract line-by-line, and tracks your construction milestones so nothing slips. Many builders offer to pay the buyer's agent, but that's set by each builder's policy and your written buyer agreement — confirm it before your first visit.

What should I know before buying in Discovery?

Four things move real money here. First, builder contract terms: incentives tied to the builder's preferred lender often come with rate trade-offs — compare outside financing independently. Second, lot premiums: corner, cul-de-sac, and trail-adjacent lots add $20,000 to $60,000 to base price. Third, phase timing: early phases offer more choice; later phases offer more established neighbors. Fourth, resale competition: a 2018 build sells beside brand-new homes — call (702) 637-1759 for current pricing before you write.

What is new-construction availability like in Discovery right now?

Availability shifts monthly by builder phase and season. Discovery has been building since 2016, so some sections still have active new-home sales while others are resale-only. Quick-move-in homes, lot releases, and incentive windows change fast — and the best deals often aren't advertised online. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for the current builder release list and any off-market opportunities our agents hear about before they're publicly listed.

What down payment do you need to buy in Discovery?

Most Discovery buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. Conventional financing works across the village — on a $659,950 home, plan roughly $33,000 (5 percent) to $132,000 (20 percent) down. FHA loans accept as little as 3.5 percent for eligible buyers on new construction. VA loans allow 0 percent for eligible veterans. New-build buyers: compare your builder's preferred-lender incentive package against a competing mortgage before committing — rate buy-downs can be real savings or a trade-off worth scrutinizing.

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

Resale closings in Discovery typically take 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. New-construction timelines vary by builder and phase: quick-move-in homes can close in 30 to 60 days, while build-to-order homes take 6 to 12 months depending on permitting and construction schedule. Get your builder's current estimated delivery date in writing, and have a backup housing plan in case of construction delays — they happen in active Las Vegas building cycles.

Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy in Discovery?

Yes. The builder's on-site agent represents the builder, so there's no reason to walk into a model home unrepresented, and we confirm in writing up front whether the builder pays our compensation. Our agents who specialize in Discovery know current lot premiums, incentive windows, and which floor plans hold value best at resale. Call (702) 637-1759 to connect with a Discovery specialist before your first model-home visit.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK

What Else Do People Ask About Discovery, Summerlin?

These are the eight questions Discovery buyers most frequently type into Google and AI assistants — each answered with verifiable specifics drawn from NREG’s MLS analysis market data, GreatSchools school ratings, Howard Hughes Corporation master-plan records, and Nevada Revised Statutes. The answers follow in the order buyers ask them.

Is Discovery a new community in Summerlin?

Yes — Discovery launched in 2016, making it one of Summerlin North's newest villages. Active builders including Toll Brothers, Lennar, Pulte, and KB Home are still releasing new phases alongside resale inventory from earlier buyers, giving the market a dual dynamic uncommon in older Summerlin villages.

What is the Howard Hughes Corporation connection to Discovery?

Howard Hughes Corporation is Summerlin's master developer, and Discovery is one of the villages it launched under its long-running master plan that began in 1990. HHC maintains the trail network, parks, design standards, and master association that protect Discovery values — the same developer framework that has sustained Summerlin appreciation across 30-plus years.

Does Discovery have a guard gate?

No — Discovery does not have a staffed guard gate. Several sub-neighborhoods use key-fob or code-access gated entries that provide neighborhood-level privacy without staffed security costs. HOA fees run $100–$225 monthly. If a 24/7 staffed gate is your priority, we'd point you toward Country Rose Estates in the neighboring Trails village.

Is Rogich Middle School really rated 10/10?

Yes — Sig Rogich Middle School holds a 10/10 GreatSchools rating, one of the highest public middle school scores in Nevada. It serves Discovery and several neighboring Summerlin North villages. Verify the specific address zoning before writing an offer, since school boundaries can shift between village phases.

What is the difference between Discovery and The Crossing in Summerlin?

Discovery is newer (2016-present) with active builders and modern floor plans starting in the $450Ks; The Crossing is an established Summerlin North village with mature landscaping and similar pricing. Discovery wins on construction vintage and builder warranty protection; The Crossing wins on established neighborhood character and street-level greenery. Call (702) 637-1759 and we'll tour both back-to-back.

Can I get FHA financing on a new build in Discovery?

Yes — most Discovery builders accept FHA financing, which allows as little as 3.5% down for eligible buyers. Confirm FHA approval with the specific builder and project before relying on the program, as unit counts, condo conversion rules, and lender requirements can vary by phase. Our agents help you verify financing eligibility before you visit a model center.

Are lot premiums negotiable with Discovery builders?

Sometimes — it depends on the builder, the phase, and market conditions. In slower inventory periods, lot premiums can be reduced or offset by closing cost credits or design allowances. In active phases with multiple buyers on the same lot, premiums are often firm. Our agents track which builders are under pressure in which sections right now — that knowledge is the leverage.

How far is Discovery from Red Rock Canyon?

About 15 minutes via West Charleston Boulevard — one of Discovery's most practical lifestyle advantages. The 13-mile Red Rock Canyon scenic loop and trailheads are managed by the Bureau of Land Management and open most of the year for hiking, climbing, and cycling. Summerlin's trail network also connects Discovery to Red Rock Canyon trailheads without driving.

Where Does This Discovery, Summerlin Data Come From?

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. Because Discovery is an active-builder village with new releases and resales mixed in the same ZIP codes, we present area statistics (89134/89138) as area benchmarks — not village-only claims — and note where builder data differs from resale data.
