What Should You Know About Kestrel at a Glance?
Kestrel pairs 1,200+ new-construction homes priced $500K–$800K in Summerlin West with a ZIP-area median near $835,000 and 38 median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS, four active national builders, and Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census. The takeaways below unpack what makes this village the most Red Rock-adjacent new-construction option in Summerlin West.
- The new-construction village: 1,200+ homes from Toll Brothers, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, and Woodside Homes — launched 2020 by Howard Hughes Corporation, still actively building.
- The location: 8 minutes to Red Rock Canyon, 15 to Downtown Summerlin, 25 to the Strip — the closest Summerlin West village to Red Rock Canyon NCA.
- Best for: young families, California relocators, and buyers who want brand-new desert-contemporary architecture with Spring Mountains views from $500,000.
- Not guard-gated: Kestrel is an open village — HOA fees run $150–$300/mo without guard-staffing costs; nearby Grand Park offers gated options for comparison.
- Do your homework: builder contracts lock price but run 6–10 months to close; confirm HOA dues, lot premiums, and design-center costs before signing.

School planning
Check schools for your address
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.
Check CCSD school zoning · View Nevada Report Card
Compare each school’s programs and published results for the same reporting year. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; contact charter, magnet and private schools about their application and enrollment requirements.
CRIME DATA
Review reported crime for the area
Where to start
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.
Understand what the reports cover
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
What's It Like Living in Kestrel, Summerlin West?
The Answer
Living in Kestrel means brand-new desert-contemporary homes, trail access toward Red Rock Canyon, and an elevated Summerlin West position that delivers mountain and valley views. The village sits within Las Vegas city limits — services per the City of Las Vegas — with Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) in the attendance zone and Downtown Summerlin fifteen minutes east.
What is Kestrel known for?
Kestrel is known for being one of the newest and most Red Rock-adjacent villages in Summerlin West — brand-new construction from four national builders, desert-contemporary architecture with clean lines and large windows, an elevated position with Spring Mountains views, and trail access that connects toward Red Rock Canyon eight minutes west.
Who should live in Kestrel?
Young families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Arbor View High zoning, dual-income professionals who want new construction below $800,000 in a master-planned community, and California relocators trading state income tax for a Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin address.
What is daily life like?
Morning runs on Kestrel trail connectors, weekend hiking at Red Rock Canyon eight minutes away, errands at Downtown Summerlin fifteen minutes east, and an active new-construction community where neighbors are discovering the village together.

Quick Answer
Is Kestrel a good place to live?
Yes — if new construction, Red Rock Canyon access, and top-tier schools top your list. Kestrel pairs brand-new desert-contemporary homes from $500,000 with the closest Summerlin West position to Red Rock Canyon (8 minutes), a Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) attendance zone, and the Howard Hughes Corporation master-plan infrastructure that has made Summerlin the most consistently in-demand master plan in Nevada. The trade-offs are real — 25-minute Strip commute, no guard gate, and build timelines up to 10 months for to-be-built homes — but for families and California relocators, few new-construction addresses in Las Vegas compete.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Who Lives in Kestrel?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city that contains Kestrel — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside Kestrel, the profile skews younger and more affluent: community records show roughly 3,500+ residents, a median age of 35, and average household income above $145,000.
The Census does not tabulate Kestrel separately, so citywide figures are the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the village, our sales data shows young families drawn by Sig Rogich's 10/10 rating, dual-income professionals who want brand-new construction under $800,000 in a master plan, and a growing cohort of California relocators trading state income tax for a Summerlin West address and Red Rock views.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Kestrel Area Growing?
Kestrel is actively expanding — 1,200+ homes in a 2020-launched village that is still building, within a parent city that has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts. The Summerlin West corridor is among the most in-demand new-construction areas in the Las Vegas Valley, and Howard Hughes Corporation controls the remaining land pipeline.

1,200+Kestrel homes (active buildout)
~700,000Las Vegas projected, 2030
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside Kestrel, growth is structural: Howard Hughes Corporation controls the western expansion land and has been releasing new phases since 2020. The village is still adding homes, which means buyers have a genuine choice between new-construction customization and near-new resale. The broader ZIP 89138 corridor is one of the most active new-construction markets in Southern Nevada — Summerlin West is where Las Vegas's next decade of family-oriented growth is being built.

Start Your Home SearchPros
- Closest active Summerlin new-construction village to Red Rock Canyon — about 8 minutes by car
- Sig Rogich Middle School: rare 10/10 GreatSchools rating, one of the highest in Clark County
- Four active builders with design-center customization from $500K — genuine choice unavailable in resale
- Zero Nevada state income tax and a 3% annual property-tax cap under NRS 361.471
- Howard Hughes Corporation master-plan infrastructure — planned roads, school sites, parks, and commercial
- Elevated Summerlin West position with Spring Mountains and valley views on premium lots
- Energy-efficient new construction: solar-ready, high-performance insulation, smart-home tech standard
Honest Considerations
- No staffed gate — Kestrel is an open village; buyers who need guard-gated living should consider nearby Reverence or Grand Park
- Strip and airport commutes run 25–35 min — longer than inner Summerlin or Henderson addresses
- To-be-built homes take 6–10 months — not a fit for buyers with near-term move-in deadlines
- Summer heat is intense — 105°F+ stretches in July–September; plan for high cooling costs in any new build
- Newer neighborhood means fewer mature trees and established landscaping vs. older Summerlin villages
- Builder contract fine print matters — on-site agents represent the builder, not you; NREG levels the field

A like-for-like comparison of Kestrel's four sections — entry pricing, lifestyle fit, and who each suits — drawn from the community plan record and active-listing data via Las Vegas REALTORS.

Planning a move
What Should I Verify Before Moving to Kestrel?
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.
Review taxes for your circumstances
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.
Compare written costs and property requirements
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.
Explore relocation planningRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to Kestrel in 8 Steps
Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Define your property and location needs
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.
Confirm financing and the full ownership budget
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.
Agree on representation and the search process
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.
Investigate the exact address
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.
Review the offer and its deadlines
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.
Review inspections and property documents
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.
Coordinate services and moving arrangements
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.
Confirm possession and new-resident requirements
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.

Kestrel runs on a dual-income professional and family economy: software, healthcare, construction, and finance rather than a 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 here above $145,000 — nearly double the Clark County median.

Cost of Ownership
What Will Kestrel 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 Kestrel Payment
$4,468
Illustrative Monthly Payment
- Principal & Interest$3,593
- Property Tax$300
- Insurance$150
- HOA$200
- PMI$225
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 Kestrel?
Kestrel's position in Summerlin West gives fast Red Rock Canyon access but slightly longer Strip and airport commutes than inner Summerlin addresses. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — Kestrel beats that to Red Rock and Downtown Summerlin but runs longer to the Strip.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Kestrel?
Near-new resale homes in Kestrel close in the standard 30–45 days through Nevada escrow. New-construction timelines vary: quick-move-in homes close in 30–60 days; to-be-built homes from Toll Brothers, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, or Woodside typically run 6–10 months from contract to keys. Builder contracts lock the purchase price for the full build duration.
Quick Answer
What down payment do I need for a new-construction home in Kestrel?
Most Kestrel buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional loans cover the full $500K–$800K range — on a $600,000 home, plan roughly $30,000 (5%) to $120,000 (20%). VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and builder-affiliated lenders sometimes offer down-payment assistance tied to incentive packages. Get pre-approved before your first model visit so you negotiate from strength; call us at (702) 637-1759 and we'll connect you with lenders who know the Summerlin West builder landscape.
Kestrel FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Kestrel Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the price range in Kestrel, Summerlin?
Production homes in Kestrel open around $500,000 and top out near $800,000 on premium view lots, per $835,000 area median data from Las Vegas REALTORS. Plans run roughly 1,800 to 3,600 square feet in desert-contemporary style. Elevated lots with Spring Mountains or valley sightlines carry the steepest premiums — tell us early if views matter and we'll flag them before they're released.
Is Kestrel new construction or resale?
Both — Kestrel launched in 2020 and is still actively building. Buyers can purchase from Toll Brothers, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, or Woodside Homes with design-center customization, or choose from a growing near-new resale market of early-phase homes. New build gives you finish control and potential builder incentives; resale is ready to close in 30–45 days. We run the math on both before you decide.
Which builders are active in Kestrel?
Four national builders operate in Kestrel: Toll Brothers for move-up and luxury floor plans, Lennar for family-focused production homes, Taylor Morrison for design-forward mid-range plans, and Woodside Homes for value-oriented entry options. Releases, incentives, and lot premiums shift monthly. Register with Nevada Real Estate Group before your first model visit — builder representation costs you nothing and keeps every builder competing for your business.
Is Kestrel guard-gated?
No — Kestrel is an open village within the Summerlin West Association. There are no staffed gates or entry controls. Buyers who want guard-gated living in Summerlin West can consider adjacent Grand Park. Kestrel's trade is the open-village pricing advantage: new construction from $500,000, an elevated Red Rock-adjacent position, and HOA dues of $150–$300 per month without guard-staffing costs built in.
What ZIP code is Kestrel in?
Kestrel is entirely within ZIP code 89138 in Summerlin West, Las Vegas. The single ZIP keeps saved-search filters simple as this portion of Summerlin continues to expand. Clark County School District serves the area, and Nevada ownership math applies: no state income tax, and roughly 0.5–0.75% effective property tax with the 3% primary-residence cap under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471.
How close is Kestrel to Red Rock Canyon?
About 8 minutes by car — Kestrel is one of the closest Summerlin villages to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The Summerlin trail system also links toward Red Rock-area hiking and cycling without getting in a car. That proximity, combined with the village's elevated Summerlin West position, is what produces the Spring Mountains and valley views many Kestrel lots command.
What are HOA fees in Kestrel?
Budget $150–$300 per month, combining the Summerlin master-association fee with the Kestrel village sub-association fee. Newer Summerlin West villages carry these dues as parks, trails, and amenities continue building out alongside the homes. Exact figures vary by neighborhood section and builder phase — confirm them in the builder's HOA disclosures or the resale package during a standard Nevada escrow.
How does Kestrel compare to Kestrel Commons?
Kestrel focuses on detached single-family new construction from $500,000 across roughly 320 acres. Adjacent Kestrel Commons, launched in 2021, adds a broader product mix including townhomes and attached options spanning $450,000–$900,000 across 350 acres. Same Summerlin West location and lifestyle either way. Start in Kestrel for a detached home; tour both if you are flexible on product type or entry price — they sit side by side.
What are property taxes like in Kestrel?
Effective property-tax rates in Nevada run 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 $600,000 Kestrel home that means roughly $3,000–$4,500 per year — a fraction of what comparable new construction carries in California, and the figure that most often tips California relocators toward the purchase.
What schools serve Kestrel?
Kestrel is zoned to Clark County School District campuses that rank among Summerlin's best: Lorna J. Kesterson Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), and Arbor View High School (7/10) per GreatSchools. Private options within reach include The Meadows School (PreK–12, A+), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), and Doral Academy Red Rock (K–12, 9/10). Verify zoning for any specific address before writing an offer.
Is Kestrel a good fit for families?
Yes — Kestrel skews young-family: median resident age is 35, 84% of households own, and the village was designed around parks, trails, and school access. Sig Rogich Middle School earns a rare 10/10 on GreatSchools. The community park, Kestrel trail connections toward Red Rock, and walkable village feel make it one of the most family-forward new-construction options in Summerlin West today.
How does Nevada income tax compare to California for Kestrel buyers?
Nevada levies zero state income tax. California's top marginal rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $44,000 per year in state taxes alone by relocating to Kestrel. Add the 3% property-tax cap, no vehicle property tax, and new construction priced $200,000–$400,000 below comparable Bay Area or Southern California homes, and the financial case tends to close itself.
What is the availability of new construction in Kestrel right now?
Active — Kestrel has been building since 2020 with new-home sales from Toll Brothers, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, and Woodside Homes running alongside early resales. Quick-move-in homes, lot releases, and builder incentives shift monthly as Summerlin West expands. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for the current release sheet; we track all four builders weekly and flag view lots before they sell.
What is the Summerlin West Association?
The Summerlin West Association is the master HOA governing the newest generation of Summerlin villages — including Kestrel, Kestrel Commons, Grand Park, Redpoint, Reverence, and La Madre Peaks — developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation. The association manages shared trails, parks, and community standards across the western expansion. Kestrel's $150–$300 monthly dues include both the master and village sub-association fees.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy a new construction home in Kestrel?
Yes — and builder representation costs you nothing because the builder pays our commission. NREG agents who specialize in Kestrel track all four builders weekly, know which lots and phases are releasing, and can negotiate upgrades, lot premiums, and closing-cost credits that on-site sales agents are not motivated to volunteer. Register before your first model visit and call us at (702) 637-1759.
What down payment do I need to buy a new-construction home in Kestrel?
Most Kestrel buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional loans work for the full $500K–$800K range — on a $600,000 home, plan roughly $30,000 (5%) to $120,000 (20%). VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and builder-affiliated lenders sometimes offer down-payment assistance tied to their incentive programs. FHA works too, though builder contracts occasionally restrict it on quick-move-in homes. Get pre-approved before your first model visit so you negotiate from strength, not curiosity.
How long does it take to close on a home in Kestrel?
Near-new resale homes in Kestrel close in the standard 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. New-construction timelines vary: quick-move-in homes (already framed or complete) can close in 30–60 days; to-be-built homes from Toll Brothers, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, or Woodside typically run 6–10 months from contract to keys. Builder contracts lock the price for the build duration, which is an inflation hedge buyers value in an active-cost-growth market.
Is Kestrel in Las Vegas or Summerlin?
Kestrel is within Las Vegas city limits in the Summerlin West portion of the city — the municipal address is Las Vegas, NV 89138, but the community is fully within the Summerlin master plan developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation. Think of it like a borough within a city: you have a Las Vegas mailing address and pay Las Vegas city property taxes, but you live in Summerlin's newest, most Red Rock-adjacent village.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Kestrel?
These are the questions Kestrel buyers search most on Google and AI assistants — each answered in plain language with figures you can verify: pricing and DOM data from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS, school ratings from GreatSchools.org, and community details from the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin West plan record.
Is Kestrel part of Summerlin?
Yes — Kestrel is an active village within the Summerlin master plan developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation, launched in 2020 as one of the newest villages in the Summerlin West Association. The mailing address is Las Vegas, NV 89138, but the community is fully within Summerlin's master-planned boundaries.
What is the Kestrel rec center?
Howard Hughes Corporation designated a central recreation hub for Kestrel as part of the Summerlin West buildout — amenities are being developed alongside the residential phases. Today, Kestrel Community Park (~8 acres) serves as the village's central green with playgrounds, open fields, picnic areas, and trail connectors.
How many homes are in Kestrel?
1,200+ homes across 320 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation community plan record. Kestrel is still in active buildout, with new phases releasing across all four builders through 2026 and beyond.
Is Kestrel a good school district?
Yes — Kestrel is zoned to Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 on GreatSchools), one of the highest-rated public middle schools in Clark County, and Lorna J. Kesterson Elementary (8/10). Doral Academy Red Rock (charter, 9/10) is also within the Summerlin West corridor and is an alternative for K-12.
What makes Kestrel different from other Summerlin villages?
Two things: Red Rock proximity (closest active Summerlin new-construction village at ~8 minutes) and the Sig Rogich Middle School 10/10 attendance zone. Most Summerlin West villages have similar builder access and price ranges — Kestrel's outdoor access and school profile set it apart.
Are there resale homes available in Kestrel?
Yes — early-phase Kestrel homes from 2020–2022 have begun entering the resale market. Near-new resale offers immediate move-in (vs. 6–10 month builder timelines) and may include builder upgrades already completed, sometimes at a slight discount to comparable new-build pricing. We track both new and resale inventory in Kestrel weekly.
How is Kestrel connected to the Summerlin trail network?
Kestrel's internal walking paths connect directly to the broader Summerlin trail system, a paved multi-use network spanning much of the master plan and linking toward Red Rock Canyon trail access points. The Summerlin trail system is dog-friendly, lit on main segments, and maintained by the Summerlin West Association as part of your HOA dues.
Why are California buyers choosing Kestrel?
Two reasons drive most relocations: price and taxes. Brand-new 2,800–3,200 sq ft homes in Kestrel cost $500K–$800K — comparable Southern California new builds run $900K–$1.5M+. Nevada's zero state income tax versus California's 13.3% top rate saves most relocating households $30,000–$80,000 per year. The Red Rock Canyon lifestyle is what they couldn't have expected and can't stop mentioning after moving.
