Living in The Gardens means tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and a park minutes from your door — all inside the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan per Howard Hughes Corporation, with Rogich Middle School (10/10) in the zoning area and Red Rock Canyon 12 minutes west.
The Gardens is known for its park-centered design — 15-acre Gardens Park at the village heart — plus lush landscaping, tree-lined residential streets, and Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) zoning. The 420-acre village has 25+ years of mature character that newer Summerlin villages cannot replicate.
Families who prioritize excellent schools and everyday park access, California relocators trading state income tax savings for established Summerlin South living, and active adults who want community green space and trail connectivity without the premium of a guard-gated village.
Morning walks on the Summerlin trail system, kids biking to Gardens Park after school, Saturday errands at the commercial corridors on West Charleston, and Sunday afternoons at Downtown Summerlin — or a 12-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon for a proper hike.
The Gardens spans 420 acres in Summerlin South, Las Vegas — ZIP codes 89135 and 89134. Bounded roughly by West Charleston Boulevard to the north, the 215 Beltway to the south, and Summerlin Parkway to the west. About 16 miles from the Las Vegas Strip.

POPULATION & GROWTH
The Gardens itself is fully established — 2,600+ homes since the village built out in the mid-2000s, with growth happening through renovations and resale rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 96,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, with Summerlin South remaining one of the metro's most in-demand family corridors.
Inside The Gardens, growth is structurally capped at 2,600+ homes — the village is built out, and the 420-acre footprint is permanent. That scarcity at accessible Summerlin South pricing is the structural argument for ownership: new buyers cannot dilute the supply the way they can in actively-building Summerlin West villages, keeping well-bought Gardens positions supported over long hold periods.

Market Competitiveness
The Gardens is a moderately competitive market: 32 median days on market across the Summerlin South ZIP codes, driven by consistent family demand and the Rogich Middle School (10/10) zoning pull. Park-adjacent homes on Lowman ES streets move faster; larger-lot premium homes in the $650K–$750K band take slightly longer to find the right buyer.

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
The Gardens sits in central Summerlin South with quick access to West Charleston Boulevard, the 215 Beltway, and Summerlin Parkway. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Gardens destinations beat that comfortably, with the notable exception of Harry Reid Airport at 28 minutes south.
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.
Quick Answer
Most Gardens purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 10–14 days; financed offers with pre-approved buyers and clear-to-close lenders consistently hit the 30-day mark. FHA and VA loans can take 35–45 days depending on appraisal turnaround. Build your offer timeline around your financing type — our agents coordinate with your lender to keep the escrow on schedule.
Quick Answer
Most Gardens buyers put down 5% to 20%. On a $650,000 median home, conventional financing with 10% down means roughly $65,000 upfront plus closing costs — about $75,000 total to close. FHA loans allow 3.5% down for qualifying buyers (roughly $22,800 on a $650K home), and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. The Gardens' price range keeps it well under conventional loan limits in 2026, so low-down programs work across most of the village.
The Gardens FAQ — 17 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 — The Gardens has no staffed guard gate, which is a key reason HOA fees stay lean at $75–$200 per month. Some sub-neighborhoods use key-fob or code-entry gates for residents, but there is no 24-hour staffed perimeter. That trade-off keeps Summerlin South accessible: you get full Howard Hughes Corporation master-plan amenities, Summerlin's trail network, and Gardens Park — without the premium dues or entry-point that guard-gated Summerlin villages carry.
The Gardens spans ZIP codes 89135 and 89134 in Summerlin South, Las Vegas. Both fall under Clark County School District zoning, and both carry Nevada's ownership advantages: no state income tax, an effective property-tax rate around 0.5–0.75% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the 3% annual cap on primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723. Run both ZIPs in your saved search so no listing slips past you.
Development began in 1999 under the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, with most homes completed between 1999 and the mid-2000s during the Summerlin South expansion phase. The payoff today is more than 25 years of mature trees, lush landscaping, and established green spaces that newer Summerlin villages simply cannot replicate. Many homes have since been updated with modern kitchens, new pools, and contemporary finishes — we can sort renovated inventory from original-condition value plays on your first search.
The Gardens zones to three well-regarded Clark County School District campuses: Zel & Mary Lowman Elementary (8/10 per GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of the highest-rated middle schools in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10). Private options close by include The Meadows School (A+), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), Faith Lutheran (A), and charter Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10). Confirm zoning for any specific address before writing an offer — boundaries can shift within the village.
Plan on $75 to $200 per month — one of the most affordable fee structures in all of Summerlin South. That figure blends the Summerlin South master-association fee with the village sub-association assessment and funds the parks, landscaped trails, and common-area maintenance at the heart of the village's design. Exact dues vary by neighborhood within The Gardens, so request the resale package during escrow to confirm the precise figure for your specific street.
Gardens Park is the roughly 15-acre Summerlin community park at 10401 Garden Park Drive anchoring the village heart. It includes a playground, basketball courts, walking trails, picnic areas, open fields, and a dog park — the everyday gathering point for The Gardens neighborhood. Homes within easy walking distance of Gardens Park consistently attract the strongest buyer demand within the $450K–$750K range, and park-adjacent lots typically command a modest premium over comparable interiors in the village.
Property taxes are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs 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 361.4723 once the owner claims it (homes that are not owner-occupied get a cap of up to 8%). On a $650,000 Gardens home that means approximately $3,250–$4,880 per year — a fraction of what a comparable Summerlin-South-style neighborhood carries in California, where effective rates often run 1.0–1.25% on top of 13.3% state income tax.
Both are established, accessibly priced Summerlin South villages built in the same era. The Gardens ($450K–$750K) is built around parks and green space, anchored by 15-acre Gardens Park; The Pueblo starts slightly lower around $400K with a similar early-2000s Mediterranean character and more compact lot sizes. If daily park life, Rogich Middle School zoning, and a slightly higher build quality matter most, lean Gardens; if entry price is the deciding factor, lean Pueblo. They're adjacent enough to tour both in one outing.
The math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $250,000 saves roughly $25,000 per year in state income taxes alone by relocating to The Gardens. Add Nevada's 0.5–0.75% effective property-tax rate (vs. 1.0%+ in California) with the 3% annual cap, and a $650,000 Summerlin South home carries a meaningfully lower annual tax burden than a comparable Bay Area or Southern California property.
The Gardens has an 82% homeownership rate per community records, so long-term rentals surface regularly but never in high volume. Executive-family leases for 3–4 bedroom homes typically run $2,200–$3,200 per month, reflecting strong demand from relocating professionals and military families at nearby installations. Short-term vacation rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas — confirm current ordinance requirements before underwriting any STR income on a Gardens purchase, as rules and enforcement have tightened since 2023.
About 10 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — close enough to make Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops, 40+ restaurants, Las Vegas Ballpark, and seasonal farmers market part of your weekly routine, not a special-occasion drive. The 215 Beltway is also a quick 5-minute drive from most Gardens streets, giving you fast access to the entire valley. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 28 minutes south via I-215.
No — The Gardens built out its 2,600+ homes primarily between 1999 and the mid-2000s, and no active builder sales exist inside the village today. The market is resale only. The benefit is 25-plus years of mature landscaping and settled infrastructure at accessible Summerlin South pricing. If new construction is a priority, Summerlin's western villages — Summerlin West, The Cliffs — are actively building, and we can help you weigh new-build incentives against Gardens resale value at your budget.
Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1 team in Nevada with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total sales volume. Our agents who specialize in Summerlin South know The Gardens' micro-neighborhoods street by street — park-adjacent blocks, Rogich Middle zoning boundaries, and which homes have the renovated kitchens and pools that move quickly. Whether you're relocating from California, upgrading from a starter Summerlin home, or selling after years in the village, we'll run the numbers honestly and get you across the finish line.
Most Gardens buyers put down 5% to 20%. On a $650,000 median-priced home, conventional financing with 10% down means roughly $65,000 upfront plus closing costs. FHA loans allow 3.5% down for qualifying buyers — about $20,500 on that price. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans and active military, a significant advantage in a Summerlin market where all-cash competition is real. Confirm program eligibility with a lender early so your pre-approval reflects your strongest offer structure.
Most Gardens purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers, common at the $650K+ tier, can close in 10–14 days. Financed offers on well-priced Gardens homes move toward the 30-day end when buyers are fully pre-approved and lenders have clear-to-close capacity — a reason to have your pre-approval letter ready before the first showing, not after.
Four things matter most. First, request the HOA resale package in escrow — dues ($75–$200/mo), reserves, and any pending assessments. Second, verify school zoning for your specific address; Rogich Middle School boundaries are the most common surprise. Third, park-adjacent blocks command a premium — decide upfront whether that matters to your lifestyle. Fourth, renovated vs. original-condition homes vary widely inside the same price band; our agents can sort the inventory before you waste weekends on the wrong tours.

Both — The Gardens is a village within the Summerlin South Association, which is itself part of the broader Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan. For practical purposes, say "Summerlin South" for the sub-area and "Summerlin" for the full master plan umbrella.
The Gardens has community parks (Gardens Park is the anchor at 15 acres with sports courts, trails, and gathering areas), but a dedicated community pool is not part of the standard village amenity set.

More than 2,600 across 420 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan record. The village built out primarily between 1999 and the mid-2000s, so that number is effectively permanent — no new rooftops are coming.
The Gardens is car-dependent for most errands, but walkable within the village to Gardens Park and along the Summerlin trail network. West Charleston Boulevard's commercial corridor is a short drive (not a comfortable walk) for groceries and services. Buyers who need to walk to a coffee shop should preview the blocks they're considering before committing.
The Gardens is primarily detached single-family, with some attached products at the Gardens Entry price tier. No high-rise or resort-style condos exist inside the village. Buyers looking for lock-and-leave condo living closer to the Summerlin South amenity core should look at nearby Summerlin villages or ask us about alternatives.
The Summerlin South Association is the Howard Hughes Corporation sub-master association that governs The Gardens and neighboring Summerlin South villages. It collects a master-plan fee (part of your $75–$200 monthly HOA), enforces community standards, and manages common areas across the Summerlin South corridor.
About 12 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — close enough to make a weekday morning hike before work a realistic habit, not just a weekend trip. The Bureau of Land Management maintains the roughly 195,000-acre conservation area with the 13-mile scenic drive, dozens of trails, and world-class rock climbing.
Howard Hughes Corporation selected multiple production builders for The Gardens during its 1999–2005 buildout, including names like Kaufman and Broad (now KB Home), Beazer, and Del Webb for specific phases. Today it's all resale — no active builder sales. We can research the specific builder for any address you're considering during due diligence.

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