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.

Pros

  • Four distinct neighborhoods in one village, from townhomes to guard-gated Mesa Ridge
  • The 19-acre Mesa Park with little league fields and tennis and basketball courts (Howard Hughes)
  • Downtown Summerlin about 7 to 10 minutes’ drive north without traffic (our free-flow road model)
  • Zero Nevada state income tax and a 3% primary-residence property-tax cap once claimed under NRS 361.4723
  • Homes built 2006–2023 — newer than much of the Las Vegas Valley’s resale stock

Honest Considerations

  • No builder is selling new homes here (Summerlin’s actively selling villages, September 30, 2026) — expect a resale
  • Few listings per neighborhood at any time; Vista Dulce had 4 on September 29, 2026
  • Association structures differ by neighborhood — confirm every layer and its dues in escrow
  • Mesa Ridge prices sit above the 2026 conforming loan limit ($832,750), so jumbo financing applies

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to The Mesa?

Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to The Mesa, get these in writing:

  • The parcel's annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and abatement eligibility. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s tax cap. Nevada tax-abatement rules
  • Lender, insurance and utility quotes for the exact address, plus the association's resale documents and any special assessments.
  • The school assignment for the enrollment year, confirmed with the district.
  • Your tax situation, reviewed by an adviser — California-source income can remain taxable after a move (Franchise Tax Board).
  • Qualifying new residents generally must obtain a Nevada driver’s license and vehicle registration within 30 days. Check the Nevada DMV’s requirements and exceptions for your circumstances.

Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.

Quick Answer

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

Nevada purchases close through an escrow company rather than an attorney, and the contract sets the closing date. Financed purchases need time for the appraisal and loan approval; cash purchases can close faster. Leave room in the contract timeline to review the association resale package.

Quick Answer

What down payment do you need to buy in The Mesa?

That depends on the loan, not the village. Conventional loans up to the 2026 conforming limit ($832,750 for a one-unit home, per FHFA) can start at 3–5% down, and VA loans allow 0% down for eligible borrowers. At $699,990 — the middle of The Mesa’s 37 listings on September 29, 2026 — 5% down is about $35,000 and 20% is about $140,000. Mesa Ridge prices sit above the conforming limit, so plan on jumbo financing there.

The Mesa FAQ — 16 Answers

What Do The Mesa Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in The Mesa, Summerlin?

The Mesa has no published median of its own, so here are both scopes. ZIP 89135, which also covers The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club and other Summerlin South neighborhoods, had a median list price of $900,000 and 42 median days on market in NREG’s latest pull of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Inside the village, the 37 homes listed on September 29, 2026 ran from $499,900 for a Vista Dulce townhome to $3.7 million in Mesa Ridge.

Is The Mesa in Summerlin new construction?

No. Howard Hughes began developing The Mesa in 2004, and the homes listed there on September 29, 2026 were built between 2006 and 2023. The newest section is Mesa Ridge, which Toll Brothers opened in January 2019. The Mesa is not on Summerlin’s list of actively selling villages (checked September 30, 2026), so expect to buy a resale.

Which builders built The Mesa?

Howard Hughes names Toll Brothers as the builder of Mesa Ridge: 322 one- and two-story homes in 14 designs across four collections (Overlook, Sky View, Peak and View Point), roughly 3,000 to 5,000 square feet. Listing remarks describe Vista Dulce’s townhomes as Toll Brothers too. We have not confirmed the original builders of Ladera and Amado; a home’s permit and sales history will show it.

Is The Mesa guard-gated?

Parts of it are. Mesa Ridge is gated: Howard Hughes calls it a gated enclave, its MLS listings describe a guard gate, and its Peak collection has a second gate inside the first. Vista Dulce’s townhomes are in a gated community. The Ladera and Amado listings we reviewed do not mention a gate. Confirm access terms in the association documents for the specific home.

What ZIP code is The Mesa in?

ZIP 89135. Every home listed or sold in The Mesa’s MLS plats over the past year is in 89135; its southern neighbor, The Cliffs, also reaches into 89148. Nevada has no personal income tax, and a primary residence can claim a 3% cap on annual property-tax increases under NRS 361.4723 — until the owner claims it, the general cap of up to 8% applies (NRS 361.4722).

What schools serve The Mesa, Summerlin?

The Clark County School District assigns public schools by address, and boundaries can change by school year, so look up the exact address with CCSD’s zoning search and check each school’s state data on the Nevada Report Card. Bishop Gorman High School, a private Catholic school, is in The Mesa village, per Howard Hughes; private and charter schools set their own admission rules.

What are HOA fees in The Mesa?

They depend on the neighborhood, and we do not publish a range because we have not verified one. Mesa Ridge and Vista Dulce run their own gates and amenities, and a Ladera listing from September 2026 describes a two-association structure. The resale package for the exact home lists every association, its current dues and any transfer fees.

How does The Mesa compare to The Cliffs and The Peaks?

They are its neighbors. The Cliffs (Summerlin Village 16A), the southernmost village, lies directly south; its 89135 plats had 11 homes listed on September 29, 2026, at $0.9 million to $2.4 million, built 2017–2020. To the north-west, The Peaks’ Ascension neighborhood by Toll Brothers (Village 17A) had 15 homes listed at $1,568,000 to $3,845,000, built 2024–2026. The Mesa’s 37 listings spanned $499,900 to $3.7 million, built 2006–2023.

How many homes sold in The Mesa last year?

MLS records show 80 closings in The Mesa’s plats from September 2025 through August 2026: 34 in Ladera (plat medians $612,500 to $645,000), 20 in Amado ($715,000), 21 in Mesa Ridge ($2.1 million to $3.0 million) and 5 in Vista Dulce ($565,000). Past sales do not predict future prices; for a specific home, compare recent sales in the same plat.

What neighborhoods are inside The Mesa?

Four MLS neighborhoods, with their September 29, 2026 listings: Mesa Ridge (12 listed, $1,999,900 to $3.7 million, built 2019–2023), Amado (12, $579,000 to $1,559,000, 2012–2013), Ladera (9, $549,000 to $729,000, 2006–2013) and Vista Dulce (4 townhomes, $499,900 to $597,000, 2015–2017).

How far is The Mesa from the Las Vegas Strip?

About 15 to 21 minutes (10.4 miles) to the Bellagio and about 17 to 21 minutes (14.1 miles) to Harry Reid International Airport’s Terminal 1, measured from the middle of the village by our free-flow road model on OpenStreetMap data, without traffic (October 26, 2026). Rush hour on the 215 Beltway adds time.

What outdoor recreation is near The Mesa?

Red Rock Canyon, Nevada’s first National Conservation Area, has a 13-mile scenic drive, per the Bureau of Land Management; its visitor center is about 15 to 20 minutes (11.1 miles) from the village by our free-flow road model, without traffic. Inside the village, The Mesa Park covers 19 acres with three little league fields and tennis and basketball courts, per Howard Hughes.

What should I know before buying in The Mesa?

Four things. Pick the neighborhood first: the plats differ by decade, product type and gate. Confirm every association and its dues in the resale package. Confirm school assignments for the address with CCSD. And judge price against recent closings in the same plat, not the ZIP 89135 median, which covers a much wider area. Call (702) 637-1759 to get started.

What down payment do you need to buy in The Mesa?

That depends on the loan, not the village. Conventional loans up to the 2026 conforming limit ($832,750 for a one-unit home, per FHFA) can start at 3–5% down, and VA loans allow 0% down for eligible borrowers. At $699,990 — the middle of The Mesa’s 37 listings on September 29, 2026 — 5% down is about $35,000 and 20% is about $140,000. Mesa Ridge prices sit above the conforming limit, so plan on jumbo financing there.

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

Nevada purchases close through an escrow company rather than an attorney, and the contract sets the closing date. Financed purchases need time for the appraisal and loan approval; cash purchases can close faster. Leave room in the contract timeline to review the association resale package.
