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 Madera at Mountains Edge?


The Answer

Madera delivers southwest Las Vegas family living at an accessible price: newer desert-contemporary homes from $380K, trail access, 100-plus acres of master-plan parks, and Spring Mountains views minutes from the door. City of Las Vegas handles municipal services, and Nevada's zero income tax keeps relocation costs well below any California comparable.

What is Madera known for?

Madera is known as a well-priced, family-oriented village inside the Mountains Edge master plan — 2004-2010 desert-contemporary construction by Focus Property Group, trail access to Exploration Peak Park, and a southwest Las Vegas address that puts Henderson employers, the airport, and the Strip within a short drive, all from $380,000.

Who should live in Madera?

Madera fits growing families seeking newer construction with a master-plan trail system, first-time buyers stepping into southwest Las Vegas homeownership, California relocators trading state income tax for Spring Mountains views, and investors targeting consistent rental demand from families drawn to the school district and park access.

What is daily life like?

Mornings run the Mountains Edge trail network or summit Exploration Peak, afternoons handle errands along Blue Diamond Road, and evenings return to a quiet cul-de-sac with sunset views of the Spring Mountains — a family rhythm that has made Mountains Edge one of the most consistently popular master plans in the southwest valley.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Madera Area Growing?

Madera's build-out wrapped between 2004 and 2010 — the village is complete, and growth now means turnover and appreciation, not new supply. Mountains Edge as a whole added significantly to the southwest Las Vegas population during the same decade, and the Enterprise CDP counted 221,831 residents in the 2020 Census and 240,464 in the ACS 2020–2024 estimate, keeping demand pressure on well-located master-plan villages like Madera.

Enterprise CDP population, 2020–2024 (Census counts and ACS)

Inside Madera, growth means resale competition, not new construction. The village is built out; every new southwest Las Vegas family buyer looking for master-plan trail access and newer construction in ZIP 89178 competes for a fixed stock. That scarcity equation — rising metro-area demand against a capped village inventory — is the investment logic that has kept Mountains Edge absorption rates steady across multiple market cycles.

Enterprise CDP: 2020 is the decennial Census count and the last bar the ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimate; the Census redrew this area between 2010 and 2020 (land area 46.5 sq mi in 2010, 66.0 in 2020), so 2010 is not comparable and is omitted. Last updated September 2026.

The long view: the median sold price in ZIP 89178 rose 78% between 2015 ($225,000) and 2021 ($400,000), across 6,386 recorded closings — Las Vegas REALTORS MLS records via Repliers.

Pros

  • 100-plus acres of master-plan parks including Exploration Peak's 30-acre summit-trail park
  • Newer 2004-2010 desert-contemporary construction by Focus Property Group from $380K
  • Connected trail network through Mountains Edge accessible directly from Madera streets

  • 20-minute Harry Reid Airport commute via I-215/I-15

Honest Considerations

  • No guard gate — Madera is an open-street village; buyers prioritizing controlled access should compare Rhodes Ranch
  • Zoned public schools (Wright ES/Faiss MS/Sierra Vista HS) rate below the Summerlin corridor
  • 25-minute Strip commute — longer than central Las Vegas or Henderson east-side addresses
  • Summer heat: 108°F+ stretches July through September, like all of the Las Vegas Valley
  • HOA dues ($60–$150/mo) are modest but require verification of reserve health in escrow
  • Thin resale selection at any given time — village is built out, so patience is part of the process

    Transit serves Blue Diamond Road and the I-215 corridor but is not practical for most Madera residents. Plan a car-first lifestyle; transit covers specific downtown-bound commutes for shift workers without vehicle access.

  • Cycling and Trails

    The Mountains Edge trail network supports recreational cycling and running between Madera, Exploration Peak, and other park facilities — a genuine daily-use recreation loop, though not a practical work commute to Strip or Henderson employment.

  • Rideshare

    Available in Mountains Edge with typical 6–10 minute pickup times. Airport runs cost approximately $30–$45 given the 20-minute drive — competitive with parking. Most Madera residents keep a personal vehicle as the primary commute mode.

Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.

Madera at Mountains Edge FAQ — 18 Answers

What Do Madera at Mountains Edge Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in Madera at Mountains Edge?

Homes in Madera range from approximately $380,000 for entry-level resales to $600,000 for upgraded corner lots with mountain views. The surrounding ZIP 89178 carried a $500,000 median list price and a $482,500 median sold price in November 2026 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — Madera pricing tracks tightly with that ZIP-area baseline. Desert-contemporary floor plans from 2004-2010 typically run 1,600 to 2,800 square feet across single-story and two-story configurations.

Is Madera part of Mountains Edge?

Yes — Madera is a residential village inside Mountains Edge, the roughly 3,500-acre master-planned community in southwest Las Vegas (ZIP 89178). Residents access the master plan's 100-plus acres of parks, the connected trail network, and Exploration Peak Park's summit trail. Developed during the 2004-2010 build-out by Focus Property Group, Madera combines its own village streetscape with master-plan amenities worth understanding before you write an offer.

What are HOA fees in Madera?

Budget $60 to $150 per month combining the Mountains Edge master assessment with Madera's sub-association fee. Those dues fund the master plan's 100-plus acres of parks, trails, and common-area maintenance. The precise figure varies by sub-association and adjusts annually, so verify the current amount through the resale package before closing. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 to confirm dues on a specific address.

What parks does Mountains Edge offer Madera residents?

Mountains Edge features over 100 acres of parkland. Exploration Peak Park (30 acres, 9700 S Buffalo Dr) is the flagship: a summit trail with panoramic valley views, a playground, amphitheater, and sports courts. Mountains Edge Regional Park adds sports fields, walking trails, a dog park, and picnic areas. The master plan's trail network connects Madera directly to both facilities — a genuine daily-use lifestyle advantage that newer single-ZIP communities often lack.

How far is Madera from the Las Vegas Strip?

Madera sits about 25 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via I-15 North. Other key drives: approximately 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport via I-215/I-15, 15 minutes to Henderson on I-215 East, and 30 minutes to Summerlin on I-215 West. Blue Diamond Road and the I-215 interchange put everyday retail and dining within a short drive. Test the route at your actual commute hour before committing.

What schools serve Madera at Mountains Edge?

Clark County School District serves Madera with Wright Elementary, Faiss Middle School, and Sierra Vista High School as the assigned public campuses. Charter options include Doral Academy of Nevada and Pinecrest Academy, both rated 8/10 on GreatSchools. Private standouts nearby include Bishop Gorman, Faith Lutheran Middle and High, and Mountain View Christian School. Always confirm CCSD zoning for the specific address before offering — boundaries can shift between school years.

What property taxes can I expect in Madera?

Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of market 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 $450,000 Madera purchase, plan around $2,250 to $3,150 annually. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s property-tax cap. Verify the parcel’s annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and the new owner’s abatement eligibility with the county assessor.

How does Madera compare to other Mountains Edge villages?

Madera, Mandolin, Maravilla, and Mirasol are all Focus Property Group villages built in Mountains Edge between 2004 and 2010 and share similar price ranges, HOA structures, and park access. What separates them is lot position, floor-plan selection, and street character. Madera tends to attract families who prioritize larger lots and access to the Exploration Peak trail corridor. Nevada Real Estate Group can walk you through each village with current inventory side by side.

Is Madera at Mountains Edge guard-gated?

No. Madera is an open-street single-family village within the Mountains Edge master plan — there is no guard gate or perimeter wall. Streets are quiet residential corridors maintained by the HOA and the City of Las Vegas. Buyers seeking a guard-gated southwest Las Vegas address should consider Rhodes Ranch, which is roughly 10 minutes from Mountains Edge and offers gated golf-course living from a similar price tier.

What floor plans and sizes are typical in Madera?

Madera homes typically run 1,600 to 2,800 square feet across single-story and two-story configurations, with three to five bedrooms, two to three-car garages, and desert-contemporary exteriors. Upgraded lots on the periphery of the village can offer Spring Mountains views or additional backyard depth. Energy-efficient systems from the 2004-2010 build era still perform well, though HVAC units and roofing are approaching first major service cycles on the oldest homes.

What is the rental market like in Madera?

Single-family homes in Mountains Edge rent for approximately $1,800 to $2,800 per month depending on size and condition, with Madera tracking the mid-range of that corridor. Rental demand is driven by families attracted to the school district, trail system, and the southwest valley's proximity to Henderson employers and the airport. Short-term rental regulations in Las Vegas are strict — confirm city ordinances before underwriting any nightly income on a Madera purchase.

What should I know before buying in Madera?

Four factors move money in Madera. HOA layers: the combined master and sub-association fee runs $60–$150 monthly and funds trail and park maintenance worth confirming during escrow. age-of-systems: 2004-2010 construction means HVAC, roofing, and water heaters are approaching service cycles — budget accordingly. lot position: periphery lots with mountain views or extra depth command premiums. A sale alone does not reset Nevada’s property-tax cap. Verify the parcel’s annual assessment, prior-year tax bill and the new owner’s abatement eligibility with the county assessor.

What down payment do I need to buy in Madera?

Most Madera buyers put down 3.5% to 20%. At the $450,000 mid-range, FHA requires 3.5% ($15,750) with a 580+ credit score; conventional loans allow 3–5% down for well-qualified buyers. Veterans can use VA loans with 0% down and no mortgage insurance. Conforming loan limits cover all Madera price points. Nevada Real Estate Group connects buyers with local lenders who understand Mountains Edge valuations and appraisal timelines in ZIP 89178.

How fast does Madera sell in the current market?

ZIP 89178 showed a 32-day median from list to accepted offer per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data in June 2026 — reflecting a balanced market where well-priced homes attract offers within the first two weeks while overpriced listings sit. Mountains Edge's family appeal and trail-system amenities sustain consistent buyer demand, and inventory at 198 active listings across the ZIP is healthy. Price correctly from day one and expect a competitive but not frantic pace.

What is the resale value trend for Madera homes?

Mountains Edge communities have tracked steadily above the Las Vegas city median appreciation rate, supported by the 3,500-acre master plan's continued desirability and the trail-and-parks infrastructure that attracts family buyers. Madera's 2004-2010 vintage means homes are seasoned enough to avoid new-construction price volatility while still carrying modern floor plans. Ask Nevada Real Estate Group for ZIP 89178 closed comps from the past six months before writing an offer or setting a list price.

What down payment do you need to buy in Madera?

Nevada Real Estate Group connects buyers with lenders who know ZIP 89178 appraisal timelines well.

Pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve fund status, and any pending special assessments — during escrow before your inspection contingency expires so the true carrying cost is locked in.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK

What Else Do People Ask About Madera at Mountains Edge?

Eight questions Madera buyers search most often — each answered with verifiable specifics from City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, and GreatSchools ratings. Every figure links to a primary source.

Is Madera part of Las Vegas or Mountains Edge?

Both — Madera is a residential village within the Mountains Edge master-planned community, which sits inside the City of Las Vegas (ZIP 89178). Mailing addresses say Las Vegas, NV 89178. "Mountains Edge" is the master-plan name; "Madera" is the specific village developed by Focus Property Group between 2004 and 2010.

What ZIP code does Madera at Mountains Edge use?

ZIP 89178 — the southwest Las Vegas ZIP covering Mountains Edge and adjacent communities. Drive times from this ZIP run 5 minutes to Exploration Peak Park, 20 minutes to Harry Reid Airport, and 25 minutes to the Strip via I-15 North.

Is Madera the same as Mountains Edge?

No — Madera is one village within the 3,500-acre Mountains Edge master plan. Other Focus Property Group villages in the same master plan include Mandolin, Maravilla, and Mirasol. All share the Mountains Edge park system and trails; each has its own HOA sub-association, street character, and price point. Nevada Real Estate Group can tour you through all four in one afternoon.

How old are homes in Madera?

Madera homes were built between 2004 and 2010, making them approximately 16 to 22 years old as of 2026. That vintage means HVAC systems, roofing, and water heaters are approaching first major service cycles on the older homes. Budget a thorough inspection and price age-of-systems into your offer — many sellers have already updated key components.

Does Madera at Mountains Edge have a pool?

Most individual Madera homes do not include a private pool by default, though many owners have added one given the desert climate. There is no community pool or shared aquatic facility within the Madera sub-association. Mountains Edge Regional Park includes sports and recreation facilities but no public pool. Buyers prioritizing a private pool should filter listings by that feature or budget for an add-on after closing.

Is Madera at Mountains Edge walkable?

Partially — the Mountains Edge trail network makes walking within the master plan genuinely practical, connecting Madera to Exploration Peak Park and other facilities without a car. For daily errands, a car is required: Blue Diamond Road retail is five minutes by car and not pedestrian-safe to walk to. The community is car-dependent for work commutes and major shopping, consistent with all Las Vegas suburban master plans.

How far is Madera from Red Rock Canyon?

Approximately 25 minutes northwest via Blue Diamond Road and SR-159 — the same scenic corridor that connects Mountains Edge to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area's visitor center and 13-mile Scenic Loop. The Spring Mountains trail system is about 30 minutes northwest via US-95. Both are realistic day-trip destinations for Madera residents seeking desert recreation.

Is Madera at Mountains Edge a good investment?

The fundamentals support steady performance: a built-out master plan with no new village supply, consistent family-rental demand from buyers seeking trail access and school options, and the Las Vegas southwest valley's ongoing employment growth. Returns depend on the specific lot position and purchase price — ask Nevada Real Estate Group for ZIP 89178 closed comps from the past six months before writing an offer or setting a list price.

Where Does This Madera at Mountains Edge Data Come From?

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. One honesty note: the MLS reports at ZIP level, and ZIP 89178 is broader than Madera's village footprint — so area statistics are labeled as such, and per-village figures are modeled estimates. Follow any link to verify a figure.
