KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mountains Edge is southwest Las Vegas’ 3,500-acre master plan — 12,000+ homes built since 2004 by Focus Property Group per Clark County records — with a $509,000 median list across the 89178/89141 ZIP area and 27-day market pace per Las Vegas REALTORS. The takeaways below unpack the value case.

STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Custom alerts by section, price, beds, and view lots — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. In a market where well-priced $400K–$550K homes go pending in a median of 27 days per Las Vegas REALTORS data, alert subscribers see the right listing within hours — often before the first weekend rush.
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.

CRIME DATA
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.
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.

Mountains Edge delivers family-first master-planned living on the valley’s elevated southwest rim: a 100-acre regional park, the 98-acre Exploration Peak, miles of connected trails, and Red Rock Canyon ten minutes up Blue Diamond Road. Clark County parks and services cover the plan, and ZIP-area pricing undercuts Summerlin’s median by roughly $170,000.
Mountains Edge is known for its 3,500-acre scale, the ~100-acre Mountains Edge Regional Park, Exploration Peak’s summit trails, connected multi-use paths between neighborhoods, and Spring Mountains and Red Rock views from its elevated southwest-rim position.
It fits growing families targeting the 8/10 zoned elementary, first-time buyers entering near $350K, move-up households wanting view lots in Vistas or Canyons Edge, and outdoor-focused buyers who want Red Rock Canyon ten minutes away.
Mornings run the trail network or Exploration Peak, school drop-offs stay inside the plan, errands cluster along Blue Diamond and Durango five minutes out, and weekends split between the Regional Park’s fields and the canyons west of town.
Mountains Edge sits on the Las Vegas Valley’s elevated southwest rim, south of Blue Diamond Road (SR-160) in unincorporated Clark County, ZIPs 89178 and 89141. About 3,500 acres. Roughly 20 minutes from the Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — especially for families running the value math. Mountains Edge pairs a 3,500-acre master plan with one of the valley’s best in-plan park systems (the ~100-acre Regional Park plus ~98-acre Exploration Peak), an 8/10 zoned elementary, HOA dues of just $50–$150 monthly, and a $560,000 ZIP-area median that undercuts Summerlin by roughly $170,000. The trade-offs are honest: no guard gates or clubhouse, a 6/10 zoned high school, and summer heat like the rest of the valley. For school-age households and first-time buyers, the value case is among the strongest in southwest Las Vegas.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city whose mailing addresses Mountains Edge carries — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Within the master plan itself, the profile skews young-family: roughly 40,000 residents across 12,000+ households with about 72% owner-occupancy, per the plan record.
One honesty note: Mountains Edge sits in unincorporated Clark County, and neither the Census nor the FBI tabulates the plan separately — so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide, presented as the statistical backdrop. Inside the plan, our closing data shows a mix of first-time buyers, move-up families chasing school zones and view lots, and a steady stream of relocating Southern California households.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Mountains Edge itself largely built out between 2004 and 2020 — roughly 40,000 residents now call the plan home per the community record — while the southwest valley around it keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, with the 89178 corridor among the fastest-filling edges.
Inside the plan, growth now means turnover rather than construction: the ZIP area closed 297 homes in the past hundred days — roughly 90 a month — which makes Mountains Edge one of the most liquid family markets in the valley. Remaining builder phases are limited, so the resale market carries the volume, and the surrounding southwest rim keeps adding retail and services along Blue Diamond Road.

BY ZIP CODE
Mountains Edge spans two ZIP codes — 89178 carries the plan’s core, 89141 its southeastern sections — and the table below breaks the ZIP area into real corridors. These ZIPs are broader than the plan itself, so the combined $560,000 median list and 27-day pace per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data blend Mountains Edge with its surroundings.

New Construction
Mountains Edge is primarily a resale market: Pulte, KB Home, Pardee, Richmond American, and Beazer delivered most of the plan’s 12,000+ homes between 2004 and 2020, so today’s buyer is choosing among their floor plans on the resale market. Remaining new-build phases are limited and price toward the top of the $350K–$650K band — verify current releases before you tour.

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.
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.
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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Mountains Edge runs on the southwest valley’s service-and-commuter economy.

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
Blue Diamond Road (SR-160) is the spine, feeding the I-15 and I-215 interchanges within about ten minutes of most sections. Most households drive — the plan is suburban by design — with mean Las Vegas-area commutes near 26 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data, shorter than the coastal-metro averages most relocating families leave behind.

Quick Answer
Most Mountains Edge purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys — and cash can close in 7–14 days. Add a few days for HOA resale-package delivery (master plus any sub-association). In the competitive $400K–$550K heart of this market, clean financing terms and quick inspection windows win ties.
Quick Answer
Most Mountains Edge buyers put down 3% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers — about $16,800 on the $560,000 ZIP-area median — FHA allows 3.5% (roughly $12,250 on a $350,000 entry home), and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. A 10% down payment is $56,000; 20%, which removes mortgage insurance, is $112,000. Because the $400K–$550K band is the valley’s most competitive, a fully underwritten pre-approval matters as much as the down payment itself.
Mountains Edge FAQ — 18 Answers
Across the two Mountains Edge ZIP codes (89178/89141), the median list price is about $509,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data; homes closed at a $514,900 median in the past hundred days. Plan resales run roughly $350,000 for early-phase entry homes to $650,000+ in newer view sections like Vistas and Canyons Edge — the $400K–$550K heart is most competitive.
It depends on what you’re optimizing for. Vistas at Mountains Edge holds the elevated west-rim lots with mountain and valley views from about $500K. Canyons Edge and Aspire carry the newer construction — contemporary plans from roughly $375K–$450K. Quintessa is the established Pardee section near the Regional Park from about $400K, Suncrest suits growing families with larger lots from $425K, and Cornerstone is the entry door from about $350K, close to the Blue Diamond retail corridor.
Value and simplicity. The Mountains Edge ZIP area’s $509,000 median list undercuts Summerlin’s $728K by roughly $170,000, and HOA dues of $50–$150 monthly run far below what guard-gated golf communities like Southern Highlands charge. The trade: no guard gates, no country club, and a younger amenity base. What you keep: a 100-acre regional park, miles of connected trails, Red Rock Canyon ten minutes up Blue Diamond Road, and a far easier monthly budget.
Homes sold across the Mountains Edge ZIP area over the past hundred days took a median of about 26 days from list to accepted offer, per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics. Unlike small luxury enclaves, this is a deep, liquid sample — 297 closings in that window, roughly 90 a month — so the median is statistically sturdy. Well-priced homes in the $400K–$550K heart of the band routinely attract multiple offers in the first two weekends.
Low by national standards. Nevada’s effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of a home’s value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. Mountains Edge sits in unincorporated Clark County rather than Las Vegas city limits — a structural detail worth knowing for service and tax research. On a $509,000 purchase, plan for roughly $3,000–$3,900 a year.
Yes, and they’re one of the plan’s best features: typically $50 to $150 per month depending on the section, covering the master association’s trail network, common-area landscaping, and neighborhood parks. Some sections layer a modest sub-association on top of the master dues, so request the resale package for the specific property early in escrow. Those low carrying costs are a genuine affordability edge over comparable master plans — many charge double or triple.
Attainable for a master plan of this quality. The ZIP-area median near $509,000 sits below Henderson’s $548K and far below Summerlin’s $728K, HOA dues run just $50–$150 monthly, and Nevada levies no state income tax — worth five figures annually to most relocating California households. Day-to-day costs track the rest of Clark County: groceries and dining cluster along the Blue Diamond and Durango corridor, five minutes from most sections.
Strong at the elementary level, mid-pack at the top. Zoned Carolyn S. Reedom Elementary rates 8/10 on GreatSchools and the record flags Wright STEM Academy among the southwest valley’s highest-rated; Lawrence & Heidi Canarelli Middle rates 7/10, and Sierra Vista High School rates 6/10. Doral Academy (9/10) and Somerset Academy Sky Pointe (8/10) are the charter standouts, with Bishop Gorman the marquee private option. Zones split block to block — verify any address before offering.
Few valley communities match it. The roughly 100-acre Mountains Edge Regional Park anchors ballfields, playgrounds, and a splash pad; Exploration Peak Park adds about 98 acres of hiking and a summit kids genuinely love; and a connected trail network links neighborhoods to schools and parks without crossing arterials. Add an 8/10 zoned elementary, $50–$150 monthly HOA dues, and a $400K–$550K market heart, and the family value case is hard to beat.
Steady and family-driven. Three- and four-bedroom single-family homes typically rent in the $2,200–$2,900 monthly range per Las Vegas REALTORS rental tracking, with newer and view sections at the top of the band. The deep owner-occupied base (roughly 72% per the plan record) keeps streets stable, and the ZIP area’s ~90 closings a month gives investors honest comps. Verify any sub-association’s rental rules in the resale package before underwriting.
Limited — the plan largely built out between 2004 and 2020, so Mountains Edge is primarily a resale market today. Where remaining builder phases release homes, they price toward the top of the $350K–$650K band. Buyers set on brand-new homes usually compare the southwest valley’s resales against actively selling master plans elsewhere in the valley — our new-construction hub tracks current releases and builder incentives weekly.
The outdoors is the amenity. Mountains Edge Regional Park brings roughly 100 acres of athletic fields, courts, playgrounds, and a splash pad; Exploration Peak Park adds about 98 acres of desert trails and summit views; the central Mountains Edge Park covers the daily playground run; and dedicated open-space corridors thread trails between neighborhoods. The Blue Diamond and Durango commercial corridor handles retail, dining, and medical — and Red Rock Canyon is ten minutes west.
Better than the southwest rim location suggests. Blue Diamond Road (SR-160) is the spine, with the I-15 and I-215 interchanges within about ten minutes of most sections. Plan roughly 20 minutes to the Strip, about 25 to Harry Reid International Airport, and about 15 to Southern Highlands and the St. Rose corridor. Red Rock Canyon runs ten minutes the other way — the reverse commute nobody complains about.
Mountains Edge is served by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department — the plan sits in unincorporated Clark County — and the FBI does not tabulate the community separately, so we won’t invent a precise ranking. Structurally, the profile favors safety: roughly 72% owner-occupancy per the plan record, single-family streets with limited through-traffic, HOA-maintained common areas, and busy parks. Typical incidents are suburban property matters; standard precautions cover most of it.
Four things move real money here. First, school zones split block to block across a 12,000-home plan — verify the exact zoning for any address. Second, the plan spans two ZIP codes (89178/89141); confirm which one a listing sits in before comparing insurance and comps. Third, check the resale package for any sub-association dues above the master HOA. Fourth, the $400K–$550K band is the valley’s most competitive — get pre-approved before touring, or call (702) 637-1759 and we’ll sequence it for you.
Most Mountains Edge buyers put down 3% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% for qualified buyers — about $16,800 on the $509,000 ZIP-area median — FHA allows 3.5% (roughly $12,250 on a $350,000 entry home), and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. A 10% down payment is $56,000; 20%, which removes mortgage insurance, is $112,000. Because the $400K–$550K band is the valley’s most competitive, a fully underwritten pre-approval matters as much as the down payment itself.
Budget $50 to $150 per month, per the plan record — among the lowest carrying costs of any major Las Vegas Valley master plan. The master association maintains the trail network, common-area landscaping, and neighborhood parks; some sections add a modest sub-association on top, so pull the resale package early to confirm the exact stack. There is no country-club membership or guard-gate staffing line — the simplicity is the point. Always verify dues, reserves, and any assessment history in escrow.
Most Mountains Edge purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Add a few days for HOA resale-package delivery and review (master plus any sub-association), and build your timeline around the competitive reality: in the $400K–$550K heart of this market, clean financing terms and quick inspection windows win ties.

These are the eight queries Mountains Edge buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: plan facts from the developer record and Clark County, prices from Las Vegas REALTORS, and recreation data from the Bureau of Land Management.
No — Mountains Edge carries Las Vegas mailing addresses but sits in unincorporated Clark County, so county government provides services and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department patrols. It’s a common point of confusion that matters for service and tax research.
ZIPs 89178 and 89141. The plan’s core sits in 89178 with southeastern sections in 89141 — confirm which ZIP and school zone a specific listing falls in before comparing comps or insurance quotes, since the boundary splits the community.
Focus Property Group master-planned the 3,500-acre community starting in 2004, with Pulte, KB Home, Pardee, Richmond American, and Beazer building most of the 12,000+ homes between 2004 and 2020.
No — there is no resort-style clubhouse, and that’s why HOA dues stay at $50–$150 monthly. The amenity package is the public park system: the ~100-acre Regional Park, Exploration Peak’s ~98 acres, and the connected trail network, all maintained by Clark County and the master association.
Yes — Exploration Peak Park puts about 98 acres of desert trails and a genuine summit inside the plan, with full-valley views from the top. For bigger days, Red Rock Canyon’s trailheads start ten minutes west via Blue Diamond Road.
The fundamentals favor it: a deep, liquid market of roughly 90 ZIP-area closings a month, family rental demand at $2,200–$2,900 for single-family homes per LVR tracking, and entry pricing below comparable master plans. Verify any sub-association rental rules before underwriting.
About 20 minutes via Blue Diamond Road and I-15 north, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 25 minutes via I-15 and I-215.
No — Mountains Edge is an all-ages family master plan. Buyers wanting 55+ living compare the valley’s dedicated active-adult communities instead; our 55+ communities hub maps every option with current pricing.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. One honesty note: market stats cover ZIP codes 89178/89141 — the area containing the plan, broader than the plan itself. Plan facts (acreage, home count, HOA range, sections) come from the developer record. Follow any link to verify a figure.
Methodology: Listing data is sourced via Repliers IDX feed (Las Vegas MLS) and refreshed every 15 minutes. Demographic and economic data are pulled monthly via Census/BLS APIs. School data is refreshed quarterly. All comparisons are like-for-like (same metric, same time period).
