POPULATION & GROWTH
North Las Vegas is one of Nevada's fastest-growing cities, adding roughly 60,000+ residents over the past decade per U.S. Census data, and Park Highlands is one of the primary drivers: a ~2,000-acre master plan entitled for 10,000+ homes at full build-out, actively delivering rooftops since 2014. Early-phase buyers in growing master plans historically benefit as infrastructure and commercial amenities arrive over time.
The 10,000+ home entitlement means there is still meaningful community build-out ahead — which drives continued infrastructure investment and appreciation potential for early buyers.

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
Park Highlands sits at the northern end of the I-15 corridor — the valley's primary commute spine. Mean Las Vegas metro commutes run about 26 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data. Most Park Highlands destinations south beat that; northern valley amenities are closer still.
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.
Quick Answer
Spec (quick move-in) homes close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash purchases can close in 14–21 days. To-be-built contracts run 90–180 days depending on builder and phase. Get your completion estimate in writing and have your agent track the build schedule weekly so rate-lock timing doesn't cost you.
Quick Answer
Most Park Highlands buyers put down 3–10%. On a $450,000 new-construction home, a conventional 5% down payment means roughly $22,500 out of pocket; FHA loans allow 3.5% with a 580+ credit score. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans — and most active Park Highlands builders accept VA financing. Builder preferred-lender programs often bundle closing-cost credits with required use, so compare the all-in cost before committing to any single financing path.
Park Highlands FAQ — 18 Answers
Across ZIP codes 89085 and 89086, the median list price runs approximately $400,000 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data.

Yes — Park Highlands is actively building across its ~2,000-acre master plan, which is entitled for more than 10,000 homes at full build-out. With 4,000+ homes delivered since 2014, the community still has several active phases from Shea Homes, Lennar, KB Home, Richmond American, and Taylor Morrison.

Each offers multiple floor plans and price points across different phases of the master plan. Builder lineups shift as phases sell out, so verify which builders have active releases before visiting.

Park Highlands spans ZIP codes 89085 and 89086 in North Las Vegas, at the northern edge of the Las Vegas Valley. Homes range from $350,000 to $600,000 across the ~2,000-acre master plan. The Strip is about 25 minutes south via I-15; Downtown Las Vegas about 15 minutes. Set alerts for both ZIPs so you never miss a listing on either side of the community boundary.
No — Park Highlands is an open master-planned community, not guard-gated. Security comes from HOA governance, neighborhood design, and a growing residential base rather than staffed gates. The trade-off favors your budget: HOA fees run a modest $60–$150 per month while still funding community parks, the connected trail system, and common-area maintenance. If staffed gates are essential, we can point you to gated alternatives elsewhere in the Las Vegas Valley.
Expect $60–$150 per month, covering community parks, the connected trail system, and common-area maintenance across the master plan. Exact dues vary by sub-association and builder phase — request the resale package or builder HOA disclosure for the specific neighborhood you are considering. Combined with Nevada's zero state income tax and effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% capped at 3% annual growth for primary residences under NRS 361.4723, monthly carrying costs stay manageable.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor — and annual increases on a primary residence are capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 once the owner claims it. On a $400,000 Park Highlands home that means approximately $2,000–$3,000 per year. There is no state income tax in Nevada, so a California household earning $200,000 saves roughly $20,000+ annually compared to California's top marginal rate of 13.3%.
Park Highlands is zoned to Clark County School District campuses: Reedom Elementary (6/10 per GreatSchools), Kathleen & Tim Harney Middle School (6/10), and Legacy High School (5/10). Charter alternatives score higher — Somerset Academy North Las Vegas rates 8/10 and Doral Academy of Nevada rates 9/10 per GreatSchools. Private options include American Preparatory Academy (K–12) and Faith Lutheran Middle & High (A rating). Verify zoning for any specific address before you offer.
Choose Park Highlands for the newest homes; choose Aliante for mature amenities. Park Highlands is a 2,000-acre master plan in active construction since 2014, with current floor plans from five national builders starting near $350,000. Aliante is more established, anchored by a golf course, casino, and Nature Discovery Park. Pricing overlaps — Aliante from roughly $300,000, Park Highlands from $350,000. Both sit about 25 minutes from the Strip. Tour both; the new-versus-established trade-off usually decides it.
Park Highlands' master plan centers outdoor recreation: a ~15-acre Central Park with event space, sports courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas; ~50 linear acres of connected walking and cycling trails threading the community; and Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs roughly ten minutes away — 680 acres of fishing ponds, peacock gardens, and historic ranch buildings. Higher-elevation Summit View lots capture panoramic Sheep Range and Spring Mountains views visible from many backyards.
About 25 minutes to the Las Vegas Strip via I-15 South. Downtown Las Vegas is closer at roughly 15 minutes, Harry Reid International Airport runs about 35 minutes via I-15 and I-215, and the Aliante Casino is only 10 minutes away for nearby dining and entertainment. The I-15 corridor is the commute spine — test the route at your actual commute hour before committing to any specific block within the community.
Park Highlands is in its growth phase — early buyers in active master-plan communities historically benefit from appreciation as the plan matures and commercial amenities arrive. With 10,000+ homes entitled at full build-out, long-term infrastructure investment is locked in. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.4723 keep carrying costs predictable. That said, new construction means resale buyers compete with builder pricing — factor that into your exit assumptions.
The gap is substantial. California's top marginal state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board. Nevada levies zero. A household earning $300,000 saves roughly $30,000+ per year in state income tax alone — enough to buy significantly more home at Park Highlands' $350K–$600K price points. Add Nevada's 3% property-tax cap and no personal property tax on vehicles, and the annual savings fund most of the price premium over staying in California.
Six distinct sub-neighborhoods make up Park Highlands: Park Highlands West (earliest phase, most mature streetscape, from $400K), Park Highlands East (newest construction, latest builder floor plans, from $375K), Summit View (elevated lots with mountain views and enhanced privacy, from $400K), Parkside (adjacent to the Central Park with direct trail access, from $425K), Trailside (along the connected trail system, from $400K), and Starter Homes (the most affordable entry tier, from $350K).

Most Park Highlands buyers put down 3–10%. On a $450,000 new-construction home, a conventional 5% down payment means roughly $22,500 out of pocket; FHA loans allow 3.5% with a 580+ credit score. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans — and several Park Highlands builders accept VA financing directly. Builder preferred-lender programs often bundle closing-cost credits with required use, so compare the all-in cost before committing to any one financing path.
Spec (quick move-in) homes close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. To-be-built contracts run 90–180 days depending on builder, phase, and current production pace. Cash purchases on standing spec inventory can close in 14–21 days. Builder timelines shift with supply chains and permitting — get your completion estimate in writing, and have your agent track the build schedule weekly so financing lock timing doesn't cost you rate.
Run both and compare the all-in cost. Builder preferred lenders often offer $5,000–$15,000 in closing credits or upgrade allowances tied to using their program — but their rate may run 0.125–0.375% above market, which costs more over 30 years than the upfront credit saves. Have an outside lender issue a competing loan estimate on the same scenario. Our agents help buyers model both paths before signing any builder contract at Park Highlands.

These are the eight queries Park Highlands buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: market figures from NREG’s MLS analysis, tax law from Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the plan record.
Park Highlands is in North Las Vegas — a separate incorporated city from the City of Las Vegas — within ZIP codes 89085 and 89086. It's governed by the City of North Las Vegas and served by the North Las Vegas Police Department. The master plan sits at the northern edge of the Las Vegas Valley, about 20 miles from the Strip.
The master plan is entitled for more than 10,000 homes at full build-out across ~2,000 acres. With 4,000+ homes delivered since 2014, the community still has significant build-out ahead — making it one of the largest active master-planned developments in the Las Vegas Valley, and one of the few where early buyers can still participate in the appreciation curve.
Yes — most active Park Highlands builders accept VA loans, and the 0% down payment benefit is particularly valuable at this community's $350K–$600K price points. The funding fee applies unless you have a service-connected disability rating; your lender handles the VA appraisal and certificate of eligibility. Call (702) 637-1759 and our agents will connect you with VA-experienced builders and lenders in the community.
It depends on your priorities. Parkside streets adjacent to the Central Park are best for families who want daily trail access. Summit View streets on the community's northern elevation are best for mountain views. Park Highlands West has the most established streetscape and mature landscaping. Our agents who specialize in Park Highlands can map current listings to your specific priorities — block by block.
Yes — it's one of the strongest first-time buyer markets in the Las Vegas Valley. New construction from $350K, builder warranty coverage, FHA and VA financing accepted by most active builders, and $60–$150/mo HOA fees make the monthly carrying cost very manageable. Builder incentive programs often include closing-cost credits and rate buydowns that reduce effective out-of-pocket costs further.
California's top marginal state income-tax rate 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 by establishing Nevada residency. Add Nevada's 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.4723 and the absence of a personal property tax on vehicles, and the annual savings materially improve the affordability of a Park Highlands purchase versus staying in California.
Yes — Park Highlands West, the earliest completed phase, is now a mature resale market alongside active new phases in Park Highlands East and Summit View. Resale buyers often get established landscaping and sometimes larger lots in earlier phases; new-construction buyers get the latest floor plans and builder warranties. Our agents can model both scenarios at the same price point so you see the real trade-offs before you choose.
The community trail system covers approximately 50 linear acres of connected walking and cycling paths lacing through all six sub-neighborhoods and linking to Park Highlands Central Park. The trails provide direct pedestrian connections to the ~15-acre Central Park's sports courts, event space, and picnic areas — designed to keep outdoor recreation accessible from any address in the master plan without a car.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly. ZIP-area statistics for 89085/89086 are presented as area benchmarks — the master plan is still in active construction, so phase-level medians are too volatile for point estimates. Follow any link below to verify a figure.
Methodology: Listing counts, prices and days on market are NREG's analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data received through the Repliers feed; this page refreshes them about once a day, and each market figure carries its date or window. Census and BLS figures are the published vintage named beside them and change only when the agency releases new estimates. Confirm details for a specific home with its listing and the responsible agency.
