KEY TAKEAWAYS

What Should You Know About Park Highlands at a Glance?

Park Highlands is a ~2,000-acre master-planned community in North Las Vegas (ZIPs 89085/89086) with 4,000+ homes delivered from national builders priced $350K–$600K, an active-listing median near $400,000 per NREG’s MLS analysis, and a growing parks-and-trails network. North Las Vegas demographics per the U.S. Census. The takeaways below cover what matters most before you buy.

  • New construction value: national builders priced $350K–$600K — roughly 20–40% below comparable new builds in Summerlin or Henderson.
  • Master-plan scale: ~2,000 acres entitled for 10,000+ homes at full build-out; parks, trails, and schools built alongside residential phases.
  • Best for: first-time buyers, young families, California relocators, and investors seeking new-construction appreciation in a growing master plan.
  • Not guard-gated: open community with $60–$150/mo HOA covering parks and trails — budget goes further here than behind staffed gates.
  • Builder due diligence: compare preferred-lender credits vs. outside-rate savings, understand the HOA phase structure, and get completion dates in writing.

School planning

Which Schools Serve a North 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.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Park Highlands Area Growing?

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.

Pros

  • New construction from $350K — among the best new-home values in the Las Vegas Valley
  • Five national builders competing simultaneously, giving buyers real leverage on incentives
  • ~2,000-acre master plan entitled for 10,000+ homes with parks and trails built alongside phases

  • Mountain views of the Sheep Range from Summit View lots

  • Strip and airport commutes are 25–35 minutes — test your daily route at peak hour
  • Resale buyers compete against builder pricing — new homes are often the better deal
  • Community amenities are still filling in — commercial retail and dining are limited vs. established master plans
  • Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ stretches July through September, like the rest of the valley

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to Park Highlands?

Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to Park Highlands, 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.

Transportation Options

  • RTC Transit

    RTC routes serve the Craig Road and Losee Road corridors bordering the community. Direct Strip service requires a transfer downtown. Buyers should not plan a car-free life in Park Highlands.

  • Cycling & Trails

    The community's ~50 linear acres of internal trails connect neighbors to the Central Park and surrounding open space. Off-road cycling to Floyd Lamb Park is accessible via local streets and multi-use paths.

  • Rideshare

    Lyft and Uber operate in North Las Vegas; airport runs cost roughly $45–$60 from Park Highlands. Response times during peak hours and late nights are typically 5–10 minutes.

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

Quick Answer

How long does it take to close on a new home in Park Highlands?

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

What down payment do you need to buy in Park Highlands?

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

What Do Park Highlands Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in Park Highlands?

Across ZIP codes 89085 and 89086, the median list price runs approximately $400,000 per NREG’s analysis of Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. New construction from five national builders spans $350,000 to $600,000 — KB Home and Lennar entry plans start near $375,000, and Summit View lots reach $600,000. Get pre-approved first; builder incentives often require preferred-lender financing.

Is Park Highlands still building new homes?

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. Quick move-in specs appear and sell fast. Tell us your timeline and we will flag current inventory and upcoming lot releases before you tour model homes.

What builders are in Park Highlands?

Five national builders are active in Park Highlands: 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. Bring your own representation — our agents accompany buyers from the first model-home walk under a written buyer agreement that states our compensation, and we confirm in writing whether the builder will pay some or all of it.

What ZIP codes is Park Highlands in?

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.

Is Park Highlands guard-gated?

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.

What are HOA fees in Park Highlands?

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.

What are property taxes like in Park Highlands?

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%.

What schools serve Park Highlands?

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.

How does Park Highlands compare to Aliante?

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.

What outdoor amenities does Park Highlands offer?

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.

How far is Park Highlands from the Strip?

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.

Is Park Highlands a good investment?

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.

How does Nevada's tax environment compare to California for Park Highlands buyers?

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.

What sub-neighborhoods are in Park Highlands?

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).

Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in Park Highlands?

Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1 real estate team in Nevada with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total volume. Our agents accompany buyers through every Park Highlands model home and builder contract, negotiate incentives and upgrades, and represent sellers competitively against active builder inventory. Same-day response guaranteed.

What down payment do you need to buy in Park Highlands?

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.

How long does it take to close on a new home in Park Highlands?

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.

Should I use the builder's preferred lender or my own?

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.

What Else Do People Ask About 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.

Is Park Highlands in North Las Vegas or Las Vegas?

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.

How many homes are planned for Park Highlands?

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.

Can I use a VA loan to buy in Park Highlands?

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.

What are the best streets in Park Highlands?

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.

Is Park Highlands good for first-time buyers?

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.

How does California compare to Park Highlands for taxes?

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.

Are there resale homes in Park Highlands?

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.

What is the Park Highlands trail system like?

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.
