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.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Living in Crested Canyon at Kestrel means direct access to 150+ miles of Summerlin trails, five minutes to Downtown Summerlin's shops and restaurants, and Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west — all inside Howard Hughes Corporation's award-winning master plan at roughly 3,000 feet elevation in ZIP 89138, served by Nevada's highest-rated public middle school.
Crested Canyon is known for its trail-system connectivity, contemporary desert architecture, and top-rated CCSD schools — especially Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), one of Nevada's highest-rated public campuses. It sits in Kestrel, Summerlin's newest village cluster on the master plan's northern edge, at roughly 3,000 feet elevation near Red Rock Canyon.
Families with school-age children who want public school excellence without private-school tuition; California relocators seeking trail-connected suburban living at a fraction of coastal pricing; professionals who want a twenty-minute Strip commute with genuine outdoor access at the doorstep.
Morning runs on the Paseos Linear Park trail, a ten-minute drive to Red Rock Canyon for a harder hike, groceries and dinner at Downtown Summerlin five minutes south, and evenings back on quiet HOA-maintained streets. Summer heat peaks July–September (105°F+), so early-morning trail time and the air-conditioned Downtown Summerlin scene define the rhythm.
Crested Canyon at Kestrel sits on the northern edge of Summerlin West inside the Kestrel village, Las Vegas, NV 89138 — west of the 215 Beltway, north of West Charleston Boulevard. Roughly 20 miles from the Strip and about 10 minutes from Red Rock Canyon's main entrance.
Quick Answer
Yes — particularly for families and outdoor-focused professionals. Crested Canyon pairs Nevada's highest-rated public middle school (Sig Rogich, 10/10), 150+ miles of Summerlin trails from the door, and Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west. The trade-offs are real — summer heat from July through September and a 20-minute Strip commute — but for buyers who prioritize school quality and trail access in a master-planned setting, few neighborhoods in Las Vegas compete.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city containing Crested Canyon — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside Kestrel's 89138 ZIP, community records show a median age of 38 and average household income above $110,000, skewing toward families with school-age children and California relocators.
The Census does not break Kestrel out as its own place, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop. Within the neighborhood, our closing data shows a consistent mix of professional families choosing Sig Rogich Middle School zoning, California households trading coastal taxes for Summerlin trail access, and move-up buyers stepping from other Summerlin villages into Kestrel's newer construction and elevation.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Summerlin West is one of the fastest-growing corridors in the Las Vegas Valley — Howard Hughes Corporation continues to release new land in the Kestrel cluster, and ZIP 89138 has absorbed thousands of new households since 2015. Las Vegas as a whole has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, with the far-northwest Summerlin corridor outpacing the citywide rate.
Inside Kestrel, growth is controlled by Howard Hughes Corporation's land-release pace — new phases open as prior ones sell through, which prevents oversupply and supports resale values in established neighborhoods like Crested Canyon. The broader 89138 ZIP continues to attract families priced out of coastal California markets, with school-zone quality (Sig Rogich 10/10) serving as a consistent driver.

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.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.

Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.
ECONOMY & JOBS

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and community records put average household income in Kestrel above $110,000 — predominantly professional families, California relocators, and dual-income households.

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
Kestrel sits at the intersection of West Charleston Boulevard and the 215 Beltway — the arterials that connect the northwest Summerlin corridor to the rest of the valley. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Crested Canyon destinations across the west valley beat that comfortably.

Quick Answer
Most Crested Canyon at Kestrel purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash offers can close in 10–14 days. The key variable is HOA document review — request resale packages from both the Summerlin master association and sub-association immediately after acceptance, as statutory delivery windows set the pace.
Quick Answer
Most Crested Canyon buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional financing covers the $700K–$950K price band — on an $820,000 home, plan roughly $41,000 (5%) to $164,000 (20%) down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and the majority of homes here sit at or below the conventional conforming limit.

$600,000–$950,000 is the typical Crested Canyon at Kestrel window; the area median is near $825,300 per Las Vegas REALTORS.

Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for active listings and current comparable sales.
Crested Canyon belongs to Kestrel, one of the newest villages inside the Summerlin master plan developed by Howard Hughes Corporation. Kestrel sits on Summerlin's northern edge in ZIP 89138 at roughly 3,000 feet elevation — five minutes from Downtown Summerlin and ten from the Red Rock Canyon trailheads. Buyers who want new-construction quality at a step below The Ridges typically land here or in Blacktail, Kestrel's immediate neighbor.
No — Crested Canyon is an open-access neighborhood within the Summerlin master plan. It is not guard-gated, though it benefits from the planned street network, HOA-maintained common areas, and the low crime environment of the far-northwest Summerlin corridor. Buyers who specifically want a staffed gate typically look at The Ridges or Red Rock Country Club inside the same master plan.
HOA dues in Crested Canyon run $100–$225 per month, covering both the Summerlin master association and the neighborhood sub-association — common-area landscaping, trail maintenance, community amenities, and master-plan governance. Because each sub-association sets its own budget, confirm the exact figure with a current resale package before writing an offer. Our team pulls those documents for every buyer we represent.
Clark County School District assigns Crested Canyon families to John C. Vanderburg Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of Nevada's top-rated public campuses), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per GreatSchools. Private options include The Meadows School, Bishop Gorman, and Faith Lutheran; Doral Academy Red Rock and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada lead the charter tier. Confirm zoning by specific address before closing.
Roughly 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway and I-15; Harry Reid International Airport runs about 30 minutes on I-215 South. Daily life stays closer: Downtown Summerlin sits about five minutes out, Red Rock Canyon's trailheads about ten, and the Summerlin Hospital Medical Center roughly fifteen. The I-215 Beltway is the arterial most Kestrel commuters use for valley-wide reach.
ZIP code 89138 covers Crested Canyon and the rest of Summerlin's Kestrel village. Homes carry Las Vegas, NV 89138 addresses, fall under the Clark County School District, and sit minutes from both Red Rock Canyon and Downtown Summerlin. Filter your search to 89138 to keep Crested Canyon and comparable Kestrel listings in view, then call our team to tour the standouts.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On an $825,300 Crested Canyon home, that works out to roughly $4,100–$5,740 per year — a fraction of what a similar family home carries in California, where effective rates typically run near 1.1–1.3%.
Crested Canyon shares Kestrel's open-access, trail-laced character with Blacktail and a handful of other sub-neighborhoods. Prices run $700K–$950K in Crested Canyon versus $750K–$1.1M at Blacktail's newest phases. Both sit in ZIP 89138 at elevation near Red Rock Canyon. The practical difference is usually floor plan and lot — our agents can pull side-by-side comparables across Kestrel villages before your first tour.
Summerlin's trail network spans more than 150 miles of paved and natural-surface paths connecting neighborhoods, parks, schools, and shopping centers across the master plan. Crested Canyon at Kestrel connects directly into this network via the Paseos Linear Park and Fox Hill Park trailheads — both within the neighborhood. The trails are maintained by the Summerlin master association and are included in the HOA dues every homeowner pays.
Kestrel-village homes have tracked Summerlin's overall appreciation, which has outpaced the Clark County median over most multi-year windows according to Las Vegas REALTORS data. The structural tailwind is supply discipline: Howard Hughes Corporation controls land release across the master plan, so Summerlin West doesn't overbuild. Buyers planning a 5-year-plus hold in the $700K–$950K band have historically done well — verify current days-on-market and absorption with our team before you write.
The Paseos Linear Park and Fox Hill Park are both within the neighborhood — trails, disc golf, zip lines, and desert gardens. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area's 195,000-acre conservation area is about ten minutes via West Charleston Boulevard; the 13-mile scenic drive and world-class hiking and climbing are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. TPC Summerlin, home of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, is about fifteen minutes east.
No — Nevada levies zero state personal income tax, the primary financial catalyst behind the steady stream of California buyers choosing Summerlin. California's top marginal rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; a household earning $250,000 saves roughly $25,000 per year by moving to Nevada. Combined with the 3% annual property-tax cap under NRS 361.471, total ownership costs in Crested Canyon run far below a comparable California suburb.
Crested Canyon is an established neighborhood — most inventory today is resale rather than brand-new production. However, Howard Hughes Corporation continues to release land in adjacent Kestrel phases, with Toll Brothers, Woodside Homes, and Tri Pointe Homes active in nearby Summerlin West villages. Buyers wanting new construction with a Kestrel address should ask our team which phases are currently selling and what incentives builders are offering this month.
Four things move real money here. First, confirm HOA tiers: master-association plus sub-association dues together run $100–$225 monthly — always pull the full resale package. Second, verify school zoning by exact address. Third, ask about trail-access lots and Red Rock view corridors, which command measurable premiums. Fourth, budget financing correctly: most homes are in conventional territory, but jumbo loans apply above the conforming limit. Call (702) 637-1759 and we will run the numbers.
Most Crested Canyon buyers put down 5–20%. Conventional financing covers the $600K–$950K price band — on an $825,300 home, plan roughly $41,000 (5%) to $164,000 (20%) down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and the majority of homes here sit below the conventional conforming limit. Our team can connect you with lenders who close Summerlin purchases regularly and understand HOA document turnaround timelines.
Budget $100–$225 per month, covering both the Summerlin master association and the Crested Canyon sub-association — common-area landscaping, trail connectivity, community parks, and master-plan governance. Always pull the current resale package (dues, reserve study, assessment history) early in escrow; sub-association dues can vary street by street. Transfer and capital fees at closing are separate and should be priced into your offer math.
Most Crested Canyon purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 10–14 days. The main timing variable is HOA document review — Summerlin master association and sub-association resale packages have statutory delivery windows, so request them immediately after acceptance. Jumbo files rarely apply here, so financing timelines usually run standard.
