The eight newest Cliffs-area listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active listing is searchable in our live MLS portal filtered to 89135.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
The Cliffs concentrates activity in the $600K–$1.2M band — the move-up sweet spot of Summerlin South per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Elevated western lots command the strongest premiums, while well-maintained homes in the village core and entry neighborhoods anchor the lower end of the range.
The Cliffs listings in 89135 break into four sub-neighborhoods, two property size tiers, and the price bands below — each link opens our live Las Vegas MLS search pre-filtered to ZIP 89135, with counts refreshed daily from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data.

Living in The Cliffs means elevated desert contemporary homes, Summerlin trail access from your door, and 8 minutes to Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and restaurants. The village sits within the City of Las Vegas — services per the City of Las Vegas — with Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) in the zone and Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west.
The Cliffs is known for its elevated western position at the edge of Summerlin South, mountain-view lots that rival properties costing twice as much, contemporary early-2000s architecture, and direct connectivity to Summerlin's trail network — all at $600K–$1.2M below neighboring guard-gated luxury communities.
Move-up families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High zoning, California relocators seeking mountain-view homes without seven-figure price tags, and outdoor-lifestyle buyers who want trail access to Red Rock Canyon in a master-planned community with $125–$300/mo HOA fees.
Mornings on the Summerlin trail network, Saturday hikes at Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west, weekend errands and dining at Downtown Summerlin 8 minutes away — and evenings watching the Spring Mountains catch the last light from a western-facing backyard. City National Arena and the Las Vegas Ballpark are within the same Downtown Summerlin complex.
The Cliffs occupies Summerlin South's western edge in ZIP 89135, Las Vegas — along the foothills corridor where the valley floor begins to rise toward the Spring Mountains. The village spans 380 acres and 1,800+ homes, developed by Howard Hughes Corporation beginning in 2003.
Quick Answer
Yes — especially for families and outdoor-lifestyle buyers. The Cliffs pairs Summerlin's best school zone (Sig Rogich Middle, 10/10), direct trail access to Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes away, and contemporary 2,200–4,500 sq ft homes at $600K–$1.2M in a Howard Hughes Corporation master plan. The trade-offs are real — resale-only inventory built 2003–2009, a 20-minute Strip commute, and dual-layer HOA dues — but for buyers who value schools, nature access, and western-edge Summerlin character, few Summerlin South villages deliver more per dollar.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city that contains The Cliffs — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the village, community records show roughly 5,000+ residents across 1,800+ households, a median age near 44, and average household income above $160,000.
The Census does not break the village out as its own place, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop. Within The Cliffs, our transaction data shows a strong mix of move-up families targeting CCSD's Sig Rogich Middle zone, professionals relocating from California's high-tax environment, and long-term Summerlin owners upgrading within the master plan.

POPULATION & GROWTH
The Cliffs itself is built out — 1,800+ homes across 380 acres since the plan completed in the late 2000s — with growth happening through renovation and market appreciation rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps expanding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and Summerlin South's western corridor remains among the most in-demand in the valley.
Inside The Cliffs, supply is permanently capped at 1,800+ homes — no new builder sales inside the village — which provides structural support for well-bought positions. Summerlin as a whole continues to expand westward with new villages, but The Cliffs' established character, mature desert landscaping, and trail connectivity are things newer villages physically cannot replicate yet.

New Construction
No production builder operates inside The Cliffs — the village built out 1,800+ homes from 2003 through the late 2000s, and today's market is resale only. Buyers seeking new construction at a comparable Summerlin South price point should look at Summerlin West villages, where Howard Hughes and builders like Toll Brothers are actively selling with monthly incentives.

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
The Cliffs runs on a professional and family economy: executives, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs rather than a single anchor employer. 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 here above $160,000 — roughly double the Clark County median.

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
The Cliffs sits at the junction of West Charleston Boulevard and the 215 Beltway corridor — the west valley's most efficient arterial grid. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Cliffs residents beat that for their typical destinations.

Quick Answer
Most Cliffs purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company — no attorney required. Cash offers can close in 7–14 days at the upper end of the $600K–$1.2M range. Budget 3–5 extra days for dual-layer HOA document review — both the Summerlin master association and The Cliffs village sub-association must deliver resale packages before contingencies expire.
Quick Answer
Most Cliffs buyers put down 5% to 20%. At the $825,000 median, plan roughly $41,250 (5%) to $165,000 (20% to eliminate PMI). The Cliffs price band stays within conventional conforming loan limits for most purchases, keeping financing more straightforward than at ultra-luxury neighbors. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans and active military — a meaningful advantage in a veteran-heavy Las Vegas market. Get lender-verified before touring; Summerlin South sellers expect it.
The Cliffs FAQ — 18 Answers
The Cliffs sits in ZIP code 89135, where the median list price runs about $898,550 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — and that figure is a fair reflection of the village itself, which prices from $600,000 for well-maintained single-family homes to roughly $1.2 million on premium elevated lots with mountain views and upgraded finishes.
No — The Cliffs has no staffed guard gate, though some neighborhoods use key-fob or code-access entries. That is precisely why pricing stays $600K–$1.2M while neighboring guard-gated communities command far more: The Ridges starts around $2M and Red Rock Country Club around $1.2M. If staffed security is non-negotiable, we can show you those; otherwise The Cliffs delivers the western-edge Summerlin location for less.
The Cliffs sits in ZIP code 89135 in Summerlin South, Las Vegas. One ZIP means clean search filters. The area is served by Clark County School District, and Nevada ownership advantages apply — no state income tax, roughly 0.5–0.75% effective property tax, and a 3% annual cap for primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471.
About 10 minutes by car via West Charleston Boulevard — The Cliffs is one of the closest Summerlin villages to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The Summerlin trail network also links the village directly toward Red Rock-area hiking and biking, making the outdoor lifestyle genuinely walkable and not just drivable for residents near the western edge.
The Cliffs zones to Clark County School District campuses: Zel & Mary Lowman Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of the highest-rated middles in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per GreatSchools. Private options include The Meadows School (A+), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), and Faith Lutheran (A), plus charter Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10). Verify exact zoning per address before offering.
Budget $125 to $300 per month — a combination of the Summerlin master association fee and The Cliffs' village sub-association fee. Dues support the trail connectivity, parks, and common-area standards that protect values along Summerlin's western edge. Exact figures vary by neighborhood and product type, so request the full resale package early in your 30–45 day Nevada escrow.
The Ridges is Summerlin's ultra-luxury guard-gated community starting around $2 million; The Cliffs delivers similar western-edge location, mountain proximity, and Red Rock views at $600K–$1.2M without staffed gates. For buyers with budgets under $1.2M, The Cliffs captures most of the lifestyle for roughly half the entry cost — or less. We routinely tour buyers through both in one afternoon so trade-offs are concrete.
Development began in 2003, with homes completed through the late 2000s. The architecture marks Summerlin's shift toward contemporary design — cleaner lines, natural stone accents, and larger windows compared to the Mediterranean-heavy 1990s villages. Two decades of maturity means established desert landscaping plus selective renovation opportunities for buyers who want to modernize.
Nevada's effective property tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% 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. On a $898,550 Cliffs home that means approximately $4,100–$6,200 per year — a fraction of what a comparable California move-up home carries. Zero state income tax multiplies the savings further.
It depends on your priorities. Cliffs Ridge delivers the most elevated western addresses with mountain views and larger lots, starting from $800K. Cliffs Village is the established family core from $700K, with mature landscaping and neighborhood parks. Cliffs Terrace offers move-up floor plans with outdoor living areas from $650K. Cliffs Entry provides the most accessible price points from $600K. Our agents can target the specific blocks matching your view and budget criteria.
The Cliffs is an established village — built primarily from 2003 through the late 2000s — so expect resale inventory rather than active builder sales inside the village. For newer construction at comparable pricing, The Mesa is a nearby Summerlin South village with modern floor plans. Many buyers weigh a renovated Cliffs resale against a newer build nearby. Call (702) 637-1759 and we will price both options side by side.
Nevada's effective property tax rate (roughly 0.5–0.75%) is significantly lower than California's 1.1–1.3% effective rate, and Nevada caps annual increases at 3% for primary residences under NRS 361.471 — California's Prop 13 has a similar cap but resets at sale. On top of that, Nevada levies zero state income tax versus California's top rate of 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board — a combined advantage worth $30,000–$70,000+ annually for most California relocating households.
The Cliffs contains 1,800+ homes across 380 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan record. The village built out primarily through 2003–2009, so today's market is almost entirely resale. Home sizes typically run 2,200 to 4,500 square feet, with elevated lots along the western portion of the village commanding the strongest premiums within the $600K–$1.2M price band.
About 20 minutes via Summerlin Parkway to I-15. Harry Reid International Airport runs approximately 25 minutes via I-215 South. The tradeoff for that commute is the western-edge lifestyle: Downtown Summerlin is 8 minutes away, Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes, and the Summerlin trail network immediately accessible — residents typically make the Strip trip intentionally, not daily.

Most Cliffs buyers put down 5% to 20%. At the $898,550 median, plan roughly $41,250 (5% FHA-adjacent conventional) to $165,000 (20% to avoid PMI). VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans and active military. The price band here stays within conforming loan limits for most purchases, keeping financing simpler than in ultra-luxury Summerlin communities. Get pre-approved before touring — sellers in this village expect clean, lender-verified offers.
Most Cliffs purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company — attorneys are not required. Cash offers can close in 7–14 days, which is fairly common at the upper end of the $600K–$1.2M range. Budget 3–5 extra days for HOA resale package review — The Cliffs' dual-layer association (master Summerlin HOA plus village sub-association) means more documents to clear.
The Cliffs sits in a structural sweet spot: western-edge Summerlin location and Red Rock proximity at $600K–$1.2M, compared to The Ridges ($2M+) and Red Rock Country Club ($1.2M+) immediately adjacent. The 88% owner-occupancy rate supports stable values. Appreciation historically tracks the broader Summerlin master plan — one of the most consistent long-term performers in the Las Vegas Valley per Las Vegas REALTORS data.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
These are the eight queries Cliffs and Summerlin South buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, school data from GreatSchools and CCSD, and community facts from the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan record.
Yes — The Cliffs is one of Summerlin's 20+ master-planned villages, all developed and managed by Howard Hughes Corporation. Summerlin is consistently ranked among the top-selling master-planned communities in the United States, and The Cliffs benefits from the full covenant protections, trail network, and community standards that HHC maintains across the entire master plan.
Sig Rogich Middle School is a Clark County School District public middle school serving grades 6-8, rated 10/10 by GreatSchools — one of the highest-rated public middles in Nevada. It is zoned to The Cliffs address, making the village one of the most sought-after family zip codes in Summerlin South.
About 8 minutes via West Charleston Boulevard — City National Arena is the official practice facility of the Vegas Golden Knights, located at Downtown Summerlin. Public skating sessions and Golden Knights practice opportunities make it one of the most Summerlin-specific amenities for sports-minded residents.
Not truly walkable by pedestrian standards — 8 minutes by car is the honest answer. However, the Summerlin trail network connects The Cliffs to the broader master plan, and some residents bike to Downtown Summerlin on pleasant days. By Las Vegas standards, this is excellent proximity to a major retail and entertainment hub.
Both are Summerlin South villages in similar price ranges (The Cliffs $600K–$1.2M, The Paseos from $550K), with comparable CCSD school zoning and trail connectivity. The Cliffs sits slightly further west with more elevation and closer Red Rock proximity; The Paseos has the namesake linear park. Most buyers touring both end up choosing based on specific street position and home character rather than village-level differences.
The Cliffs does not have a village-specific private pool in the same way guard-gated communities offer club amenities. Summerlin's master plan includes community recreation centers and pools within reach, and many individual Cliffs homes have private pools. The City of Las Vegas operates public aquatic facilities in the broader area.
No — The Cliffs is an established village built from 2003 through the late 2000s with no active builder presence inside. Today's market is entirely resale. Buyers wanting new construction with a comparable Summerlin South location should look at newer western villages or Summerlin West, where Howard Hughes Corporation and builders like Toll Brothers are actively selling.
About 8 minutes via West Charleston Boulevard — Las Vegas Ballpark is located at Downtown Summerlin and is home to the Las Vegas Aviators, Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland A's. It shares the Downtown Summerlin complex with City National Arena, making The Cliffs one of the most convenient addresses for baseball and hockey fans in the valley.
