Custom alerts by price, beds, and lot orientation — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. With new Kestrel phases releasing periodically and resale inventory thin in this school zone, the right Vireo home may be available briefly; alert subscribers see it within hours.
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.

Vireo at Kestrel sits at ~3,000 ft on Summerlin's northern edge — Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west, Downtown Summerlin five minutes east. Services from the City of Las Vegas; Sig Rogich MS (10/10) is the zoned middle, and 150-plus trail miles connect the neighborhood to parks and shops.
Vireo is known for its desert-contemporary single-family architecture, the 10/10-rated Sig Rogich Middle School zone, and the Kestrel village setting on the northern edge of Summerlin West — delivering Summerlin-brand living at attainable $620K–$880K pricing.
Families chasing Sig Rogich Middle School's 10/10 rating, California relocators seeking a no-income-tax alternative with Red Rock Canyon views, and professionals who want a quiet HOA community with immediate Summerlin Parkway access to the Strip corridor.
Mornings on the Summerlin trail network, five minutes to Downtown Summerlin for groceries or dinner, ten minutes to the Red Rock Canyon scenic loop for a weekend hike, and twenty minutes to the Strip — all from a single-family home with mountain-edge tranquility.
Vireo at Kestrel sits on the northern edge of Summerlin West in Las Vegas, ZIP 89138, adjacent to the Red Rock Canyon escarpment. The neighborhood is within the Kestrel village of the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan, approximately 20 miles northwest of the Las Vegas Strip.
Quick Answer
Yes — especially for families and California relocators. Vireo delivers a 10/10 middle school zone, Red Rock Canyon ten minutes west, and the full Summerlin amenity network at $620K–$880K without a staffed-gate premium. The trade-offs are real — summer heat, a twenty-minute Strip commute, and no guard-gate security — but for buyers who value school quality and outdoor access over urban proximity, the Kestrel village address is hard to beat at this price point in the Las Vegas Valley.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city that contains Vireo at Kestrel — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Within ZIP 89138, the Kestrel village skews toward upper-middle professional households drawn by the Sig Rogich school zone, with estimated median household incomes near $120,000–$150,000.
The Census does not tabulate Vireo as its own place, so citywide figures are the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Our closing data shows a mix of young professional families targeting the Sig Rogich MS boundary, California relocators escaping the 13.3% state income tax, and empty-nesters downsizing into a lower-maintenance Summerlin lifestyle without moving to a high-rise.

POPULATION & GROWTH
The Kestrel village is among the newest sections of Summerlin West, and Howard Hughes Corporation continues releasing new phases nearby. Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and ZIP 89138 remains one of the most in-demand school-zone corridors in the valley.
Vireo's growth tracks two curves simultaneously: the macro Las Vegas expansion that brings new employers, residents, and amenity investment to the metro, and the micro Kestrel buildout as Howard Hughes Corporation adds phases to the newest Summerlin village. Buyers entering now are on the ground floor of a still-growing master plan with an already-established infrastructure.

ACTIVE MARKET
Market Competitiveness
The Summerlin ZIP 89138 corridor is a moderately competitive market — the Sig Rogich school zone and Red Rock access sustain steady demand from families and California relocators, while the higher price point ($620K–$880K) limits buyer pool compared to sub-$550K Summerlin areas. Well-priced Vireo homes with mountain views move briskly; overpriced listings sit longer.
Vireo at Kestrel isn't one-size-fits-all — it's a school-zone community that draws specific buyer profiles who value education quality, outdoor access, and the Summerlin master-plan experience over urban proximity and guard-gate prestige. Five profiles below match lifestyles to the neighborhood, followed by our honest pros and trade-offs.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES

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.

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
Summerlin Parkway and West Charleston Boulevard are the two primary arteries from Kestrel, connecting to I-215 and I-15 within minutes. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — Vireo drivers typically beat that on Strip runs via the Parkway and come in at or just above it for airport runs.

Quick Answer
Most Vireo resale purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash closes in 10–14 days. New-construction Kestrel contracts run 6–12 months from signing. HOA document review adds roughly a week — order the resale package early so it does not push your escrow past the target date.
Quick Answer
Most Vireo buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional financing covers homes up to the 2026 conforming loan limit (~$766,550); on a $700,000 purchase that means roughly $35,000 (5%) to $140,000 (20%). VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans — a significant benefit given the Summerlin buyer mix. FHA works at 3.5% down but requires mortgage insurance; run a lender comparison because the long-run cost difference at these price points is real. Homes priced above the conforming limit need jumbo financing with higher reserves.
Vireo at Kestrel FAQ — 18 Answers
Homes in Vireo at Kestrel are currently priced from roughly $620,000 to $880,000 per $835,000 area data from Las Vegas REALTORS, with the sweet spot in the $680K–$790K range for a 2,000–2,800 sq ft resale. The neighborhood sits in ZIP 89138 on the northern edge of Summerlin West, where Red Rock Canyon views add a notable premium above street-facing lots. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for current Vireo comps before you offer or list.
Vireo is part of the Kestrel village within the award-winning Summerlin master plan by Howard Hughes Corporation. Kestrel is among the newest Summerlin villages, positioned on the northern edge of Summerlin West near the Red Rock escarpment — residents enjoy 150-plus miles of Summerlin trails, community parks, and Downtown Summerlin about five minutes away.
Vireo at Kestrel sits in ZIP code 89138 — the Kestrel village address within Summerlin, Las Vegas. From 89138, plan roughly twenty minutes to the Strip via Summerlin Parkway to I-15 and thirty minutes to Harry Reid International Airport via I-215 South. Setting your listing alerts to 89138 plus the neighborhood name ensures new Vireo inventory reaches you the same day it lists.
No — Vireo at Kestrel is an open community with HOA-maintained common areas rather than a staffed gate. That makes it one of the more attainable entries into the Kestrel village, with HOA fees of $85–$200 per month covering the Summerlin master association plus sub-association dues. Buyers wanting guard-gated within Summerlin typically compare The Ridges or Red Rock Country Club, which both start above $1.2 million.
HOA dues in Vireo run $85–$200 per month layered as the Summerlin master association fee plus sub-association dues for common-area landscaping and amenity upkeep. Paired with Nevada's effective property tax of roughly 0.5–0.75% and the 3% annual cap on primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, monthly carrying costs stay predictable. Always order the resale package to confirm current dues and reserves before committing.
Vireo families are zoned to Clark County School District campuses: John C. Vanderburg Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of the highest-rated public middles in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per GreatSchools. The Meadows School, Bishop Gorman High School, and Faith Lutheran anchor the private options nearby. Boundaries shift; verify the current CCSD assignment for any specific address before buying.
About twenty minutes. The standard route from Vireo runs Summerlin Parkway to I-15 south to the resort corridor, with Harry Reid International Airport roughly thirty minutes via I-215. In daily life, Downtown Summerlin is five minutes and Red Rock Canyon is ten — that balance of resort access without resort traffic is a primary reason buyers choose Kestrel over more central Las Vegas addresses.
Kestrel's production builders include Lennar, Tri Pointe Homes, and Century Communities — all active in the Summerlin West expansion zone. Lennar brings its Wi-Fi CERTIFIED smart-home package; Tri Pointe leads on design-forward contemporary architecture; Century Communities offers the sharpest entry pricing in the village. Current inventory is primarily resale, but new phases continue to open in adjacent Kestrel neighborhoods as Howard Hughes Corporation continues building out.
The math is decisive: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board, while Nevada levies none. A household earning $300,000 saves roughly $30,000 annually in state income taxes alone. Pair that with Nevada's effective property-tax rate of 0.5–0.75% versus California's 1.0–1.2%, and the Vireo carrying cost is substantially lower even though the purchase price may be similar to some California markets.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits ten minutes west — 197,000 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management with the 13-mile scenic loop, world-class hiking, and sport climbing. Within the neighborhood, Fox Hill Park's adventure playground and zip lines plus The Paseos linear park connect into Summerlin's 150-plus mile trail network. TPC Summerlin and Las Vegas National Golf Club are both under twenty minutes via Summerlin Parkway.
Downtown Summerlin is a 400-acre open-air retail and entertainment district anchored by over 125 shops and restaurants, City National Arena (home of the Vegas Golden Knights practice facility), and the Las Vegas Ballpark — about five minutes from Vireo via West Charleston Boulevard. According to Howard Hughes Corporation, it is the retail and cultural spine of the entire Summerlin master plan and serves as the social center for Kestrel village residents.
Vireo is a HOA-maintained community in Summerlin — one of the valley's most consistently safe residential corridors. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department serves the area, and Summerlin's planned street grid limits cut-through traffic in residential sections. Benchmark the area through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, which lets you compare Clark County's rate against national and Nevada averages. Our agents can share neighborhood-level context during any showing.
Vireo itself is substantially built out, but Howard Hughes Corporation continues releasing new Kestrel-village phases in adjacent neighborhoods — Blacktail at Kestrel and nearby sections are actively delivering homes in 2026. Buyers who want brand-new construction in the same village should also look at those neighboring communities; our agents track every Kestrel phase release and can alert you the moment a new section opens for purchase.
Four factors move the most money here. First, lot orientation: Red Rock Canyon-facing rear lots command a $30K–$60K premium. Second, HOA layers: confirm master and sub-association dues separately, plus any capital reserve level. Third, school verification: Sig Rogich MS is the 10/10 anchor — confirm the CCSD boundary for any specific address. Fourth, comparable selection: the Kestrel village is still building out, so call (702) 637-1759 and we'll pull the right comps before you write.
Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group has represented buyers and sellers throughout the Kestrel village and the broader Summerlin master plan for years. Call (702) 637-1759, and a Summerlin specialist will walk you through current Vireo inventory, lot premiums, HOA layers, and builder incentives on adjacent new phases. Our team's 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in volume make us Nevada's #1 real estate team.
Most Vireo buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional financing covers homes up to the conforming loan limit; at a $835,000 purchase that means roughly $35,000 (5%) to $140,000 (20%). VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans — a meaningful benefit given the Summerlin buyer mix. FHA works at 3.5% down but requires mortgage insurance; run a side-by-side comparison with your lender before choosing a program, as the long-run cost difference at these price points is material.
Budget $85–$200 per month layered as the Summerlin master association fee plus Vireo sub-association dues. The master association funds the trail network, community parks, and master-plan maintenance; the sub-association covers neighborhood common areas. Always pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve study, and any assessment history — early in escrow so carrying-cost math is complete before you commit.
Most Vireo resale purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 10–14 days. New-construction contracts in adjacent Kestrel phases run 6–12 months from contract to close depending on build stage. The HOA transfer process adds a week to conventional timelines — order the resale disclosure package early so document review does not push your escrow past the target date.

Yes — Vireo at Kestrel is within the Kestrel village of the Summerlin master plan in Las Vegas, ZIP 89138. Summerlin is developed by Howard Hughes Corporation across 22,500+ acres on the northwest side of the Las Vegas Valley.
Sig Rogich Middle School is the standout — rated 10/10 by GreatSchools, it is the zoned public middle school for Vireo and one of Nevada's highest-rated public middles. Vanderburg ES (8/10) and Palo Verde HS (8/10) complete a strong public track.
No — Vireo is an open HOA community with dues of $85–$200/mo covering master-plan and sub-association fees. Buyers who specifically want a staffed gate in Summerlin typically compare The Ridges (from $2M) or Red Rock Country Club (from $1.2M).
Lennar, Tri Pointe Homes, and Century Communities are the primary builders active in the Kestrel village. Howard Hughes Corporation continues releasing adjacent phases — contact our team at (702) 637-1759 for current builder availability and upcoming phase releases.
About ten minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard. The 13-mile scenic loop, dozens of hiking trails, world-class sport climbing, and spring wildflowers are all accessible within the same drive time — making Vireo one of the closest livable communities to Red Rock in the Las Vegas Valley.
Vireo pays a layered HOA: the Summerlin master association (funding trails, parks, and master-plan maintenance) plus a Vireo sub-association for neighborhood common areas — totaling $85–$200 per month. Always order the resale package to confirm current dues and reserve levels before you close.
Vireo itself is substantially built out, but it is within the Kestrel village — one of Summerlin's newest additions, with Howard Hughes Corporation actively releasing adjacent phases. Buyers can find both established resale homes in Vireo and brand-new construction in neighboring Kestrel neighborhoods.
About 30–35 minutes via US-95 east. The more relevant daily destination for most Vireo residents is Downtown Summerlin, just five minutes away — 125+ shops, restaurants, City National Arena, and the Las Vegas Ballpark in the Howard Hughes master plan.

Every statistic is sourced from a primary or government dataset, refreshed monthly. Because Vireo is a neighborhood rather than a Census place, we present ZIP-area (89138) figures as benchmarks — not neighborhood-only claims — and omit block-level medians that small samples cannot support. Follow any link to verify.
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).
