Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.

Yellowstone is a Focus Property Group neighborhood inside the 3,500-acre Mountains Edge master plan, with 100-plus park acres, Exploration Peak trail access, and HOA-maintained streets. City of Las Vegas services and zero Nevada state income tax stretch every relocating household's budget beyond what the $494K median suggests.
Yellowstone is known as an accessible Mountains Edge neighborhood -- 2004-2010 single-family construction with desert-contemporary design, Spring Mountain views, and direct access to Exploration Peak Park's summit trail and the master plan's 100-plus-acre park system.
It fits families seeking newer construction between $320K and $500K, professionals who value the I-215 corridor's commute flexibility, investors drawn to the area's 72 percent homeownership rate and steady rents, and California relocators who want mountain views without a luxury price tag.
Mornings begin on Exploration Peak's summit trail or the connected bike paths threading the master plan; Blue Diamond Road handles most errands -- grocery, dining, and services -- without touching a freeway; and the I-215 beltway puts Henderson and the airport within 15 to 20 minutes.
Yellowstone sits inside the Mountains Edge master plan in the southwestern Las Vegas Valley, west of the I-15 corridor and south of Blue Diamond Road. ZIP 89178. Roughly 14 miles from the Strip, 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport.
Quick Answer
Yes -- by southwest Las Vegas measures, it is one of the best value-for-construction-quality neighborhoods in the 89178 ZIP. Yellowstone pairs 2004-2010 single-family homes, genuine Spring Mountain views, and 100-plus acres of parks with a combined HOA of $60 to $150 per month and a price range of $320K to $500K. The honest trade-offs: zoned schools rate 6-7/10 on GreatSchools (charter alternatives rate 8/10), and the Strip commute runs 25 minutes rather than the 20 minutes midvalley addresses offer. Nevada's zero state income tax makes every calculation look better than the sticker suggests.
Source: City of Las Vegas
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas city -- the municipality that contains Mountains Edge -- the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Community records put homeownership inside Mountains Edge near 72 percent, with a median resident age around 34.
The Census does not break Yellowstone out as its own place, so the figures below are Las Vegas citywide -- presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside Mountains Edge, our closing data shows a blend of young families drawn by the newer construction and park system, California relocators attracted by the value-per-square-foot equation, and working professionals who commute via the I-215 corridor to Henderson, the airport employment cluster, and the Strip hospitality jobs.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Mountains Edge was developed primarily between 2004 and 2010, so the plan's residential stock is largely set -- but its parent city, Las Vegas, has added population steadily, and the southwest valley's I-215 corridor continues attracting new retail and employment that supports neighborhood demand. Clark County as a whole has added roughly 230,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts.
Inside Mountains Edge, growth means competition for the existing stock rather than new supply from Yellowstone itself -- the neighborhood built out between 2004 and 2010. That dynamic supports long-run price stability: each new household entering the southwest valley adds demand to a finished neighborhood without diluting it with competing inventory.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Yes -- 198 active listings across ZIP 89178 mean most weekends carry open houses from entry three-bedroom homes through upgraded four- and five-bedroom floor plans with Spring Mountain views.

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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
The Mountains Edge corridor anchors on the southwest valley retail and I-215 logistics base. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro remains historically active, and I-215 puts Yellowstone residents within 15 minutes of Henderson corporate campuses and 20 minutes of the airport employment cluster.

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
Blue Diamond Road handles daily errands without touching the freeway, and the I-215 beltway gives Yellowstone fast access to Henderson, the airport, and the Strip. Mean Las Vegas commutes run near 26 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data -- and from the southwest valley, residents often beat that average for Henderson-direction commutes.

Quick Answer
Most Yellowstone purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies rather than attorneys, keeping the process predictable. Cash buyers can close in 7 to 14 days. Order both the Mountains Edge master-association and Yellowstone sub-association resale packages simultaneously at acceptance -- document collection for the two-layer HOA is the most common delay.
Quick Answer
Most Yellowstone buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. Conventional loans start at 3 percent down; FHA allows 3.5 percent and covers the entire $320K to $500K range without jumbo financing. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans -- a meaningful segment of the southwest Las Vegas buyer pool. On a $460,000 mid-range purchase, plan roughly $23,000 at 5 percent to $92,000 at 20 percent. Entry homes near $320,000 need as little as $11,200 down with FHA. The combined HOA of $60--$150 per month factors into your DTI calculation -- build it into your pre-approval from the start.
Yellowstone at Mountains Edge FAQ — 18 Answers
The 89178 ZIP area -- covering Yellowstone, all of Mountains Edge, and surrounding southwest Las Vegas -- showed a median list price of $508,400 per Las Vegas REALTORS in September 2026. Yellowstone homes trade $320K to $500K, with premiums driven by floor plan size, lot position, mountain views, and 2004-2010 construction condition.
Yes -- Yellowstone is a single-family neighborhood inside Mountains Edge, the 3,500-acre master-planned community in southwest Las Vegas (ZIP 89178) developed primarily by Focus Property Group from 2004 through 2010. Buying in Yellowstone means full access to the master plan's 100-plus-acre park system, the Exploration Peak Park summit trail, connected bike and walking paths, and community recreation facilities. Evaluate the home and the Mountains Edge amenity package it unlocks together when comparing this area to other southwest valley options.
HOA dues in Yellowstone typically run $60 to $150 per month, reflecting a two-layer structure: the Mountains Edge master-association assessment plus the Yellowstone sub-association fee. Those combined dues fund the 100-plus-acre park system, trail network, community landscaping, and shared facilities -- strong value relative to many Las Vegas master plans where dues run $200-plus for comparable amenities. Always pull the current assessment schedule and HOA resale package during escrow, since sub-association dues can vary by phase and are subject to annual adjustment.
Mountains Edge delivers more than 100 acres of parkland accessible from Yellowstone. The flagship is Exploration Peak Park at 9700 S Buffalo Drive -- 30 acres with a distinctive summit trail, amphitheater, playground, sports courts, and panoramic valley views that reward the climb. Mountains Edge Regional Park adds walking trails, sports fields, a dog park, and picnic areas. Miles of connected trail links weave Yellowstone to these parks without touching an arterial road -- a daily lifestyle advantage over most Las Vegas Valley communities.
Homes sold across the 89178 ZIP area in September 2026 took a median of about 26 days from list to accepted offer per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics, on a base of 198 active listings. Well-priced three- and four-bedroom homes in good condition typically draw offers within the first two weekends; homes that need cosmetic updates or carry above-market pricing sit longer. The southwest valley family buyer pool is deep and price-sensitive -- strategy matters more here than in tighter submarkets.
Property taxes in Yellowstone are low by national standards. Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3 percent under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On the $508,400 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $2,500 to $3,100 per year. One important note: homes held by long-term owners often carry abated tax bills -- verify the post-sale assessed-value reset with the Clark County Assessor before finalizing your ownership budget.
Clark County School District serves Yellowstone; the primary zoned campuses are Wright Elementary (K-5, 7/10 GreatSchools), Faiss Middle School (6-8, 6/10), and Sierra Vista High School (9-12, 6/10). Charter options nearby include Doral Academy of Nevada and Pinecrest Academy, both rated 8/10 on GreatSchools. Private choices include Bishop Gorman High School, Mountain View Christian School, and Faith Lutheran Middle and High School. Attendance boundaries can shift as the southwest valley adds residents -- confirm current zoning for any specific address directly with CCSD before you offer.
Yellowstone sits about 25 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip via I-15 North from the Blue Diamond Road interchange. Harry Reid International Airport runs roughly 20 minutes via the I-215/I-15 corridor, Henderson about 15 minutes east on I-215, and Summerlin around 30 minutes northwest. The southwestern location trades a slightly longer Strip commute for genuine Spring Mountain views and 100-plus acres of parks -- test the actual drive at your commute hour before deciding, as I-15 southbound toward the airport can stack at peak times.
Yellowstone at Mountains Edge falls under Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) jurisdiction and is among the safer suburban sections of the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. The community's 2004-2010 construction era means planned streets without through-traffic cut-throughs, neighborhood-watch engagement built into the HOA structure, and owner-heavy demographics that correlate with lower incident rates. As with any Las Vegas area community, check block-level data via LVMPD's public crime mapping tool for the specific streets around any home you are considering.
Nevada charges zero state income tax -- California's top marginal rate is 13.3 percent per the California Franchise Tax Board. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $16,000 per year in state income taxes by choosing Nevada over California. Property taxes in Yellowstone run 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value annually, capped at 3 percent yearly growth under NRS 361.471 -- well below the 1.1 percent California buyers pay on newly purchased properties. For California families comparing $320K-$500K Yellowstone homes to Bay Area or Southern California equivalents, the tax math alone often closes the relocation decision.
Mountains Edge is one of the most amenity-rich master plans in the southwest Las Vegas Valley. Exploration Peak Park's 30-acre campus with its summit trail and amphitheater is the marquee attraction; Mountains Edge Regional Park adds sports fields, a dog park, and walking paths. Trails connect neighborhoods to parks without crossing arterials. Blue Diamond Road's retail corridor -- grocery, dining, and services -- sits minutes from Yellowstone streets, and the I-215 beltway puts Henderson's Galleria and Harry Reid International Airport within 15 to 20 minutes.
Yellowstone itself was built out between 2004 and 2010 -- these are established resale homes, not new construction. The broader Mountains Edge master plan still has active building in select parcels along its southwestern edge, and builders have released new phases in neighboring southwest Las Vegas communities in recent years. Buyers who want new-construction warranties with Mountains Edge proximity should ask our team about current release schedules in the southwest 89178 corridor, which changes quarterly.
Single-family homes in the 89178 ZIP area typically rent for about $2,100 to $2,800 per month per Las Vegas REALTORS rental-market tracking, with three-bedroom floor plans in good condition at the stronger end of the range. Owner-occupancy in Mountains Edge runs near 72 percent, which keeps rental vacancy low and tenant quality high. Short-term rental regulations in the City of Las Vegas are strict -- investors should verify current ordinance requirements before underwriting any nightly-income strategy for a Yellowstone property.
Yellowstone is one of several Focus Property Group neighborhoods inside Mountains Edge, developed in the mid-2000s alongside Arlington Ranch, Beacon Hill, and other plan sections. Distinctions matter primarily for HOA sub-association dues and specific lot positions -- some Yellowstone streets back to trail corridors while others face interior streets. Pricing among Mountains Edge mid-tier neighborhoods clusters tightly between $320K and $500K, making condition, lot premium, and school-zone verification more decisive than the neighborhood name alone.
Four factors move real money in Yellowstone. First, HOA layers: verify both the master-association and sub-association dues, reserves, and CC&Rs in escrow -- the combined $60 to $150 monthly range has variation by phase. Second, age of systems: 2004-2010 construction means HVAC units, water heaters, and roofing are approaching or past their service midpoints -- budget inspection time accordingly. Third, school zones: boundaries shift as the southwest valley grows, so CCSD verification for the exact parcel is non-negotiable. Fourth, lot position: trail-backing and mountain-view lots command meaningful premiums over interior streets.
Most Yellowstone buyers put down 5 to 20 percent. Conventional loans start at 3 percent down; FHA allows 3.5 percent and covers the entire $320K to $500K range without jumbo financing. VA loans allow zero down for eligible veterans -- a significant buyer pool in the southwest Las Vegas Valley. On the $508,400 ZIP-area median, plan $24,700 at 5 percent to $98,890 at 20 percent. The two-layer HOA of $60 to $150 per month factors into your DTI ratio -- build it into your pre-approval from day one.
Yellowstone carries a two-layer HOA structure: the Mountains Edge master-association assessment plus the Yellowstone sub-association fee, typically totaling $60 to $150 per month. Those dues fund 100-plus acres of parks, trails, and master-plan common areas. Variation by phase is real -- some sections run closer to $60, others near $150 -- so always pull the full resale package, including dues, reserves, and any pending special assessments, during your inspection period.

Eight questions Yellowstone buyers actually search -- each answered with data points and dollar figures drawn from the City of Las Vegas services directory, Las Vegas REALTORS MLS statistics, FBI crime data, and GreatSchools school ratings, so every figure is independently verifiable and linked to a named primary source.
Las Vegas. Yellowstone is a neighborhood inside the Mountains Edge master plan within the incorporated City of Las Vegas, ZIP 89178. Services are provided by the City of Las Vegas and LVMPD -- Henderson is about 15 minutes east via I-215.
89178 -- the single ZIP code covering the Mountains Edge master plan and surrounding southwest Las Vegas neighborhoods. MLS statistics at this ZIP level are broader than Yellowstone itself; per-neighborhood figures require local comp analysis.
Focus Property Group developed Yellowstone as part of the Mountains Edge master plan from roughly 2004 through 2010. Focus Property Group is the master developer of the broader 3,500-acre community, which contains multiple named neighborhoods built over the same period.
Yellowstone homes were built between 2004 and 2010 -- making them 16 to 22 years old in 2026. That means HVAC systems, water heaters, and roofing are approaching or past their typical service midpoints; budget diligent inspection coverage before waiving contingencies.
No -- Mountains Edge does not have a golf course. The master plan's recreational anchor is its 100-plus-acre park system, Exploration Peak Park's summit trail, and miles of connected walking and biking paths. Buyers wanting golf proximity should look at Rhodes Ranch in the southwest valley.
By Las Vegas standards, quite well within the master plan: the connected trail network links Yellowstone to Exploration Peak Park and Mountains Edge Regional Park without crossing arterial roads. For commercial errands, Blue Diamond Road requires driving -- like most suburban Las Vegas communities.
About 15 minutes northwest via Blue Diamond Road -- one of the southwest valley's most compelling location advantages. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers 30-plus miles of hiking, world-class climbing, a 13-mile scenic loop, and genuine desert wilderness a short drive from Yellowstone driveways.
The fundamentals are reasonable: a built-out 2004-2010 neighborhood inside a 3,500-acre master plan, 72 percent homeownership limiting competing rental supply, steady $2,100--$2,800 monthly rents, and 100-plus park acres that hold desirability without HOA-funded club amenities. Returns depend on the specific block, lot position, and buy price -- call (702) 637-1759 for a current CMA.
