Sun City Summerlin, a well-established retirement community for people 55+, is nestled up against the Spring Mountains in the Northwest section of Las Vegas. It is the northernmost village of Summerlin, Las Vegas’ largest master-planned community.
The oldest Sun City community in Las Vegas
Sun City Summerlin has four very large and beautiful private community centers for its approximately 9,000 residents, plus 2 large indoor and 3 outdoor pools, a theater, a billiard room, dozens of special interest and activity clubs, fitness centers, tennis courts, bocce courts and city lights views that will take your breath away.
There are three golf courses in Sun City Summerlin which are open to the general public, but residents enjoy special rates. There is also a private, members-only Golf Club available for residents.
Homes with mature landscaping and miles of trails
Architecturally, the inspiration is contemporary Spanish style: pastel single story homes with red tile roofs. Many homes have desert landscaping for ease of upkeep–no need to bring your lawn mower if you move here! As with all Summerlin villages, there are miles of walking trails throughout, ranging from relatively flat in the older part of the community to very steep in newer areas.
Homes ranging in size from about 1000 sq. ft. to over 2500 sq. are available for resale now in Sun City Summerlin and most of them are 2 bedroom homes. There are a few homes that have dens. Some face onto the golf courses and some are along broad streets that wind through the neighborhood and up the hills.
The homes in the lower part of Sun City Summerlin near the Palm Valley golf course are older and smaller. In this areas there are also attached “villas”, essentially they are single-story townhomes. At the top of the community, near the Eagle Crest golf course, are more expensive semi-custom homes.
