KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About Mountain Trails at a Glance?
Mountain Trails pairs 250-plus guard-gated estates priced $1M–$5M+ on 150 acres in The Hills village, Summerlin North, with panoramic views of Red Rock Canyon, the Spring Mountains, and the Las Vegas Strip per Howard Hughes Corporation and Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census. The takeaways below unpack why view-lot premiums and HOA stacking matter most here.
- Guard-gated scarcity: 250-plus homes on 150 acres — the only guard-gated enclave in The Hills village, and the plan is substantially built out.
- Multi-directional views: Red Rock Canyon west, Las Vegas Strip southeast, Sheep Range north — breadth of vista that is rare even in Summerlin's luxury tier.
- Best for: executives, California relocators, and families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High School zoning.
- Tax advantage: Nevada's zero income tax plus the 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 make long-run ownership costs highly predictable.
- Do your homework: HOA stack ($400–$1,000/mo), view-lot premiums ($300K–$700K over non-view), and jumbo financing all deserve early diligence.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is Mountain Trails Safe?
Direct Answer
Yes — by multiple layered design. Mountain Trails pairs City of Las Vegas police coverage with a 24-hour staffed guard gate, security patrols, perimeter walls, and controlled vehicle access — a continuous security stack since 1998. Inside the gates, 250-plus homes on 150 acres stay free of through-traffic; every vehicle has passed a staffed checkpoint.
- Staffed guard gate since 1998Mountain Trails sub-association security
- Roving security inside the perimeterHOA-funded, per the plan record
- City of Las Vegas police jurisdictionMetro coverage outside the gate
- Perimeter walls + controlled accessEvery visitor verified at staffed entry
What Buyers Should Know
Geography does the most work: Mountain Trails has no through-traffic — every vehicle inside passed a staffed gate. The community's elevated terrain on 150 acres keeps it physically separate from the surrounding neighborhood grid, with perimeter walls and patrols adding layers on top of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department coverage of the broader Summerlin North corridor.
The surrounding 89134 ZIP is one of Las Vegas's most established residential corridors; the area's incident profile runs to suburban property matters at rates buyers can verify through FBI UCR-based tools before writing an offer. Summerlin North's owner-heavy demographics and the Hills village's established character contribute to a below-average crime environment by Clark County standards.
For luxury buyers, the practical security picture — staffed entry, patrols, perimeter walls, and a 250-plus-home community where neighbors know each other — is among the strongest in the entire Summerlin master plan, on par with The Ridges and superior to non-staffed gated communities at similar price points.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Mountain Trails Score?
Mountain Trails earns top marks for views, safety, and school quality, with honest trade-offs on HOA carrying costs and the built-out supply that limits options. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating buyer before a first gate-access tour.
Grade A+: Safety
24-hour staffed gate, security patrols, perimeter walls, and City of Las Vegas police coverage — continuous since 1998.
Grade A: Schools
Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) is one of Nevada's highest-rated public schools; Red Rock ES 8/10 and Palo Verde HS 8/10 complete a top-tier CCSD lineup.
Grade B: Cost of Living
Entry near $1M plus $400–$1,000/mo HOA stack is a premium — though zero state income tax and a 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 offset carrying costs meaningfully.
Grade A: Amenities
Hills Park, direct Summerlin trail network access, TPC Summerlin minutes away, and Downtown Summerlin's dining and retail seven minutes east.
Grade A+: Outdoor Access
Direct trail connections to a 150-plus-mile Summerlin network; Red Rock Canyon NCA twelve minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard.
Grade A-: Commute
Seven minutes to Downtown Summerlin via Summerlin Parkway; twenty minutes to the Strip; direct 215 Beltway access for valley-wide reach.

Quick Answer
Is Mountain Trails Summerlin a good place to live?
Yes — if panoramic views, gated privacy, and top-tier school zoning top your list. Mountain Trails pairs a 24-hour staffed gate and 250-plus custom estates on elevated terrain with a school lineup anchored by Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and a location seven minutes from Downtown Summerlin. The trade-offs are real — $400–$1,000 monthly HOA stack, built-out supply, and jumbo financing requirements — but for buyers who value views, security, and Summerlin North's established character, few addresses in the valley compete.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Who Lives in Mountain Trails?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city containing Mountain Trails — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the Mountain Trails gate, the profile inverts sharply: community records show roughly 750-plus residents across 250-plus households, median age near 49, and average household income above $300,000.
The Census does not tabulate the enclave separately, so citywide figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the gates, our closing data shows a mix of senior executives and entrepreneurs, California relocators trading coastal taxes for Nevada's zero income tax, families targeting Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10), and established Summerlin residents who upgraded from the village's non-gated neighborhoods.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Mountain Trails Area Growing?
Mountain Trails itself is deliberately finished — 250-plus homes since the community built out, with growth happening through remodels and custom rebuilds rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and Summerlin North remains among the most in-demand corridors in the metro for established luxury buyers.

250+Mountain Trails homes (built out)
~700,000Las Vegas projected, 2030
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside the gates, growth is structurally capped: 150 acres, 250-plus homes, a 24-hour staffed gate, and the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan all mean the rooftop count is fixed. That scarcity dynamic — fixed supply meeting persistent Summerlin North demand — is the structural foundation for strong long-run appreciation. Turnover is very thin; the community trades only a handful of homes in any quarter.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does Mountain Trails Score for Livability?
Mountain Trails scores highest on views, safety, and school quality: multi-directional panoramas of Red Rock Canyon and the Strip, a 24-hour staffed gate since 1998, and Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) in zone. The honest trade-offs are HOA carrying costs of $400–$1,000 per month and a built-out supply that limits options. Six categories below, benchmarked to Census and CCSD data.

Honest Considerations
- HOA stack of $400–$1,000/month (master + sub-association) is a meaningful carrying cost

- View-lot premiums of $300K–$700K over non-view positions require careful comp judgment
- Jumbo financing required above the conforming limit — need reserves-backed jumbo programs
- Very thin turnover — the right home may appear only once or twice per year in each tier
- Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ stretches July through September, like the rest of the valley

WHY MOUNTAIN TRAILS
Why Does Mountain Trails Stand Apart From Its Peers?
From the panoramic view lots to the 10/10 school zoning, Mountain Trails occupies a position no other Summerlin North community fills.

New Construction
Who Builds New Homes in and Around Mountain Trails?
No production builder operates inside Mountain Trails — the community dates to 1998 and is substantially built out with only occasional custom-rebuild or vacant-lot opportunities surfacing through resale. Buyers who want new construction with a similar guard-gated luxury profile typically look at active Summerlin West villages. Incentives change monthly — verify current offers before you write anything.

Quick Answer
What are HOA fees in Mountain Trails Summerlin?
Budget $400 to $1,000 per month — a two-part stack combining the Summerlin master-association fee with the Mountain Trails sub-association assessment. The master fee covers Summerlin's trail network, parks, and community events; the sub-association covers guard gate staffing, security patrols, and community-level maintenance. Dues vary by property, so request the full resale package early in escrow — Nevada's standard 30-to-45-day close gives you the time to review dues, the reserve study, and any assessment history before you commit.
Moving to Mountain Trails
Should I Move to Mountain Trails Summerlin?
Households from Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Bay Area are choosing Mountain Trails for a simple reason: guard-gated estates with panoramic mountain and Strip views start at $1 million — twenty minutes from the Strip. California's top income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Mountain Trails
The tax math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Mountain Trails adds what coastal gated communities can't match at the price: panoramic views of Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains, a 24-hour staffed guard gate, and an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences under NRS 361.471.
At a $2 million budget, gated estate living with mountain views in coastal California starts somewhere north of $5 million. That same budget in Mountain Trails secures a custom Mediterranean or contemporary estate behind a 24-hour staffed gate — with Red Rock Canyon views to the west and Strip skyline views to the southeast — seven minutes from Downtown Summerlin and twenty from the resort corridor.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the 89134 ZIP area median is broadly representative of Summerlin North pricing, with Mountain Trails itself ranging $1M–$5M+ inside the gate. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value. The Howard Hughes Corporation trail system connects Mountain Trails directly to a 150-plus-mile network leading to Red Rock Canyon, managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Mountain Trails runs on a professional economy: executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and established business owners set the demographic profile, with average household income above $300,000 per community records. The Downtown Summerlin corporate and retail corridor sits seven minutes east via Summerlin Parkway, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center about ten minutes away, and the Strip's resort employment core twenty minutes southeast — a commute radius that works for virtually every professional lifestyle in the valley.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Mountain Trails vs. Los Angeles
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration fees. The category that flips hardest is the one that matters here: guard-gated estate living with mountain views that starts at $1 million in Mountain Trails starts at $4 million-plus behind comparable California gates.
| Metric | Mountain Trails, NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Guard-Gated Estate Entry | ~$1M (Mountain Trails) | $4M+ (gated Westside) |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.75% | ~1.0%–1.25% |
| Annual Tax Cap (primary home) | 3% under NRS 361.471 | No comparable cap |
| Airport Commute | ~30 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (LAX) |
Figures are approximate, for illustration. Contact our team for current market data.
Mountain Trails Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Executive leases inside the gate are extremely scarce — 93% of households own per community records, and with only 250-plus homes total, rental listings appear only a few times per year. When they do surface, prices run $6,000–$12,000 per month depending on size and view. Short-term rentals are tightly restricted by the City of Las Vegas and the Mountain Trails CC&Rs — never underwrite vacation-rental income here. Most buyers purchase for long-hold scarcity appreciation, not yield.

Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to Mountain Trails in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Mountain Trails buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your tier and set a realistic budget
Decide which Mountain Trails you're buying: $1M entry semi-customs in Classic, $1.5M–$3M in Estates, or $3M+ custom summit homes. View orientation (Red Rock Canyon west vs. Strip southeast) adds $300K–$700K to comparable floor plans — build that into your ceiling.
Get pre-approved for jumbo financing
Every tier above the conforming loan limit needs jumbo financing with reserves. Get pre-approved by a jumbo-experienced Las Vegas lender before your first gate-access showing — Mountain Trails sellers verify financing before accepting offers.
Hire a Mountain Trails specialist
With 250-plus homes and wide custom variation, comps require gate-interior data — view premiums, elevation, lot orientation, and finish level all move price meaningfully. Work with an agent who tracks every tier inside the gates.
Tour in person or virtually
Showings need gate clearance, so plan ahead — we coordinate access with same-day notice in most cases. Walk shortlisted homes at different times of day to judge view sightlines; virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers.
Write and negotiate the offer
Cash is common at the $2M+ estate tier; financed buyers compete with clean terms and jumbo-vetted pre-approvals. Ask us where each seller actually stands on price before you write.
Inspection and HOA document review
Order the resale package early: current dues, reserve study, assessment history, CC&Rs. Review the HOA stack (master + sub) carefully — total monthly carrying cost, not just list price, is what determines your real budget.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Jumbo appraisals sometimes need extra time — plan for 45 days if financing above $1.5M.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register gate transponders with the association, then handle the Nevada DMV — driver's license within 30 days of residency, vehicle registration within 60.
ECONOMY & JOBS
What Drives the Mountain Trails Economy?
Mountain Trails runs on a professional economy: senior executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and established business owners with average household income above $300,000 per community records. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and the Summerlin North corridor around Mountain Trails houses the valley's most concentrated executive residential base.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in Mountain Trails right now?

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a $1.5M Mountain Trails estate for five years nets out substantially cheaper than leasing once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $575,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter walks away with none. Mountain Trails' scarcity-supported appreciation above the modeled 3% widens the gap further.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a Mountain Trails home?
Most Mountain Trails purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers — common at the $2M+ estate tier — close in 10–14 days. Jumbo files above $1.5 million sometimes need extra appraisal time given scarce gate-interior comparables, so plan 45 days. HOA document review adds a few days regardless.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Mountain Trails?
Most Mountain Trails buyers put down 20% to 25%. Every tier above the conforming loan limit requires jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of reserves. On a $1.5 million purchase that means $300,000–$375,000 down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans but require a VA-approved jumbo lender and a property that meets VA standards. Get pre-approved by a jumbo-experienced Las Vegas lender before your first gate-cleared showing.
Mountain Trails FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Mountain Trails Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the price range for homes in Mountain Trails Summerlin?
Mountain Trails homes span roughly $1 million for semi-custom residences to more than $5 million for full-custom estates on the highest elevation lots — a range confirmed by $512,500 area data and the community plan record. Sizes run 3,000 to 7,500-plus square feet across 250-plus homes on 150 acres. The widest premiums attach to multi-directional view lots; our team pulls recent gate-interior closings before you offer.
Is Mountain Trails guard-gated?
Yes — Mountain Trails operates a 24-hour staffed guard gate with security patrols and perimeter walls, and it is the only guard-gated enclave within The Hills village of Summerlin North. Established in 1998, the community pairs that security layer with mature landscaping and a settled neighborhood character that takes decades to earn. Gate access for showings is coordinated by your agent in advance; we handle that for every tour.
What village is Mountain Trails in, and how does that affect location?
Mountain Trails anchors The Hills village in the Summerlin North Association — the village's premier and only guard-gated enclave. That positions Downtown Summerlin about seven minutes away via Summerlin Parkway, Red Rock Canyon about twelve, and the Strip roughly twenty. Buyers comparing Summerlin North villages should weigh The Hills' maturity against newer villages farther west before deciding.
What views do Mountain Trails homes have?
Multi-directional views are the community's signature: Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains to the west, the Las Vegas Strip and valley floor to the southeast, and the Sheep Range to the north. That breadth is rare even among Summerlin's luxury communities and is the primary reason comparable view lots command premiums of $300,000 to $700,000 over non-view positions. Visit shortlisted homes at different hours to judge sightlines yourself.
What are HOA fees in Mountain Trails?
Budget $400 to $1,000 per month, combining the Summerlin master-association fee with the Mountain Trails sub-association assessment for guard gate staffing, security patrols, and community maintenance. Dues vary by property, so request the resale package early in escrow — Nevada's standard 30-to-45-day close gives you adequate review time. We benchmark these fees against comparable gated enclaves to make sure you're not surprised.
What schools serve Mountain Trails?
Zoning covers Red Rock Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of the highest-rated middle schools in Nevada), and Palo Verde High School (8/10). Private options include The Meadows School (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+); Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10) leads the charters. Verify current CCSD boundaries at the parcel level before you close — boundary adjustments do happen.
How does Mountain Trails compare to The Ridges Summerlin?
The Ridges ($2M–$20M+) is Summerlin's ultra-luxury flagship built around Bear's Best golf; Mountain Trails ($1M–$5M+) delivers guard-gated luxury at a lower entry price with comparable multi-directional views, 1998-vintage established character, and the same strong Summerlin North school zoning. Buyers who prioritize views and security over the marquee address find Mountain Trails the sharper value play — we tour both to help you feel the difference.
What is the property tax situation for Mountain Trails homeowners?
Nevada's effective rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% 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 a $1.5 million Mountain Trails home that means approximately $7,500–$11,250 per year — a fraction of comparable gated estates in coastal California. Zero state income tax reinforces the carrying-cost advantage for relocating households.
How does Nevada's tax climate compare to California for Mountain Trails buyers?
California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $500,000 saves roughly $51,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Pair that with Mountain Trails' roughly 0.5–0.75% effective property-tax rate (capped at 3% annual growth) versus California's 1.0–1.25% base, and the ownership math for a $1.5M–$3M luxury home strongly favors Nevada.
What security features exist beyond the guard gate?
Beyond 24-hour staffed entry, Mountain Trails includes controlled vehicle access, security patrols within the perimeter, and perimeter walls. With 250-plus homes across 150 acres, density stays low enough for meaningful patrol coverage. Guard-gated communities commonly add entry-point cameras and emergency-response coordination — confirm exact provisions in the resale package. The security stack has been in continuous operation since 1998, per the community plan record.
Are custom lot or teardown opportunities available in Mountain Trails?
Mountain Trails dates to 1998 and is substantially built out, so vacant custom lots are scarce and surface only through resale. Howard Hughes Corporation's architectural guidelines govern any new construction inside the gate. Nevada Real Estate Group monitors lot and teardown opportunities across Summerlin's guard-gated communities — share your build brief and we alert you when something fits, here or in a comparable enclave.
How does Mountain Trails' resale market perform through cycles?
Strong, with structural support that most communities lack. Guard-gated luxury in established Summerlin North has outperformed the broader Las Vegas market through multiple cycles per Las Vegas REALTORS data. Mountain Trails' fixed supply of 250-plus homes creates a permanent scarcity premium; Nevada's zero income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 keep long-run ownership costs predictable. Ask for gate-interior comparable sales before pricing a purchase or listing.
What does the Summerlin trail network access look like from Mountain Trails?
Direct. The Summerlin trail system threads through The Hills village and connects Mountain Trails residents to a 150-plus-mile network managed by Howard Hughes Corporation and Clark County that ultimately links to Red Rock Canyon's trailheads twelve minutes west. Morning runs, cycling, and dog walks on paved multi-use paths with unobstructed desert and mountain views — a lifestyle asset that newer Summerlin villages farther from the mountains cannot replicate.
What should I know before buying in Mountain Trails?
Four things move real money here. First, view-lot premiums: elevation and orientation add $300,000 to $700,000 over non-view positions — visit at multiple times of day. Second, HOA stack: budget $400–$1,000/month combining master and sub-association. Third, jumbo financing: homes above the conforming loan limit need reserves-backed jumbo programs. Fourth, comps: 250-plus homes with wide custom variation demands judgment — call (702) 637-1759 and we pull gate-interior closings before you write.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in Mountain Trails?
Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1 real estate team in Nevada with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total sales volume. We coordinate gate access for every showing, track gate-interior comps that the public MLS often misses, and handle out-of-state relocation from virtual tours through closing. Our Summerlin specialists know Mountain Trails' view-premium micro-market better than any other team in the valley.
What down payment is needed to buy in Mountain Trails?
Most Mountain Trails buyers put down 20% to 25%. Homes above the conforming loan limit require jumbo financing, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six to twelve months of reserves. On a $1.5 million purchase that means $300,000–$375,000 down. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans but require a VA-approved jumbo lender. Get pre-approved by a jumbo-experienced lender before your first gate-access showing — sellers here verify financing before accepting offers.
How long does it take to close on a Mountain Trails home?
Most purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers, common at the $2M+ custom-estate tier, can close in 10–14 days. Jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time because true gate-interior comparables are scarce — plan for 45 days if financing over $1.5 million. HOA document review (resale package, reserve study, CC&Rs) adds a few days regardless of how you're paying.
What is the rental market like in Mountain Trails?
Extremely thin by design. The community's 93% ownership rate means rental listings surface only a few times per year. When they appear, executive leases run $6,000–$12,000 per month depending on size and view. Short-term rentals are heavily restricted by the City of Las Vegas and the association CC&Rs — never underwrite vacation-rental income on a Mountain Trails purchase. Most investors here buy for long-hold scarcity appreciation, not yield.

What Else Do People Ask About Mountain Trails Summerlin?
The eight questions Mountain Trails buyers ask most — answered with verifiable specifics: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, tax law from Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471, school ratings from GreatSchools, and community facts from the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record. Every figure is sourced.
Is Mountain Trails part of Summerlin?
Yes — Mountain Trails is the guard-gated enclave within The Hills village, part of the Summerlin North Association in the Howard Hughes Corporation 22,500-acre Summerlin master plan. It sits in Las Vegas (ZIP 89134), not the incorporated City of Summerlin.
How does Mountain Trails compare to The Ridges?
The Ridges ($2M–$20M+) is Summerlin's ultra-luxury flagship with Bear's Best golf; Mountain Trails ($1M–$5M+) delivers guard-gated luxury at a lower entry with comparable multi-directional views and the same Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) zoning. Buyers who prioritize value-per-view over the marquee address find Mountain Trails the sharper proposition.
What ZIP code is Mountain Trails in?
ZIP code 89134, in the Summerlin North corridor of Las Vegas. The community spans 150 acres within The Hills village, with pricing from $1 million to over $5 million. Use 89134 for insurance, commute, and school research, and confirm parcel-level details through the resale package during Nevada's standard 30-45 day escrow.
What is the school zoning for Mountain Trails?
Red Rock Elementary (8/10), Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 — one of Nevada's highest-rated public schools), and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per Clark County School District zoning. Always verify at the parcel level before you close — CCSD boundary adjustments do happen.
How many homes are in Mountain Trails?
Approximately 250-plus across 150 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record — custom and semi-custom single-family estates from 3,000 to 7,500-plus square feet. The community is substantially built out, making that number the permanent supply cap.
Can you visit Mountain Trails without an agent?
No — it is a guard-gated community with 24-hour staffed entry, and every visitor is verified. Buyers tour with a licensed agent who arranges gate clearance in advance; call (702) 637-1759 and we typically coordinate same-day access for qualified buyers.
Why do Mountain Trails homes cost so much more for view lots?
Multi-directional view exposure — Red Rock Canyon west, Strip southeast, Sheep Range north — is structurally irreplaceable on elevated terrain. View-lot premiums of $300,000 to $700,000 over comparable non-view positions reflect permanent scarcity: once the elevated lots are built, no new ones can be created.
Is Mountain Trails good for families?
Exceptionally so. Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) is one of Nevada's highest-rated public middle schools; Red Rock Elementary (8/10) and Palo Verde High (8/10) complete a top-tier CCSD lineup. Direct Summerlin trail access and Hills Park nearby round out the family appeal inside gated streets with no through-traffic.

Where Does This Mountain Trails Data Come From?
Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, and we refresh these numbers monthly.
