KEY TAKEAWAYS

What Should You Know About The Cliffs, Summerlin at a Glance?

The Cliffs pairs 1,800+ move-up single-family homes priced $600K–$1.2M with an 89135 ZIP median of $825,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS, 38 median days on market, and Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census. The five takeaways below capture the village's defining advantages and honest trade-offs.

  • The location: one of Summerlin South's westernmost villages — 8 minutes to Downtown Summerlin, 10 minutes to Red Rock Canyon, connected to Summerlin's 200+ mile trail network.
  • The price sweet spot: $600K–$1.2M buys 2,200–4,500 sq ft of contemporary architecture in a Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, well below neighboring guard-gated luxury communities.
  • Best for: move-up families targeting Sig Rogich Middle (10/10) and Palo Verde High (8/10), California relocators, and professionals who want outdoor lifestyle without a 30-minute commute to everything.
  • School excellence: Sig Rogich Middle School is one of the highest-rated middles in Nevada; Palo Verde High anchors the public zone, with The Meadows School (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+) nearby.
  • Do your homework: dual-layer HOA ($125–$300/mo), resale-only inventory (built 2003–2009), and elevated western lots command meaningful premiums — target the right streets with local expertise.

SAFETY & CRIME

Is The Cliffs, Summerlin Safe?

Direct Answer

Yes — The Cliffs benefits from Summerlin's established family character and City of Las Vegas police coverage (LVMPD), with Clark County School District's top-rated campus nearby reinforcing a community of owner-occupied families. Benchmark the surrounding area through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data — Summerlin South's 89135 ZIP runs well below Las Vegas citywide crime indices.

  • City of Las Vegas police jurisdictionSummerlin South patrol coverage
  • Owner-occupied householdsCommunity plan record — high ownership correlates with neighborhood stability
  • School quality (Sig Rogich 10/10)High school quality correlates with stable family neighborhoods
  • Crime rate vs Las Vegas citywideSummerlin South 89135 per FBI UCR benchmarks

What Buyers Should Know

The Cliffs benefits from Summerlin's family-oriented character: 88% owner-occupancy, a neighborhood of professionals and families with children in CCSD's top-rated schools, and proximity to City of Las Vegas services. The western-edge location means limited through-traffic from major arterials, and Summerlin Parkway provides easy access without routing commercial traffic through the village.

Within the 89135 ZIP, the profile is established suburban — incidents run to property matters typical of any large residential area, rather than the higher crime indices seen in Las Vegas's urban core. Buyers should verify current statistics through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting tools for any specific street before writing an offer.

For families with children, the neighborhood ecosystem reinforces safety: Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) means the block-level community skews heavily toward engaged parent households — consistently one of the stronger predictors of neighborhood safety and stability in residential real estate.

Living In

What's It Like Living in The Cliffs, Summerlin?


The Answer

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.

What is The Cliffs known for?

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.

Who should live in The Cliffs?

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.

What is daily life like?

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.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD

How Does The Cliffs, Summerlin Score?

The Cliffs earns top marks for schools, outdoor access, and value-per-dollar in a Howard Hughes Corporation master plan — with honest trade-offs on inventory (resale only) and the 20-minute Strip commute. Below is our category-by-category report card, the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating buyer before scheduling Cliffs tours.

  • Grade A: Schools

    Sig Rogich Middle (10/10) anchors one of Nevada's strongest school zones; Palo Verde High (8/10) and private options The Meadows (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+) add depth.

  • Grade A: Outdoor Access

    Summerlin trail network from the door, Red Rock Canyon 10 minutes west, TPC Las Vegas golf nearby, and 300 days of sunshine annually.

  • Grade B+: Location

    8 minutes to Downtown Summerlin, 10 to Red Rock Canyon, 20 to the Strip — western-edge lifestyle without remote-enclave commutes.

  • Grade B+: Value

    $600K–$1.2M for contemporary elevated homes with mountain views and Summerlin master plan amenities, well below The Ridges and Red Rock CC pricing.

  • Grade B: Amenities

    Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops, City National Arena, and Las Vegas Ballpark all within 8 minutes; community parks and trail network on-site.

  • Grade B-: Cost of Living

    Move-up pricing at $600K–$1.2M plus dual-layer HOA ($125–$300/mo) is a real commitment — offset by Nevada zero income tax and 3% property-tax cap.

Quick Answer

Is The Cliffs, Summerlin a good place to live?

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.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is The Cliffs Area Growing?

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.

Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)

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.

WHY THE CLIFFS

Why Does The Cliffs Stand Apart From Other Summerlin Villages?

From Red Rock Canyon proximity to Nevada's strongest middle school zone, The Cliffs occupies a value niche no other Summerlin South village fills at this price point. The five advantages below tie to verifiable sources — the Nevada Revised Statutes, LVR market data, GreatSchools ratings, and the HHC master plan record — so you can check every claim.

  1. Nevada's #1-rated middle school zone

    Sig Rogich Middle School scores 10/10 per GreatSchools — one of the highest-rated public middles in the state. For families with middle-school-age children, The Cliffs address is an education asset other Summerlin villages at this price point cannot match.

    GreatSchools · Nevada Report Card
  2. Closest Summerlin village to Red Rock Canyon

    Ten minutes to the 195,819-acre Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area via West Charleston Boulevard — plus direct Summerlin trail network access from the village. The outdoor lifestyle here is a walk or short ride, not just a drive.

    Bureau of Land Management · HHC master plan
  3. Value below ultra-luxury neighbors

    The Ridges starts near $2M; Red Rock Country Club starts near $1.2M. The Cliffs delivers the same western-edge Summerlin location and mountain views at $600K–$1.2M — the sweet spot for move-up buyers who want the lifestyle without the ultra-luxury premium.

    Las Vegas REALTORS, June 2026
  4. Downtown Summerlin walkability at Summerlin's best price

    Eight minutes to 125+ shops, City National Arena (Vegas Golden Knights practice), Las Vegas Ballpark, and Summerlin's dining hub — the same proximity that commands $2M in The Ridges, available at $600K from The Cliffs.

    Howard Hughes Corporation
  5. Tax-capped carrying costs + zero state income tax

    Nevada's 3% primary-residence cap under NRS 361.471 plus zero state income tax keep long-run ownership costs predictable. California households relocating to The Cliffs typically save $30,000–$60,000 per year in combined state taxes.

Quick Answer

What are HOA fees in The Cliffs, Summerlin?

Budget $125 to $300 per month — a dual-layer structure combining the Summerlin master association fee (covering the community's extensive trail network, parks, and recreational facilities across the master plan) with The Cliffs' village sub-association fee (covering neighborhood common areas and standards). Exact dues vary by neighborhood and product type. Request the full resale package early in escrow — current dues, reserve study, assessment history, and any pending special assessments. Nevada's 30–45 day escrow gives you time to review before contingencies expire.

Moving to The Cliffs, Summerlin

Should I Move to The Cliffs, Summerlin?

Every month, California households discover that the mountain-view move-up home priced out of reach in the Bay Area or Southern California is attainable 10 minutes from Red Rock Canyon. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that single line item funds most Cliffs relocations.

Why California Buyers Are Choosing The Cliffs, Summerlin

The tax math is compelling: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $40,000 per year in state income taxes alone, and that savings underwrites the mortgage on a Cliffs home with mountain views, Summerlin trail access, and an 8-minute drive to Downtown Summerlin. The effective property tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences under NRS 361.471 — predictable carrying costs that California buyers rarely enjoy.

At an $825,000 budget, Los Angeles buyers are looking at a dated 1,500 sq ft bungalow in a non-gated neighborhood. That same budget in The Cliffs secures a 2,800–4,000 sq ft elevated home with Red Rock Canyon views and Summerlin trail connectivity — 8 minutes from Downtown Summerlin and 10 minutes from one of the Southwest's most iconic canyon landscapes.

According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price in ZIP 89135 runs about $825,000 with a 38-day median market time. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value. The Bureau of Land Management manages the 195,819-acre Red Rock Canyon conservation area just 10 minutes west.

The Cliffs runs on a professional-household economy: residents skew executive, healthcare, and entrepreneurial, with average household income above $160,000 per community records. Downtown Summerlin's corporate and retail corridor is 8 minutes away, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center about 12 minutes, and the Strip's employment core roughly 20 minutes east via Summerlin Parkway — the village's western-edge location delivers outdoor lifestyle without sacrificing valley connectivity.

Cost of Living Snapshot — The Cliffs vs. Southern California

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. The category that flips hardest: move-up homes with mountain views that start at $600,000 in The Cliffs start well above $1.5M in comparable Southern California suburbs.

The Cliffs Rental Market — Rent vs. Own

The Cliffs skews heavily toward owners — 88% owner-occupied per community records — so rental listings appear infrequently. When they surface, executive leases typically run $3,500–$5,000/month for a comparable Cliffs home, making ownership economics compelling over a 5+ year hold. Short-term rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas; confirm current rules before underwriting any vacation-rental income on a Cliffs purchase.

RELOCATION TIMELINE

How to Relocate to The Cliffs, Summerlin in 8 Steps

From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Cliffs buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of establishing residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and penalties stack.

  1. Pick your sub-neighborhood and set a budget

    Decide which Cliffs you're buying: $600K entry at Cliffs Entry, $650K–$825K move-up in Cliffs Terrace or Cliffs Village, or $800K–$1.2M elevated view lots in Cliffs Ridge. Each tier carries different lot sizes, renovation levels, and HOA nuances.

  2. Get pre-approved — Summerlin-aware

    The Cliffs price band stays within conventional loan limits for most purchases, making financing simpler than at ultra-luxury neighbors. VA loans are available for eligible veterans. Get a lender-verified letter before touring — Cliffs sellers expect it.

  3. Hire a Cliffs and Summerlin South specialist

    With 1,800+ homes and four sub-neighborhoods, elevation grade and street position matter significantly to value. Work with an agent who knows which western Cliffs Ridge streets have true mountain views versus which are mostly interior-facing.

  4. Tour in person or virtually

    No guard gate means easy touring access. Walk candidate streets at different hours — western-facing homes catch afternoon sun, which matters for summer comfort and pool heating economics. Virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers; we do many of them for California relocators.

  5. Write and negotiate the offer

    Cliffs homes priced correctly at $700K–$1M often receive multiple offers within days. Know the current inventory position before you write — we'll tell you where each seller actually stands.

  6. Inspection and HOA document review

    Order the dual-layer resale package (Summerlin master HOA + The Cliffs village HOA) early — you want current dues, reserve study, and any special assessments in hand before contingencies expire. Home inspections here focus on roof and HVAC systems, which carry most of the deferred-maintenance risk on 2003–2009 builds.

  7. Clear conditions and fund

    Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30-45 days from accepted offer to funding. Jumbo financing (above conforming limits) adds a few days for appraisal on the upper Cliffs price tier.

  8. Close, move, and register

    Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), update your Nevada driver's license within 30 days, and register your vehicles within 60. Welcome to Summerlin South — your first Red Rock Canyon hike is 10 minutes away.

The Cliffs FAQ — 18 Answers

What Do The Cliffs Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in The Cliffs, Summerlin?

The Cliffs sits in ZIP code 89135, where the median list price runs about $1,050,000 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.

Is The Cliffs in Summerlin guard-gated?

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.

What ZIP code is The Cliffs in?

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.

How close is The Cliffs to Red Rock Canyon?

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.

What schools serve The Cliffs, Summerlin?

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.

What are HOA fees in The Cliffs?

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.

How does The Cliffs compare to The Ridges, Summerlin?

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.

When was The Cliffs built and what is the architecture like?

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.

What are property taxes like in The Cliffs?

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 $825,000 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.

What are the best sub-neighborhoods within The Cliffs?

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.

Is there new construction available in The Cliffs?

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.

How does Nevada compare to California for property taxes?

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.

How many homes are in The Cliffs, Summerlin?

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.

How far is The Cliffs from the Las Vegas Strip?

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.

Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell a home in The Cliffs?

Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group is Nevada's #1 real estate team with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total volume. Our agents specialize in Summerlin South villages including The Cliffs, The Ridges, The Paseos, and Red Rock Country Club. Call (702) 637-1759 for same-day availability and a free home valuation or buyer consultation.

What down payment do I need to buy in The Cliffs, Summerlin?

Most Cliffs buyers put down 5% to 20%. At the $825,000 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.

How long does it take to close on a home in The Cliffs?

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.

Is The Cliffs a good investment compared to other Summerlin villages?

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

What Else Do People Ask About The Cliffs, Summerlin?

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.

Is The Cliffs in Summerlin part of Howard Hughes Corporation?

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.

What is Sig Rogich Middle School?

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.

How close is The Cliffs to City National Arena?

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.

Is The Cliffs walkable to Downtown Summerlin?

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.

How does The Cliffs compare to The Paseos, Summerlin?

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.

Does The Cliffs have a community pool?

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.

Are there any new homes being built in The Cliffs?

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.

How far is The Cliffs from Las Vegas Ballpark?

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.
