SAFETY & CRIME
How Safe Is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
Direct Answer
Yes. Yellowstone at Mountains Edge is served by LVMPD and ranks among the more stable suburban sections of the southwestern Las Vegas Valley. Mountains Edge's 2004-2010 construction means planned streets without cut-through traffic, 72 percent homeownership, and HOA community standards -- all correlating with lower incident rates than valley-wide averages.
- Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department coverageCity of Las Vegas services and city police
- Homeownership in Mountains EdgeCommunity records -- owner-heavy demographics
- Purpose-built streets, interior layoutNo through-traffic arterials bisecting residential blocks
- Violent crime vs national average, southwest LV corridorFBI Uniform Crime Reporting
What Buyers Should Know
Mountains Edge was planned in the 2000s with residential-only street patterns -- cul-de-sacs and loops rather than collector-road cut-throughs -- which limits non-resident vehicle traffic through Yellowstone. Combined with the plan's high homeownership rate and active HOA-driven community standards, the neighborhood maintains a suburban character where typical incidents are vehicle break-ins and package theft rather than violent crime.
The Blue Diamond Road and I-215 corridors at the plan's perimeter see higher incident concentrations typical of commercial corridors. Residential blocks inside the master plan, a street or two removed from those arterials, run considerably quieter.
For buyers who want additional verification, LVMPD publishes an interactive crime mapping tool online where you can check incident history for the specific blocks around any home you are considering.

What is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge known for?

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Yellowstone at Mountains Edge Score?
Yellowstone earns strong marks for value, parks, and mountain views, with honest trade-offs on zoned school ratings and the commute to the Strip. Below is our category-by-category report card -- the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating buyer before a first tour of this Mountains Edge neighborhood.

LVMPD coverage; Mountains Edge's owner-heavy demographics and interior street layout keep typical incidents to suburban property matters. Verify block-level data via LVMPD's public crime map.
Grade B: Schools
Zoned campuses rate 6-7/10 on GreatSchools; strong charter alternatives -- Doral Academy and Pinecrest Academy at 8/10 -- compensate well for families willing to choose charter options.
Grade A-: Cost of Living
$494K ZIP-area median, $60--$150/mo combined HOA, zero state income tax, and property taxes running 0.5--0.7% of value -- strong value for newer construction with mountain views.
Grade B+: Amenities
100+ park acres, Exploration Peak summit trail, connected bike paths, Blue Diamond Road retail, and I-215 corridor access.
Grade A: Outdoor Access
Exploration Peak Park and Mountains Edge Regional Park are outstanding; Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is 15 minutes northwest.
Grade B: Commute
Blue Diamond Road handles local errands in minutes; I-215 reaches the airport in 20 minutes and the Strip in 25 -- slightly longer than midvalley addresses.

Quick Answer
Is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge a good place to live?
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.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Mountains Edge Area Growing?
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.

3,500Mountains Edge master plan acres
~700,000Las Vegas city projected, 2030
Las Vegas city population trajectory, 2010--2030 (projected)
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.

Quick Answer
What does a combined HOA cost in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
Yellowstone carries a two-layer HOA: the Mountains Edge master-association assessment plus the Yellowstone sub-association fee. Combined, dues run $60 to $150 per month depending on the phase. Those dues fund the 100-plus-acre park system, trail network, and community landscaping across the master plan -- strong value relative to comparable Las Vegas master plans where dues run $150-plus for less park acreage. Always pull both the master and sub-association resale packages -- dues, reserves, special-assessment history -- during your inspection period.
Moving to Yellowstone at Mountains Edge
Should I Move to Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
Every month, families from California discover that a newer-construction home with mountain views priced out of reach at home is attainable in southwest Las Vegas. California's top income-tax rate reaches 13.3 percent per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero -- and that single line item funds most relocation decisions.
Why Southwest Las Vegas Buyers Are Choosing Yellowstone at Mountains Edge
The tax math is direct: California's top marginal income tax rate is 13.3 percent -- Nevada's is zero. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $16,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Yellowstone adds the suburb argument that coastal markets answer only at two to three times the price: a 2004-2010-built single-family home in a 3,500-acre master plan with 100-plus acres of parks, Exploration Peak's summit trail, and HOA-maintained streets -- all between $320K and $500K.
At a $475,000 budget, Southern California buyers are looking at a condominium with a long commute. That same budget in Yellowstone secures a four-bedroom single-family home with Spring Mountain views, access to Exploration Peak Park, and a connected trail network -- with Blue Diamond Road retail, the I-215 corridor, and Harry Reid International Airport roughly 20 minutes away.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across the 89178 ZIP area is $494,450. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5 to 0.7 percent of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data confirms the southwestern Las Vegas Valley runs below national violent-crime averages, and GreatSchools rates charter options Doral Academy and Pinecrest Academy at 8/10 in the 89178 corridor.
Yellowstone's economy anchors on the southwest valley's retail and service employment base: Blue Diamond Road's grocery, dining, and service corridor sits minutes from the community, while I-215 access connects residents to Henderson's major employers, the Strip's hospitality complex, and Harry Reid International Airport's logistics and airline jobs within 15 to 25 minutes.
Cost of Living Snapshot -- Yellowstone at Mountains Edge 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. The category that flips hardest for families: newer-construction homes with park access that start in the $320Ks here require $700K-plus near comparable Los Angeles campuses.
| Metric | Yellowstone, Las Vegas NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Median List Price | $494,450 (ZIP area) | ~$900K+ |
| Newer Construction Entry Point | $320K (2004-2010 built) | $700K+ typical |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%--0.7% | ~1.1% on new purchases |
| Airport Commute | ~20 min (Harry Reid) | 45--90+ min (LAX) |

Yellowstone Rental Market -- Rent vs. Own
Single-family homes in the 89178 ZIP area typically rent for about $2,100 to $2,800 per month, with three-bedroom floor plans in good condition commanding premiums. Mountains Edge owner-occupancy near 72 percent keeps vacancy low and tenant quality high. The I-215 corridor's employment access -- Henderson in 15 minutes, airport in 20 -- sustains steady tenant demand. Short-term rental rules in the City of Las Vegas are strict; read the ordinance before underwriting any nightly-income strategy.

Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to Relocate to Yellowstone at Mountains Edge in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here is the 8-12 week timeline most Yellowstone 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 price range and lot position
Decide which Yellowstone you are buying: $320K--$400K entry three-bedroom homes, $400K--$460K mid-tier four-bedrooms, or $460K--$500K+ upgraded floor plans with mountain-view premiums. Trail-backing lots command a noticeable premium over interior streets.
Get pre-approved with HOA in mind
FHA and conventional loans both work across the $320K--$500K range. The two-layer HOA of $60--$150 per month factors into your debt-to-income ratio -- get fully underwritten before you tour so you can move fast on a well-priced home.
Hire a Yellowstone specialist
Phase-by-phase HOA variation, lot-premium positioning, and the two-layer document process require local knowledge. An agent who knows which Yellowstone streets trail-back, which phases run lighter dues, and what the Exploration Peak view premium is worth pays for itself in one negotiation.
Tour in person or virtually
Walk a Yellowstone street, hike the Exploration Peak trail, and drive the Blue Diamond Road commute corridor in one afternoon -- the mountain-view reality check is worth the trip before you write an offer.
Write and negotiate the offer
Well-priced homes with Exploration Peak views draw competing offers; homes needing cosmetic updates or priced above the ZIP-area median give buyers negotiating room. Block-specific comp analysis drives the right strategy.
Inspection, HOA docs, and appraisal
Budget 2004-2010 system diligence: HVAC units, water heaters, and roofing are at or approaching service midpoints. Order both master-association and sub-association resale packages simultaneously -- the two-layer structure adds a few days to document collection.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. HOA resale-package delivery typically takes 5-10 business days per association -- your agent should order both packages at contract acceptance.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Las Vegas water services), then handle the Nevada DMV -- license within 30 days of establishing residency, vehicle registration within 60.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a mid-range Yellowstone home for five years nets out cheaper than renting once principal paydown and appreciation are counted -- and the owner retains roughly $112,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter retains none. A built-out plan with limited new supply gives the appreciation assumption structural support.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $105/mo blended HOA, ~7% resale costs.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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
What down payment do you need to buy in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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

Yellowstone homes trade $320K to $500K, with premiums driven by floor plan size, lot position, mountain views, and 2004-2010 construction condition.
Is Yellowstone part of Mountains Edge?
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.
What are HOA fees in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
What parks are near Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
What is the average days on market in Yellowstone?
Homes sold across the 89178 ZIP area in June 2026 took a median of about 20 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.
What are property taxes like in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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 $494,450 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.
What schools serve Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
How far is Yellowstone from the Las Vegas Strip?
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.
Is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge a safe neighborhood?
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.
How does Nevada's tax climate compare to California for Yellowstone buyers?
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.
What amenities does Mountains Edge offer Yellowstone residents?
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.
Is there new construction available near Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
What is the rental market like in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
How does Yellowstone compare to other Mountains Edge neighborhoods?
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.
What should I know before buying in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
What down payment do I need to buy in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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 $494,450 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.
What does an HOA cost in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
Is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge in Las Vegas or Henderson?
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.
What ZIP code is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
What developer built Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
How old are homes in Yellowstone at Mountains Edge?
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.
Does Mountains Edge have a golf course?
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.
Is Yellowstone walkable?
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.
How far is Yellowstone from Red Rock Canyon?
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.
Is Yellowstone at Mountains Edge a good investment?
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.
