KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About Park Highlands at a Glance?
Park Highlands is a ~2,000-acre master-planned community in North Las Vegas (ZIPs 89085/89086) with 4,000+ homes delivered from national builders priced $350K–$600K, an active-listing median near $500,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS, and a growing parks-and-trails network. North Las Vegas demographics per the U.S. Census. The takeaways below cover what matters most before you buy.
- New construction value: national builders priced $350K–$600K — roughly 20–40% below comparable new builds in Summerlin or Henderson.
- Master-plan scale: ~2,000 acres entitled for 10,000+ homes at full build-out; parks, trails, and schools built alongside residential phases.
- Best for: first-time buyers, young families, California relocators, and investors seeking new-construction appreciation in a growing master plan.
- Not guard-gated: open community with $60–$150/mo HOA covering parks and trails — budget goes further here than behind staffed gates.
- Builder due diligence: compare preferred-lender credits vs. outside-rate savings, understand the HOA phase structure, and get completion dates in writing.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is Park Highlands Safe?
Direct Answer
Park Highlands is an open master-planned community with City of North Las Vegas police coverage — a typical suburban new-construction profile. Incidents run to property matters in line with growing residential neighborhoods. Benchmark the specific blocks you're considering through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and ask our agents for neighborhood-level context before you offer.
- City of North Las Vegas PoliceFull metro coverage for the master plan
- Active HOA governanceMaster-plan rules and maintenance standards
- New construction communityActive residential population since 2014
- No guard gatePublic streets; security through community design
What Buyers Should Know
Park Highlands is a growing master-planned community — its safety profile is shaped by its demographics (72% owner-occupied, young families, active homeowners) and the North Las Vegas Police Department coverage rather than staffed gates. New-construction communities typically see lower per-capita incident rates than older high-density neighborhoods, because owner-occupancy is high and the residential base is younger.
The surrounding 89085/89086 corridors are in active development, with commercial pads and retail filling in alongside residential phases. As the master plan matures, amenity density increases and community character strengthens — both of which historically support neighborhood safety.
For buyers who compare Park Highlands to guard-gated communities, the practical trade-off is clear: you save $100–$500 per month in HOA premiums and get newer homes at lower price points, in exchange for open streets rather than a staffed gate. Run the FBI UCR data for North Las Vegas as your baseline, and verify the specific block you're considering.

Park Highlands delivers brand-new homes from five national builders at $350K–$600K, a connected parks-and-trails network, and mountain views of the Sheep Range — in a ~2,000-acre master plan still growing around you.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Park Highlands Area Growing?
North Las Vegas is one of Nevada's fastest-growing cities, adding roughly 60,000+ residents over the past decade per U.S. Census data, and Park Highlands is one of the primary drivers: a ~2,000-acre master plan entitled for 10,000+ homes at full build-out, actively delivering rooftops since 2014. Early-phase buyers in growing master plans historically benefit as infrastructure and commercial amenities arrive over time.

North Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside Park Highlands, growth is active rather than projected: new builder phases open regularly, commercial pads along the master plan's arterials are filling in, and school capacity is expanding alongside residential phases. The 10,000+ home entitlement means there is still meaningful community build-out ahead — which drives continued infrastructure investment and appreciation potential for early buyers.

LIVABILITY SCORES

Quick Answer
What are HOA fees in Park Highlands?
Expect $60–$150 per month, covering community parks, the connected trail system, and master-plan common-area maintenance. Exact dues vary by sub-association and builder phase — Park Highlands West and East may have slightly different structures — so request the HOA disclosure from your specific builder or seller early in the process. Combined with Nevada's zero state income tax and a 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471, total monthly carrying costs in Park Highlands stay significantly lower than comparable new-construction master plans in Southern California.
Moving to Park Highlands
Should I Move to Park Highlands?
Every month, California households discover that brand-new master-planned living — complete with parks, trails, and five national builders — is attainable at $350K–$600K in North Las Vegas. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero, and that single line item funds most relocations.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Park Highlands
The tax math is the conversation-opener: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $20,000+ per year in state income taxes alone. Park Highlands adds what California's inland new-construction tracts can't match at a similar price: a ~2,000-acre master plan entitled for 10,000+ homes, five active national builders, a connected parks-and-trails network, and mountain views of the Sheep Range — all within 25 minutes of the Las Vegas Strip via I-15.
At a $500,000 budget, Inland Empire or Sacramento buyers see a mid-2000s resale on a tight lot. That same budget in Park Highlands secures a brand-new 2,400+ sq ft home with open-concept layout, energy-efficient construction, smart-home technology, and a full builder warranty — twenty-five minutes from the Strip and fifteen from Downtown Las Vegas.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, North Las Vegas ZIP codes 89085 and 89086 carry an active median near $500,000. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value, capped at 3% annual growth for primary residences. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and the U.S. Census Bureau tracks North Las Vegas as one of Nevada's fastest-growing cities.
Park Highlands residents commute into a diversified metro economy anchored by the resort corridor, healthcare, logistics, and a growing technology and manufacturing base. The Las Vegas Strip sits 25 minutes south, Nellis Air Force Base about 20 minutes southeast, and the North Las Vegas industrial corridor — home to logistics, manufacturing, and Amazon fulfillment — is within 10–15 minutes. Per BLS Las Vegas MSA data, metro employment remains near historic highs heading into 2026.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Park Highlands vs. California
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal or inland California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. New construction at $350K–$600K with a full builder warranty is the sharpest single contrast: comparable new builds in the Inland Empire or Sacramento foothills run $550K–$800K for smaller lots and fewer amenities.
| Metric | Park Highlands, NV | California (Inland/Central) |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| New-Construction Entry Price | From $350K | $550K+ (Inland Empire) |
| HOA Fees | $60–$150/mo | $200–$400/mo (similar master plans) |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.75% | ~1.1%+ (post-Prop 13 reset) |
| Drive to Airport | ~35 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (LAX/Ontario/SMF) |

Park Highlands Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Park Highlands skews strongly toward ownership — 72% of households own per community records — but rental supply exists across the master plan as early buyers lease rather than sell. Single-family rentals in the $350K–$500K band typically list at $1,900–$2,400 per month. Short-term rentals require City of North Las Vegas licensing and HOA compliance review. For buyers who want to test the community before buying, renting a Park Highlands home for 6–12 months is a viable path — ask our agents for current rental inventory.

Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to Park Highlands in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8–12 week timeline most Park Highlands buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of establishing residency and vehicle registration within 60 days, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your sub-neighborhood and budget
Decide between the entry-tier Starter Homes ($350K+), Parkside/Trailside amenity adjacency ($400K+), the established Park Highlands West ($400K+), or Summit View premium lots ($500K+). Each carries a different lifestyle trade-off and builder mix.
Get pre-approved — builder-aware
Most Park Highlands builders accept FHA (3.5% down), VA (0% down for veterans), and conventional financing. Builder preferred lenders often bundle $5K–$15K in closing credits — compare their all-in rate against an independent lender before signing anything.
Hire a Park Highlands specialist
Builder agents represent the builder, not you. Bring your own representation from the first model-home tour — it costs you nothing extra and gives you an advocate for upgrade negotiation, contract contingencies, and build-schedule tracking.
Tour model homes and spec inventory
Model homes are open daily. Quick move-in specs can close in 30–45 days; to-be-built contracts run 90–180 days. Tour at least two builders before committing — floor-plan differences at the same price point are often significant.
Write and negotiate the offer
Builder contracts are more standardized than resale but still negotiable on upgrades, lot premiums, closing-credit amounts, and rate buydowns. Our agents know which Park Highlands builders are most flexible and when in their quarter.
Inspection and HOA disclosure review
New construction still needs an independent inspector — especially at the pre-drywall and final walk stages. Review the HOA disclosure package for your specific phase: dues, reserve study, CC&Rs, and any pending assessments.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30–45 days from acceptance to funding on spec homes. Lock your rate early on longer to-be-built timelines — float-down provisions are worth negotiating.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Valley Water District), register for HOA access and community amenities, then handle the DMV — Nevada driver's license within 30 days, vehicle registration within 60.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a Park Highlands entry home for five years nets out ahead of renting once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner builds roughly $112,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter accumulates none. Builder incentives that reduce effective purchase price or rate improve the buy-side math further.

Get your completion estimate in writing and have your agent track the build schedule weekly so rate-lock timing doesn't cost you.
Quick Answer

Most Park Highlands buyers put down 3–10%. On a $450,000 new-construction home, a conventional 5% down payment means roughly $22,500 out of pocket; FHA loans allow 3.5% with a 580+ credit score.

Park Highlands FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Park Highlands Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Park Highlands?
Across ZIP codes 89085 and 89086, the median list price runs approximately $500,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS GLVAR data. New construction from five national builders spans $350,000 to $600,000 — KB Home and Lennar entry plans start near $375,000, and Summit View lots reach $600,000. Get pre-approved first; builder incentives often require preferred-lender financing.
Is Park Highlands still building new homes?
Yes — Park Highlands is actively building across its ~2,000-acre master plan, which is entitled for more than 10,000 homes at full build-out. With 4,000+ homes delivered since 2014, the community still has several active phases from Shea Homes, Lennar, KB Home, Richmond American, and Taylor Morrison. Quick move-in specs appear and sell fast. Tell us your timeline and we will flag current inventory and upcoming lot releases before you tour model homes.
What builders are in Park Highlands?
Five national builders are active in Park Highlands: Shea Homes, Lennar, KB Home, Richmond American, and Taylor Morrison. Each offers multiple floor plans and price points across different phases of the master plan. Builder lineups shift as phases sell out, so verify which builders have active releases before visiting. Bring your own representation — our agents accompany buyers from the first model-home walk at no extra cost.
What ZIP codes is Park Highlands in?
Park Highlands spans ZIP codes 89085 and 89086 in North Las Vegas, at the northern edge of the Las Vegas Valley. Homes range from $350,000 to $600,000 across the ~2,000-acre master plan. The Strip is about 25 minutes south via I-15; Downtown Las Vegas about 15 minutes. Set alerts for both ZIPs so you never miss a listing on either side of the community boundary.
Is Park Highlands guard-gated?
No — Park Highlands is an open master-planned community, not guard-gated. Security comes from HOA governance, neighborhood design, and a growing residential base rather than staffed gates. The trade-off favors your budget: HOA fees run a modest $60–$150 per month while still funding community parks, the connected trail system, and common-area maintenance. If staffed gates are essential, we can point you to gated alternatives elsewhere in the Las Vegas Valley.
What are HOA fees in Park Highlands?
Expect $60–$150 per month, covering community parks, the connected trail system, and common-area maintenance across the master plan. Exact dues vary by sub-association and builder phase — request the resale package or builder HOA disclosure for the specific neighborhood you are considering. Combined with Nevada's zero state income tax and effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% capped at 3% annual growth for primary residences under NRS 361.471, monthly carrying costs stay manageable.
What are property taxes like in Park Highlands?
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.75% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor — and annual increases on a primary residence are capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $500,000 Park Highlands home that means approximately $2,500–$3,750 per year. There is no state income tax in Nevada, so a California household earning $200,000 saves roughly $20,000+ annually compared to California's top marginal rate of 13.3%.
What schools serve Park Highlands?
Park Highlands is zoned to Clark County School District campuses: Reedom Elementary (6/10 per GreatSchools), Kathleen & Tim Harney Middle School (6/10), and Legacy High School (5/10). Charter alternatives score higher — Somerset Academy North Las Vegas rates 8/10 and Doral Academy of Nevada rates 9/10 per GreatSchools. Private options include American Preparatory Academy (K–12) and Faith Lutheran Middle & High (A rating). Verify zoning for any specific address before you offer.
How does Park Highlands compare to Aliante?
Choose Park Highlands for the newest homes; choose Aliante for mature amenities. Park Highlands is a 2,000-acre master plan in active construction since 2014, with current floor plans from five national builders starting near $350,000. Aliante is more established, anchored by a golf course, casino, and Nature Discovery Park. Pricing overlaps — Aliante from roughly $300,000, Park Highlands from $350,000. Both sit about 25 minutes from the Strip. Tour both; the new-versus-established trade-off usually decides it.
What outdoor amenities does Park Highlands offer?
Park Highlands' master plan centers outdoor recreation: a ~15-acre Central Park with event space, sports courts, playgrounds, and picnic areas; ~50 linear acres of connected walking and cycling trails threading the community; and Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs roughly ten minutes away — 680 acres of fishing ponds, peacock gardens, and historic ranch buildings. Higher-elevation Summit View lots capture panoramic Sheep Range and Spring Mountains views visible from many backyards.
How far is Park Highlands from the Strip?
About 25 minutes to the Las Vegas Strip via I-15 South. Downtown Las Vegas is closer at roughly 15 minutes, Harry Reid International Airport runs about 35 minutes via I-15 and I-215, and the Aliante Casino is only 10 minutes away for nearby dining and entertainment. The I-15 corridor is the commute spine — test the route at your actual commute hour before committing to any specific block within the community.
Is Park Highlands a good investment?
Park Highlands is in its growth phase — early buyers in active master-plan communities historically benefit from appreciation as the plan matures and commercial amenities arrive. With 10,000+ homes entitled at full build-out, long-term infrastructure investment is locked in. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 keep carrying costs predictable. That said, new construction means resale buyers compete with builder pricing — factor that into your exit assumptions.
How does Nevada's tax environment compare to California for Park Highlands buyers?
The gap is substantial. California's top marginal state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board. Nevada levies zero. A household earning $300,000 saves roughly $30,000+ per year in state income tax alone — enough to buy significantly more home at Park Highlands' $350K–$600K price points. Add Nevada's 3% property-tax cap and no personal property tax on vehicles, and the annual savings fund most of the price premium over staying in California.
What sub-neighborhoods are in Park Highlands?
Six distinct sub-neighborhoods make up Park Highlands: Park Highlands West (earliest phase, most mature streetscape, from $400K), Park Highlands East (newest construction, latest builder floor plans, from $375K), Summit View (elevated lots with mountain views and enhanced privacy, from $500K), Parkside (adjacent to the Central Park with direct trail access, from $425K), Trailside (along the connected trail system, from $400K), and Starter Homes (the most affordable entry tier, from $350K).
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in Park Highlands?
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 volume. Our agents accompany buyers through every Park Highlands model home and builder contract, negotiate incentives and upgrades, and represent sellers competitively against active builder inventory. Same-day response guaranteed.
What down payment do you need to buy in Park Highlands?
Most Park Highlands buyers put down 3–10%. On a $450,000 new-construction home, a conventional 5% down payment means roughly $22,500 out of pocket; FHA loans allow 3.5% with a 580+ credit score. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans — and several Park Highlands builders accept VA financing directly. Builder preferred-lender programs often bundle closing-cost credits with required use, so compare the all-in cost before committing to any one financing path.
How long does it take to close on a new home in Park Highlands?
Spec (quick move-in) homes close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. To-be-built contracts run 90–180 days depending on builder, phase, and current production pace. Cash purchases on standing spec inventory can close in 14–21 days. Builder timelines shift with supply chains and permitting — get your completion estimate in writing, and have your agent track the build schedule weekly so financing lock timing doesn't cost you rate.
Should I use the builder's preferred lender or my own?
Run both and compare the all-in cost. Builder preferred lenders often offer $5,000–$15,000 in closing credits or upgrade allowances tied to using their program — but their rate may run 0.125–0.375% above market, which costs more over 30 years than the upfront credit saves. Have an outside lender issue a competing loan estimate on the same scenario. Our agents help buyers model both paths before signing any builder contract at Park Highlands.

What Else Do People Ask About Park Highlands?
These are the eight queries Park Highlands buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, tax law from Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the plan record.
Is Park Highlands in North Las Vegas or Las Vegas?
Park Highlands is in North Las Vegas — a separate incorporated city from the City of Las Vegas — within ZIP codes 89085 and 89086. It's governed by the City of North Las Vegas and served by the North Las Vegas Police Department. The master plan sits at the northern edge of the Las Vegas Valley, about 20 miles from the Strip.
How many homes are planned for Park Highlands?
The master plan is entitled for more than 10,000 homes at full build-out across ~2,000 acres. With 4,000+ homes delivered since 2014, the community still has significant build-out ahead — making it one of the largest active master-planned developments in the Las Vegas Valley, and one of the few where early buyers can still participate in the appreciation curve.
Can I use a VA loan to buy in Park Highlands?
Yes — most active Park Highlands builders accept VA loans, and the 0% down payment benefit is particularly valuable at this community's $350K–$600K price points. The funding fee applies unless you have a service-connected disability rating; your lender handles the VA appraisal and certificate of eligibility. Call (702) 637-1759 and our agents will connect you with VA-experienced builders and lenders in the community.
What are the best streets in Park Highlands?
It depends on your priorities. Parkside streets adjacent to the Central Park are best for families who want daily trail access. Summit View streets on the community's northern elevation are best for mountain views. Park Highlands West has the most established streetscape and mature landscaping. Our agents who specialize in Park Highlands can map current listings to your specific priorities — block by block.
Is Park Highlands good for first-time buyers?
Yes — it's one of the strongest first-time buyer markets in the Las Vegas Valley. New construction from $350K, builder warranty coverage, FHA and VA financing accepted by most active builders, and $60–$150/mo HOA fees make the monthly carrying cost very manageable. Builder incentive programs often include closing-cost credits and rate buydowns that reduce effective out-of-pocket costs further.
How does California compare to Park Highlands for taxes?
California's top marginal state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero. A household earning $250,000 saves roughly $25,000+ per year in state income taxes by establishing Nevada residency. Add Nevada's 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 and the absence of a personal property tax on vehicles, and the annual savings materially improve the affordability of a Park Highlands purchase versus staying in California.
Are there resale homes in Park Highlands?
Yes — Park Highlands West, the earliest completed phase, is now a mature resale market alongside active new phases in Park Highlands East and Summit View. Resale buyers often get established landscaping and sometimes larger lots in earlier phases; new-construction buyers get the latest floor plans and builder warranties. Our agents can model both scenarios at the same price point so you see the real trade-offs before you choose.
What is the Park Highlands trail system like?
The community trail system covers approximately 50 linear acres of connected walking and cycling paths lacing through all six sub-neighborhoods and linking to Park Highlands Central Park. The trails provide direct pedestrian connections to the ~15-acre Central Park's sports courts, event space, and picnic areas — designed to keep outdoor recreation accessible from any address in the master plan without a car.
