SAFETY & CRIME
Is The Gardens Summerlin Safe?
The Gardens is an established Summerlin South family neighborhood in Las Vegas — no guard gate, but consistent owner-occupancy (82%) and quiet interior streets create an environment where incidents are typically minor suburban property matters. Benchmark the surrounding area through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and confirm any address-specific questions with our agents during due diligence.
- Owner-occupied householdsCommunity records — high ownership correlates with lower incident rates
- City of Las Vegas police jurisdictionMetro coverage for the Summerlin South area
- Established neighborhood maturityLong-tenured residents, quiet interior streets, limited through-traffic
- Master-plan standards applyHoward Hughes Corporation community guidelines and maintenance
What Buyers Should Know
Geography and community design do quiet work in The Gardens: the village's internal street network limits through-traffic on most residential blocks, and 82% homeownership means the people on those streets are overwhelmingly neighbors with long-term stakes in maintaining the community's character.
The surrounding Summerlin South corridors are among the most stable residential areas in the Las Vegas Valley — established, owner-heavy, and served by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Incidents track to suburban property matters: occasional vehicle break-ins along commercial corridors on West Charleston, rarely violent events. Buyers can verify current figures through FBI UCR-based tools before writing an offer.
For family buyers, the practical safety picture — 82% ownership rate, master-plan maintenance standards, quiet cul-de-sac streets, and close proximity to established commercial and community infrastructure — compares favorably to most Las Vegas family neighborhoods in the same price band.

What is The Gardens Summerlin known for?

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does The Gardens Summerlin Score?
The Gardens earns top marks for schools, parks, and family livability — honest trade-offs are the absence of a guard gate and slightly longer Strip and airport drives compared to more central Las Vegas neighborhoods. Six categories below, benchmarked to the metrics our agents use with every buyer weighing Summerlin South villages.
Grade A+: Schools
Rogich Middle (10/10) is one of Nevada's best; Palo Verde HS (8/10) is the public zone; Bishop Gorman and The Meadows School are minutes away.
Grade A: Parks & Outdoor
15-acre Gardens Park anchoring the village, Summerlin trail system connectivity, and Red Rock Canyon 12 minutes west.
Grade B+: Cost of Living
$450K–$750K buys established Summerlin South character; HOA at $75–$200/mo is among the lowest in the master plan.
Grade B+: Amenities
10 minutes to Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops and 40+ restaurants; West Charleston Boulevard corridor for everyday needs.
Grade B: Safety
No guard gate — City of Las Vegas police jurisdiction with code-entry on some sub-neighborhoods; benchmarks per FBI UCR data.
Grade B: Commute
10 min to Downtown Summerlin; 20 min to the Strip via Summerlin Parkway; 28 min to the airport — typical Summerlin South timing.

Quick Answer
Is The Gardens, Summerlin a good place to live?
Yes — especially for families and value-oriented Summerlin buyers. The Gardens combines Summerlin South's best school zoning (Rogich Middle at 10/10, Palo Verde High at 8/10) with 15-acre Gardens Park, 25+ years of mature landscaping, and $450K–$750K pricing that delivers full Howard Hughes master-plan benefits without guard-gate premiums. The honest trade-off: no staffed gate and a 20-minute Strip commute. For buyers prioritizing schools, parks, and Summerlin South pricing over nightlife proximity or gated security, few village addresses in the master plan compete.

Who Lives in The Gardens, Summerlin?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city that contains The Gardens — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the village, community records show roughly 7,000+ residents across 2,600+ households, a median age near 40, and average household income above $120,000.
The Census does not tabulate The Gardens as its own place — Las Vegas citywide figures are the statistical backdrop. Within the village, our closing data shows dual-income professional families, California relocators, and active adult households drawn to the park-centered design, the 10/10 middle school, and Summerlin South's walkable community character at accessible pricing.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Summerlin South Area Growing?
The Gardens itself is fully established — 2,600+ homes since the village built out in the mid-2000s, with growth happening through renovations and resale rather than new rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, with Summerlin South remaining one of the metro's most in-demand family corridors.
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside The Gardens, growth is structurally capped at 2,600+ homes — the village is built out, and the 420-acre footprint is permanent. That scarcity at accessible Summerlin South pricing is the structural argument for ownership: new buyers cannot dilute the supply the way they can in actively-building Summerlin West villages, keeping well-bought Gardens positions supported over long hold periods.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does The Gardens Score for Livability?
The Gardens scores highest on schools and outdoor access — Rogich Middle at 10/10 and 15-acre Gardens Park within walking distance of most streets. The honest gap is the absence of a staffed gate; safety benchmarks to the surrounding city rather than a controlled enclave. Six categories below, tied to Census, GreatSchools, and FBI data.

WHY THE GARDENS
Why Does The Gardens Stand Apart From Its Summerlin Peers?
From Rogich Middle's 10/10 rating to the 15-acre Gardens Park at the village heart, The Gardens fills a specific niche inside the Summerlin master plan. The five advantages below are tied to verifiable sources — the Nevada Revised Statutes, GreatSchools, the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, and Las Vegas REALTORS data — so you can check every claim.
- GreatSchools 2026
The strongest middle school zone in Summerlin South
Sig Rogich Middle School rates 10/10 per GreatSchools — a rare perfect score for a public school. For families with middle schoolers, this is a decisive differentiator over neighboring Summerlin villages.
- Community plan record
Gardens Park — 15 acres inside the village
Most Summerlin South villages have trail access; The Gardens has a full 15-acre park with playground, basketball courts, dog park, and open fields as its anchor — not a small pocket green.
- Howard Hughes Corporation · Community records
Summerlin South pricing without guard-gate premiums
Entry at $450K with $75–$200 monthly HOA delivers full Howard Hughes master-plan access — trails, parks, and community character — at fees well below gated Summerlin communities.
- Community plan record
25+ years of mature landscaping
Established since 1999, The Gardens has the lush trees and greenbelts that give the village its name — a character newer Summerlin West communities are still growing into.
- Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471
Tax-capped carrying costs — zero state income tax
Nevada's 3% primary-residence tax cap under NRS 361.471 plus zero state income tax keep the annual ownership math predictable — and far better than California equivalents.

What Are the Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Home in The Gardens Summerlin?

Mature parks inside the village, the 200-mile Summerlin trail network connecting to Red Rock Canyon, and 300 days of annual sunshine make The Gardens one of the valley's most outdoors-accessible family addresses, per Howard Hughes Corporation's master-plan design principles and the Bureau of Land Management's conservation area adjacent to the master plan.

Quick Answer
What are HOA fees in The Gardens Summerlin?
Plan on $75 to $200 per month — one of the most affordable fee structures in Summerlin South. That combines the Summerlin South master-association fee with the village sub-association assessment and funds Gardens Park, the trail-connected common areas, and landscaping maintenance throughout the village. Exact dues vary by sub-neighborhood, so request the resale package during your 30-45 day escrow to confirm the precise figure for your address. No guard-gate staffing costs here — that's what keeps the number so low relative to gated Summerlin communities.
Should I Move to The Gardens, Summerlin?
Every month, California families discover that established, park-centered suburban living priced out of reach in the Bay Area or Southern California is attainable inside a Summerlin South village. 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 relocation decisions.
Why California Families Are Choosing The Gardens
The tax math is hard to argue with: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $19,000 per year in state income taxes alone. The Gardens adds what Southern California's comparable family neighborhoods can't match: an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.75% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences, attached to 2,600+ homes on 420 green, park-centered acres with a 10/10-rated middle school in the zoning area.
At a $585,000 budget, Los Angeles buyers are looking at a dated bungalow on a small lot in an outer suburb. That same budget in The Gardens secures a spacious Mediterranean home on a tree-lined street within walking distance of Gardens Park — often with a pool and updated kitchen — ten minutes from Downtown Summerlin and twenty from the Strip.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the Summerlin South area carries an active median list price around $585,000, with The Gardens spanning $450K–$750K across its 2,600+ homes. 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 roughly 195,000-acre Red Rock Canyon conservation area about 12 minutes west.
The Gardens runs on a professional and family economy: residents skew dual-income households and established executives, with average household income above $120,000 per community records. The Downtown Summerlin corporate and retail corridor sits 10 minutes west, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center is about 15 minutes away, and the Strip employment core is 20 minutes east — the village's central Summerlin South position covers nearly every major valley employment node efficiently.
Cost of Living Snapshot — The Gardens Summerlin 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 matters most here: established park-centered family living that starts at $450,000 in The Gardens costs well over $1 million for a comparable neighborhood in Los Angeles or the Bay Area.

The Gardens Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
The Gardens has an 82% homeownership rate per community records, so long-term rentals are available but never abundant. Family-sized 3–4 bedroom homes lease for roughly $2,200–$3,200 per month, reflecting consistent demand from relocating professionals and families. Short-term vacation rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas — confirm current ordinance requirements before underwriting any STR income. For a 5+ year hold, the equity math and scarcity of well-positioned Summerlin South family homes favors owning over renting.

Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to The Gardens Summerlin in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Gardens buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60 days, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your sub-neighborhood and budget
Decide which Gardens fit: $450K entry homes, $500K+ core-village streets, $525K+ park-adjacent blocks, or $625K+ premium updated homes. School-zone and park-proximity priorities should drive the choice.
Verify school zoning for your address
Rogich Middle School boundaries can vary within the village — confirm the exact zoning for any address you're considering before submitting an offer, not after. Our agents pull the current CCSD boundary map.
Get pre-approved — program-aware
Most Gardens homes are FHA- and VA-eligible under current loan limits. Conventional works across the board. Have your pre-approval letter ready before your first showing — Gardens homes priced right go quickly.
Tour in person or virtually
No gate clearance required — tour on any schedule. Walk park-adjacent blocks in the morning to feel the community character; drive West Charleston at evening to check commute convenience.
Write and negotiate the offer
In a 32-day median market, move quickly on homes you want. Our agents know the Gardens' micro-negotiation dynamics — which sub-neighborhoods are bidding and which have room.
Inspection and HOA document review
Order the resale package early: confirm your specific HOA dues ($75–$200 range), reserve balance, and any pending assessments. Standard Nevada seller-disclosure covers the home condition.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Financed buyers on well-priced homes with clear-to-close lenders hit the 30-day mark consistently.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), update your address with the HOA for Summerlin trail-pass access, then handle the DMV — license within 30 days, registration within 60.
ECONOMY & JOBS
What Drives the The Gardens Summerlin Economy?
The Gardens runs on a dual-income professional and family economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro added jobs consistently through 2025, and community records put average household income above $120,000 — nearly double the Clark County median, reflecting the Summerlin South professional profile.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in The Gardens right now?
Rental supply inside The Gardens is limited by the 82% homeownership rate — executive family leases appear but never in volume. For 5+ year holds, the built-out scarcity and Rogich Middle demand support a buy thesis.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a median Gardens home for five years nets out cheaper than leasing once principal paydown and modest appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $185,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter builds none. Family demand tied to Rogich Middle School zoning supports above-average appreciation in the Summerlin South corridor.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in The Gardens Summerlin?
Most Gardens purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 10–14 days; financed offers with pre-approved buyers and clear-to-close lenders consistently hit the 30-day mark. FHA and VA loans can take 35–45 days depending on appraisal turnaround. Build your offer timeline around your financing type — our agents coordinate with your lender to keep the escrow on schedule.
Quick Answer
What down payment do I need to buy in The Gardens Summerlin?
Most Gardens buyers put down 5% to 20%. On a $585,000 median home, conventional financing with 10% down means roughly $58,500 upfront plus closing costs — about $75,000 total to close. FHA loans allow 3.5% down for qualifying buyers (roughly $20,500 on a $585K home), and VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. The Gardens' price range keeps it well under conventional loan limits in 2026, so low-down programs work across most of the village.
The Gardens FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do The Gardens Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in The Gardens, Summerlin?
Across ZIP codes 89135 and 89134 — the two Summerlin South ZIPs that contain The Gardens — the area median list price runs about $585,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Inside the village itself, 2,600+ homes trade from roughly $450,000 for entry-level and attached products to $750,000 for larger, updated homes on premium lots near Gardens Park. Homes sold in about 32 median days recently, so well-priced listings move quickly.
Is The Gardens in Summerlin guard-gated?
No — The Gardens has no staffed guard gate, which is a key reason HOA fees stay lean at $75–$200 per month. Some sub-neighborhoods use key-fob or code-entry gates for residents, but there is no 24-hour staffed perimeter. That trade-off keeps Summerlin South accessible: you get full Howard Hughes Corporation master-plan amenities, Summerlin's trail network, and Gardens Park — without the premium dues or entry-point that guard-gated Summerlin villages carry.
What ZIP code is The Gardens Summerlin in?
The Gardens spans ZIP codes 89135 and 89134 in Summerlin South, Las Vegas. Both fall under Clark County School District zoning, and both carry Nevada's ownership advantages: no state income tax, an effective property-tax rate around 0.5–0.75% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the 3% annual cap on primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. Run both ZIPs in your saved search so no listing slips past you.
When was The Gardens, Summerlin built?
Development began in 1999 under the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan, with most homes completed between 1999 and the mid-2000s during the Summerlin South expansion phase. The payoff today is more than 25 years of mature trees, lush landscaping, and established green spaces that newer Summerlin villages simply cannot replicate. Many homes have since been updated with modern kitchens, new pools, and contemporary finishes — we can sort renovated inventory from original-condition value plays on your first search.
What schools serve The Gardens in Summerlin?
The Gardens zones to three well-regarded Clark County School District campuses: Zel & Mary Lowman Elementary (8/10 per 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 close by include The Meadows School (A+), Bishop Gorman High School (A+), Faith Lutheran (A), and charter Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10). Confirm zoning for any specific address before writing an offer — boundaries can shift within the village.
What are HOA fees in The Gardens Summerlin?
Plan on $75 to $200 per month — one of the most affordable fee structures in all of Summerlin South. That figure blends the Summerlin South master-association fee with the village sub-association assessment and funds the parks, landscaped trails, and common-area maintenance at the heart of the village's design. Exact dues vary by neighborhood within The Gardens, so request the resale package during escrow to confirm the precise figure for your specific street.
What is Gardens Park and why does it matter for home values?
Gardens Park is the roughly 15-acre Summerlin community park at 10401 Garden Park Drive anchoring the village heart. It includes a playground, basketball courts, walking trails, picnic areas, open fields, and a dog park — the everyday gathering point for The Gardens neighborhood. Homes within easy walking distance of Gardens Park consistently attract the strongest buyer demand within the $450K–$750K range, and park-adjacent lots typically command a modest premium over comparable interiors in the village.
What are property taxes like in The Gardens Summerlin?
Property taxes are low by national standards. 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 $585,000 Gardens home that means approximately $2,900–$4,400 per year — a fraction of what a comparable Summerlin-South-style neighborhood carries in California, where effective rates often run 1.0–1.25% on top of 13.3% state income tax.
How does The Gardens compare to The Pueblo, Summerlin?
Both are established, accessibly priced Summerlin South villages built in the same era. The Gardens ($450K–$750K) is built around parks and green space, anchored by 15-acre Gardens Park; The Pueblo starts slightly lower around $400K with a similar early-2000s Mediterranean character and more compact lot sizes. If daily park life, Rogich Middle School zoning, and a slightly higher build quality matter most, lean Gardens; if entry price is the deciding factor, lean Pueblo. They're adjacent enough to tour both in one outing.
How does Nevada's tax climate compare to California for Gardens buyers?
The math is straightforward: California's top marginal state income tax 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 alone by relocating to The Gardens. Add Nevada's 0.5–0.75% effective property-tax rate (vs. 1.0%+ in California) with the 3% annual cap, and a $585,000 Summerlin South home carries a meaningfully lower annual tax burden than a comparable Bay Area or Southern California property.
Is The Gardens a good neighborhood for families?
Yes — families are the dominant buyer profile in The Gardens. Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 per GreatSchools) is one of the strongest in Nevada and sits in the village's zoning area. Gardens Park's playgrounds, courts, and open fields are within walking distance of most streets. The village has no through-traffic on its quieter interior blocks, and the Summerlin trail system connects directly to Red Rock Canyon. For buyers weighing Summerlin South villages, The Gardens consistently ranks among the top family picks inside the $450K–$750K band.
What is the rental market like in The Gardens Summerlin?
The Gardens has an 82% homeownership rate per community records, so long-term rentals surface regularly but never in high volume. Executive-family leases for 3–4 bedroom homes typically run $2,200–$3,200 per month, reflecting strong demand from relocating professionals and military families at nearby installations. Short-term vacation rentals are regulated by the City of Las Vegas — confirm current ordinance requirements before underwriting any STR income on a Gardens purchase, as rules and enforcement have tightened since 2023.
How far is The Gardens from Downtown Summerlin?
About 10 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — close enough to make Downtown Summerlin's 125+ shops, 40+ restaurants, Las Vegas Ballpark, and seasonal farmers market part of your weekly routine, not a special-occasion drive. The 215 Beltway is also a quick 5-minute drive from most Gardens streets, giving you fast access to the entire valley. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 28 minutes south via I-215.
Are there new construction homes available in The Gardens?
No — The Gardens built out its 2,600+ homes primarily between 1999 and the mid-2000s, and no active builder sales exist inside the village today. The market is resale only. The benefit is 25-plus years of mature landscaping and settled infrastructure at accessible Summerlin South pricing. If new construction is a priority, Summerlin's western villages — Summerlin West, The Cliffs — are actively building, and we can help you weigh new-build incentives against Gardens resale value at your budget.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in The Gardens?
Yes — call (702) 637-1759. Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1 team in Nevada with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85B+ in total sales volume. Our agents who specialize in Summerlin South know The Gardens' micro-neighborhoods street by street — park-adjacent blocks, Rogich Middle zoning boundaries, and which homes have the renovated kitchens and pools that move quickly. Whether you're relocating from California, upgrading from a starter Summerlin home, or selling after years in the village, we'll run the numbers honestly and get you across the finish line.
What down payment do I need to buy in The Gardens Summerlin?
Most Gardens buyers put down 5% to 20%. On a $585,000 median-priced home, conventional financing with 10% down means roughly $58,500 upfront plus closing costs. FHA loans allow 3.5% down for qualifying buyers — about $20,500 on that price. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans and active military, a significant advantage in a Summerlin market where all-cash competition is real. Confirm program eligibility with a lender early so your pre-approval reflects your strongest offer structure.
How long does it take to close on a home in The Gardens?
Most Gardens purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers, common at the $650K+ tier, can close in 10–14 days. Financed offers on well-priced Gardens homes move toward the 30-day end when buyers are fully pre-approved and lenders have clear-to-close capacity — a reason to have your pre-approval letter ready before the first showing, not after.
What should I know before buying in The Gardens Summerlin?
Four things matter most. First, request the HOA resale package in escrow — dues ($75–$200/mo), reserves, and any pending assessments. Second, verify school zoning for your specific address; Rogich Middle School boundaries are the most common surprise. Third, park-adjacent blocks command a premium — decide upfront whether that matters to your lifestyle. Fourth, renovated vs. original-condition homes vary widely inside the same price band; our agents can sort the inventory before you waste weekends on the wrong tours.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About The Gardens Summerlin?
These are the eight queries Gardens buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, school ratings from GreatSchools, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record.
Is The Gardens part of Summerlin South or Summerlin?
Both — The Gardens is a village within the Summerlin South Association, which is itself part of the broader Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan. For practical purposes, say "Summerlin South" for the sub-area and "Summerlin" for the full master plan umbrella.
Does The Gardens have a community pool?
The Gardens has community parks (Gardens Park is the anchor at 15 acres with sports courts, trails, and gathering areas), but a dedicated community pool is not part of the standard village amenity set. Individual homes with private pools are common — tell us if a pool is a must-have and we'll filter to those listings.
How many homes are in The Gardens Summerlin?
More than 2,600 across 420 acres, per the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan record. The village built out primarily between 1999 and the mid-2000s, so that number is effectively permanent — no new rooftops are coming.
What is the walk score for The Gardens Summerlin?
The Gardens is car-dependent for most errands, but walkable within the village to Gardens Park and along the Summerlin trail network. West Charleston Boulevard's commercial corridor is a short drive (not a comfortable walk) for groceries and services. Buyers who need to walk to a coffee shop should preview the blocks they're considering before committing.
Are there any condos in The Gardens?
The Gardens is primarily detached single-family, with some attached products at the Gardens Entry price tier. No high-rise or resort-style condos exist inside the village. Buyers looking for lock-and-leave condo living closer to the Summerlin South amenity core should look at nearby Summerlin villages or ask us about alternatives.
What is the Summerlin South Association?
The Summerlin South Association is the Howard Hughes Corporation sub-master association that governs The Gardens and neighboring Summerlin South villages. It collects a master-plan fee (part of your $75–$200 monthly HOA), enforces community standards, and manages common areas across the Summerlin South corridor.
How close is The Gardens to Red Rock Canyon?
About 12 minutes west via West Charleston Boulevard — close enough to make a weekday morning hike before work a realistic habit, not just a weekend trip. The Bureau of Land Management maintains the roughly 195,000-acre conservation area with the 13-mile scenic drive, dozens of trails, and world-class rock climbing.
What builders built homes in The Gardens?
Howard Hughes Corporation selected multiple production builders for The Gardens during its 1999–2005 buildout, including names like Kaufman and Broad (now KB Home), Beazer, and Del Webb for specific phases. Today it's all resale — no active builder sales. We can research the specific builder for any address you're considering during due diligence.
