Homes for Sale in Sun City Summerlin
Del Webb’s original active adult community in Las Vegas, an age qualified community for residents 55 and older, built around three golf courses and several recreation centers inside Summerlin.
What Sun City Summerlin Is Actually Like
The short version, then the details.
Sun City Summerlin is the community that brought Del Webb’s active adult concept to Las Vegas, and it set the standard for the ones that followed.
It opened in 1989 as the first Sun City in the valley, an age qualified community for residents 55 and older, built by Del Webb on the northern edge of what became Summerlin. From the start it was planned around golf, recreation centers, and an active social calendar built for retirees and near retirees.
I have been in Las Vegas since I was five, and Sun City Summerlin is a name people across the country know. For a lot of buyers moving here for retirement, it is the first community they look at, and often the one they measure the others against.
It is a large, established community of single family homes, all within an age restricted setting, with amenities most neighborhoods cannot match.
