Summerlin is the big master-planned community on the west side, right up against Red Rock Canyon, so you get trails and mountain views but you’re still connected to the rest of the valley by the 215. It’s less a single neighborhood than a whole collection of villages, each with its own personality, which means the search takes a little more legwork to find the pocket that actually fits you. What I’d tell you is don’t shop Summerlin as one place — come drive a few of the villages with me and you’ll feel the difference pretty fast.
