Community Details

Description

**Highland Hills: Elevated Living in the Stonebridge Village of Summerlin West**

Perched at the westernmost edge of the Las Vegas Valley, Highland Hills represents the pinnacle of modern suburban design within the prestigious 89138 ZIP code. Located in the **Stonebridge village of Summerlin West**, this enclave by Woodside Homes is defined by its dramatic topography, sitting at an elevation that offers both cooler temperatures and sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip to the east and the rugged escarpments of Red Rock Canyon to the west.

**Geography and Prime Location**
Highland Hills is situated in the City of Las Vegas, tucked just west of the CC-215 Beltway. The community is accessed via West Charleston Boulevard (which transitions into State Route 159) or Sky Vista Drive. Its location is a primary draw for residents who prioritize outdoor access; it is one of the closest residential developments to the Red Rock National Conservation Area.

Commuters benefit from being less than five minutes from the 215 Beltway, providing a 20-minute drive to Harry Reid International Airport and approximately 25 minutes to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. The community’s positioning “west of the trail” (the 215) places it in the most sought-after development tier of Summerlin, where the desert landscape is integrated directly into the neighborhood’s aesthetic.

**Developer, History, and Architectural Product**
Developed by **Woodside Homes**, construction in Highland Hills began around 2018 as part of the 502-acre Stonebridge village. Woodside Homes envisioned Highland Hills as a sophisticated, family-oriented neighborhood that moved away from the “beige” stucco of old Vegas toward a **Desert Contemporary** and **Modern Prairie** architectural style.

The community consists of roughly 130 all-two-story homes. There were three primary floor plans offered during the initial build:
* **The Everest, Denali, and Whitney models**, ranging from approximately **2,100 to 3,200 square feet**.
* Standard features often included 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, and 2- or 3-car garages.
* The lots in Highland Hills are thoughtfully tiered to maximize privacy and views, with many homes featuring “loggias” (covered outdoor living spaces) that facilitate the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Summerlin is known for.

**The 89138 Market and Community Value**
Since its inception, Highland Hills has seen significant appreciation, mirroring the explosive growth of Summerlin West. While original base pricing started in the high $400,000s and $500,000s, current resale values typically range from **$850,000 to over $1.1 million**, depending on lot premiums and interior upgrades.

The 89138 ZIP code consistently commands a premium due to its newer infrastructure and higher elevation. Buyers are drawn here specifically for the **gated security** and the fact that these homes feature the energy-efficient building standards (LEED-certified practices) that Woodside Homes is known for, including spray-foam insulation and high-efficiency HVAC systems.

**Amenities, Lifestyle, and Education**
Life in Highland Hills centers around the **Stonebridge Park**, a 12-acre village centerpiece located just a short walk or bike ride from the gated entrance. This park features:
* Lighted pickleball courts (a major draw for local residents).
* Full-sized soccer fields and a basketball court.
* A shaded playground and multiple picnic pavilions.
* Direct access to the Summerlin Trail System, which eventually connects to over 150 miles of trails.

The lifestyle here is active and professional. It is common to see residents morning-hiking in nearby Fox Hill Park or cycling toward the Red Rock loop.

**Education:** Highland Hills is served by some of the highest-rated schools in the Clark County School District (CCSD). The current zoning includes:
* **Linda Givens Elementary School** (highly decorated for academic excellence).
* **Sig Rogich Middle School**.
* **Palo Verde High School**.
* Nearby private options include **The Meadows School**, **Alexander Dawson**, and **Bishop Gorman High School**, all within a 10-to-15-minute drive.

**Retail, Dining, and Entertainment**
Residents are less than 10 minutes from **Downtown Summerlin**, the valley’s premier outdoor shopping and dining destination. This hub features over 125 stores, the **Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa**, and **City National Arena** (practice facility for the Vegas Golden Knights). For daily necessities, the **Albertsons at Vistas Village** and the **Costco on Marks Street** are the primary go-to spots. Dining options nearby range from the upscale **Vintner Grill** to the local favorite **7th & Carson** or **Public School 702**.

**What Makes Highland Hills Unique?**
The distinguishing feature of Highland Hills is its **visual drama**. Unlike the flatter subdivisions of the central valley, Highland Hills embraces the natural slope of the foothills. This results in “view lots” that are rare in this price point—where one can watch the sunrise over the city lights from a second-story balcony while having the sandstone peaks of Red Rock as a backyard silhouette. It offers a “custom-lite” feel within a production-home price bracket, making it one of the most resilient micro-markets in Southern Nevada.
