Description
While the ZIP code 89011 is historically and geographically anchored in the Henderson/Lake Las Vegas corridor, the community of **Summerlin North** serves as the prestigious “Old Guard” and the literal foundation of the Summerlin master-planned vision, primarily encompassing the **89134** ZIP code.
Often referred to as “The Heart of Summerlin,” Summerlin North is where the Howard Hughes Corporation first transformed the barren Mojave desert into the nation’s premier master-planned community. It remains the most lush, established, and architecturally diverse segment of the valley.
The Original Vision: Geography and History
Summerlin North is situated in the western foothills of the Las Vegas Valley, bounded roughly by Cheyenne Avenue to the north, Summerlin Parkway to the south, the CC-215 Beltway to the west, and Rampart Boulevard to the east. It sits at an elevation of approximately 2,600 to 3,000 feet, providing noticeably cooler temperatures and cleaner air than the valley floor.
Construction began in the late 1980s and surged through the 1990s. This was the first phase of the Summerlin build-out, starting with **The Hills** and **The Trails** villages. Unlike the newer, high-density developments in Summerlin West, Summerlin North was designed with a “landscape-first” philosophy. Decades later, the community is defined by soaring pine trees, wide parkways, and a mature tree canopy that is rare in Southern Nevada.
Exclusive Enclaves and Architectural Diversity
Summerlin North is a tapestry of “villages,” each with a distinct character. The housing product here ranges from entry-level condos to some of the most expensive custom estates in the world.
* **The Hills and The Hills South:** Home to the prestigious **Tournament Hills**, a guard-gated enclave featuring massive custom estates that overlook the TPC Summerlin golf course. These homes often exceed 10,000 square feet and feature Mediterranean and French Country architecture.
* **The Trails:** Known for its “wilderness” feel, this village features a mix of production homes by builders like **Pulte** and **Christopher Homes**. The Trails is famous for its 27-acre park and hidden walking paths.
* **Eagle Hills and Country Club Hills:** These are elite, guard-gated neighborhoods where you will find classic desert contemporary designs and grand traditional estates. **Christopher Homes** was a dominant builder here, known for their high ceilings and timeless “California-style” luxury.
* **Canyon Fairways:** A luxury guard-gated neighborhood located near the TPC Las Vegas course, featuring custom homes with expansive lot sizes (often 0.30 to 0.50 acres).
HOA fees in Summerlin North typically include the master association fee (approx. $55/month) plus specific sub-association fees that can range from $150 to over $600 for guard-gated luxury enclaves.
The Epicenter of Golf and Recreation
What distinguishes Summerlin North from any other neighborhood in Nevada is its concentration of world-class golf.
* **TPC Summerlin:** A private par-72 course designed by Bobby Weed. It is the permanent home of the PGA Tour’s Shriners Children’s Open, where Tiger Woods recorded his first professional victory.
* **TPC Las Vegas:** A public “desert-elegance” course that serves as a PGA Tour destination.
* **Sun City Summerlin Golf:** While Sun City is an age-restricted community, its three courses (Highland Falls, Palm Valley, and Eagle Crest) weave through the fabric of Summerlin North, providing vast greenbelts for residents.
The community is anchored by **The Trails Park** and the **Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Center**, which hosts local theater and cultural events. The village is also home to the **Summerlin Council** headquarters, the governing body that organizes the massive annual Patriotic Parade on July 4th.
Lifestyle, Education, and Retail
Summerlin North attracts a mix of high-net-worth professionals, multigenerational families, and retirees. The lifestyle is centered on outdoor activity; the community features over 150 miles of the Summerlin Trail System, which allows residents to walk from their homes to shopping centers without crossing major intersections.
**Education:**
The area is served by some of the highest-rated schools in the Clark County School District, including **Linda Givens Elementary**, **Staton Elementary**, **Sig Rogich Middle School**, and the flagship **Palo Verde High School**. Additionally, the prestigious **Adelson Educational Campus** (private) and **Meadows School** are within a 5-10 minute drive.
**Retail and Dining:**
Residents don’t have to travel to the Strip for luxury experiences. **Trails Village Center** is the neighborhood’s hub, featuring a flagship Vons, Starbucks, and local favorites like **Egg Works** and **Luv-It Frozen Custard**. Five minutes south lies **Downtown Summerlin**, offering over 125 stores, the Las Vegas Ballpark (home of the Aviators), and the City National Arena (practice facility for the Vegas Golden Knights).
Why Summerlin North?
The market in Summerlin North is consistently tight. While Summerlin West (89138) offers brand-new construction, buyers seek out Summerlin North for its **larger lot sizes, mature landscaping, and established prestige**.
Prices in 89134 range from the mid-$400,000s for townhomes to over $15 million for custom estates in Tournament Hills. Because this area is largely “built-out,” there is no risk of new construction obstructing views or creating industrial noise. It is the finished product—a serene, green, and highly secure oasis that remains the gold standard for Las Vegas living.
