Description
**The Crown Jewel of Summerlin North: A Deep Dive into The Hills South Village**
In the tapestry of the Las Vegas Valley’s master-planned communities, few threads shine with as much prestige and architectural significance as The Hills South Village. Nestled within the northern quadrant of Summerlin (primarily in the 89134 ZIP code, though often associated with the luxury corridor leading into the Northwest), The Hills South represents the “Golden Era” of Summerlin development. It is a community defined by its championship golf vistas, elevation changes, and some of the most exclusive guard-gated enclaves in Southern Nevada.
1. Geography and Prime Location
The Hills South Village is situated in the City of Las Vegas, positioned just north of Summerlin Centre and south of The Hills Village. Its boundaries are roughly defined by Summerlin Parkway to the north, Lake Mead Boulevard to the south, Rampart Boulevard to the east, and Town Center Drive to the west.
The location is unparalleled for commuters and professionals. It sits immediately adjacent to the Summerlin Parkway, providing a “straight shot” to US-95 and the I-15. Residents can reach the Las Vegas Strip or Harry Reid International Airport in approximately 20 minutes. Furthermore, its proximity to the CC-215 Beltway allows for rapid access to the master-planned amenities of Summerlin West and the high-end retail of Downtown Summerlin.
2. Developer History and Vision
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation in the mid-to-late 1990s, The Hills South was envisioned as the “Country Club” village of Summerlin North. While the original Hills Village focused on established family parks and the Summerlin Library, The Hills South was designed to integrate luxury residential living with the rugged beauty of the desert arroyos and the lush fairways of a professional-grade golf course. Construction began in earnest in 1995, and the village was largely completed by the early 2000s, creating a mature, tree-lined aesthetic that newer developments often lack.
3. Housing Product and Architectural Diversity
The Hills South is not a monolithic subdivision; it is a collection of distinct neighborhoods ranging from upscale production homes to massive custom estates.
* **Tournament Hills:** The “billionaire’s row” of Summerlin North. This ultra-exclusive, guard-gated enclave features custom-built mansions that can exceed 15,000 square feet on sprawling lots overlooking the TPC Las Vegas.
* **Country Club Hills:** Built primarily by Christopher Homes, this guard-gated neighborhood features “The Eagle Rock” collection, known for its timeless Mediterranean and Desert Contemporary styles with square footages ranging from 3,000 to over 5,000.
* **Corta Bella:** A distinct, gated community featuring luxury homes by Coleman Homes. These are recognized by their grand entryways and oversized lots, often featuring 3,500 to 5,000 square feet of living space.
* **Terracina and Eagle Rock:** These neighborhoods offer semi-custom and high-end production options that appeal to those seeking the Summerlin lifestyle with slightly more manageable footprints.
HOA fees vary by subdivision, typically ranging from $150 to over $500 per month for the guard-gated sectors, covering 24/7 security, common area landscaping, and park maintenance.
4. Price History and Market Trends
Historically, The Hills South has been one of the most stable real estate investments in Clark County. During its inception, homes in neighborhoods like Corta Bella were priced in the $400,000s. Today, those same properties trade between $1.2 million and $2.5 million. In the custom-tier of Tournament Hills, prices routinely exceed $5 million, with trophy estates occasionally testing the $15 million+ mark. Buyers are drawn here because the village is “built out,” meaning no new construction will dilute the views or increase density, preserving long-term property values.
5. Amenities: Golf and Green Space
The heartbeat of the village is **TPC Las Vegas** (formerly TPC at The Canyons). This par-71 public/resort course is a PGA Tour venue and provides a stunning backdrop for the majority of the homes in the village.
For recreation beyond the links, **The Hills Park** serves as the community’s social hub. It features a large outdoor amphitheater that hosts “Symphony at Sunset” and other Summerlin Council events, along with lighted tennis courts, sand volleyball, and a massive children’s play area. The village is also home to the **Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Center**, adding a cultural layer rarely found within residential subdivisions.
6. Lifestyle and Education
The resident profile of The Hills South is a blend of established professionals, gaming executives, and retirees who value privacy and quiet over the “hustle” of the Strip. It is common to see neighbors walking the extensive trail system that connects The Hills South to the Trails Village to the north.
The community is served by some of the highest-rated schools in the Clark County School District (CCSD):
* **Elementary:** William R. Lummis Elementary
* **Middle:** Ernest Becker Middle School
* **High School:** Palo Verde High School
* **Private Options:** The prestigious **Adelson Educational Campus** and **Meadows School** are just a short drive away.
7. Nearby Retail and Dining
Residents are less than five minutes from **The Trails Village Center**, which houses a Smith’s Food & Drug, Starbucks, and local favorites like *Village Pub* and *Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen*. For high-end dining and luxury shopping, the village is a 10-minute drive from **Downtown Summerlin**, **Tivoli Village**, and **Boca Park**, home to upscale retailers like Neiman Marcus Last Call and acclaimed restaurants like *Echo & Rig*.
8. What Makes It Unique?
The distinguishing feature of The Hills South is its **topography**. Unlike the flat “grid” layouts of many Las Vegas neighborhoods, The Hills South utilizes the natural elevation changes of the “canyons.” This results in tiered home sites that offer “stacked” views—where one can see the green of the TPC course, the red rocks of the Spring Mountains, and the neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip all from a single balcony. It remains the quintessential “Old Money” pocket of Summerlin, offering a level of prestige and mature landscaping that defines the pinnacle of Las Vegas suburban living.
