Frequently Asked Questions
Which neighborhoods in The Paseos are considered luxury estates?
The premier luxury sub-communities within The Paseos include Santaluz and Traccia, both of which are guard-gated for maximum privacy. Other high-end neighborhoods like Los Altos, Altura, and Savona offer large semi-custom estate homes built by Toll Brothers and Woodside Homes, often featuring square footage between 3,500 and 5,000 square feet on oversized lots.
What makes the location of The Paseos unique compared to other Summerlin villages?
The Paseos is situated at one of the highest elevations in the Las Vegas Valley, reaching approximately 3,000 feet. This height provides temperatures that are typically 5 to 10 degrees cooler than the valley floor and offers dramatic, unobstructed views of Red Rock Canyon to the west and the Las Vegas Strip to the east.
What amenities are available to residents of The Paseos?
Residents have access to the 12-acre Paseos Park, featuring soccer fields, basketball courts, and a splash pad, as well as the award-winning Fox Hill Park with its unique climbing structures and zip lines.

Description
The Paseos: Elevated Luxury and Red Rock Vistas in the Peaks of Summerlin
While the central corridors of Summerlin North (89134) established the foundational “look and feel” of the master-planned community, it is the village known as **The Paseos** that elevated the brand—literally and figuratively. Positioned as the premier luxury extension of the Summerlin North corridor, The Paseos occupies one of the highest elevations in the Las Vegas Valley. Situated primarily west of the CC-215 Beltway and north of Far Hills Avenue, this 768-acre village serves as a masterclass in modern desert architecture and lifestyle-centric planning.
Location and Elevated Geography
The Paseos is defined by its dramatic topography. Nestled against the foothills of the Red Rock National Conservation Area, the community sits at an elevation of roughly 3,000 feet. This height provides a “dual-view” advantage: to the west, the jagged crimson peaks of Red Rock Canyon loom as a permanent backyard; to the east, the community offers unobstructed panoramas of the Las Vegas Strip.
Residents enjoy a unique microclimate here—temperatures are often 5 to 7 degrees cooler than the valley floor during the summer months. Strategically located with immediate access to the CC-215 via Far Hills Avenue or Charleston Boulevard, The Paseos is roughly 20 minutes from the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport, yet it feels worlds away from the neon lights of the city.
Development History and Architectural Vision
Construction in The Paseos began in 2003 under the master development of the **Howard Hughes Corporation**. The vision was a departure from the Mediterranean “stucco-and-tile” sea that dominated early 90s Vegas. Instead, the Howard Hughes team and builders like **Toll Brothers**, **Woodside Homes**, **Pulte**, **Lennar**, and **KB Home** implemented a “Hacienda-Mission” and “Desert Contemporary” aesthetic.
The village was built in phases, with the initial “lower” Paseos (closer to the 215) featuring more traditional family floor plans, while the later “upper” tiers—communities like **Santaluz** and **Montecito**—pushed the envelope with semi-custom luxury estates. The architectural guidelines enforced here emphasize earth tones, stone accents, and deep overhangs to blend seamlessly with the Mojave landscape.
The Housing Product: Luxury Estates and Gated Enclaves
The Paseos is home to 28 distinct neighborhoods, but its “Luxury Estates” are primarily found in its guard-gated and gated enclaves.
* **Santaluz and Montecito (Toll Brothers):** These are the crown jewels of the village, featuring sprawling single-story and two-story luxury homes ranging from 2,500 to over 5,000 square feet. Many of these properties feature “casitas,” internal courtyards, and massive “pocket doors” that create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
* **Savona (Woodside Homes):** A highly sought-after gated pocket featuring contemporary floor plans with modern finishes and “Next Gen” living options.
* **Coronado:** For those seeking luxury with less maintenance, these upscale condos offer resort-style living within the village’s higher reaches.
HOA fees in The Paseos typically consist of a Summerlin West Master Association fee (approx. $55/month) plus a sub-association fee for gated neighborhoods, which can range from $150 to $300 monthly, depending on amenities and security levels.
The Lifestyle: Parks, Trails, and “Paseo” Living
The community’s name is its defining feature. A “paseo” is a Spanish walkway or trail, and this village is anchored by a massive linear trail system that connects every home to the community’s parks and schools without ever crossing a major street.
The social hubs are **The Paseos Park** (12.5 acres), which features a splash pad, sand volleyball, and soccer fields, and the newer **Fox Hill Park** (18 acres). Fox Hill is widely considered the most innovative “adventure park” in Nevada, featuring a 32-foot climbing tower (the Orange Beast), zip lines, and disk golf, making it a magnet for active families and high-net-worth professionals.
Schools and Local Amenities
Education is a primary driver for the 89134/89138 border region. The Paseos is served by some of the highest-rated schools in the Clark County School District:
* **Elementary:** Linda Rankin Givens or the in-village Vassiliadis Elementary.
* **Middle:** Sig Rogich Middle School.
* **High School:** Palo Verde High School.
* **Private Options:** The community is minutes away from **Faith Lutheran Academy** and **The Meadows School**, two of the most prestigious private institutions in the state.
For retail and dining, residents are less than 10 minutes from **Downtown Summerlin**, the valley’s premier outdoor shopping and entertainment district. This provides easy access to the **Las Vegas Ballpark** (home of the Aviators) and **City National Arena** (the training facility for the Vegas Golden Knights). For grocery needs, a high-end Smith’s Marketplace is located at the nearby Skye Canyon corridor, while a Whole Foods and Sprouts are within the immediate 89134/89138 vicinity.
Why The Paseos Stands Out
The Paseos is distinct because it represents the “Modern Summerlin.” It offers a higher elevation and a more contemporary architectural palette than the original villages of the 1990s like The Trails or The Hills. For the buyer who wants to be at the edge of the wilderness while remaining five minutes from a Michelin-level dinner in Downtown Summerlin, The Paseos Luxury Estates remain the gold standard of West Las Vegas living.
