Best 55+ Communities in Summerlin

Although Summerlin is a sprawling master plan with over 100,000 residents, many know it to be one of the premier retirement destinations in the U.S. Conveniently located west of the famous Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, many active adult homes in Summerlin offer premium lifestyle amenities and also amazing views of the Red Rock Mountains, and that's only scratching the surface of its appeal and desirability. So if you're an empty-nester and planning to be in the market for a new place to call home, take a closer look at just some of Summerlin's best active adult communities below.

Prices start in the high $400s, and residents have a handful of floorplans from which to choose, as well as the option to add a casita to the home.
