Las Vegas Retirement Communities With Walking Trails

Whether it's from the huge influx of people moving from California or from cold weather cities from across the world, Las Vegas is quickly becoming one of the top retirement destinations in the U.S. The dry desert climate, the affordability compared to other retirement destinations, and the world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment truly make it a one-of-a-kind place to spend your golden years, and it seems the secret is definitely out. 

Most active adult communities in Las Vegas offer ample indoor spaces for activities like exercise, crafts, and gatherings when the weather is hot, as well as hiking, walking, and biking trails for when the weather is more amenable. For retirees, though, the opportunity to move into a community that’s close to walking trails is a big bonus. So here is a closer look at just a few Las Vegas retirement communities with walking trails.

Trilogy Sunstone

Trilogy Sunstone is a 55+ community located in northwest Las Vegas that offers its residents resort-style living and a location that’s close to many opportunities for outdoor adventures. Trilogy residents have access to the exclusive Cabochon Club, which offers beautiful green spaces, gathering areas, and a resort-style pool on the property.

Outdoor sporting options include pickleball, bocce ball, the resort pool, and several community parks. Residents participate in yoga in the gardens, as well as visit with their families amongst the beautiful shade trees. The community has several miles of multi-surface trails, including a 200-meter loop for speed runs and timed workouts.

Sun City Summerlin

One of the unique features of Sun City in the community of Summerlin is that it sits at an elevation of 3,000 feet, which affords its residents beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and nearby Las Vegas. Sun City is the most extensive 55+ development in the state and is full of outdoor recreational areas. Residents have access to three golf courses and four clubhouses.

Price points for homes at Sun City Summerlin are incredibly varied, with residences in the $300s rising all the way to $1M+. One of the benefits for residents who enjoy walking outside their homes is the air quality, which improves at elevations of 3,000 feet and above. Homeowners who like to spend a lot of time outside can enjoy the cooler temperatures of the higher elevations of the region.

Siena

Homes in the 55+ community of Siena are offered from the low $400s to the mid $1Ms. Homes were constructed between 2000 and 2006 by the Sunrise Colony Company. The community has more than its fair share of amenities, with a 39,000-square-foot community center, as well as multiple venues for cards, ceramics, music, sewing, and other activities.

Nature lovers will adore the focus on natural spaces and parks, like the scenic ponds and the walking & biking trails that travel throughout the neighborhood. Other health & fitness-oriented amenities include courts for bocce ball, pickleball, and horseshoes, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor lap pool, and a spa. The community also sits right next to the Siena Golf Club, which is an 18-hole, par-72 course.
