Las Vegas Real Estate - Summerlin History

Summerlin, Las Vegas Life The Summerlin Story

In the early 1950s, the legendary Howard R. Hughes, Jr. acquired a sprawling piece of land located along the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley - well outside the Las Vegas city limits. Hughes intended to build a research laboratory for Hughes Aircraft on the site, but his plan never came to fruition. In 1985, the property passed intact to The Howard Hughes Corporation. Then, in 1988, a bold plan for the property was announced: the creation of the master-planned community of Summerlin.

Summerlin has since become home to over a million Southern Nevadans who enjoy an unparalleled quality of life within one of the country’s most dynamic and exciting cities. As the nation’s best-selling master-planned community for a decade, Summerlin has earned its position as “America’s community.”

The Howard Hughes Corporation spent more than three years developing a community master plan that is now a reality. The result is the stunning, highly functional and vibrant community of Summerlin – a multi-generational community, abounds with parks, trails, sports fields, golf courses and natural open areas. The community boasts more educational choices than any other in Las Vegas with nearly two dozen public and private schools, as well as four institutions of higher learning.  Summerlin has also become home to an increasing number of national and local businesses that choose to make it a place to work as well as live. With state-of-the-art medical services, houses of worship representing a variety of faiths, a growing array of retail, dining, entertainment and cultural facilities that rank as the best in the Las Vegas Valley, Summerlin has set the standard for master-plan living both locally and nationwide. So, by investing in both the community’s physical and social infrastructure,The Howard Hughes Corporation has ensured that Summerlin will continue its evolution as a community for the 21st century.
