The only major gated 55+ community under $400K entry price in Las Vegas. Lowest all-in monthly cost of any gated option. Right for buyers who need the gate but can't justify Siena's $350/month HOA or Trilogy's $475/month.
24/7 guard gate, 18-hole golf, Lake Siena, Summerlin location. More expensive than Ardiente (~$130/mo more HOA) but delivers significantly more — and the Summerlin location is preferred by most buyers.
354 homes, 2014–2020 construction, resort finishes. Premium-tier gated at $475/month HOA. Right only for high-equity buyers who want the market's best product regardless of cost.
Not gated but delivers more clubs, more rec centers, and more golf than any gated option. For buyers who don't specifically need a gate, Summerlin's value is unmatched.
