The Hills village in Summerlin North, on the west side of Las Vegas, is the original village of the Summerlin master plan. Construction began in 1990 — the same year the first leg of Summerlin Parkway was completed to Town Center Drive — and in March 1991 the first Summerlin residents moved in. Every village that followed, every trail, every championship golf course, every school, traces its origins back here. Homes were built between 1990 and 2000. Three decades of homeowner investment, the deepest tree canopy in Summerlin North, and a sense of settled community character that is simply not available anywhere else in the master plan.
Summerlin's First Village — Where the Master Plan Began
The Howard Hughes Corporation built The Hills Park before a single home was sold — a founding commitment that defined the Summerlin master plan's philosophy for every village that followed. The Hills Park, opened in 1990, was the first park in all of Summerlin. William R. Lummis Elementary School, the first public school in the master plan, opened within the village shortly after. The amphitheater at The Hills Park hosted the earliest community events in Summerlin history. For buyers who want the most established address in Summerlin North on the west side of Las Vegas — the deepest roots, the most mature landscaping, the streets that have been walked and cycled for more than three decades — The Hills is the answer.
Tom and Serena Heuser — Personal Connection to The Hills
Tom and Serena lived in The Hills village for six years as part of their more than 22 years as Summerlin residents. Their children attended William R. Lummis Elementary School and Ernest A. Becker Middle School, both located within the village steps from The Hills Park. The rhythm of The Hills as a daily address, the walks to school, the weekend mornings on the trail, the neighborhood bonds, are not details Tom and Serena know from a brochure. They lived them. Tom and Serena's in-laws also called the area home for years, residing in Sun City Summerlin, the 55-plus master community neighboring The Hills to the north with three golf courses and four recreation centers. You can learn more about all of Summerlin's age-restricted options on our Summerlin 55-plus communities page.

The Neighborhoods of The Hills
The Hills contains 13 established neighborhoods, all built between 1990 and 2000. Mediterranean-inspired and Southwestern architectural styles predominate — tile roofs, stucco exteriors, covered patios, vaulted ceilings, and generous lot sizes that reflect early Summerlin design standards. One gated community, Belaire Estates, provides a private option within the village.
Belaire Estates
Gated
The only gated community within The Hills village. Homes range from approximately 2,330 to over 3,000 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms, a private community park, and controlled access. Belaire Estates draws buyers who want a gated address within the most historically significant village in Summerlin North — the established character of The Hills combined with the additional privacy of a gated entry. A consistent performer on resale due to limited inventory and a loyal buyer pool.
Hillpointe, Panorama Pointe, Visions, Copper Ridge
Non-Gated
Four of The Hills' most recognized non-gated single-family neighborhoods, each with mature landscaping and an established resale track record. Panorama Pointe benefits from the elevated terrain that gives portions of The Hills broader views across the valley. Copper Ridge has direct trail system connectivity. Visions offers a strong mix of single and two-story floor plans. Hillpointe is among the most consistently sought-after addresses in the village for buyers who prioritize location within The Hills specifically.
Cherry Creek, Willow Tree, Evergreen, Serenata
Non-Gated
Four established mid-range neighborhoods that form the backbone of The Hills' resale market. Homes span a range of sizes and floor plans built across the 1990s, all sharing the wide tree-lined streets, bike lanes, and pedestrian paths that define The Hills as a community on the west side of Las Vegas. Mature landscaping throughout — the kind that takes three decades to earn and cannot be manufactured in a newer community.
Cypress, Las Colinas, Amarante
Non-Gated
Three additional established neighborhoods rounding out The Hills' offering across a range of floor plans and price points. Each shares direct access to the village trail network, The Hills Park, and the walkable school corridor anchored by Lummis Elementary and Becker Middle School — giving these neighborhoods the same fundamental location advantages as every other address in Summerlin North's original village.
Parks, Schools, and Village Infrastructure
The Hills Park — 7.29 Acres — Summerlin's First Park
Opened in 1990 as the first park built in the Summerlin master plan — before the first homes were sold. Features a large central picnic pavilion, open lawn amphitheater and stage, children's play area, two lighted tennis courts, sand volleyball court, half baseball diamond, and seven picnic ramadas. Located at the geographic heart of the village, directly flanked by Lummis Elementary and Becker Middle School. The amphitheater has hosted Summerlin community events since the earliest days of the master plan.
William R. Lummis Elementary School
The first public school in the Summerlin master plan, located within The Hills village adjacent to The Hills Park. A Clark County School District elementary school named for William R. Lummis, the cousin and business partner of Howard Hughes who helped oversee the Hughes estate and the early planning of Summerlin. Tom and Serena's children attended Lummis during the family's six years living in The Hills.
Ernest A. Becker Middle School
A Clark County School District middle school located within The Hills village, directly adjacent to Lummis Elementary and The Hills Park. Named for Ernest Becker, a key figure in the early Howard Hughes Corporation. The Lummis-Becker corridor, two schools flanking a 7.29-acre park in the same village, is the most walkable school configuration in Summerlin North. Tom and Serena's children attended Becker before transferring to Sig Rogich Middle School and advancing to Palo Verde High School.
Adelson Educational Campus
A private K through 12 school within The Hills village and the only Jewish day school in Nevada. Offers a dual curriculum combining general and Jewish studies across all grade levels, with competitive academics, arts programs, and athletics. One of the most distinctive private school options in the Las Vegas Valley and a meaningful factor for families drawn to this village specifically for its educational options.

Buying or Selling in The Hills
The Hills is the most established village in Summerlin North, but established does not mean uniform. A 1991 home on a larger lot prices differently from a 1998 build on a smaller lot two streets away. Belaire Estates has a different buyer pool than an open-street Hillpointe resale. Age, condition, lot size, renovation quality, and neighborhood position all carry meaningful weight in a village where buyers are specifically choosing character and maturity over new construction. Zip code averages will not price your home correctly here.
For Buyers
Tom and Serena lived in The Hills for six years. They know which streets deliver the strongest long-term value, which neighborhoods have the deepest tree canopy, which floor plans have aged best, and what distinguishes this village from every other address in Summerlin North on the west side of Las Vegas. Serena will tell you exactly what she thinks before you sign anything, even when it is not what you want to hear.
For Sellers
Pricing a Hills home correctly requires understanding vintage, condition, lot size, and neighborhood positioning in a village with wide variance across all four. Tom's 99% list-to-sale ratio, calculated from the original list price, is built on neighborhood-level precision and not zip code averages. He lived here. He knows which comparables to use and which to ignore. Learn more about selling with Tom.
