Downtown Summerlin: Live, Shop, Play - All in One Place
Downtown Summerlin
Downtown Summerlin changed everything about suburban living when it opened in 2014. This 106-acre development isn’t your typical strip mall – it’s Las Vegas’s answer to the walkable urban districts you’d find in San Diego or Denver. Over 125 stores and restaurants, anchored by Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Dillard’s, plus Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods for daily needs.
The game-changer is One Summerlin – luxury condos right above the action. Residents take the elevator down to dinner, walk to Aviators games at Las Vegas Ballpark, catch movies at Regal Cinemas, and never touch their car keys on weekends. On game nights, the whole area buzzes with families walking to the stadium, couples heading to dinner, and friends meeting for drinks.
This attracts two main buyer types: empty nesters selling their 4,000-square-foot Summerlin homes who want to downsize but stay in the community, and young professionals who want that urban lifestyle without Strip chaos. Property values have climbed steadily since 2014, and the constant foot traffic makes investment properties here particularly attractive.
Summerlin Centre
Summerlin’s business hub where many residents actually work – office buildings, medical complexes, shops, and housing from condos to single-family homes. Skip the commute to the Strip or downtown. First-time buyers find affordable condos here, while families appreciate being minutes from work instead of fighting I-215 traffic twice daily.
