Summerlin is a prosperous master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley of Southern Nevada. It lies on the edge of the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon to the west; partly within the official city limits of Las Vegas and partly within the unrelated Clark County. This rapidly growing community occupies over 22,500 hectares and according to its developers, "has grown to include over 230 parks, over two dozen public and private schools, 14 worship houses, nine golf courses, three resort hotels, world-class recreational facilities, retail and entertainment centers, established office parks, state-of-the-art medical centers, and more. "

The community is divided into three associations (North, South, and West), which oversees two dozen commercial villages and settlements.

At the time of the 2010 census, the Summerlin population was nearly 100,000, having risen from 59,000 in 2000. With an average annual household income of $ 139,061, Summerlin is also one of the most prosperous communities in Nevada. The community has received national recognition of its facilities and quality of life. In particular, it was named "# 1 the best place to live and play" by National Geographic Adventure in 2007 and one of the Best Places to Stay in America by Money Money Magazine by 2014.

Summerlin is named after Jean Amelia Summerlin, the grandmother of billionaire developer Howard Hughes. Howard Hughes Corporation retains planned community ownership, along with Downtown Summerlin (major shopping, dining and entertainment) and Las Vegas Ballpark (the future home of the Las Vegas 51s small league baseball team).

History

In 1952, renowned film director, aviator, and casino boss Howard Hughes bought 25,000 acres (10,000 acres) of land in Southern Nevada, making it the largest landowner of the Las Vegas Valley. Despite his initial intentions, he finally chose not to move his company to Nevada, so the purchased land remained undeveloped and empty for decades. After Hughes died of kidney failure in 1976, Summa Corporation was organized by his heirs to oversee his vast business empire and land ownership. In 1988, the company announced that it would develop vacant land into a planned commercial and residential community. They named the project "Summerlin", after Hughes's grandmother, Jean Amelia Summerlin.

In preparation for this large-scale development, Summa Corporation entered into an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management, where they trade 5,000 hectares of environmentally sensitive land for 3000 hectares of land more suitable for development. Once these environmental issues are addressed, construction begins. By the end of 1990, the construction of the settlement villages, parks, and Summerlin's first school had been completed. In 1994, Summa Corporation renamed Howard Hughes Corporation and continued to develop the new Summerlin village.

New home construction continues to boom through the turn of the century. From 1997 to 2007, Summerlin has been consistently ranked as the # 1 community in the country for new home sales. The big recession caused a temporary slowdown in construction, but the signs of revival became very clear in 2014, when Downtown Summerlin opened, carrying 106 hectares of shopping, dining, and entertainment for Summerlin residents. Housing development has also seen a big revival after the recession, and by 2016, Summerlin once again became one of the top communities in America for the sale of new homes.

Summerlin is still a thriving community. By 2018, more than two dozen commercial and residential villages have been built, with more than 6,000 acres still available for future development.
