There’s a piece of dirt on the north side of Mountain Run Drive that nobody’s talking about yet.

Ninety-nine lots. Big single-story homes. Two million dollars and up. It opens in November — and if you go looking for it online right now, you’ll find almost nothing.

That’s the thing about a brand-new Summerlin village. By the time the information is public, the good lots are already spoken for.

Summerlin is getting ready to put on its next big show. Eleven communities. Six builders. Prices from the low $700s to $3 million and up.

And almost nobody is telling you which one is which.

Here’s what usually happens. You spend a Saturday driving Mountain Run Drive, you walk three model homes, and by the third one you can’t remember which community had the casita and which one had the two-car garage that’s going to become a problem in about eighteen months. Everything blurs. Everyone is lovely. Nobody tells you who the house is actually for.

So this isn’t a list of eleven builders in a row. I’ve sorted them by buyer — so you know which ones are worth your Saturday, and which ones aren’t your fit.

What Is La Madre Peaks?

The newest village in Summerlin West, sitting at some of the highest elevation in the Las Vegas Valley. That’s the whole story of this place. Mountains, valley, and from the right lots, the Strip glittering away at you from about fifteen miles out.

The design language is Palm Springs — mid-century lines, low-pitched and asymmetrical rooflines, big windows, indoor-outdoor living, desert landscaping. Summerlin didn’t used to build like this. The rooflines got squarer village by village and now here we are, fully committed. If you’ve walked Esplanade at Red Rock, you already know the palette.

And here’s the honest tradeoff, because somebody should say it out loud: this is the far western edge. The views are extraordinary. The drive to the airport, the Strip, or the medical corridor is longer than it is from the villages east of here. If you’re out here for the view, that’s a trade worth making with your eyes open. If you’re crossing town five days a week, drive it at 8am on a Tuesday before you sign anything.

Which La Madre Peaks Communities Are Single-Story?

If you’re done with stairs, this is your group. And this village is unusually generous about it — three distinct price points, all on one floor.

Esplanade at Red Rock (Taylor Morrison) — Open Now

Gated, entirely single-story, and the largest community in the village: just under 400 homes, attached and detached, across roughly 88 acres. Twelve floor plans, nine of them modeled, ranging from about 1,500 to 3,400 square feet. Two to five bedrooms. Some plans include golf cart garages, which tells you exactly who Taylor Morrison built this for. Pricing starts in the low $700s.

This is where I spend most of my time out here, and I’ve walked every modeled plan on camera.

Who it’s for: The Next Chapter buyer who wants the lock-and-leave life without giving up the address. It’s the most accessible way into this village, and it’s the one with actual finished streets you can walk today.

Cactus Bloom (Richmond American) — Coming This Summer, Pre-Selling Now

Now this one has a story, and it’s the kind of thing you only notice if you’ve been watching this valley for a couple of decades.

This is Richmond American’s Aspire collection — their best-selling single-story product. And for years, they’ve built it everywhere. Northwest. Southwest. Henderson. Everywhere except Summerlin.

That’s changed. And the presales are telling you exactly what happens when a proven floor plan finally lands in the zip code people have been asking for it in. They’ve been strong. Nobody who watches this market is surprised.

Three single-story plans, and these are not small: roughly 3,470 to 4,000 square feet. Four to five bedrooms, three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half baths, three-car garages. Pricing starts in the low $1.7 millions. Some of these lots sit high enough to see the Strip, and the cul-de-sac at the entry is one of the nicer enclave layouts going in out here.

Who it’s for: Someone who wants one floor and is not downsizing by a single square foot. Family coming through, a home office that’s actually an office, room for the life you still have. If that’s you, understand where you’re standing — the presale buyers already picked their lots.

Agave Ridge (Tri Pointe) — Opening November 2026

Ninety-nine lots on about 29.45 acres, north side of Mountain Run Drive. This is the one I opened with.

Here’s what I can tell you that isn’t on a website yet: this one is going to be in the vein of Sandalwood. Big single-story homes, starting around $2 million.

If you know Sandalwood, you know why that matters. That community moved — and it moved because there is a genuine shortage of large single-story product at that level in this valley. Everybody wants one floor. Almost nobody wants to trade away square footage to get it. Builders have been slow to solve that, and the ones who do tend to sell out quietly before most buyers ever hear the name.

Who it’s for: Done with stairs, not done with the house. If Cactus Bloom is close but you want more, this is your community. November is closer than it sounds — if this is your fit, you want to be on the list now, not standing in a model home in the fall wondering where the good lots went.

Riviera Palms (KB Homes) — Coming Soon

Directly across from Esplanade. A hundred fifty-one lots on about 23.11 acres. Nothing else released.

With a name like Riviera Palms, sitting where it sits, across from what it’s across from — I have a theory. But a theory is not information, and I’m not going to dress one up as the other. When KB releases it, I’ll update this page.

The single-story ladder in this village: Esplanade from the low $700s. Cactus Bloom from the low $1.7s. Agave Ridge from around $2 million. Same village, three completely different lives.

Which Communities Work for Move-Up Families?

More bedrooms, more square footage, second floors, wider price band.

Cloudbreak Ridge (KB Homes) — Open Now

Gated, 104 lots, two collections under one gate. The Enclaves — 32 home sites, all single-story. The Reserves — roughly 72 sites, two-story. Homes range from about 2,251 to 3,950 square feet. Three to five bedrooms, two-and-a-half to five baths, two-car garages. Pricing starts in the low $800s.

This is the widest net in the village and the most flexible product out here, precisely because of that split.

The thing nobody will bring up at the model: two-car garages. Three vehicles, a boat, a golf cart, or the kind of garage habit that grows over time — that’s a constraint you’ll feel in year two, not month one. Ask before you fall in love with the kitchen.

Reflection Ridge (Toll Brothers) — Expected Fall 2026

A hundred forty-eight lots on roughly 28.26 acres. Three two-story plans, about 3,318 to 3,815 square feet. Four to five bedrooms, three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half baths, three-car garages, spacious lofts, and Toll’s personalization program — which is genuinely one of the better ones in the business if you like making decisions.

Pricing hasn’t been released.

What you need to know about Toll Brothers: they routinely sell homes before the models open. That’s not a rumor, that’s how they operate. If this community is on your list, waiting for the grand opening is how you end up choosing between the two lots nobody else wanted.

Glass Canyon (Pulte) — Coming Soon

A hundred twenty-six one- and two-story homes. Lot sizes from about 6,490 to 7,250 square feet. Homes from roughly 2,658 to 4,731 square feet. No pricing, no plans yet.

That top number is worth sitting with. Forty-seven hundred square feet is a serious house, and there aren’t many communities in this village reaching that high.

Who it’s for: Large family, or a multigenerational household that needs the square footage to actually work over time. Worth watching closely.

Why Is Summerlin Building This Village the Way They Are?

This village didn’t assemble itself by accident.

Six builders. Eleven communities. And look at the spread — the low $700s to $3 million and up, all inside one village.

That’s deliberate. Summerlin isn’t building a neighborhood out here, they’re building a full ladder. Entry at Cloudbreak. Single-story at three tiers. Move-up at Reflection Ridge. And Astra at the top to set the ceiling for everything underneath it.

Why that matters to you is what it does to pricing. When a master plan puts a $3 million guard-gated enclave at the top of a village, every community below it gets pulled up. Not immediately. Over the build-out.

And one more thing, since we’re being honest. Every price in this guide is a “starting from” number. Out here, where the entire product is elevation and view, lot premiums are not a rounding error. The lots that see the Strip cost real money on top of the base price.

So when you read “starts in the low $700s,” understand you’re reading the price of the lot nobody’s fighting over.

What Is the Most Exclusive Community in La Madre Peaks?

Astra

The crown. Guard-gated, perched at the highest elevation in the valley, a limited collection of custom home sites with panoramic views of the mountains, the valley, and the Strip. Clubhouse planned. Think The Ridges. Think Summit Club. Minus the golf.

Lot premiums start around $3 million. That’s the dirt.

Here’s the part I want you to hear clearly, because the rendering won’t tell you: this is a custom build. Your architect. Your team. Your project to run. It is not walking into a model and choosing between three quartz options on a Tuesday afternoon. Done well, it produces something that exists nowhere else in Las Vegas. It also takes years, and it takes a certain kind of person to enjoy the process rather than endure it.

Who it’s for: The forever-home builder who wants it exactly right and has the runway for it. If you need to be in a house by spring, this isn’t your move — and there is absolutely no shame in knowing that about yourself.

Which Communities Haven’t Been Announced Yet?

Three where the land is platted and that’s about the size of it. Here’s what’s actually known, and not one word more.

Canyon Vista (Tri Pointe) — 74 lots on about 19.64 acres, south side of Park Drift Trail.

Golden Grove (Richmond American) — 91 lots on about 12.75 acres, west side of Park Drift Trail.

Juniper Heights (Richmond American) — 38 lots on about 9.56 acres, off Sunset Run Drive.

No floor plans. No pricing. No confirmed product type.

I’ll say this much: lot counts that high on acreage that tight tells you something about density. But anyone describing these communities to you in detail right now is guessing — and you deserve better than a confident guess.

What Parks and Amenities Will La Madre Peaks Have?

Like every Summerlin village, this one is built around outdoor living: planned parks, walking trails, open space, and access to Summerlin’s trail system. Scouts Point Park is the one named so far.

Add Grand Park down the road, plus everything Summerlin already hands you — Downtown Summerlin, Red Rock Casino, and Red Rock Canyon essentially out the back door. That last one is the amenity people underestimate until they’ve lived with it.

Which One Is Yours?

Eleven communities. Four groups.

Single-story, done with stairs: Esplanade at Red Rock, Cactus Bloom, Agave Ridge, and probably Riviera Palms.

Move-up family: Cloudbreak Ridge, Reflection Ridge, Glass Canyon.

Top of the market, building custom: Astra.

And three that aren’t ready to be judged yet.

Which one is yours? Well — I’ll let you decide.

One favor, though. When you walk into these model homes, bring somebody with you who sits on your side of the table. The person at the desk is lovely, professional, and works for the builder.

I don’t.
