1. Esplanade by Taylor Morrison

The first community on the list is one that many people are already watching closely. Esplanade by Taylor Morrison is planned for Summerlin and is expected to begin sales in 2026. The community will feature about 400 homes along with a 10,000 square foot clubhouse that includes a fitness center, restaurant, spa facilities, and a full range of amenities designed for a 50 plus lifestyle.

A unique feature of this community is that it is designed for adults but is not officially restricted to 55 and over. In other states, Taylor Morrison builds Esplanade communities specifically for active adults. In Las Vegas, this version will focus on the 50 plus lifestyle without requiring age qualification. This makes it a great option for anyone who wants a resort level community without age limits. If you are thinking about moving to Las Vegas in 2026, Esplanade should be on your list.

Every Saturday morning, the Downtown Summerlin farmers market offers fresh produce, baked goods, artisan items, and a fun community atmosphere. This is part of what makes the Summerlin area such a lively and enjoyable place to live.
