What Is Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin is a 55+ active adult community on the western edge of Las Vegas, built by Del Webb starting in 1989 inside the larger Summerlin master-planned area. It's home to approximately 12,500 residents across 7,781 attached and detached homes.[1]

What sets it apart from other Las Vegas 55+ communities is the scale of what's included: three golf courses, four recreation centers, five pools, 72 chartered clubs as of July 2026,[2] and an HOA structure built specifically around age-restricted living, not retrofitted onto a general community. If you're searching for Sun City Summerlin homes for sale, or comparing it against other 55+ communities in the valley, this guide covers what actually matters: real MLS pricing, HOA costs, age and rental rules, and the amenities day to day.

Sun City Summerlin Homes and Floor Plans

Sun City Summerlin's housing stock is single-story, based on a review of more than 1,200 MLS sales from January 2023 through June 2026, none of which recorded a second story.[4] Every home is either detached, a standalone house on its own lot, or attached, sharing a wall with a neighboring unit, sometimes labeled a townhome, sometimes not, depending on how a particular listing agent entered it in the MLS. I group by what the property actually is, not by what dropdown got selected.

Sun City Summerlin Home Prices: What Do Homes Actually Sell For?

Figures below reflect closed sales in Sun City Summerlin over the past 12 months, as of July 2026, sourced from Scott Rotheiser's own Las Vegas Realtors MLS pulls.[4] Home prices change. Check with me for current listings and recent comparable sales before you rely on any number here for a decision.

Attached homes

The more affordable, lower-maintenance option. Nearly all are two-bedroom, two-bath, roughly 1,000 to 1,900 square feet, with a two-car garage as the near-universal standard.

Attached-home sizeSale rangeMedian priceTypical configuration
Under 1,300 sq. ft.$265,000-$435,000$325,0002 bed / 2 bath
1,300-1,599 sq. ft.$270,000-$512,500$350,0002 bed / 2 bath
1,600+ sq. ft.$330,000-$570,000$436,0002 bed / 2 bath

None of the attached sales in this window had a private pool, which fits the smaller lots that come with this product type.

Golf-course frontage (attached): Attached homes backing a golf course command a real premium. Over the past 12 months, golf-frontage attached sales ranged $380,000-$570,000, median $475,000, roughly $331 per square foot versus $272 for attached homes generally. Sample size is small (8 sales in this window), so treat this as a strong directional signal rather than a precise number, but it holds up against the last two years of golf-frontage attached sales too.

Detached homes

The larger and more varied end of the community, everything from a modest two-bedroom to a three-bedroom-plus home with a three-car garage.

Detached-home sizeSale rangeMedian priceTypical configuration
Compact, 1,100-1,399 sq. ft.$310,000-$593,000$400,0002 bed / 2 bath
Mid, 1,400-1,799 sq. ft.$380,000-$895,000$497,0002 bed / 2 bath
Large, 1,800-2,199 sq. ft.$369,000-$1,100,000$600,000Mix of 2/2 and 3/2
X-Large, 2,200+ sq. ft.$505,000-$1,550,000$860,000Mostly 3 bed, about 1 in 4 with 3-car garage

Garage count tracks size, not personal preference: two-car is standard across nearly every detached home, and three-car shows up almost exclusively on the larger homes, so think of it as a marker of the X-Large tier rather than its own separate choice. About 1 in 15 detached sales in this window (21 of 332) had a private pool.[4]

Golf-course frontage (detached): Detached homes on a golf-course lot carry a premium too, and a larger sample here backs it up. Over the past 12 months, golf-frontage detached sales ranged $515,000-$1,300,000, median $738,500, at a median of $349 per square foot versus $316 for detached homes overall. Part of that gap comes from size, golf-frontage lots tend to carry the larger floor plans, but even accounting for that, the per-square-foot premium holds. History over the past two-plus years shows the same pattern, median $725,000 at $355/sf.

What this data doesn't cover: mountain or city views (non-golf), casitas, and whether a home has been remodeled or is in original condition. None of that lives in the standard sale record, it comes down to the specific listing, and I can speak to it home by home. If any of those matter to your search, that's exactly the kind of thing worth a phone call rather than a webpage.

Sun City Summerlin HOA Fees: What Do They Actually Cover?

If you're looking at a home here, you're going to hear about the HOA before you hear much else. That's normal for an age-restricted community. It's also worth understanding upfront rather than discovering it three weeks into escrow.

Monthly dues are $236, verified directly with the Sun City Summerlin HOA on 07/17/2026. That covers what you'd expect in a Del Webb community: the clubhouses, the pools, the fitness centers, the landscaping in common areas, and the staff who keep all of it running. Golf isn't part of the HOA fee, it's a separate operation (see the Golf section below). Maintaining your own home's yard, front and back, is the owner's responsibility under the CC&Rs, not something the HOA dues cover.[5]

There's also a one-time charge called the NORA, currently $5,125, effective May 1, 2026, verified 07/17/2026 with the HOA. This gets paid when you buy in, not annually. If you're selling, budget for a resale package fee of $190 and a demand fee of $169.46, both standard parts of closing here and also verified directly with the HOA.

For the full governing documents, CC&Rs, and current fine schedule, go straight to the source: Sun City Summerlin's official Governing Documents page. That way you're always looking at the current version, not something that could be out of date. I'm happy to walk through any of it with you.

Sun City Summerlin Age Requirements: Who Can Live There?

Sun City Summerlin qualifies for the federal 55+ housing exemption.[6] At least one resident of each occupied home must be 55 or older, and no one 18 or younger may reside there permanently. Anyone 19 and older can live in the home as long as an age-qualified resident lives there too, and the community has to keep at least 80% of its occupied homes with a 55+ resident to keep its exemption. There's a narrow exception for a surviving spouse who isn't age-qualified.

This is a summary of the rule, not the rule itself. The full requirements, including how age is verified and how the exception works, are in the CC&Rs and the 55 Year Age Restriction Policy. If age requirements matter to your decision to buy, sell, or rent here, read the actual policy yourself and don't rely on this page alone.

Sun City Summerlin Rental Rules: Can You Rent Out a Home Here?

Sun City Summerlin allows owners to rent out their homes, with real limits. A rental has to be the entire dwelling unit, leased to a single family, not a room, not a portion of the home, and not split among multiple unrelated tenants.[7] Tenants are also subject to the community's age restriction: at least one tenant in the home has to meet the 55+ requirement, the same as if the owner lived there. Tenants need a copy of their lease on file with the association to get an Association Activity Card, and the owner has to be in good standing for that to happen.[8]

This is a summary, not the full rule. Rental terms, minimum lease lengths, and enforcement details are spelled out in the CC&Rs and the Rules and Regulations. Read the full Sun City Summerlin Governing Documents yourself, or have your attorney or property manager review them, before you plan to rent out a home here. I'm providing this as a starting point, not as a substitute for the governing documents themselves.

Sun City Summerlin Golf Courses: Three Distinct Ways to Play

Golf is woven into daily life at Sun City Summerlin. The community is home to three Golf Summerlin courses, Highland Falls, Palm Valley, and Eagle Crest, all designed by World Golf Hall of Famer Billy Casper and course architect Greg Nash. Together they give residents three very different ways to play, from a full championship-length round to a quicker executive round.

Highland Falls Golf Club sits on elevated terrain with rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and views that stretch across the Las Vegas Valley to the Strip. It's a par-72 course, and the mix of risk and reward makes it playable across a wide range of skill levels without feeling easy.

Palm Valley Golf Club is the longest and most demanding of the three. This par-72 layout has mature landscaping, pine-lined holes, 68 bunkers, and greens with subtle contours that reward good course management more than raw distance.

Eagle Crest Golf Club is the shorter option, and it's a good one. Built into the mountainside, this par-60 executive course runs just over 4,000 yards with dramatic city views. You'll still use every club in the bag, just in less time.

Each course has its own driving range and practice green. Sun City Summerlin residents may qualify for resident golf rates and membership options, and the courses also welcome outside visitors to the Las Vegas area, not just residents.[9] Several men's, women's, nine-hole, and mixed golf clubs meet regularly, which makes golf here as much a social outlet as a game.

Three distinct courses, all within the community, is one of the reasons golf comes up so often in conversations about why people choose Sun City Summerlin.

Sun City Summerlin Recreation Centers and Amenities: Four Centers, Each With Its Own Personality

Sun City Summerlin isn't built around one clubhouse. It's built around four, and residents tend to gravitate toward the one (or two) that fits how they actually spend their time.[10]

Desert Vista (10360 Sun City Blvd.) is the sports and hobby hub. Beyond the ballroom and billiards room, it has arts and crafts, model builders', and photography club rooms, plus a full outdoor-focused fitness center: basketball, bocce ball, horseshoes, indoor and outdoor pool/spa, pickleball, tennis, and a picnic area.

Mountain Shadows (9107 Del Webb Blvd.) doubles as the association's administrative home, with the main offices, the Link Magazine, and the community library. It's also where you'll find some of the more distinctive amenities in the community: a mini golf course, shuffleboard, racquetball, an outdoor walking track, plus ceramics, sewing, and stained glass club rooms, along with a Gratitude Garden.

Pinnacle (2215 Thomas Ryan Blvd.) is the entertainment and dining center. It's home to Starbright Theater, the Summit Restaurant & Snack Bar, a music studio, and a full slate of hobby rooms: computer lab, woodworking shop, quilting, arts. The fitness side adds a softball field, ping pong, and an outdoor walking track alongside the usual gym and pool.

Sun Shadows (8700 Del Webb Blvd.) is the most compact of the four recreation centers, built around its indoor pool and spa, library, fitness room, bocce court, and table tennis facilities.

Each center has its own hours and monitor stations, and access runs through your Association Activity Card. Full details, current hours, and rental information for each facility are on Sun City Summerlin's Amenities & Facilities page.

Sun City Summerlin Fitness Centers and Pools

Every one of the four recreation centers has its own fitness center, so wherever you live in the community, a gym is close by. Between them, residents have access to five pools, indoor and outdoor, including an Olympic-size outdoor pool.[1] Desert Vista has both an indoor and outdoor pool/spa, Sun Shadows has an indoor pool/spa, and Mountain Shadows and Pinnacle each have an outdoor pool. Pool use is unsupervised, and no lifeguards are present.[11]

Fitness offerings go beyond equipment. Certified personal trainers are available community-wide, massage therapy is offered at the Pinnacle Fitness Center, and there's a required equipment orientation for anyone new to the strength and cardio machines (24-hour advance signup, closed-toe shoes and gym attire required). Sun City also runs live fitness classes throughout the week, with Zoom participation available for residents, useful if you're traveling or just don't feel like driving over.[12]

Access to any fitness center or pool requires a valid Association Activity Card, and each facility has its own hours, monitor stations, and rules, including guest policies, pool attire requirements, and age restrictions for children visiting under 19. Full details are on Sun City Summerlin's Fitness & Outdoor Amenities page and the Fitness Center Rules page.

Sun City Summerlin Clubs and Social Life

Sun City Summerlin has 72 chartered clubs as of July 2026, member-run, nonprofit, and covering a broad range of recreational, creative, cultural, and social interests.[2] This is one of the clearest signs of what daily life actually looks like here: it's not just golf and a gym, it's a genuine social infrastructure that residents built themselves.

Sports and fitness: Pickleball, tennis, racquetball, softball, swim, table tennis, yoga, tai chi, Zumba, water aerobics, bocce, basketball, cycling, hiking, and five separate golf clubs split by skill level and gender.

Cards and games: Four separate bridge clubs, plus euchre, cribbage, mah jongg, pan, bunco, and Texas Hold'em.

Arts, crafts, and hobbies: Art, ceramics, quilting, sewing, stained glass, silver and lapidary work, model building, woodworking, beading and jewelry, and a writers' workshop.

Music, dance, and theatre: A classical music club, two separate dance clubs, a community theatre group, a choral group (Silvertones), a musicmakers ensemble, and an organ, piano, and keyboard club.

Regional, cultural, and special interest: Clubs for former Chicago/Midwest, New York, French, Italian, and Spanish-speaking residents, plus a book club, an investment club, and a travel club.

Civic and community service: A men's club, a women's club, a general social club, a Neighborhood Preparedness Team, the Sunshine Service Club (medical equipment loans), and both a Conservatives Club and a Liberal Club, along with a Rainbow Club for LGBTQ+ residents.

Clubs use the community's recreation centers for meetings and events under rules set by the association's Clubs and Community Organizations Committee, so it's a structured system, not an informal arrangement. The full, current list with contact information is maintained directly by the association: Sun City Summerlin Clubs.

Sun City Summerlin Restaurants

Sun City Summerlin has restaurants both inside its own recreation centers and in the retail centers built along its edges, giving residents several dining options within and around the community.

Names, locations, and cuisine below are stable. Hours change more often, so they're intentionally left out here, call ahead or check each restaurant's own listing. Verified July 2026.

In the community's golf clubhouses:[13]

Tavern at the Falls, at Highland Falls, American fare with lake and golf course views, 10201 Sun City Blvd. 702-254-1581.

Between the clubhouse restaurants and the independent spots along Del Webb and Sun City Boulevards, residents have several dining options within the community and along nearby commercial corridors.

Pets and Nearby Conveniences

Pets

Household pets are permitted at Sun City Summerlin, subject to the community's governing documents: a reasonable number of typical house or yard pets, kept as domestic pets only, no livestock, poultry, or commercial breeding, and pet waste must be cleaned up immediately.[17] Buyers with multiple pets or less common pets should verify the current rules before purchasing, since the Architectural Review Committee has discretion over what counts as "reasonable."

Sun City Summerlin does not have a dedicated off-leash dog park among its own amenities. The nearest public option is Barkin' Basin Park, 7351 W. Alexander Road, open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., with three separate dog areas, shaded seating, and water fountains.[18]

Healthcare, shopping, and everyday conveniences

Sun City Summerlin sits inside neighborhood shopping centers with grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and everyday services, including Seafood City Supermarket right in the retail plaza on Sun City Boulevard.[19] Residents also have access to the larger retail and entertainment areas at Boca Park, Tivoli Village, and Downtown Summerlin, plus grocery options across greater Summerlin including Albertsons, Smith's, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods.

Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, at 657 N. Town Center Drive, is the primary hospital serving the area, along with a range of medical offices, urgent-care centers, and specialty practices nearby.[20] Because Sun City Summerlin is a large community, drive time to any of these varies depending on which part of the neighborhood a specific home sits in, worth checking from the actual address you're considering rather than assuming.

Special Improvement Districts (SID/LID): Does This Home Have One?

Some homes in Summerlin, including parts of Sun City Summerlin, carry a Special Improvement District (SID) assessment, a separate charge tied to the property that helped fund infrastructure like roads and utilities when the area was built.[21] A SID/LID assessment is separate from HOA dues and ordinary property taxes, although the billing method depends on the particular district. Some homes have it paid off, some don't, and the only way to know for sure is to check the specific parcel.

I check every listing I take in Summerlin against AMG (Assessment Management Group), the company that manages billing for most of these districts. You can look up your own parcel directly: Check for a SID/LID balance on AMG.

I've written a full breakdown of how SIDs and LIDs work, which neighborhoods tend to have them, and what it means if you're buying or selling: Does Your Las Vegas Home Have a SID or LID?

Frequently Asked Questions

The 17 questions below are the ones that come up in nearly every conversation about this community. For a deeper dive, I've also put together a full Sun City Summerlin Buyer FAQ and Sun City Summerlin Seller FAQ, each covering dozens more real questions organized by topic.

Is Sun City Summerlin gated?

No. Sun City Summerlin is not a gated community. It has a community-run volunteer Patrol with 180 members operating 24/7, but the Patrol is not a security service and the association does not offer security services.[3]

How much are the HOA fees in Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin's HOA assessment is currently $236 per month, verified directly with the association on 07/17/2026. There's also a one-time NORA fee of $5,125 for new owners. Buyers should verify the current amount with the association before purchasing.

Is golf included in the HOA fee?

No. Golf is operated separately from the HOA through Golf Summerlin, with its own membership and fee structure. Monthly HOA dues cover clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, and common-area landscaping.

Does the Sun City Summerlin HOA maintain individual homes or yards?

No. HOA dues cover shared amenities and common-area landscaping, not the landscaping or upkeep of an individual homeowner's own lot. Under the CC&Rs, maintaining your own yard, front and back, is the owner's responsibility.[5]

How old do you have to be to live in Sun City Summerlin?

At least one permanent resident in each occupied home must be 55 or older. No one 18 or younger may reside there permanently, though visitors under 19 are allowed for up to 90 days in any 12-month period.[6]

Can grandchildren visit?

Yes. Visitors under 19 can stay as guests for up to 90 days in any 12-month period, as long as an age-qualified (55+) resident also lives in the home. It's a visit allowance, not a path to permanent residency.[6]

Can you rent a home in Sun City Summerlin?

Yes, but rentals are subject to the community's leasing and age-qualification rules. The entire home must be leased to a single family, and at least one tenant must meet the 55+ age requirement. Buyers should verify current minimum lease terms and requirements in the governing documents.[7]

Are there homes with private pools?

Yes, though they're a minority. About 1 in 15 detached home sales over the past 12 months (21 of 332) had a private pool. None of the attached-home sales in that window had one.[4]

Does Sun City Summerlin allow fences?

Yes, with restrictions. Front-yard walls or fences are limited to 3.5 feet and must sit at least 18 feet back from the front lot line, side and rear fences can run up to 6 feet. Chain-link fencing isn't allowed anywhere in the community, and any fence needs Architectural Review Committee approval before it's built.[22]

How many golf courses are in Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin has three golf courses: Highland Falls, Palm Valley, and Eagle Crest, all part of Golf Summerlin and designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash.

Are the golf courses open to nonresidents?

Yes. Golf Summerlin's three courses welcome outside visitors to the Las Vegas area in addition to Sun City Summerlin residents, who may qualify for resident rates.[9]

How many homes are in Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin contains 7,781 attached and detached homes, home to approximately 12,500 residents.[1]

How many clubs are in Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin has 72 chartered clubs as of July 2026, covering sports, cards and games, arts and hobbies, music and theatre, cultural and regional interests, and civic organizations, all member-run and nonprofit.[2]

Are there restaurants in Sun City Summerlin, and are they open to the public?

Yes to both, at least in part. The community has three restaurants inside its own golf clubhouses (Tavern at the Falls, Summit Restaurant, and Miller's Tavern at Palm Valley) plus independent restaurants including Brunello, Wild Fig BBQ, and El Burrito along the community's edges. Tavern at the Falls is confirmed open to the public in addition to residents, confirm current public-access policy for the other clubhouse restaurants before planning a visit.[13][23]

Is there a dog park in Sun City Summerlin?

Sun City Summerlin doesn't have a dedicated off-leash dog park among its official amenities. The nearest public option is Barkin' Basin Park at 7351 W. Alexander Road, with three separate dog areas, shaded seating, and water fountains.[18]

Are pets allowed in Sun City Summerlin?

Yes, household pets are permitted subject to the community's governing documents, nuisance, leash, and property-use rules. Buyers with multiple or unusual pets should verify the applicable restrictions before purchasing.[17]

How far is Sun City Summerlin from Red Rock Canyon?

Roughly 17 miles, commonly cited at about 10-15 minutes by car depending on traffic and the exact starting point within the community.[24]

How far is Sun City Summerlin from the Las Vegas Strip and the airport?

The Strip is commonly cited at roughly 10-13 miles, about 15-25 minutes depending on traffic. Harry Reid International Airport is commonly cited at about 17 miles, roughly 28 minutes. Both vary meaningfully with traffic and time of day.[24]
