The Hills, Summerlin

What The Hills is

The Hills is part of the northern section of Summerlin and is where the whole master-planned community started. Because it is the oldest village, its streets, landscaping and trees have had decades to mature, and homes here are a mix of ages and styles built as the village filled in over the years.

Neighboring The Hills South, which the timeline dates to 1991, is where TPC Summerlin is listed. The timeline credits that course as the site of Tiger Woods’s first PGA Tour win in 1996.

Parks, library and village center

The Hills Park covers about 7.7 acres and has lighted tennis courts, a playground and a lawn amphitheater. The Hills Village Center is described as a quieter, community-oriented hub built around services, education and the arts.

The Summerlin Library & Performing Arts Center, with a 284-seat theater, is listed among the village’s landmarks. Hours, programs and facilities change, so check with the library district before relying on a specific service.

Who it may suit

Buyers who prefer an established setting with mature landscaping and close access to long-standing civic and retail amenities often start with the older northern villages. If you want newer construction, the western villages are where recent building has been concentrated.

HOA and what to verify

Every home sits inside one or more homeowners associations, and each sets its own monthly dues, design rules and amenity access. Dues change, so ask for current figures and the governing documents in writing for the specific home.

• Ask what the HOA dues cover and whether there are separate neighborhood or sub-association dues.
• Ask about the Summerlin special improvement district assessment, which can appear on the property tax bill.
• Check design review rules before planning any exterior change, and confirm current school zoning with the district.
