The Trails, Summerlin

What The Trails is

The Trails is one of the northern villages in the Summerlin master plan. It was built in the 1990s, so most of its homes are established and its neighborhoods have mature landscaping.

Trails Village Center, an open-air shopping plaza developed in 1998, is the village’s retail center. Tenants change over time, so check what is there today.

Parks and community facilities

The Trails Park covers about 14.6 acres and includes lighted baseball fields, a splash pad and a resident-only pool. The Trails Community Center & Pool, described as Summerlin’s first community center, opened in the mid-1990s (the source gives both 1993 and 1995).

Pool and recreation access in Summerlin generally depends on a resident ID issued through the association, so ask how access works for the home you are considering.

Who it may suit

Buyers who want an established neighborhood with a nearby park, community center and shopping center often look at The Trails. Those who want the newest floor plans will usually find more choice in the western villages.

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.

Our disclaimer explains why you should confirm these points with your own licensed professionals.
