Centennial Hills
New-build country against Lone Mountain, on the valley's high northwest edge.
Centennial Hills is the valley's northwest frontier, one of the last master-planned pushes before the desert takes over, built almost entirely this century. Skye Canyon and Providence climb toward Lone Mountain with parks, trail loops, and community centers built in from day one, and the housing stock is new and energy-efficient, sized for buyers who want a real yard instead of a lot line.
The elevation buys real weather: a few degrees cooler than the valley floor, with open space at the doorstep. Floyd Lamb Park's ponds and cottonwoods sit at the south end, the Tule Springs Fossil Beds badlands run along the north edge, and Lone Mountain rises just past both. US-95 threads down the middle of the area, so Summerlin runs about fifteen minutes and downtown about twenty.
Builders are still releasing new phases here, which means active incentives and 2026 floor plans alongside the finished streets from the area's first decade. It's the trade every buyer here makes on purpose: a quieter address on the northern edge for more house per dollar than Summerlin.

Check my fit →Before you visit a model
Talk to me before you walk into a model home. Not after.
Every builder has a rep in the model home. That rep is good at their job, and their job is the builder’s number, not yours. The day you sign the guest card, most builders treat you as their customer, and your room to bring in your own agent gets thinner.
So here is the rule that saves my clients the most money: text me the area or the community you want to see before you go. Not an address, just where you are headed. I will tell you what that builder is doing right now, what is negotiable this month, and what to never sign on a first visit. It costs you nothing and it keeps me on your side of the table.
Skye Canyon and Providence are both still releasing phases, and incentives shift community by community. Text me before you tour a model and I'll tell you who's dealing this month.
