About the Area
Market Data
In 1952, Howard Hughes — aviator, filmmaker, and history's most spectacularly eccentric billionaire — quietly bought 30,000 acres of Las Vegas desert for about $3 per acre. His plan to relocate his empire there stalled for 30 years. When the Howard Hughes Corporation finally broke ground in 1990, they built a gleaming parkway stretching miles through empty desert before reaching anything at all. Locals called it the "Road to Nowhere." One year after the first residents moved in, Summerlin was ranked #1 for new home sales in the entire United States — a title it held for a decade straight. Named after Hughes' grandmother Jean Amelia Summerlin, the community spans 22,500 developed acres with room for 70,000 more residents. Tiger Woods won his first PGA Tour event at TPC Summerlin in 1996, the Vegas Golden Knights opened their practice facility here in 2017, and Downtown Summerlin's 400-acre walkable district made it a fully self-contained city within a city. The Road to Nowhere turned out to be the road to everything.
