What Centennial Hills is

Centennial Hills is the informal name for a broad area of northwest Las Vegas. It is not a single master-planned community with one set of rules. The name came from a public contest in 2001, and today it is an umbrella for many separate neighborhoods and builder communities with different ages, prices and HOAs.

It borders Summerlin to the south and North Las Vegas to the east. To the north are the Snow Mountain Paiute Reservation and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, and to the west are Lower Kyle Canyon and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which gives the area easy access to the desert and mountain scenery. Lone Mountain is within the neighborhood.

Much of the area is within the City of Las Vegas, but some nearby parcels are in unincorporated Clark County. Summerlin, to the south, is a separate master plan. Always confirm the jurisdiction, HOA and school zone for the specific address.

Neighborhoods and new construction

Within the larger area you will find a mix of established neighborhoods and newer communities that are still being built. Skye Canyon and Providence are master-planned communities in northwest Las Vegas, and Skye Canyon sits on US 95 at Skye Canyon Park Drive. Check whether a specific address falls inside a named master plan and which associations govern it.

Because builders and phases change often, check each community's own website or sales office for what is available now and confirm all details in writing. For new construction, ask about the schedule for remaining phases, planned retail and any special assessments.

Older neighborhoods may have mature landscaping and larger resale selections.
Newer communities typically have modern floor plans and a master HOA with shared amenities.
Some neighborhoods are gated; many are not. Confirm by address.

Parks, services and schools

Centennial Hills Park is the area's main park, with an amphitheater and fossil-themed trails, and is next to the Centennial Hills Library. Centennial Hills Hospital opened in 2008 on Durango Drive. The RTC Centennial Hills Transit Center Park & Ride opened in January 2010.

Public K-12 schools are in the Clark County School District. High schools commonly associated with the area include Centennial, Arbor View and Shadow Ridge. School zones depend on the address and can change, so confirm them directly with the district. Charter and magnet options also exist in Nevada.

Commute

The area is centered on the interchange of I-11/US 95 and the Las Vegas Beltway, with major north-south streets such as Durango Drive and Decatur Boulevard. Commutes to Summerlin, downtown or the Strip vary by time of day. Test the drive at the time you would actually travel before you commit.
