The Canyons

The Canyons was built to a simple plan: put a championship golf course at the center and let the homes, the resort, and the open space arrange themselves around it. Developed from the mid-1990s, the village is now fully matured, which means mature landscaping, finished parks, and neighbors who have been there a while. The JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa anchors one edge, and TPC Las Vegas, the valley's tournament course, runs through the middle.

Housing spans more than most people expect. Custom-built estate homes sit on golf and mountain-view sites, joined by Toll Brothers residences including Mira Villa, an all-single-story, low-maintenance condominium product in a resort-style mid-rise. The practical result is a village where a buyer can choose between a full custom estate and lock-and-leave luxury without leaving the same address.

Cottonwood Canyon Park, a roughly 69-acre linear park built along the village's washes, gives families green space, play areas, and walking paths that connect into Summerlin's system of more than 250 miles of trails. Angel Park's public courses sit just outside the village, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a short drive, and Downtown Summerlin's shopping, dining, and entertainment are minutes away.
