What makes it home
Life inside The Willows
The Willows was part of Summerlin's early build-out: the first homes arrived in 1998, and the village filled in through roughly 2006 to 2007 across about 730 acres. It is bordered by the 215 Beltway to the west, Hualapai Avenue to the east, Sahara Avenue to the north, and Desert Inn to the south, with Downtown Summerlin and Red Rock Resort nearby.
Housing spans roughly two dozen subdivisions from multiple builders, including Lewis Homes, with a mix of condos and townhomes, single-family ranches and two-story homes, and the guard-gated Willow Creek custom-home enclave. Floor plans range from entry-level townhomes to 4,000-plus-square-foot custom estates, so the village suits a wide range of buyers.
The social anchor is the Willows Park and Community Center at 2775 Desert Marigold Lane: a residents-only center owned by The Summerlin Council with a resort-style beach-entry pool and water slides, set in a 12.7-acre park with sports fields, a baseball diamond, basketball, and playgrounds. Summerlin's community trails thread through the village, and the Summerlin Hospital medical corridor on Town Center Drive is minutes away.
