In North Las Vegas, this brand new master planned community has a mission to deliver 16,000 new homes in a desert environment, surrounded by some of the most scenic mountain views in the entire Las Vegas valley.

Following in the footsteps of the Southern Highlands master planned community, Park Highlands will be distinguished by decorative streetscapes, meandering sidewalks, decorative medians, neighborhood shops and expansive green areas. There will be no golf course but, there will be a record number of parks and recreational areas totaling some 425 acres. There will also be a 40 acre regional sports park and 9 neighborhood parks, including baseball fields, football fields, soccer fields and volleyball.

Builders are being kept to a small contingent selected by the quality of their work. American West Homes, Astoria Homes, D.R. Horton and Standard Pacific Homes are expected to be on the list of selected builders.
