Outdoor living a hallmark of Summerlin
In the master-planned community of Summerlin, residents place great value on the community’s outdoor lifestyle and its beautiful natural surroundings. For those reasons, the community’s homebuilders are required to incorporate indoor/outdoor detail into their home designs, including covered patios, loggias and balconies, sun decks and porches and rooftop decks.
“Summerlin’s higher elevation delivers views from many vantage points along with cooler temperatures, making outdoor living especially enjoyable,” said Jenni Pevoto, director of marketing at Summerlin. “We have long recognized the value outdoor living brings to homes in the community, which is why we have always maintained design standards that require features to blend indoor and outdoor living and maximize living areas within the home, while taking advantage of Summerlin’s stunning locale along the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley.”
Many Summerlin homebuilders offer additional features via upgrade packages including custom pools, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces — adding to backyard outdoor enjoyment. And, of course, the community is known for its 200-mile trail system ideal for walking, strolling, running and cycling, while abundant parks, which number more than 300, include all sizes with larger community parks designed to accommodate a variety of sports for youth and adults, including softball, soccer, basketball, tennis, pickleball and volleyball.
