Richmond American Homes has opened Cactus Bloom, the newest neighborhood in Summerlin's La Madre Peaks village, and every home is a single story. There are three floor plans, the Rocco, the Rowan and the Robert, priced from $1,734,950 to $1,964,950.

That matters because big single-story homes are hard to find in Summerlin. Most new luxury homes in the west valley go up, not out. If you have been waiting for a large home with no stairs, close to Red Rock and Downtown Summerlin, this is one of the few new choices on the map right now.

Below, we walk through each plan, where the neighborhood sits, what else is being built nearby, and what to think about before you visit the model homes. Everything here comes from the Summerlin plan pages and the builder announcement, so you can check it yourself.

What Happened

Cactus Bloom by Richmond American Homes is now open in Summerlin. The Las Vegas Review-Journal ran the builder announcement on Oct. 12, 2026, in a section marked "Provided Content," which means it was a paid feature and not independent reporting. The plan details and prices below were checked against the official Summerlin.com plan pages.

The neighborhood has three single-story plans. Each one is a single-family home with a three-car garage. Here is how they line up:

• Rocco: 3,470 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, priced from $1,734,950.
• Rowan: 3,710 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, priced from $1,834,950.
• Robert: 4,010 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, priced from $1,964,950.

The Rocco is the starting point. It opens with a courtyard entrance. The great room flows into a breakfast nook, with a formal dining room right next to it. The kitchen is open, with a large eat-in island and a door to the covered patio. There is a private study, and the primary suite has a spa-style bath and two walk-in closets. Options include a full professional kitchen, a wine room, a longer covered patio and a pet spa.

The Rowan adds about 240 square feet. It has a large courtyard and covered entry, a formal dining room with a wine room, and a "lite" kitchen with an island, walk-in pantry, nook and a separate prep kitchen. Along with three secondary bedrooms, it has a teen room and a study. The Robert is the largest plan. It has a butler's pantry, a professional lite kitchen with a big island, and a primary suite with a sitting area. Buyers can swap in a game room or guest suite, or even a second primary suite in place of two bedrooms.

Why It Matters to Las Vegas Residents

The biggest story here is the floor plan, not the price. Single-story homes this large are rare in new Summerlin neighborhoods. Land is costly in the west valley, so builders often stack space on a second floor. A one-level home with 3,470 to 4,010 square feet is a different kind of product.

Who wants that? Two groups come up again and again. The first is move-up buyers who already own in the valley and want more room without climbing stairs every day. The second is downsizers. That word sounds funny for a 3,500 square foot home, but many people leaving a two-story house want the same space on one floor, so they can stay in the home for a long time. Families with older parents moving in, or anyone with bad knees, also like a home with no stairs.

Here is a simple way to compare the three plans. Using the "priced from" numbers, the Rocco works out to about $500 per square foot. The Rowan is about $495 per square foot, and the Robert is about $490. So the bigger plans cost more in total, but a little less for each square foot. Going from the Rocco to the Rowan adds about $100,000 for 240 more square feet. Going to the Robert adds about $230,000 for 540 more square feet. Keep in mind these are starting prices. Lot premiums and upgrades can change the real number a lot.

Location matters too. Cactus Bloom sits in the foothills of the Spring Mountains, next to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is near the planned Scout's Point park and Grand Park, and about five minutes from Downtown Summerlin, based on the builder announcement. The 215 Beltway is close by for trips across the valley. For people who work in the west valley or spend weekends on the trails at Red Rock, that is a big part of the appeal.

There is also a quieter reason this matters. Every new neighborhood adds to the supply of homes in the west valley. Most of the new home talk in Las Vegas centers on lower price points, like the downtown homes in the $300,000s covered in our related story. Cactus Bloom is the other end of the market. It shows that builders still see demand for large, high-end homes in Summerlin, and that they are betting buyers will pay for one-level living close to the mountains.

Single Story vs. Two Story: What You Gain and Give Up

If you are on the fence, here are a few things to weigh. A single-story home usually means no stairs to climb with laundry or groceries. Every room is on the same level, which makes it easier to keep an eye on young kids or help an older family member. Cooling can also feel more even, since there is no hot upstairs in the summer.

The trade-off is the lot. A one-level home with the same square footage needs a bigger footprint, so it takes up more of the yard. In Summerlin, where land is valuable, that is part of why these homes cost what they do. When you visit, look at how much backyard is left once the home and covered patio are in place, and ask whether a pool will fit if you want one.

Background and History

Summerlin is a master-planned community on the west edge of Las Vegas. According to Summerlin.com, it covers 22,500 acres, with more than 150 miles of trails and hundreds of parks. It is built in villages, and each village has its own set of neighborhoods by different builders.

La Madre Peaks is the newest village. Summerlin describes it as sitting in the western part of the community at the base of the La Madre mountains. Cactus Bloom is one of several neighborhoods now selling there. Cloudbreak Ridge by KB Home opened in the same village with homes priced from the $800,000s. Its gated Enclaves collection has single-story plans of 2,251 and 2,387 square feet, and its Reserves collection has two-story plans from 2,753 to 3,095 square feet.

Esplanade at Red Rock by Taylor Morrison is also in La Madre Peaks. Summerlin says it has 12 single-story floor plans from 1,569 to 3,406 square feet, priced from just under $700,000 to more than $1.6 million. It is an all-ages community with a planned clubhouse, pool, restaurant and bar, and pickleball courts. Cactus Bloom picks up where Esplanade's largest plans stop, starting at 3,470 square feet and going past 4,000.

Two parks shape this part of Summerlin. Scout's Point is the planned park for La Madre Peaks. Summerlin says it will be built around a climbing-themed play area, with two flex lawns, hard and soft trails, a picnic area with a shaded overlook, restrooms, parking and a future trail link to the west. Grand Park is a separate village nearby. It is named for the park at its center, which Summerlin calls its largest park. It is being built in phases, and Summerlin says the first phase is complete.

Put together, the picture is clear. La Madre Peaks is filling in with a range of homes. Cloudbreak Ridge covers buyers starting in the $800,000s. Esplanade at Red Rock spans just under $700,000 to more than $1.6 million, all on one level. Cactus Bloom now sits at the top, from about $1.73 million to just under $2 million, with the largest single-story plans in the village so far based on these announcements. For a buyer, that means you can compare several builders and price points within a short drive of each other.

What Happens Next

Cactus Bloom is open now, and the models are the best way to get a feel for the plans. Richmond American calls this part of its lineup the Aspire Collection. Each plan comes in four front elevation styles on the Summerlin site, so the street will not look like the same house over and over. Buyers can also personalize finishes such as flooring and lighting, according to the plan pages.

Watch the parks. Scout's Point is still in the planning stage, so there is no public opening date yet. When it opens, it will give La Madre Peaks its own village park within the neighborhood area. More phases of Grand Park are also coming over time. New parks tend to add to daily life and to how buyers see a neighborhood, so they are worth tracking if you buy early in a new village.

Also watch the prices. These are "priced from" numbers. Builders adjust them as lots sell, as phases open, and as the market moves. A home on a premium lot, or one loaded with options like a full professional kitchen or a second primary suite, will cost more than the starting price. If you are serious, ask the sales team for a current price sheet and a list of what is standard versus what is an upgrade.

Finally, keep an eye on the rest of La Madre Peaks. It is the newest village, so more neighborhoods and builders are likely to open there over time. Each one adds new choices, and sometimes new competition, for buyers shopping in this part of Summerlin. If you are not ready to buy today, following the village for a few months can help you learn what a fair price looks like for the home you want, and which builders are offering the best value when you are ready to move.

Ryan's Take

I spend a lot of my time in Summerlin and the southwest valley, and the question I hear most from move-up buyers is simple: "Where can I get a big home on one floor?" There are not many good answers in brand new construction. Cactus Bloom is one of them. All three plans are single story, all three have three-car garages, and they sit close to Red Rock, the 215 and Downtown Summerlin. For the right buyer, that combination is hard to beat.

That said, a $1.7 million to $2 million home deserves a careful look. I would compare these plans against the larger single-story plans at Esplanade at Red Rock, and against resale single-story homes in older Summerlin villages, before you decide. New construction gives you a fresh home and a warranty. Resale can give you a finished yard, mature trees and room to negotiate. Neither is wrong. It depends on your timeline and what matters most to you. One more tip: many builders want your agent with you or registered on your very first visit, so ask about that before you walk into the sales office.

What You Can Do

If you are curious, start by looking at the three plans on Summerlin.com. Each page shows the square footage, bedrooms, baths and all four front elevations. Make a short list of what you need, such as a study, a guest suite or a big kitchen, and see which plan fits. The Rowan's teen room and the Robert's guest suite option are worth a close look if you have family living with you.

Next, plan a visit. Walk the model homes, then drive the area at different times of day. Check your commute, the drive to the 215, and how long it takes to reach Downtown Summerlin and Red Rock. Ask the sales team which lots are left, what the lot premiums are, and when homes in the current phase are expected to be ready. Write down what is included in the starting price so you can compare it to other neighborhoods fairly.

Here are a few good questions to bring to the sales office:

• What is included in the "priced from" number, and what costs extra?
• Which lots are still open, and what is the premium on each one?
• When would a home in the current phase be ready to move in?
• Are any homes already under construction that could close sooner?
• What are the HOA dues and any special assessments for this neighborhood and for Summerlin?
• What does the builder warranty cover, and for how long?
• Does the builder offer any help with closing costs or rates if you use its lender, and how does that compare to an outside lender?

Get the answers in writing when you can. Builder offers change often, and what you hear on a Saturday may be different a month later. Having it on paper helps you compare Cactus Bloom with Esplanade at Red Rock, Cloudbreak Ridge or a resale home in another village side by side.

If you already own a home in the valley, think about your sale first. Many move-up buyers need to sell before they can buy, and the order matters. Knowing what your current home is worth will help you set a real budget for a new one. If you want help comparing Cactus Bloom to other single-story options in Summerlin, or want to know what your home could sell for, I am happy to walk you through it.
