Community Design and Features

Developed by Focus Group beginning in 2004, Mountain's Edge was designed as the Las Vegas valley's first drought tolerant community. Native plants and desert landscaping replace traditional grass lawns throughout common areas, honoring the natural environment while conserving water. The rugged setting against the mountains provides scenic views and direct access to outdoor recreation. More than 30 separate villages offer diverse architectural styles and price points, with over 20 builders represented including Toll Brothers, KB Home, Lennar, and Pulte Homes.

Parks and Recreation

Exploration Park anchors the community's recreational offerings, spanning 80 acres with an Old West theme. The park features replicas of a western town and Native American village, walking trails leading to Exploration Peak with panoramic valley views, playgrounds, a water play area, picnic facilities, and an amphitheater. Nathaniel Jones Park provides lighted basketball courts, walking trails, splash pads, and open green space. Paiute Park offers multi use athletic fields, sand volleyball, and additional playground equipment. An extensive network of walking and biking trails connects neighborhoods throughout the community.
