The Paseos and The Willows are both established villages in Summerlin, but they serve different lifestyles. The Paseos offers more acreage, higher elevation, and direct access to Red Rock Canyon, while The Willows provides a central Summerlin location with resort style pool amenities.

How Do The Paseos and The Willows Compare in Size and Location?

The Paseos spans 768 acres with 28 to 30 neighborhoods in Summerlin West (89138). The Willows covers 731 acres with 23 neighborhoods in South Summerlin. Both are large scale villages, but their positions within Summerlin create distinct advantages. The Paseos sits along the western edge of Summerlin at roughly 3,000 feet elevation, backing directly up to Red Rock Canyon. The Willows occupies a more central position closer to the heart of Summerlin, placing it slightly nearer to Downtown Summerlin and the 215 Beltway.

Home prices in The Paseos range from approximately $400K to $2.6M or more, with a median around $725K to $840K in the 89138 zip code. The Willows ranges from about $488K to $2M, with luxury custom homes in the guard gated Willow Falls neighborhood reaching the upper end. Both villages offer guard gated options. The Paseos features Traccia and Santaluz, while The Willows has Willow Falls. The Paseos generally provides a wider range of price points due to its larger number of sub neighborhoods.

Which Community Has Better Parks and Amenities?

The Paseos features Fox Hill Park (18 acres with a 32 foot climbing tower, adventure playground, and zip line) and The Paseos Park (12.5 acres with splash pad, soccer fields, and basketball courts). The Willows offers two parks totaling over 23 acres with tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, and a community center with a pool, water slide, and covered pavilions. The Willows pool complex is a standout feature, while Fox Hill Park is widely regarded as one of the best playgrounds in all of Las Vegas.

Local Insight

I show homes in both The Paseos and The Willows regularly, and the choice often comes down to priorities. Buyers who want proximity to Red Rock Canyon, cooler summer temperatures, and a massive adventure park for kids tend to prefer The Paseos. Buyers who value a central Summerlin location with resort style pool amenities lean toward The Willows. Both communities deliver on the Summerlin promise of trails, top rated schools, and strong resale values.
