The Hills Summerlin for Families

by Ryan Rose

The Hills in Summerlin is one of the most family friendly neighborhoods in Las Vegas, combining top rated schools, expansive parks, safe streets, and walkable amenities into a community designed for all ages. With 19 distinct neighborhoods across The Hills and The Hills South, families have options at every price point and lifestyle preference.

What Schools Are Available for Families in The Hills?

Families in The Hills benefit from both excellent public and private school options. Lummis Elementary School, rated 9 out of 10 on GreatSchools, is within walking distance for many residents. Becker Middle School and Discovery Charter School serve older students nearby. For private education, the Adelson Educational Campus sits directly within The Hills Village, and The Meadows School is just minutes away by car.

This concentration of strong schools at every grade level is one of the primary reasons families choose The Hills over other Summerlin communities. Parents can often walk children to elementary school in the morning and still have quick access to private campus options.

What Family Amenities Does The Hills Offer?

The Hills Park is a seven acre community hub on Hillpointe Drive featuring a playground, amphitheater, lighted tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, and shaded picnic ramadas. It serves as a natural gathering spot for families throughout the year.

Beyond the park, The Hills connects to Summerlin's 200+ mile trail system. Families use these eight foot wide paths for biking, jogging, and evening walks. The trail network links directly to Trails Village Center, where families can walk to restaurants, shops, and everyday services without getting in the car.

Is The Hills Summerlin Safe for Families?

The Hills is consistently cited as one of the safest areas in the Las Vegas Valley. Several neighborhoods within The Hills and The Hills South offer guard gated access, including Eagle Hills, Tournament Hills, and Corta Bella. Even non gated neighborhoods benefit from Summerlin's overall low crime rates and well maintained streetscapes with tree lined sidewalks.
