The Hills vs The Hills South Summerlin: Full Comparison

by Ryan Rose

The Hills and The Hills South are Summerlin's first two villages, built back to back in the early 1990s. Despite sharing a name and a border, they serve different buyers at very different price points.

What Is the Price Difference Between The Hills and The Hills South?

The Hills (original village) ranges from the $300,000s to the $700,000s, with a 2026 median around $533,000. Homes here span 1,400 to 3,000 square feet and were built between 1990 and 1996. Most are traditional single family homes on standard lots with mature landscaping and tree lined streets.

The Hills South starts in the $800,000s and climbs past $10,000,000 for custom estates in its guard gated enclaves. Homes range from 1,500 to over 20,000 square feet, with many sitting on oversized lots along the TPC Summerlin golf course. The scale and finish level are a clear step above the original village.

Are The Hills South Neighborhoods Guard Gated?

This is one of the biggest differences between the two villages. The Hills (original) is mostly non gated, with only Corta Bella and Belaire Estates offering controlled access. The Hills South, by contrast, includes four guard gated communities: Eagle Hills, Tournament Hills, Country Club Hills, and Corta Bella. Buyers who prioritize security and exclusivity will find significantly more options in The Hills South.

Which Village Is Better for Families on a Budget?

The Hills original village is the clear winner for buyers who want Summerlin's location, schools, and trail access without a seven figure price tag. Lummis Elementary, Becker Middle School, and Palo Verde High School serve the area. The Trails Village Center provides everyday shopping and dining within walking distance. The Hills South is better suited for move up buyers or luxury seekers who want golf course views, custom floor plans, and guard gated privacy.
