New Construction Homes in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the busiest new home markets in the country. This guide covers 18 builders working across Clark County, the seven parts of the valley where most new homes are going up, and the full buying process from your first model home visit to the day you get the keys. In Nevada, the builder pays the buyer agent commission out of the same marketing budget either way, so bringing your own agent does not raise your price. What does change your price is the lot premium, the design center, and whether the community carries a SID or LID assessment on top of property taxes. Those three line items are where new construction buyers get surprised, and they are covered in detail below.

New construction by area

Each area below has its own page with the builders, the communities, and the homes that are actually for sale there right now.

Who is building new homes in Las Vegas?

Eighteen builders are actively selling new homes in Clark County. A few of them are national companies that build thousands of homes a year at a set price with a set list of finishes. Others are local companies that build a few dozen homes a year and let you change almost anything.

Neither one is better. They are built for different buyers. Use the filter buttons to narrow the list by price level, then open a builder page to see where they are building and what their homes actually include.

Why do so many Las Vegas buyers choose new construction?

Las Vegas has room to grow and a steady stream of people moving in, so builders keep opening communities on the edges of the valley. That gives buyers something a lot of older metros cannot offer, which is real choice in a brand new home at a range of price points.

The practical draw is condition. Everything is new, so there is no roof to replace, no water heater near the end of its life, and no surprise repair in year two. The home also comes with a warranty, which a resale home does not.

The second draw is the incentive structure. Builders would rather buy your interest rate down or credit your closing costs than cut the base price, because a price cut resets the value of every home they have left to sell in that community. That means the negotiation in new construction usually happens on financing and upgrades rather than on price.

The tradeoff is time and cost certainty. A home built from dirt takes months, and the finished number is usually well above the base price on the sign. The rest of this guide covers exactly where those extra costs come from.

What is new construction like in Summerlin?

Summerlin is the valley's best known master plan, on the west side against the Red Rock foothills. New construction there is concentrated in the newer western villages rather than the older established ones.

Summerlin runs higher than the valley average on price, and lot premiums are a real factor because elevation and view matter a lot on that side of town. A homesite with a Strip view or a Red Rock view can carry a premium well above a standard interior lot.

One thing worth knowing: many Summerlin new homes never appear on the MLS at all, because builders sell them directly from the sales office. If you are only watching listing sites, you are seeing a fraction of what is available.

Where they are building: the western villages, mainly Kestrel, Stonebridge, Redpoint, Reverence, and the newer Grand Park. Builders you will see: Toll Brothers, Tri Pointe, Lennar, KB Home, Taylor Morrison, Richmond American, Pulte, and Woodside. Roughly what it costs: attached product starts in the high $300s, and detached homes run up past $3 million in the higher villages.

What is new construction like in Henderson?

Henderson sits southeast of Las Vegas and is its own city with its own services. It consistently ranks well for safety and schools, which is why it draws so many families and relocating buyers.

New construction in Henderson is spread across several large master plans, and the price range is wide. You can find attainable attached product and multi million dollar hillside homes within a fairly short drive of each other.

Henderson is also where SID and LID assessments come up most often, because several of its newer master plans funded infrastructure that way. Always ask for the assessment amount in writing before you sign.

Where they are building: Cadence is the largest and most active, with roughly 12,250 homes planned and a few years of buildout left. Inspirada is nearly finished and closing out. MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya hold the custom and hillside end. Builders you will see: Lennar, KB Home, D.R. Horton, Woodside, Pulte, Century Communities, Beazer, and Taylor Morrison. Roughly what it costs: entry homes at Cadence start in the low $300s, and the custom hillside end runs into eight figures. Henderson has the widest spread of any area on this page.

What is new construction like in North Las Vegas?

North Las Vegas is where the most attainable new construction in the valley tends to be. If your budget is under the metro median, this is usually the first place to look.

The area has changed a lot over the last decade. Newer master plans on the north and northwest edges are well planned, with parks and schools built in rather than added later.

The tradeoff is commute. If you work on the south end of the valley or on the Strip, drive the route at the hour you would actually drive it before you commit.

Where they are building: Villages at Tule Springs and Valley Vista carry most of the activity, out on the far north edge. Builders you will see: D.R. Horton, which lists nine neighborhoods in its Heartland section of Tule Springs alone, plus KB Home, Lennar, Century Communities, LGI Homes, and Touchstone Living. Roughly what it costs: Tule Springs starts just under $300,000. As of July 2026 the median list price across North Las Vegas homes built 2024 or newer was about $465,000, the most attainable new construction median in the valley.

What is new construction like in Southwest Las Vegas?

The southwest is one of the fastest growing parts of the valley, helped by its access to the 215 and its proximity to the airport and the south Strip.

Product here ranges from townhomes through larger single family homes, so it draws a mix of first time buyers, move-up families, and people who want a newer home with a short commute.

Where they are building: in and around Mountain's Edge, Rhodes Ranch, and Silverado Ranch, plus infill along the 215. Builders you will see: Richmond American, Lennar, Pulte, KB Home, Beazer, and Century Communities. Roughly what it costs: attached product and smaller detached homes open the range in the low $300s, and single-story homes on half-acre lots start above $1 million.

What is new construction like in Skye Canyon?

Skye Canyon is a master plan in the northwest, up against the higher desert near Mount Charleston. It sits at a higher elevation than most of the valley, so it runs a little cooler, and it is built around an outdoor and trails lifestyle.

It is still actively building, which means there is genuine new inventory rather than just resales of homes built five years ago.

Builders you will see: Century Communities, Toll Brothers, and LGI Homes. Roughly what it costs: builder prices start in the high $300s. Inventory is thin. In mid 2026 there were around 18 new homes listed at a median near $625,000, which tells you it sells faster than it lists.

What is new construction like in Centennial Hills?

Centennial Hills covers the northwest corner of the valley. It is established enough to have full services and shopping, but still has pockets of new building on its outer edges.

It tends to appeal to buyers who want a newer home and a quieter setting without moving as far out as Skye Canyon.

Builders you will see: Lennar, KB Home, Toll Brothers, Richmond American, Woodside, Shea's Trilogy, and Century Communities. Roughly what it costs: from the mid $300,000s, running past $1 million for larger homes on view lots along the outer edges.

What is new construction like in Lake Las Vegas?

Lake Las Vegas is a resort style master plan built around a man made lake on the far east side of Henderson. It is a distinct setting, with golf, a village center, and a large share of guard gated neighborhoods.

It draws second home buyers and retirees more than it draws commuters, mostly because of the drive time to the rest of the valley. If you are considering it as a primary residence, drive the commute first.

Builders you will see: Lennar, Pulte and Del Webb, Taylor Morrison, Century Communities, and Beazer on production homes, Toll Brothers, Tri Pointe, and Richmond American higher up, and Blue Heron at the luxury end. Roughly what it costs: the master plan publishes new homes from the mid $400,000s, and custom lakefront and hillside work runs into the millions. Resale sites often quote a much higher entry number, because what happens to be listed at any moment skews well above the builders' published starting prices. Ask what is releasing, not what is listed.

Budget for the HOA here. Combined dues run roughly $185 to $485 a month depending on the sub village, and the production villages sit at the low end of that.

Which new communities are opening now?

New communities open and sell out on their own schedule, so this table needs a refresh every month or two to stay honest.

National builders or local builders, which is right for you?

This is the question that decides most of the rest. National builders give you price certainty, a repeatable process, and a warranty department that will still exist in ten years. Local builders give you flexibility, a shorter chain of command, and usually a better shot at getting a change approved.

What do new construction homes cost by area?

Price varies more by area than by builder in Las Vegas. The same builder will price the same floor plan differently in Summerlin than in North Las Vegas, because the land costs differently.

New construction or resale, which makes more sense?

There is no single right answer. The honest version is that new construction costs more up front and less in maintenance, and resale is the reverse.

How do you buy a new construction home, step by step?

Six steps, in the order they actually happen.

1. Get your financing sorted first. Talk to a lender before you visit a model home, so you know your real number and are not negotiating from a guess.
2. Bring your agent to the very first visit. This is the one step people get wrong. Most builders require your agent to register with you on your first visit, and if you go alone, you may not be able to add representation later.
3. Pick the community, then the lot, then the plan. In that order. The lot is the only part you can never change.
4. Sign the purchase agreement and review it properly. Builder contracts are written by the builder. Look closely at the delay language, the arbitration clause, and what happens if the appraisal comes in low.
5. Go to the design center with a budget already set. Decide your number before the appointment, not during it.
6. Do a pre-drywall walkthrough and a final walkthrough. Consider hiring your own inspector for both. The builder's inspections are for the builder.

What incentives do Las Vegas builders offer?

Builders compete on financing and credits rather than on base price. The most common forms are a rate buydown through the builder's preferred lender, a closing cost credit, and a design center credit.

Two things worth knowing. First, the biggest incentives are usually tied to using the builder's own lender, so compare the total cost against an outside lender rather than just the incentive headline. Second, incentives are usually largest on standing inventory the builder wants moved before quarter end.

What are SID and LID assessments?

A Special Improvement District or Local Improvement District is a way local government funds the infrastructure for a new area. Roads, sewer, and utilities get built up front, and the cost is assessed against the homes that benefit from it.

For you as a buyer, it shows up as a separate bill from your property tax. It can run for 10 to 20 years. Some sellers pay it off at closing and some do not, and some buyers do not find out it exists until after they move in.

Ask two questions in writing before you sign: is there a SID or LID on this home, and what is the exact remaining balance and annual amount. Amounts are community specific, so no single number applies across the valley.

What warranty comes with a new home in Nevada?

New homes in Nevada are generally covered by what the industry calls a 1-2-10 warranty. One year on workmanship and finishes, two years on the systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, and ten years on major structural components.

Nevada also has a statutory process for construction defect claims. That process has specific notice requirements and deadlines, so if you think you have a structural problem, get advice early rather than late.

Read the warranty document itself rather than relying on a summary. What counts as a covered defect, and what the builder is required to do about it, is defined in that document.

What do lot premiums and design center upgrades really add?

This is where the base price on the sign turns into the number you actually pay.

Lot premiums

A lot premium is what the builder charges for a better homesite. Corner lots, larger lots, view lots, and lots backing open space instead of another house all carry premiums. The range across the valley is wide, and view lots in the foothills carry the largest premiums by a significant margin.

The thing to weigh is resale. A premium you pay for something permanent, like a view or backing open space, tends to hold value. A premium for something that is only better until the next phase gets built does not.

Design center upgrades

The design center is where most budgets slip. Flooring, cabinets, countertops, and lighting add up quickly, and the appointment is designed to make upgrading easy.

A practical approach: upgrade the things that are hard to change later, like flooring, cabinet layout, and anything structural or behind a wall. Hold off on the things you can swap out yourself in a few years, like light fixtures and mirrors.

What does having your own agent actually change?

The person sitting at the desk in the model home is paid by the builder. They are usually helpful and often very good at their job, but they represent the builder in the transaction, not you.

In Nevada the builder pays the buyer agent commission out of the same marketing budget either way. Bringing your own agent does not raise your price, and not bringing one does not lower it.

What that representation is for, practically:

• Reading the builder contract before you sign it, especially the delay, arbitration, and appraisal language
• Telling you which upgrades hold value at resale and which do not
• Comparing the builder's lender incentive against an outside lender on total cost
• Being at the pre-drywall and final walkthroughs on your side
• Knowing which communities have SID or LID assessments before you fall in love with a floor plan

The one thing that matters most: register on your first visit. It is the single step that is hard to undo.
