The Trails of Summerlin: A Mature Village Built to Be Lived In
As a local REALTOR who has written offers in nearly every Summerlin® village, I have a soft spot for The Trails. It does not chase the latest headlines or the biggest new amenity, and that is exactly the point. What it has instead is something no amount of new construction can hurry along: thirty years of shade, settled streetscapes, and a community that already knows itself. If you want the classic Summerlin feel, the kind that only time builds, this is where I send buyers.
Summerlin's Third Village, Now All Grown Up
The Trails was established in 1993, making it the third village Summerlin built after The Pueblo and The Hills. Tucked into Summerlin North on roughly 573 acres, it was developed by early builders including Pardee Homes, Pulte, Lennar, and Coleman Homes, with most homes going up between 1996 and 2004. That history shows in the best possible way. The trees along the streets have had three decades to grow into real canopies, the landscaping looks settled rather than just planted, and the housing stock runs the gamut from single-family residences to townhomes to custom builds, so no two blocks feel identical.
A Village Built Around Its Parks
The heart of The Trails is its park system. The Trails Park, home to the Trails Community Center, offers playgrounds and generous open lawns that pull the whole neighborhood out in the evenings. On warm days, The Trails Park and Pool at 9550 Trails Center Drive gives residents a neighborhood pool without the cost of a private club membership, and kids have been counting down to summer there for years. The Trails Paseo Park hooks into the broader Summerlin Trail System, so you can step out your front door and keep walking for miles toward Red Rock if the mood strikes. There is even a popular 3.5-mile loop, fittingly called "The Trails in Summerlin Village", that local walkers and hikers swear by for a quiet morning stretch.
The Comforts of an Established Community
Because this village has been whole for decades, residents enjoy amenities that brand-new neighborhoods are still waiting on: a real community center, a neighborhood pool, mature streetscapes, and neighbors who greet each other by name. The location is just as practical. Summerlin Parkway and the 215 beltway are minutes away for commutes, Downtown Summerlin shopping and dining are close by for errands and nights out, and from many spots in the village you wake up to views of Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains.
Who Falls in Love With The Trails
Buyers who gravitate here usually fall into a few camps: families who want the community hub of a neighborhood pool and parks, seasoned buyers who appreciate established landscaping and mature trees, and people who simply like the sound of a village that already feels complete. But if you want to move into a neighborhood that already looks and feels settled, The Trails is hard to beat.
The Trails carries the 89134 ZIP code, tucked into Summerlin North with easy access to everything the community offers. Search homes in The Trails to see what is currently on the market.

Sometimes the best way to understand a neighborhood is simply to be there on a quiet evening.
