Short answer: Skye Canyon is still being built and Providence is essentially finished, and that one difference explains most of what you will see when you put them side by side. On November 13, 2026, the median asking price was $549,900 across 112 Skye Canyon listings and $564,950 across 44 Providence listings on our community pages. Providence publishes a master assessment of $150 a quarter, while Skye Canyon does not publish its dues, so you need to ask for them before you write an offer.
The other headline numbers, all as of November 13, 2026: the median listing is 2,119 square feet in Skye Canyon and 2,361 in Providence, the median asking price per square foot is $265 against $237, and 24 percent of Skye Canyon listings (27 of 112) sit under $500,000 compared with 41 percent of Providence listings (18 of 44). The City of Las Vegas district 200 tax rate is 3.2782 per $100 of assessed value, and principal and interest on a $550,000 purchase with 20 percent down is about $2,960 a month at the 7.11 percent Freddie Mac average of November 12.
I am Mike Roland, and I am #6 in Nevada by units sold (RealTrends Verified). I wrote this comparison around one question that the listing pages do not answer on their own: which of these two communities is finished, which is still adding homes, and what does that change about the price, the dues and the rules you take on. I did not run a fresh MLS closed-sales pull for this post, so every price below is an active asking price, and I say so in each table caption.
Verdict box (data as of November 13, 2026).
Skye Canyon: 112 active listings, median asking price $549,900, range $376,990 to $1,149,000, median 2,119 square feet, median lot 0.11 acre, median asking price per square foot $265. Developer facts page: 1,000 acres, 6,500 planned homes, builders still selling. Master dues not published.
Providence: 44 active listings, median asking price $564,950, range $399,999 to $875,000, median 2,361 square feet, median lot 0.12 acre, median asking price per square foot $237. About 1,200 acres, 5,600 or more single-family homes, last new-home project reported in 2020. Master assessment $150 a quarter in 2026.
Same for both: the district 200 City of Las Vegas rate of 3.2782 per $100 assessed applies to parcels in that district, and the payment on $550,000 with 20 percent down is about $2,960 a month in principal and interest at 7.11 percent.
Key takeaways
- Skye Canyon has more than twice as many active listings (112 against 44), and its lots run from 0.03 acre to 0.23 acre.
- Providence listings are larger at the median (2,361 against 2,119 square feet) and cheaper per square foot ($237 against $265), but Providence has no listing under 1,600 square feet in the feed.
- Providence publishes its 2026 master assessment, $150 a quarter, and a design review timeline of up to 45 days. Skye Canyon's developer site does not publish a dues figure.
- Providence's last reported new-home project dates to 2020. Skye Canyon's developer site lists active builders and says homes start "in the $300s".
- On September 2, 2026 the City of Las Vegas announced Monument Hills, up to 6,000 homes in northwest Las Vegas. The announcement gives no start date and does not place the site relative to either community.
- I left out drive times because I could not verify them against a dated mapping source. Check your own commute before you commit.

How do Skye Canyon and Providence compare at a glance?
Both communities sit on the northwest side of the Las Vegas Valley, and most listings in both carry an 89166 ZIP code. That is where the similarity ends, at least on paper. One is a master plan that is still selling new homes, and the other is a master plan that its own association describes as more than 5,600 single-family homes already standing. The table puts the published facts and my own listing statistics next to each other. Where a figure comes from the developer or the association, I name it, because planning figures and built-home counts are different things.
| Measure | Skye Canyon | Providence |
|---|---|---|
| Location | US 95 at Skye Canyon Park Drive, northwest Las Vegas, ZIP 89166 (developer address 10111 W. Skye Canyon Park Drive) | Upper west side of the valley per the developer; nearly all listings ZIP 89166, a few in the feed show 89149 or 89148 |
| Master plan size | 1,000 acres and 6,500 planned homes (developer facts page) | About 1,200 acres; 5,600 or more single-family homes and two multifamily complexes (association); developer page lists 7,500 planned residences in 30 neighborhoods |
| Master developer | Century Communities, since January 2020, replacing Olympia Companies (Review-Journal, February 2020) | Focus Property Group |
| Builder status | Developer lists Century Communities and Toll Brothers (facts page) and Century and LGI Homes (builders page) | Last new-home project reported in August 2020 (Brownstones at Providence, Edward Homes) |
| Active listings | 112 | 44 |
| Median asking price | $549,900 | $564,950 |
| Asking price range | $376,990 to $1,149,000 | $399,999 to $875,000 |
| Median size | 2,119 sq ft | 2,361 sq ft |
| Median asking price per sq ft | $265 | $237 |
| Median lot | 0.11 acre | 0.12 acre |
| Master assessment | Not published on the developer site | $150 a quarter in 2026 ($600 a year) |
| Tax rate | 3.2782 per $100 assessed if the parcel is in City of Las Vegas district 200 | 3.2782 per $100 assessed if the parcel is in City of Las Vegas district 200 |
| Named parks | 7 named parks, plus Skye Center and Skye Fitness | 3 named community parks, plus pocket parks in almost every sub-community (association) |
Table 1. Skye Canyon and Providence at a glance, data as of November 13, 2026. Listing statistics are my calculation from the active listings on the therolandteam.com community pages (112 Skye Canyon listings, 44 Providence listings), which are fed by the MLS. They are asking prices, not sales. Developer and association figures are as published on the sources listed at the end of this article.
Two cautions on reading the table. First, asking prices are what sellers hope to get, not what buyers pay, and the valley is carrying about six months of supply. Second, the Providence feed on our page includes a handful of listings with 89149 and 89148 ZIP codes. I left them in because the page lists them as Providence, but if you are searching by ZIP, expect a few edge cases. You can browse both live feeds on our Skye Canyon real estate and Providence real estate pages, and the search tool on our home search page lets you filter the same inventory by price and size.
How much of each community is built, and what is still coming?
This is the section that does the most work in this comparison, so I built a dated timeline from primary and press sources instead of relying on a single brochure number. The numbers for both communities have moved over the years, and some of them still disagree with each other, which is normal for master plans that were drawn up in one decade and finished in another.
| Date | Community | What was published |
|---|---|---|
| February 14, 2020 | Skye Canyon | Century Communities bought the remaining 400 acres not already assigned to builders for $59.1 million and replaced Olympia Companies as master developer. The report put the community at 1,712 acres, planned 2,200 units on the 400 acres, cited about 4,000 homes at full buildout, and counted 538 Skye Canyon sales in 2019. |
| August 12, 2020 | Providence | Brownstones at Providence by Edward Homes, 30 townhouses on 3 acres, was reported as the last new-home development slated for the 1,200-acre community, with completion targeted for the end of summer 2021. |
| 2017 (page copyright) | Providence | The developer page lists 7,500 planned residences across 30 neighborhoods. It is a planning figure, not a count of built homes. |
| 2026 (association site) | Providence | The association states more than 5,600 single-family homes, two multifamily complexes and nearly 30 sub-communities. |
| September 2, 2026 | Northwest Las Vegas | The City of Las Vegas announced Monument Hills, up to 6,000 homes over several years on land acquired from the Bureau of Land Management, with Olympia Companies as developer. The report gives no start or completion dates and does not say where the site sits relative to Skye Canyon or Providence. |
| November 12, 2026 | Skye Canyon | The developer site lists 1,000 acres and 6,500 planned homes, Century Communities homes (single-family, paired homes and townhomes) and LGI Homes townhomes, and describes pricing "starting in the $300s". |
Table 2. Dated facts on buildout, builders and nearby announcements. Sources: Review-Journal (updated February 14, 2020), a reprint of the Review-Journal report of August 12, 2020, Focus Property Group, Providence Master Homeowners Association, skyecanyon.com (page updated November 12, 2026) and FOX5 Las Vegas (September 2, 2026). Read November 13, 2026.
Notice that the Skye Canyon acreage and home count moved between 2020 and 2026. The 2020 report cited 1,712 acres and about 4,000 homes at buildout. The developer's facts page today says 1,000 acres and 6,500 planned homes. I do not know the reason for the difference, and I will not guess. What I can say is that every figure here is a planning number from a developer or a news report, not a count of homes with a certificate of occupancy. If the total build count matters to your decision, ask the developer's sales office for the current number of closed homes and the number of lots still unsold.
What does that mean in practical terms? In Skye Canyon you can buy from a builder, and the developer's own pages show more than one builder selling at once. You can also buy a resale home from an owner who closed with a builder in the last several years. In Providence, the last new-home project the press reported was a 30-townhouse infill site that was supposed to finish in 2021, so I expect nearly every current Providence listing to be a resale home. I did not verify the seller of each listing, and the feed does not separate builder inventory from resale in either community, so treat that as an expectation and not a statistic.
The Monument Hills announcement matters for a different reason. It tells you that new housing is being planned in northwest Las Vegas on a large scale, and that Olympia Companies, the original Skye Canyon developer, is involved. It does not tell you that Monument Hills will touch either community's roads, schools or prices, because the announcement does not say where the land sits. I will update this article if the city publishes a location and schedule. Until then, the honest read is that Skye Canyon is a community still adding homes inside a part of the valley that is also adding homes outside it, while Providence is a finished community whose inventory is the resale market.
If you want the same lens applied to a different master plan, I wrote about buildout status in Moving to Mountain's Edge and in Moving to Cadence, and the neighboring communities of Aliante and Centennial Hills are compared on monthly cost.
What is for sale in each right now, and at what asking prices?
I read every active listing on both community pages on November 13, 2026, which came to 112 in Skye Canyon (five pages of results) and 44 in Providence (two pages). I sorted them into asking-price tiers. A tier table is more useful than a median because the two communities have different shapes: the middle of the Skye Canyon market is a tight cluster, and the Providence market is spread more evenly.
| Asking price tier | Skye Canyon listings | Share of Skye Canyon | Providence listings | Share of Providence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $450,000 | 18 | 16 percent | 9 | 20 percent |
| $450,000 to $499,999 | 9 | 8 percent | 9 | 20 percent |
| $500,000 to $549,999 | 30 | 27 percent | 2 | 5 percent |
| $550,000 to $599,999 | 14 | 12 percent | 7 | 16 percent |
| $600,000 to $699,999 | 15 | 13 percent | 7 | 16 percent |
| $700,000 to $799,999 | 12 | 11 percent | 6 | 14 percent |
| $800,000 and up | 14 | 12 percent | 4 | 9 percent |
| Total | 112 | 44 |
Table 3. Active listings by asking-price tier, as of November 13, 2026. Source: my count of the listings shown on the therolandteam.com Skye Canyon and Providence community pages (MLS-fed). Percentages are rounded and may not total 100. Asking prices only; no closed-sale data.
The largest single cluster in either community is the $500,000 to $549,999 tier in Skye Canyon, with 30 of 112 listings. That tier has a median size of 1,943 square feet and a median lot of 0.09 acre in my sample. Providence has only 2 listings in that same tier, which tells you the two markets are priced around different anchors. In Providence the cheapest tiers hold more of the inventory: 9 listings under $450,000 and 9 more between $450,000 and $499,999, so 18 of 44 (41 percent) are under $500,000. In Skye Canyon, 27 of 112 (24 percent) are under $500,000, but because Skye Canyon has so many more listings, the absolute count under $500,000 is higher there than in Providence.
At the top end, Skye Canyon has 14 listings at $800,000 or more, and the highest asking price in the feed is $1,149,000. Providence has 4 at $800,000 or more, topping out at $875,000. If a budget above $800,000 is your range, Skye Canyon offers more choices on the page today, while Providence offers fewer. If your budget is under $500,000, the choice depends on what you want to own: Skye Canyon's lowest asking prices, $376,990 to $403,000, are on lots of 0.03 acre, while Providence's lowest asking prices, from $399,999, are homes of 1,607 square feet and up on lots of 0.07 to 0.11 acre.
The feeds on the community pages do not show days on market or price history, so I cannot tell you how long any of these have been listed. That is the most important thing to ask for on any listing you like. A listing that has been active for several months with price reductions is a different negotiation than one listed last week. If you want that history for a specific address, call me and I will pull it from the MLS. You can also use our home value tool if you own and are weighing a sale and a purchase together.
What size homes do those prices buy, and what is the price per square foot?
Price per square foot is a blunt tool, but it is the fastest way to see whether a community charges more for the same amount of house. I grouped the listings by interior size and calculated the median asking price and the median asking price per square foot in each band. Small samples deserve a warning: several Providence bands hold only 8 to 12 listings, so one unusual home can move a median.
| Size band | Skye Canyon listings | Skye Canyon median ask | Skye Canyon $ per sq ft | Providence listings | Providence median ask | Providence $ per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,600 sq ft | 12 | $407,900 | $285 | 0 | none | none |
| 1,600 to 1,999 sq ft | 37 | $514,000 | $281 | 12 | $442,000 | $250 |
| 2,000 to 2,499 sq ft | 34 | $579,500 | $261 | 12 | $492,450 | $214 |
| 2,500 to 2,999 sq ft | 11 | $665,000 | $240 | 8 | $678,944 | $252 |
| 3,000 sq ft and up | 18 | $800,000 | $248 | 12 | $752,000 | $232 |
Table 4. Median asking price and median asking price per square foot by interior size band, as of November 13, 2026. Source: my calculation from the active listings on the therolandteam.com community pages (112 Skye Canyon, 44 Providence). Asking prices, not sales. Providence had no listing under 1,600 square feet in the feed.
The pattern that jumps out is the middle of the range. For homes between 2,000 and 2,499 square feet, the median asking price per square foot is $261 in Skye Canyon and $214 in Providence, a gap of $47 per square foot. On a 2,250-square-foot home, that works out to about $105,750 of difference in asking price, using the two medians. The pattern reverses in the 2,500 to 2,999 band, where Providence asks $252 and Skye Canyon asks $240. With only 8 Providence listings in that band, I would not build a case on the reversal, but I would not ignore it either.
Bedroom counts tell a similar story. Among three-bedroom listings, Skye Canyon has 61 with a median asking price of $519,000 and a median size of 1,810 square feet, while Providence has 15 with a median asking price of $479,900 and a median size of 1,933 square feet. Among four-bedroom listings, Skye Canyon has 39 at a $569,000 median ask and 2,334 square feet, against 18 in Providence at $577,000 and 2,389 square feet. Among five-bedroom listings, Skye Canyon has 11 at $849,000 and 3,282 square feet, and Providence has 11 at $650,000 and 3,230 square feet. At the five-bedroom level, the two communities have nearly the same median home size and a $199,000 gap in median asking price.
Lots follow the same split. Fifteen Skye Canyon listings sit on lots under 0.06 acre, with a median asking price of $402,970, and only one Skye Canyon listing is on a lot above 0.20 acre. In Providence, no listing is under 0.06 acre, 14 are between 0.14 and 0.20 acre, and 3 are above 0.20 acre. If lot size is a priority, compare it listing by listing and measure against the actual plat, because the feed rounds to two decimals. I covered lot and home size in depth for a different pair in Anthem vs Southern Highlands, and the price-per-square-foot method is the same one I used in Southern Highlands vs Mountain's Edge.
What do the HOA assessments cost, and what should you verify before an offer?
Providence publishes its numbers and Skye Canyon does not, and that asymmetry is a finding on its own. The Providence Master Homeowners Association lists its 2026 assessments on its payment page, and the page says all three rates are unchanged from 2025 and that no special assessment is anticipated. Skye Canyon's developer pages confirm a master association and a community association that runs social events, but the facts page does not list a dollar amount, so the figure has to come from the seller's resale package or from the association directly.
| Item | Skye Canyon | Providence |
|---|---|---|
| Master assessment | Not published on the developer site; ask for the resale package | $150 a quarter ($600 a year), 2026 |
| Neighborhood add-on examples | Not published; many neighborhoods may add sub-association dues | Easton Place adds $38 a quarter ($152 a year); Oxford Commons adds $105 a quarter ($420 a year, $255 a quarter with the master assessment) |
| Due dates | Not published | January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 |
| Special assessment notice | Not published | "No special assessment is anticipated" on the 2026 payment page |
| Design review timing | Not published on the pages I read | Up to 45 days after a complete application |
| Design review fee | Not published | $35 for pools and spas, water features and dwelling extensions |
| What needs approval | Confirm with the association | Exterior changes such as landscaping, pools, solar panels and patio covers are named as examples |
| Management | Confirm with the association | Managed by CCMC per the association site |
Table 5. Published association assessments and design review rules, read November 13, 2026. Sources: Providence Master Homeowners Association payment information, new-homeowner and design review pages; skyecanyon.com facts page. Amounts are for the assessment year stated and do not include transfer fees, resale fees or sub-association dues not named here.
Read the Providence numbers carefully. The master assessment of $150 a quarter equals $50 a month. A home in Oxford Commons pays $255 a quarter, or $85 a month, once the neighborhood assessment is added. A home in Easton Place pays $188 a quarter ($150 plus $38), or about $62.67 a month. The payment page lists the Oxford Commons rate as quarterly in one place and uses the word "month" in another, so if that neighborhood is on your list, confirm the frequency with the association in writing. The association's own page says its figures are examples, not complete dues for every property.
The Providence design review page is the kind of detail that shapes an ownership plan. An exterior change needs committee approval before work begins, the committee has up to 45 days after a complete application, and the application can be filed online through the resident portal. If you are planning a pool, plan around that timeline and the $35 application fee for pools and spas. Skye Canyon homes may be governed by both a master association and a sub-association, so the design review rules you need depend on your specific neighborhood.
Here is the checklist I would run before making an offer on a home in either community. It is a decision aid, not legal advice, and the items are the same for both because the facts that bite are the same.
- Ask for the current master assessment and every sub-association assessment in writing, with the billing frequency.
- Ask for the resale package, which should list transfer fees, capital contributions and any pending assessment.
- Look up the parcel on the Clark County Treasurer site and confirm the tax district and any special improvement district assessment, which is billed separately from the standard tax bill. The county explains the program on its special improvement districts page.
- Ask whether the home was bought from a builder or a prior owner, and when it closed.
- Ask the listing agent for days on market and every price change since listing.
- Check the design review rules for any exterior change you plan, including a pool, solar, patio cover or landscape change.
- Run the zoned schools for the exact address through the CCSD Zoning Search, because attendance zones depend on the address.
- Confirm the water provider and the electric provider with the seller and set up service dates before closing.
- Compare the monthly total, not the price: principal and interest, tax, assessment, insurance and utilities.
- Ask what the builder, if one is still selling next door, plans to build on any vacant parcel near the lot you like.
What do the parks and shared amenities include?
Parks are an objective way to compare these two. Both communities publish park lists, and the lists are very different in structure. Skye Canyon names seven parks plus two indoor facilities, and the developer posts the features of each one. Providence names three community parks with street addresses and says nearly every sub-community also has a pocket park. Providence does not list park acreage on its association page, and Skye Canyon lists acreage only for Skye Canyon Park, so I did not compare acres.
| Community | Park or facility | Published features |
|---|---|---|
| Skye Canyon | Skye Canyon Park (15 acres) | Half-mile walking path, two covered play areas, splash pad, six pickleball courts, basketball court with six hoops, roller hockey rink, two dog parks, field with football and soccer goal posts |
| Skye Canyon | Skye Fitness (9,663 sq ft) | Junior Olympic pool, fitness equipment, class studio, personal training, Pilates reformer, TRX, locker rooms |
| Skye Canyon | Skye Center (8,142 sq ft) | Gathering spaces, stone fireplaces and fire pits, a bistro serving coffee |
| Skye Canyon | Eagle Canyon Park | Splash pad, play area, basketball court, play field, covered gazebos, walking path |
| Skye Canyon | Skye View Park | Two pickleball courts, tennis court, covered play area, large and small dog parks, play field |
| Skye Canyon | Big Skye, Starlight, Liberty Skye and Knight Skye parks | Basketball courts, covered play areas and shade structures in most; large and small dog parks at Big Skye and Liberty Skye; three pickleball courts and a splash pad at Knight Skye |
| Skye Canyon | Skye Canyon Marketplace | 250,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space including a 124,000 sq ft Smith's Marketplace (developer site) |
| Providence | The Promenade, 7195 Egan Crest Lane | Linear walking park with seating, landscaping and an interactive playground; described as the community centerpiece |
| Providence | Knickerbocker Park, 10695 Dorrell Lane | Workout stations along a nature trail, baseball field, playgrounds, splash pad, large and small dog parks |
| Providence | Huckleberry Park, 10325 Farm Road | Basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, multi-use fields, two playgrounds, large splash pad, large and small dog parks |
| Providence | Pocket parks and trees | Pocket parks in almost every sub-community, walking trails and paseos, more than 4,000 trees in water-conscious landscaping (association) |
Table 6. Park and amenity inventory as published, read November 13, 2026. Sources: skyecanyon.com facts and parks pages; Providence Master Homeowners Association community parks and new-homeowner pages. Skye View Park splash pad is listed on the developer site as "opening soon". No acreage is listed for any park other than Skye Canyon Park.
Count the features and a pattern shows up. Skye Canyon has an indoor fitness building with a Junior Olympic pool and a community center, and the developer says the community does not sell vacant lots, only single-family homes and townhouses. Providence has no indoor facility on the association page I read, but it has a nature trail at Knickerbocker Park, a large multi-court park at Huckleberry, and parks spread across the plan. Whether a pool building or a trail matters more is a taste question, and I am not going to pick one for you.
One practical point on the retail listed for Skye Canyon. The 250,000 square feet of retail and the 124,000 square foot grocery anchor come from the developer's own page, so treat them as the developer's description of the center and walk it yourself before you count on a specific tenant. For Providence, the developer's page refers to a Town Center on the upper west side of the valley, but that page carries a 2017 copyright date, so I would not rely on it for current tenants. If you want a view of how a different master plan documents its parks, the table in Moving to Mountain's Edge takes a parks-and-owner approach, and the Summerlin side of the valley is covered in Moving to Summerlin.
What property tax rate applies in each?
The Clark County Treasurer's tax rate table lists the City of Las Vegas district 200 combined rate at 3.2782 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal year 2026 to 2027, and most of the other districts with Las Vegas City in their name show the same rate, though two (districts 208 and 210) show 3.2732. Both communities have Las Vegas mailing addresses and are in northwest Las Vegas, but a mailing address is not a tax district. Pull the parcel on the Treasurer or Assessor site and confirm the district on the tax bill before you rely on 3.2782.
The number everyone gets wrong is the base. In Nevada the tax is calculated on assessed value, which the Clark County Assessor sets at 35 percent of taxable value, and taxable value is land at market plus the improvements at replacement cost less depreciation. It is not your purchase price. Two homes that sell for the same price can have different taxable values, and the abatement program limits how fast the bill can rise on qualifying homes. The county explains the cap on its tax abatement page. Because I cannot see a specific parcel's assessed value, the table below is an illustration with hypothetical assessed values and not a prediction for any home.
| Hypothetical assessed value | Annual tax at 3.2782 | Monthly equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $3,278 | $273 |
| $150,000 | $4,917 | $410 |
| $175,000 | $5,737 | $478 |
| $200,000 | $6,556 | $546 |
Table 7. Illustrative annual and monthly tax at the City of Las Vegas district 200 rate of 3.2782 per $100 assessed value, fiscal year 2026 to 2027. Source: Clark County Treasurer tax rate by district table, read November 13, 2026. Assessed values are hypothetical examples, not figures for any listed home. Before abatement caps and exemptions; special improvement district assessments are billed separately.
Use that table as a conversion, not a forecast. Ask the listing agent for the last tax bill on the home, which shows the parcel's actual taxable value and any special improvement district line. For how the same rate-per-$100 math looks next door in the City of Las Vegas and in North Las Vegas, see the Aliante vs Centennial Hills post, and for an unincorporated Clark County example, the Mountain's Edge post linked above.
What is the monthly payment at 7.11 percent, and what is the valley doing?
The Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey of November 12, 2026 put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.11 percent, down from 7.18 percent the week before. I used that number for the table below. It is a national average, not a quote, and your rate depends on credit, loan type, points and lock timing, which is your lender's lane. The point of the table is to show how the payment moves across the price range where these two communities overlap.
| Purchase price | P&I with 20 percent down | P&I with 10 percent down |
|---|---|---|
| $450,000 | $2,422 | $2,724 |
| $550,000 | $2,960 | $3,330 |
| $650,000 | $3,498 | $3,935 |
| $750,000 | $4,036 | $4,541 |
Table 8. Principal and interest only on a 30-year fixed loan at 7.11 percent (Freddie Mac, November 12, 2026), my arithmetic. Excludes property tax, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA assessments and utilities. Illustrative, not a loan offer or a rate quote.
Here is a worked example that adds the other recurring pieces. Take a $550,000 purchase with 20 percent down, which is close to the Skye Canyon median asking price of $549,900. Principal and interest is about $2,960 a month. Add $478 for tax at a hypothetical $175,000 assessed value, and you are at $3,438. If the home is in Providence with the $150 quarterly master assessment, add $50 a month and the total is $3,488. In Skye Canyon the assessment is unknown until you ask, so the total is $3,438 plus whatever the association charges. Homeowners insurance and utilities are on top of that. Run your own numbers with the payment calculator on our site.
The second table puts the valley in context, because a community-level comparison means little if the market under it is moving fast. These are valley-wide numbers from the Las Vegas REALTORS October report, and they are not specific to either community.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Median existing single-family price, October 2026 | $475,000, up 0.1 percent from October 2025 and below the $490,000 record set in May and June |
| Single-family sales, October 2026 | Down 11.9 percent from October 2025 |
| Active single-family listings without an offer | 8,112, up 7.6 percent |
| Months of supply | About six, up from just over four and a half a year earlier |
| Cash share of sales | 26.2 percent, against 26.5 percent a year earlier |
| Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average, November 12, 2026 | 7.11 percent (7.18 percent the prior week); 15-year 6.45 percent |

What does that mean for a buyer comparing these two? With about six months of supply and sales down nearly 12 percent from a year ago, the asking prices in Table 3 are starting points. A listing that has sat for months is where you have room to negotiate, and a listing that is new and priced near the community median usually does not. I will not tell you where the market goes from here, and neither will anyone who is honest. What I can tell you is how to read what is in front of you today.
Featured community: what should you know about Skye Canyon?
Skye Canyon is the featured community in this comparison, and Providence is the benchmark. You can see the live inventory on our Skye Canyon real estate page, which also carries the master plan summary and the market figures it cites.
Price range. On November 13, 2026 the 112 active listings on our page ranged from $376,990 to $1,149,000, with a median of $549,900. The developer says pricing starts "in the $300s", and our feed shows the lowest ask at $376,990.
Home types. The feed shows homes from 1,240 to 3,836 square feet, with lots from 0.03 to 0.23 acre. The developer describes single-family homes of one and two stories, paired homes and townhomes, and it says Skye Canyon does not sell vacant lots. Of the 112 listings, 61 are three-bedroom, 39 are four-bedroom, 11 are five-bedroom and one is a two-bedroom.
HOA structure. A master association exists, and there is a community association that organizes events, per the developer site. The dues are not published there. Many neighborhoods may add sub-association dues. Ask for the resale package before you write an offer.
Builders. The developer's facts page lists Century Communities and Toll Brothers, and its builders page lists Century Communities and LGI Homes. Century Communities became the master developer in January 2020, replacing Olympia Companies.
Parks and amenities. Seven named parks, Skye Center at 8,142 square feet and Skye Fitness at 9,663 square feet with a Junior Olympic pool. Skye Canyon Park is 15 acres. A resident benefit program called Skye Pass offers discounts at partner destinations, per the developer site.
Zoned schools. Skye Canyon's facts page names William and Mary Scherkenbach, James Bilbray and Kenneth Divich elementary schools, Ralph Cadwallader and Edmund Escobedo Sr. middle schools, Arbor View High School and Somerset Academy charter campuses, and says future elementary, middle and high schools are planned. Zoning depends on the address, so check each home with the CCSD Zoning Search.
Location facts. The community is at US 95 and Skye Canyon Park Drive, ZIP 89166. I left out drive times to the Strip, the airport and the nearest hospital because I could not verify them against a dated mapping source. Check them yourself at the hour you would drive.
Rules to read. Skye Canyon design review and rental rules were not published on the pages I read. Get the governing documents before you commit.
Frequently asked questions about Skye Canyon and Providence
Is Skye Canyon built out?
No, not according to its own developer, which lists active builders and 6,500 planned homes on 1,000 acres. The developer site was updated November 12, 2026 and shows Century Communities and LGI Homes, with pricing described as starting in the $300s. A 2020 Review-Journal report cited about 4,000 homes at buildout and 1,712 acres, so the planning numbers have changed over time. Ask the sales office how many homes have closed and how many lots remain, because planned totals are not built counts.
Is there new construction in Providence?
Very little, and I expect almost none among current listings. The last new-home project the press reported was Brownstones at Providence by Edward Homes, 30 townhouses on 3 acres, reported on August 12, 2020 as the last new-home development slated for the community. I did not check the seller on each of the 44 listings, so confirm whether any home was sold by a builder rather than by a prior owner.
How much is the Providence HOA fee?
The master assessment is $150 a quarter, or $600 a year, for 2026. Some neighborhoods add their own assessment, such as $38 a quarter in Easton Place and $105 a quarter in Oxford Commons. The association says the page is an example list, not a complete schedule, and that transfer fees and any special assessments are separate. Ask for the resale package for the specific home and confirm the amounts in writing.
What is the property tax rate in Skye Canyon and Providence?
The City of Las Vegas district 200 combined rate is 3.2782 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal year 2026 to 2027, per the Clark County Treasurer. That rate applies if the parcel is in that district, so confirm the district on the tax bill. Assessed value is 35 percent of taxable value, not the purchase price. A special improvement district, if one applies to the parcel, is billed separately from the standard tax.
What is the monthly payment on a $550,000 home at 7.11 percent?
Principal and interest is about $2,960 a month with 20 percent down, or $3,330 with 10 percent down, on a 30-year fixed loan. The 7.11 percent figure is the Freddie Mac national average of November 12, 2026, not a quote. Property tax, insurance, mortgage insurance, association assessments and utilities are extra. Your lender can give you an actual rate and payment.
What is Monument Hills, and does it affect Skye Canyon or Providence?
Monument Hills is a master-planned community of up to 6,000 homes announced on September 2, 2026 by the City of Las Vegas, on public land the city acquired from the Bureau of Land Management. Olympia Companies is the developer. The announcement gives no start date and does not say where the land sits relative to Skye Canyon or Providence, so I cannot say whether it affects either one.
Which has more homes under $500,000 right now, Skye Canyon or Providence?
Skye Canyon has more in absolute terms, 27 listings against 18, but Providence has a larger share, 41 percent against 24 percent. These counts are from the active listings on our community pages on November 13, 2026, and they are asking prices. Skye Canyon has 112 total listings and Providence has 44. The lowest Skye Canyon asking prices are on lots of 0.03 acre, while the lowest Providence asking prices start at $399,999.
Do I need approval to build a pool in Providence?
Yes, exterior modifications, including pools, need design review committee approval before work starts. The committee has up to 45 days to approve or deny a complete application, and there is a $35 application fee for pools and spas, water features and dwelling extensions. Applications can be filed through the resident portal. Skye Canyon design review rules were not published on the pages I read, so ask the association for them.

How can we help you decide between Skye Canyon and Providence?
Here are the trade-offs in plain terms. Skye Canyon is a community that is still being built, with more listings, a wider spread of lot sizes and home sizes, an indoor fitness building and seven named parks, and a dues figure you have to request. Providence is a finished community with larger homes at the median, a lower asking price per square foot, a published $150 quarterly master assessment, a published design review timeline, and almost no new-construction option. If you want to buy from a builder, Providence is probably not your answer. If you want to see every number in writing before you tour, Providence makes that easier.
What this data cannot show you is how long any home has sat, what it will actually sell for, what the sub-association charges on a specific street, how the home has been maintained, or how the drive works at your hours. It also cannot tell you what Monument Hills will mean for either community. Those answers come from the MLS history on a specific address, the resale package, an inspection, and a visit at the time of day you would actually be there.
If you would like to talk it through, I am glad to meet in person, walk both communities with you and pull the MLS history on the homes you like. Call (702) 830-9366 or use our contact page.
