Centennial Hills is not one subdivision. It is the whole northwest corner of the city of Las Vegas, roughly zips 89149, 89131, 89143 and 89166, running from the 215 Beltway north toward the Spring Mountains. The name came out of a city naming contest in January 2001, and the area covers over a third of the city's land area. So when someone says they are looking in Centennial Hills, they could mean a 1990s tract off Lone Mountain or a brand new plan in Skye Canyon. What holds it together is the build era and the layout. Most of what you will tour went up from the 1990s forward, on wide streets, with the master plans of Providence and Skye Canyon anchoring the newer end and Lone Mountain, Eldorado, Elkhorn and Iron Mountain Ranch covering the established side. The public amenities here are unusually good for a suburban area: Centennial Hills Park, Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, a city community center run by the YMCA, a regional library and a 226-bed hospital. The trade you are making is drive time. You are at the far northwest edge of the valley, which means more freeway for anything on the Strip or the airport side. It also means you get newer construction and more square foot per dollar than you will find in Summerlin. Median sale price ran about $494,761 in August 2026, against a valley-wide single-family median of $475,000 the same month. |
Centennial Hills at a glance
|
Because Centennial Hills covers so much ground, the housing stock is not one thing. The established sections toward Lone Mountain, Eldorado and Iron Mountain Ranch are largely 1990s and 2000s tract product, single-story and two-story, on standard suburban lots. Move north and west into Providence and Skye Canyon and the homes are newer, the streetscapes are more planned, and attached product shows up in the mix.
The largest single build cohort landed between 1990 and 1999, with meaningful volume added in the 2000s, the 2010s and again after 2020. That is a long build window, and it is why two homes eight minutes apart can feel like different markets. Single-story availability is better here than in a lot of the valley, but it goes subdivision by subdivision, not area-wide.
| Home type | Character | Active listing range |
|---|---|---|
| Townhome / condo | Attached product, concentrated around the newer master plans and near Centennial Center retail | ~$235K to ~$360K |
| Resale single-family | 1990s and 2000s tract homes across Lone Mountain, Eldorado, Elkhorn and Iron Mountain Ranch, single- and two-story | ~$275K to ~$1.4M |
| New construction | Skye Canyon plus remaining phases in Providence and the Tule Springs area | Plans advertised from the $400s; listings ~$620K to ~$640K |
Ranges are active-listing spans as of August 2026, not closed-sale medians by product type. Ask me for a closed-sale band on the specific sub-area you are considering.
The public amenity package is the part people underrate. You have a regional park, a 2,040-acre city park with fishing ponds, a national monument, a city community center and a library, all inside or right at the edge of the area. None of it is behind an HOA gate.

Centennial Hills Park
A 160-acre city regional park at 7101 N. Buffalo Drive with an amphitheater, ice-age fossil themed trails built around a historic inverted riverbed, soccer and football fields, a dog park, and two themed playgrounds with splash pads. The Centennial Hills Library sits next door. |
Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs
A 2,040-acre city park on the north end with four stocked fishing ponds: Tule Springs Lake, Mulberry, Cottonwood and Desert Willow. Peacocks, herons and ducks are a normal sight around the water. |
|
Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument
A 22,650-acre national monument established in December 2014, with a north unit entrance at Durango and Moccasin. It protects Pleistocene fossil beds and runs hiking and ranger programs in spring and fall. |
Community center, library and retail
The Centennial Hills Community Center at 6601 N. Buffalo Drive is a city facility operated by the YMCA of Southern Nevada, with an aquatic center, gymnasiums, group exercise and a licensed preschool. Retail is covered by Centennial Center, a 327,651-square-foot power center anchored by Walmart, Home Depot, Ross, HomeGoods and Michaels. |

Median sale price, August 2026, up 3.1% year over year
The Centennial Hills median ran $494,761 in August 2026, at $246 per square foot, 54 median days on market, and a 98.7% sale-to-list ratio. Compare that to the valley-wide number for the same month: $475,000 for existing single-family homes, down 1.0% from August 2025, with 7,590 single-family listings sitting without offers. So Centennial Hills is running slightly above the valley median and holding a touch better year over year. Automated valuation models read lower and softer, with one home value index at $448,555 as of May 2026, down 3.0% over the prior year. That gap is normal. One is reporting closed sales inside a defined boundary, the other is modeling all homes including ones that never sold. The honest read is a flat to slightly soft market with more inventory than we had a couple of years ago and buyers taking their time. Fifty-four days on market means pricing right out of the gate matters more than it did. Price and days-on-market figures are for the Centennial Hills neighborhood boundary, August 2026, which will not match an MLS subdivision search exactly. |
HOA, in plain terms
There is no single master HOA over Centennial Hills. It is dozens of separate sub-associations, each set up by whichever builder developed that tract, so fees and rules vary street to street. Some newer tracts also carry SID or LID assessments, which are bond payments for roads, sewer, water and public improvements. Unlike HOA dues, those eventually pay off. Always ask for the actual HOA resale package and a current SID/LID payoff statement before you get past inspection. Getting around

Market figures use the Centennial Hills neighborhood boundary. Population and housing-unit counts are left out because the published figures use a different footprint than the 89149 / 89131 / 89143 / 89166 zips.
Yes, and it is one of the few parts of the valley with real dirt left. Skye Canyon is the engine: a 1,700-acre master plan approved for roughly 9,000 homes at buildout, with builders actively selling and amenities already in the ground, including Skye Canyon Park, the Skye Center, a fitness facility with a junior Olympic pool, and the Skye Canyon Marketplace. Providence, a roughly 1,200-acre master plan, is far closer to finished, with its final neighborhoods delivered in recent years.
The infrastructure caught up too. The Centennial Bowl, where I-11/US-95 meets the CC-215 Beltway, finished its last flyover in December 2023 after a $272 million buildout. That was the single biggest fix to the northwest commute in twenty years. What it means for a buyer is that you are not betting on future access, it is already built, and remaining new-home supply is concentrated in Skye Canyon and the Tule Springs area rather than spread across the whole northwest.
Tell me which of these four sounds like your list and I can narrow a 30-square-mile area down to three or four subdivisions in one conversation.
|
You want newer construction
Skye Canyon off US-95, plus remaining phases in Providence and the Tule Springs area.
|
You want an established resale with a bigger lot
Lone Mountain, Eldorado, Elkhorn and Iron Mountain Ranch, mostly 1990s and 2000s build.
|
|
You want low or no HOA
Older non-HOA pockets exist on the Lone Mountain and Eldorado side. Fees run subdivision by subdivision, so this is a filter we apply listing by listing.
|
You want to walk to parks and public amenities
The Buffalo Drive corridor near Centennial Hills Park, the library and the community center.

The honest pros
More square foot per dollar than you will find in Summerlin
Strong public amenity base: a 160-acre regional park, a 2,040-acre city park, a community center, a library and a hospital Real new-construction inventory still available, which is rare this late in the valley's buildout |
The honest trade-offs
Longest drive in the valley to the Strip and the airport side, and longer still at rush hour
No single master HOA, so rules, fees and amenity access change from tract to tract Some newer subdivisions carry SID or LID bond assessments on top of HOA dues |

The tax math is the first thing most California buyers ask about, and it is straightforward. Nevada has no state income tax. On the property side, Nevada caps the annual increase on a tax bill at 3% for an owner-occupied primary residence, with other property capped at up to 8%. That abatement is not automatic in every situation: recording an ownership document can knock it off, and new construction does not qualify in its first fiscal year, so confirm your abatement status with the Clark County Assessor after closing. The second thing is price. A Centennial Hills median of roughly $494,761 in August 2026 buys newer construction on a normal suburban lot, which is a different value proposition than most California metros. Where you will feel the adjustment is drive time and the fact that this is the far edge of the valley. If being close to the airport matters for work travel, we should talk about that before you fall in love with a floor plan. Plan Your Move to Las Vegas |

No. Centennial Hills is an area of northwest Las Vegas covering roughly zips 89149, 89131, 89143 and 89166, and it takes up over a third of the city of Las Vegas by land area. It contains master plans, Skye Canyon and Providence being the two biggest, but the area itself is not one.
The median sale price was $494,761 in August 2026, up 3.1% year over year, at $246 per square foot. Automated valuation models read lower, around $448,555 as of May 2026. One is measuring closed sales, the other is modeling all homes, which is why the two differ.
There is no single master HOA. The area is made up of dozens of separate sub-associations set up by the builders who developed each tract, so dues and rules vary by subdivision. Some newer tracts also carry SID or LID bond assessments for infrastructure, which are separate from HOA dues and eventually pay off.
Centennial Hills is served by I-11/US-95 and the CC-215 Beltway, which meet at the Centennial Bowl. That interchange finished its final flyover in December 2023 after a $272 million buildout, which materially improved northwest access. Drive times to the Strip and the airport are still the longest in the valley, so plan around that.
Yes. Skye Canyon is the main source, a 1,700-acre master plan approved for about 9,000 homes at buildout, with plans advertised from the $400s. New-construction listings in the area were running around $620K to $640K in August 2026.
Most of the housing stock dates from the 1990s forward, with the single largest build cohort landing between 1990 and 1999 and additional volume in the 2000s, the 2010s and after 2020. Practically, that means you can tour a 1996 resale and a 2026 build in the same afternoon.
