The golf courses are homeowner-owned as opposed to Siena and Sun City Anthem where this is not the case.  In terms of amenities, I would rate this community number one with more than just about everything. More tennis courts, hobby rooms, pools, and community centers. The elevation at Sun City Summerlin ranges from 2,459 ft. to 3,200 ft. above sea level.  It presently has a little different demographic than the rest of the local Del Webb communities. As the oldest of the communities, their residents are on average older than those in, for example, Sun City Anthem.

Homes in Sun City Summerlin

Conventional free standing homes range in size from 1119 to over 3,000 sq. ft. There are a few homes here built through the Del Webb “Gold Key” program that allowed considerable customization. Some of these homes will be larger than the model sizes.  The initial construction in this community was on relatively flat terrain. As the construction continued and moved to the west, homes were built at an increasingly higher elevation. The increased slope allows for many homes in the later phases to have more of an opportunity for valley/strip views. There were three separate phases of models allowing for many choices in floor plans and sizes.

“Villas” or patio style homes are part of the inventory of available homes at Sun City Summerlin. All of these homes share at least one common wall with one or more neighbors. Exterior and landscaping maintenance are handled through a separate association of homeowners. There are several of these neighborhood associations throughout the community. These home range in size from 1021 to 1799 sq. ft. These were built in basically three configurations, two attached units, three attached units and four attached units.
