Centennial Hills Homes for Sale and Community Guide
Why people pick Centennial Hills
It's the part of Las Vegas that still feels like a town. You can run errands at Target or Home Depot near the 95 and the 215, and ten minutes later you can be on a half-acre street with no sidewalks, a horse trailer in the driveway and a view of the Spring Mountains. Most of the valley doesn't have that range inside one area.
Marc has lived in the northwest since 1994, before most of these subdivisions went in. The name itself only dates to 2001, when the city ran a public contest and "Centennial Hills" won with 2,222 votes. The 215 came through in 2003, and the Centennial Bowl interchange at the 95 and 215 was finished in 2023, which made getting in and out of the northwest a lot easier.
What buyers tell us they like:
- The lots. Plenty of homes here sit on bigger lots than you'll find in the southwest, and in the rural preservation areas the city allows no more than two homes per acre.
- The parks. Centennial Hills Park, Floyd Lamb Park and the Tule Springs Fossil Beds are all inside or at the edge of the area.
- The price. The northwest has held its value better than the valley as a whole this year (more on that below).
- The mountain. Kyle Canyon Road and Lee Canyon are right there. Marc's mini ranch is out that way.
What they don't love: summer is summer, the city's own plan says the Kyle Canyon side is short on public schools, and if you're commuting to the south end of the Strip every day you'll feel it.
Centennial Hills market data
Numbers move every month, so each one carries its source and date.
| Measure | Centennial Hills | Zip 89131 | Las Vegas (valley) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $494,761 | $542,265 | $475,000 (single-family) |
| Change from a year earlier | up 3.1% | down 8.2% | down 1.0% |
| Median days on market | 54 | 51 | n/a |
| Sale price vs list price | 98.7% | n/a | n/a |
| Period and source | 3 months to Aug 2026, Redfin | 3 months to Aug 2026, Redfin | August 2026, Las Vegas REALTORS |
Two things stand out. The northwest as a whole held its value while the valley median slipped. And 89131, which includes Iron Mountain Ranch and the neighborhoods around Floyd Lamb Park, came down from a high year, so buyers there have more room to negotiate than they did in 2025.
Across the valley, Las Vegas REALTORS counted 7,590 single-family homes on the market without offers in August 2026, just over four and a half months of supply. That's a balanced market. Well-priced homes still sell; overpriced ones sit. You can see the monthly report on the Las Vegas REALTORS site.
Neighborhoods in Centennial Hills
Centennial Hills isn't one subdivision. It's dozens of them, plus the rural areas in between. These are the ones buyers ask us about most:
Rural Preservation Neighborhood
half-acre and larger lots, many with horse setups, no streetlights and often no HOA. The part of the northwest that looks like it did when Marc moved here.

Buying new in Centennial Hills
A lot of the new construction in the greater Centennial Hills area is happening at the edges: Skye Canyon (Toll Brothers, Century Communities and LGI Homes, per skyecanyon.com in September 2026), Sunstone (Lennar, Woodside and Richmond American) and the Kyle Canyon builders near the 95 (KB Home and Tri Pointe).
The friendly person in the builder's sales office works for the builder. You can bring your own agent, and we'll explain how buyer-agent pay works at that community before you sign anything. We go to the design center with you, and we make sure the decisions you can't easily change later get made up front: the pool electrical package, a gas line to the backyard for a grill or fire pit, and power at the back of the house. Adding those after the slab is poured costs a lot more. More on this in our new homes guide.

Things to do in Centennial Hills
Nobody moves to the northwest for the Strip.
- Centennial Hills Park. 120 acres on Buffalo Drive with an amphitheater that seats 3,000 on the grass, a dog park, splash pads and pickleball courts.
- Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs. A city park with fishing ponds, horse trails, the historic Tule Springs Ranch buildings and peacocks that act like they own the place. It's $6 per vehicle. Details on the City of Las Vegas park page.
- Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. 22,650 acres where mammoth and dire wolf fossils have turned up, run by the National Park Service. The access is off the north end of Durango.
- Gilcrease Orchard. A nonprofit orchard on Tenaya Way. Go in the fall for the pumpkin patch and apples.
- Bob Taylor's Ranch House. A steakhouse on Rio Vista Street that won a James Beard America's Classics award in 2026.
- Santa Fe Station. The locals casino on Rancho Drive, about six minutes from Centennial Hills Park.
- The Centennial Hills YMCA and Library. Both on Buffalo Drive. The Y runs pools and open-gym pickleball; the library opened in 2009.
- Lee Canyon. Skiing in winter, about 50 minutes up the mountain from Centennial Hills Park. A new chairlift and five new runs open in the West Bowl for the 2026-27 season.
For errands, the Centennial Center at Tropical Parkway and the 95 has Walmart, Sam's Club and Home Depot. Target is on Sky Pointe Drive. A Whole Foods has been announced for Tropical Parkway, with no opening date yet.
Getting around
Drive distances from Centennial Hills Park, without traffic:
| To | Distance | Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Summerlin | 14 miles | about 19 minutes |
| Fremont Street | 15 miles | about 20 minutes |
| The Strip (Bellagio) | 17 miles | about 29 minutes |
| Harry Reid Airport | 27 miles | plan on more at rush hour |
| Mount Charleston (Kyle Canyon) | 25 miles | about 42 minutes |
Most of it runs on the 95 and the 215. Centennial Hills Hospital, a 226-bed hospital on Durango that opened in 2008, is inside the area.
HOAs, horses and the fine print
This is where Centennial Hills gets tricky, and where we earn our keep.
- HOAs vary by street. Instead of one master association, most subdivisions have their own. Monthly dues we see usually run from about $25 to $150. Gated sections cost more. Some rural lots have no HOA at all.
- City or county? Most of Centennial Hills is City of Las Vegas. But there are about 4,000 acres of unincorporated Clark County land tucked inside the city's boundary, much of it in the rural areas. Zoning, animal rules and who answers a service call depend on which one your lot is in. We check this on every rural listing before you write an offer.
- Horses. Rural preservation zoning allows large-lot homes with animals, up to two homes per acre. How many horses a specific lot can hold depends on its zoning and size. Don't assume the barn in the listing photos is legal; we pull the zoning.
- Wells and septic. Some rural homes are on a private well and septic system rather than city water and sewer. That's normal out here. It just changes the inspections you'll want.
- RV parking. The MLS field is unreliable. A home listed with no RV parking might have a gate and a side yard; a home that says "RV parking" might mean a slab that fits a pop-up. We look.
Who Centennial Hills fits, and who it doesn't
You'll like it here if you want space, you like the mountains more than the Strip, and you're willing to drive 25 to 30 minutes for a night out. It's a harder fit if you need to be at the airport or the south end of the Strip every morning.
Compared to Summerlin, which buyers ask about constantly: Summerlin is one big master plan with one set of rules. Centennial Hills is a patchwork. You'll find bigger lots, more variety and more places where horses are allowed, and you'll need someone who knows which street is which.
Working with Marc & Michelle in Centennial Hills
We live here. Marc has been in the northwest since 1994 and rides out of his mini ranch near Kyle Canyon. We know which streets are city and which are county, which listings say "RV parking" when they mean a slab behind the fence, and what a horse setup should look like when you walk it. And when your inspection comes back with a list, Marc knows a guy for every line on it.
Our clients tend to stick around. They come to our cookie party and our Fourth of July party, and they send us their friends. Our clients become our friends, and that's how we like it.

Frequently asked questions about Centennial Hills
Is Centennial Hills a good place to live?
For most of our buyers, yes. It has bigger lots than most of the valley, Floyd Lamb Park, Centennial Hills Park and the Tule Springs Fossil Beds, several 5-star charter schools and a median sale price of $494,761 as of August 2026. The trade-off is distance: the Strip is about 30 minutes away without traffic.
What zip codes are in Centennial Hills?
There's no official boundary, but agents and buyers usually mean 89131, 89143, 89149 and 89166, with parts of 89129 and 89130 at the edges. Skye Canyon and most of Providence are 89166. Iron Mountain Ranch is 89131. If a specific address matters, we'll check it against the city's planning maps.
Is Centennial Hills part of the City of Las Vegas?
Mostly, yes. Centennial Hills is in the City of Las Vegas and is represented on the city council by Ward 6. About 4,000 acres of unincorporated Clark County land sit inside the city's outer boundary, mostly in rural pockets, so a few addresses answer to the county instead.
Can you have horses in Centennial Hills?
Yes, on the right lot. The rural preservation areas allow large-lot homes with animal keeping, up to two homes per acre. The number of horses depends on the lot's zoning and size, and some parcels are county rather than city. We check zoning on every horse property before you make an offer.
How much are HOA fees in Centennial Hills?
Most subdivisions charge somewhere around $25 to $150 a month, and each neighborhood has its own association rather than one master HOA. Gated sections run higher, and many rural lots have no HOA. Always ask for the resale package, which shows the current dues and any special assessments.
Centennial Hills or Summerlin?
Summerlin is one master plan with one set of rules. Centennial Hills is a mix of tract neighborhoods, newer builds and rural lots, often with more land and more places where horses and RVs are welcome. If you want uniformity, look at Summerlin. If you want room, look here.
