Centennial Hills

Centennial Hills

The established Northwest valley anchor — family-targeted, US-95-accessible, Summerlin-adjacent value.

Centennial Hills is the established residential area in Northwest Las Vegas, generally bounded by US-95 to the east, Grand Teton Drive to the south, and Centennial Parkway to the north. The neighborhood matured in the 2000s-2010s and now represents some of the best value in the valley for buyers looking for established Summerlin-adjacent geography at meaningfully lower price points than Summerlin itself.

Centennial Hills is not technically a single master-plan but a collection of communities and HOAs sharing a postal-code identity and a school-attendance zone. Iron Mountain Ranch, Providence (which overlaps), Sun City Aliante (just north), and several smaller HOA enclaves all fall under the Centennial Hills umbrella. Housing stock is predominantly single-family detached, with home sizes from 1,800 to 4,500+ square feet on lots ranging from zero-lot-line to quarter-acre.

Centennial High School is the area’s comprehensive public high school and is consistently rated among the better Las Vegas public high schools per niche.com. Several newer elementary and middle schools serve the area’s family-heavy buyer pool. School data at greatschools.org.
