Summerlin real estate is spread across a number of villages, each of which contains multiple neighborhood communities, all built strictly according to code set by the overall master plan. The newest of these is called The Paseos, positioned along a mountain slope to provide excellent views of The Strip and Las Vegas Valley. Very popular among the more established villages is The Arbors, known for its public community center, a large recreation and sports park complex, as well as a unique toddler tricycle track and play area called Arborville.
