Centennial Hills, NV

A master-planned stretch of the far-northwest Las Vegas Valley, inside the City of Las Vegas's own boundaries rather than unincorporated Clark County -- and one of the metro's fastest-building areas through the 2000s and 2010s.

What Centennial Hills is actually like

Centennial Hills sits in the far-northwest corner of the Las Vegas Valley and lies inside the City of Las Vegas's municipal boundaries -- unlike several other fast-growing valley suburbs, such as Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Enterprise, which are unincorporated Clark County rather than part of an incorporated city. Like much of the valley's outer ring, it was built out largely during the 2000s and 2010s, as master-planned residential development pushed north and west to fill in the remaining open desert land.

Housing stock is predominantly newer single-family subdivisions and townhome communities from that same build-out wave, giving the area a more uniform, suburban character than the valley's older, closer-in neighborhoods. Getting around means a car for nearly every trip: no rail, monorail, or bus-rapid-transit line reaches this far into the northwest valley, and RTC Transit's local bus routes are the only fixed-route service.

Home values in Centennial Hills

Centennial Hills FAQ

Is Centennial Hills part of the City of Las Vegas, or is it unincorporated like Summerlin?

It's inside the City of Las Vegas's own municipal boundaries, which sets it apart from several other well-known valley suburbs -- Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Enterprise are all unincorporated Clark County rather than part of an incorporated city. That means city services and permitting in Centennial Hills run through the City of Las Vegas, not the county.

Is there a Strip monorail stop or light rail near Centennial Hills?

No. The Las Vegas Monorail runs only along the Strip and doesn't extend into the northwest valley, the Maryland Parkway BRT corridor is on the opposite side of the valley, and the future Brightline West high-speed rail terminus (still under construction) is being built in Enterprise, on the south side. Centennial Hills relies on RTC Transit bus routes and cars.

Who supplies water and electricity in Centennial Hills?

Electric service is NV Energy, which serves nearly the entire Las Vegas Valley. Water comes from the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD), the same retail utility serving the City of Las Vegas and most unincorporated Clark County communities; LVVWD, like every valley water utility, draws its wholesale supply from the Southern Nevada Water Authority's Lake Mead/Colorado River allocation.

How hot does it get in Centennial Hills, and is it any cooler than the rest of the valley?

No -- Centennial Hills shares the same valley-wide climate as the rest of Las Vegas (unlike Boulder City, which sits at higher elevation and runs noticeably cooler). Summer highs average around 105°F and winter lows around 40°F, per NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for the McCarran/Harry Reid station.

Will an MLB Athletics game or a Golden Knights game be a short drive from Centennial Hills?

Not really, geographically -- Centennial Hills is in the far-northwest corner of the valley, while Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena, and the Athletics' future Strip ballpark (still under construction, targeted for February 2028) all sit near the Strip on the south end. The Las Vegas Aviators' ballpark in Summerlin, just to the south, is the closer pro-sports venue.
