Northwest Las Vegas suburb with mountain views and everyday essentials
About 20 miles northwest of The Strip, La Madre Foothills is a Las Vegas suburb comprised of several master-planned communities offering 21st-century homes near schools, parks and dining. “You have all the big mountains behind you,” says Dan Sandoval, a Realtor with Keller Williams Marketplace, who has over 8 years of experience. “In the northwest, there aren’t many casinos, so you’re not getting the touristy things.” Residents here are centrally located between Nellis Air Force Base, 20 miles east, and Creech Air Force Base, 33 miles northwest. “It’s a good area for military folks,” Sandoval says. “There’s good access to the VA Hospital, which is a state-of-the-art facility.” RTC Transit buses stop along the neighborhood’s thoroughfares, and Interstate 11 is about 3 miles away.
Schools for all ages in the neighborhood

Teens attend the B-rated Centennial High, which offers over 30 clubs and extracurriculars, including archery, board games and Dungeons & Dragons.

Neighborhood parks and desert mountain hiking
There are a handful of parks throughout the neighborhood, including several within master-planned Providence. The 15-acre Knickerbocker Park is Providence’s largest, offering a covered playground, playing fields and a splash pad that’s popular for cooling down when summer temperatures top 100 degrees. There’s also The Promenade, a garden and walking park with a tree-shaded half-mile trail. Nearby, Gilcrease Brothers Park offers sports like horseshoe, bocce and shuffleboard. “You get a lot of outdoorsy people here,” Sandoval says. “You’re getting up in the mountains which offers summer activities like mountain biking and a lot more stuff going on up there.” Lone Mountain Regional Park is less than a mile away, with panoramic views of the surrounding Mojave Desert and dirt-packed trails shared by hikers, bikers and horseback riders. The park’s popular for wildlife viewing, and birders can try to spot native avians like Gila woodpeckers, turkey vultures and prairie falcons here. Sandoval recommends Gilcrease Orchard, 5 miles away, for a day out. “It’s a large apple orchard that’s a pretty little place to take your family,” Sandoval says.
Lone Mountain Regional Park is great for hiking and outdoor sports like tennis and pickleball.

Four miles away, there are children’s programs at Cimarron Rose Center, including Messy Hands, an arts program, and The Fun Zone for early childhood play and learning; adults can sign up for weekly classes, like ceramics, ballet and yoga. Seasonal events are hosted here, too, like the Halloween Spooktacular with trick-or-treating, food and plenty of spooky activities, including a haunted maze.

21st-century homes set in master-planned communities
La Madre Foothills’ 21st-century homes are diverse, with many set in master-planned communities like Providence or the gated Alpine Estates. Monthly homeowners association dues range from $100 to $300 and go toward shared spaces and community upkeep.
Single-family homes are typically new traditional, though architectural styles vary from subdivision to subdivision, including everything from Craftsman-style homes with board-and-batten shutters to Spanish-inspired abodes with white stucco facades, exterior archways and red clay-tiled roofs. These three- to five-bedroom homes typically have layouts ranging from 1,500 to 3,100 square feet with attached garages; front yards are gravel-packed with low-water plantings like agave or pygmy date palms, and backyards often include covered patios, rock gardens or the occasional private pool. There are a handful of larger custom homes with 2,500- to 7,000-square-foot layouts and acre-sized lots that allow for luxury spas and pools, multi-car garages or horse barns; many of these homes back up to sweeping stretches of the Mojave Desert with distant mountain views.
The median home price here is $525,000, compared to The Strip's $390,000. Single-family homes range from about $400,000 to $900,000, while custom homes range from $900,000 to $3 million—both ranges depending on size and features.
