Suburban golf community near Centennial Hills
Sixteen miles northwest of The Strip in Las Vegas, Painted Desert is a master-planned golf community offering a diverse range of homes centered around the Painted Desert Golf Club. “It’s a guard-gated golf community that’s been here for over 30 years; it’s very established,” says David Lee, owner of Painted Desert Realty, who has over 20 years of local experience. Interstate 11 provides easy access around the Las Vegas metro area, and shopping, dining and entertainment are just outside of the neighborhood. “Centennial Hills is across the street with Walmart, Trader Joe’s and tons of restaurants and bars,” Lee says. “The best thing about living here is you don’t have to drive far to anything.”

Painted Desert Golf Club and nearby parks
Set with distant mountain views, Painted Desert Golf Club’s 18-hole public course offers rolling green fairways lined with mature trees. There’s also a practice facility and pro shop, and members enjoy benefits like discounts, preferred tee times and golf clinics, as well as access to the pool, tennis courts and more. “It’s optional, but if you’re a homeowner, you get a discounted membership,” Lee says.
“There’s multiple parks all around Painted Desert,” Lee says. Two miles away, the 120-acre Centennial Hills Park is popular for its dog park, lily pad-themed splash area and sports like pickleball, soccer and sand volleyball. The 680-acre Floyd Lamb Park is a haven for wildlife aficionados, where birders can spot local avians like marsh wrens and red-tailed hawks. There are also a few fishing ponds stocked with channel catfish, and the park’s dirt-packed trails are shared by hikers and mountain bikers.
