The Lakes at a Glance

What it feels like to live in The Lakes.

The Lakes is one of Las Vegas's most distinctive established communities — a planned neighborhood built around a series of man-made lakes and waterways in the Spring Valley area, near the intersection of Desert Inn and Durango. Mature trees, lakeside walking paths, HOA-maintained common areas, and a strong neighborhood identity distinguish it from the valley's newer master-planned communities. Homes range from townhomes and condos on the water to larger single-family properties, and the community draws buyers who value established character, walkability, and proximity to employment corridors near the 215 and Summerlin.
