The Lakes is a master planned community and a true icon of Las Vegas that has been around since the 80s. This well-established community enjoys a strategic location. While it is located within Las Vegas’s city limits, it is also very close to Downtown Summerlin, only 3 to 4 miles away. The Las Vegas Strip, meanwhile, is only about 7 miles to the east.
This puts The Lakes in a prime spot, and it’s one of the reasons why it has remained so successful throughout the years.
The main draw of The Lakes is the man-made Lake Sahara, which, interestingly enough, is one of two previously planned lakes. The community was originally intended to have two lakes instead of one, hence the name.
The Lakes is a large community with over 4,000 homes distributed among a mixture of gated neighborhoods, each of which has unique residential offerings.
