Tucked into the foothills of northwest Las Vegas near Summerlin, Desert Shores unfolds across roughly 682 acres and contains more than 3,300 residences spread across 22 residential neighborhoods. Developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by RA Homes, the community was among the first in the valley to use water as a focal point. Its four spring‑fed lakes—Lake Jacqueline, Lake Sarah, Lake Lindsey and Lake Maddison—span about 125 acres and provide the backdrop for paddle‑boating, kayaking and catch‑and‑release fishing. Many lakefront homes have private docks, and a network of roughly nine miles of shoreline and interior paths connects pocket parks, duck ponds and fishing piers.

Resort‑style amenities create a vacation‑at‑home atmosphere. A 400,000‑gallon, fully filtered swim lagoon sits beside a sandy beach lined with palm trees and is open daily in summer. Adjacent to the lagoon are basketball and sand‑volleyball courts, picnic pavilions with barbecue grills, a toddlers’ playground and rental paddleboats and kayaks. Residents can host events in a 2,100‑square‑foot clubhouse that overlooks the main lake and features a prep kitchen and terraces. Additional neighborhoods include the Lakeside Core, where semi‑custom and custom homes have private docks; Desert Shores Racquet Club, a townhome enclave with its own clubhouse, pools and tennis courts; and Reflections & Expressions, offering more affordable attached and detached homes. Desert Shores also boasts gated sub‑associations, mature landscaping and strict architectural guidelines that help maintain curb appeal.

Housing options range from condos and single‑story cottages to custom lakefront estates. Architectural styles blend Mediterranean‑inspired villas with contemporary desert design, and many homes offer direct lake access or sweeping water and mountain views. The community’s location provides quick access to Summerlin Parkway, US‑95 and the 215 Beltway, putting Downtown Summerlin about 15 minutes away, the Las Vegas Strip about 20 minutes away and Harry Reid International Airport roughly 25 minutes away. Residents enjoy waterside dining, while nearby Lakeside Village offers shops and services within a short distance. With its blend of lakefront living, resort amenities, diverse housing and convenient city access, Desert Shores is a one‑of‑a‑kind oasis in Las Vegas.
