The Scotch 80s is one of Las Vegas’s most storied residential enclaves—a 120‑acre planned community dating back to the 1950s that still exudes mid‑century glamour. Originally purchased in the early 1910s by a group of Scotch businessmen for Mayor Peter Buol, the neighborhood was designed as Las Vegas’s first luxury master‑planned community and became a haven for entertainers and captains of industry; former residents include Howard Hughes, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Mature trees, wide streets and half‑acre or larger lots give the area a park‑like feel. Homes range from mid‑century modern ranches and Spanish Revival villas to Tudor‑inspired estates. Many properties boast private pools and tennis courts and have been thoughtfully updated to respect the neighborhood’s vintage charm.

Residents prize the Scotch 80s’ sense of seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Despite its leafy streets, the community sits only about 10 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, with quick access to the Arts District, North Premium Outlets and the airport. The location also places Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains within a short drive for hiking and biking. Neighbors describe a tight‑knit, welcoming atmosphere where residents host block parties and work together to preserve the area’s historic character. Landscaping rules and homeowner efforts keep the community’s tree‑lined streets and 1950s architectural heritage intact. Nearby schools include Wasden Howard Elementary, Hyde Park Junior High and Clark High, and everyday needs are met by nearby shopping, dining and medical facilities. With its blend of historic pedigree, large lots and mature landscaping, celebrity heritage and close proximity to the Strip, Scotch 80s offers a unique lifestyle for those seeking classic Las Vegas elegance.
