Lakes Real Estate
The Lakes Homes for Sale & Real Estate in Las Vegas
The Lakes is an established master-planned community on the west side of Las Vegas built around Lake Sahara, a roughly 30-acre man-made lake. Developed beginning in the 1980s, The Lakes offers something unusual in the Las Vegas Valley: waterfront homes, mature landscaping, established neighborhoods, and a central west-valley location near Summerlin.
Homes and Neighborhoods in The Lakes
The Lakes includes a mix of single-family homes, condos, townhomes, gated neighborhoods, and luxury properties.
Housing varies considerably by subdivision, with options ranging from more traditional suburban homes to larger custom and lakefront residences. Because the community was developed over several years, buyers will also find a wide range of home ages, architectural styles, lot sizes, renovation levels, and HOA structures.
Lake Sahara and Waterfront Homes
Lake Sahara is the centerpiece of the community and one of the defining features of The Lakes.
The lake was developed in the mid-1980s and supports limited boating and fishing under community rules. Some homes have direct lake frontage or water views, creating a property type that is relatively uncommon in Las Vegas.
Waterfront properties can vary substantially in value depending on exact lake position, dock access, views, lot size, condition, and updates.
West Las Vegas Location
The Lakes is located roughly between Sahara Avenue, Desert Inn Road, Durango Drive, and Fort Apache Road in west Las Vegas.
Its location puts residents close to Summerlin, Boca Park, Tivoli Village, Downtown Summerlin, Red Rock Casino, and other west-valley shopping, dining, and entertainment while maintaining a more established neighborhood feel.
Buying or Selling in The Lakes
Buyers should compare:
Lakefront versus interior properties
HOA rules and fees
Gated versus non-gated sections
Home age
Renovation quality
Lot size
Water views
Dock or shoreline access
Property condition
Recent sales within the same subdivision
For sellers, lake frontage, views, remodeling, and subdivision can matter far more than broad ZIP-code averages.
If you're considering buying or selling in The Lakes, I can help you compare neighborhoods, evaluate lakefront and non-lakefront properties, analyze recent sales, and determine how The Lakes compares with nearby Summerlin, Peccole Ranch, and other west Las Vegas communities.
