Rural life in the Las Vegas Valley

At the base of the River Mountains and Lake Las Vegas, Foothills gives residents a slice of rural living in the Las Vegas Valley. While the great outdoors is the appeal here, the mountain town is a short drive from Downtown Henderson, home to a vibrant shopping and dining district. With scenic mountain, valley and city views, trailheads in every direction and a laid-back feel, Foothills has become a favorite place for newcomers to settle.

A hiker's paradise

From playgrounds to decked-out dog parks, to expansive recreation centers and hiking trails, Foothills offers multiple opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The 10-acre Haley Hendricks Park is a destination for skateboarders and volleyball players alike to test their skills. At 160 acres, Heritage Park is the largest multi-use sports complex in the Las Vegas Valley. It offers ballfields, a splash pad, an amphitheater, outdoor classrooms and multi-purpose fields. The adjacent Heritage Park Aquatic Complex features two indoor pools and is open year-round. An eye-catching aspect of Heritage Park is the fenced-in, 5-acre Bark Park. Henderson’s largest, it was designed with input from pet owners and boasts a life-sized dog statue that pups can play on, bone-shaped benches, an agility course, a splash area, drinking stations and a giant doghouse-shaped pavilion with a mural of a bulldog. Kids can also let their imagination run wild at Mountain Lake Park, themed to reflect the Mojave Desert, where they can climb on giant, colorful lizard sculptures. Avid hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders also have a variety of adventures close by. Burkholder Trail, which connects to the area’s most popular River Mountains Loop Trail, can be accessed in Heritage Park and allows hikers to get to Lake Mead Parkway Trail. The 34-mile River Mountains Loop winds through the mountain range and links Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Hoover Dam and the rest of the valley. Hikers, cyclists and campers enjoy panoramic views of the valley, access to a network of other trails and catch glimpses of wildlife like bobcats and bighorn sheep. Lake Las Vegas is to the northeast, only an 8-mile drive for residents. A destination for boating, stand-up paddle boarding, flyboarding and other fun on the water, the lake also has a full-service marina with dining, a resort, golf, a shopping village and festivities like yacht cruises. Along the way, residents can stop at the Art Walk of the Lake Mead Parkway Trail, a community-led project that fills the trail with nature-based art like painted rocks, chalk designs and trail stone markers, known as cairns.

River Mountain Loop Trail is over 20 miles of paved paths through the desert wilderness.

Southwestern homes with unmatched mountain views

Foothills is a mix of new and resale single-family homes and townhouses, from quaint starter homes to expansive estates suitable for stabling horses. Desert contemporary designs dot the neighborhood, with ranch-style homes, Italian villas and Southwest Pueblo and Tuscan-style houses covering the landscape, ranging from $400,000 to $3 million. Newcomers can expect three- and four-bedroom 1,600-square-foot homes at the lower price point and five- and six-bedroom 4,500-square-foot houses at the higher end. Most structures were built in the mid-1990s, but there’s also new construction in the area from Beazer Homes and KB Homes. Crosswind Estates by Beazer Homes offers three- and four-bedroom houses starting at $500,000. For low-maintenance living, consider Juniper Trails, a Beazer Homes gated community of three- to four-bedroom townhomes starting at $345,000. The subdivision features a pool, spa, playground and dog park. Residents pay homeowners’ association fees. New properties in Talesera Hills, a late 2010s subdivision, are being built by KB Homes. They offer three to six bedrooms, modern amenities and open floor plans. Homes in this community come with multi-car garages, spacious pools, and unmatched mountain views. Higher-end dwellings boast expansive lots of up to 5 acres and large balconies leading to resort-style backyards with the best views of the valley, mountains and the Vegas Strip. For equestrian enthusiasts, some even come equipped with horse stalls, arenas and track rooms.
