Craig Ranch: A tight-knit, vibrant master-planned community in North Las Vegas
In the heart of the Mojave Desert, away from the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip, lies Craig Ranch. Part of North Las Vegas, Craig Ranch is a master-planned community centrally located near shopping and dining, the Nellis Air Force Base and highways. “The area has had quite a bit of expansion; new hospitals, new parks and new homes, all making it a super convenient place to live,” says Blake Bonvicin, Realtor for RE/MAX, a Las Vegas native working in the area for over 10 years. Winning “Best Planned Community” in 2020 in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas annual contest, Craig Ranch’s appeal extends beyond its strategic location and luxury modern homes. It’s also home to 5 miles of trails, is a short drive to Lake Las Vegas and the Frenchman Mountains and its tight-knit community is united around Craig Ranch Regional Park, the beating heart of activity and celebrations for the area.
Developed by homebuilder Century Communities, Craig Ranch consists of six subdivisions.

A hub of activity at Craig Ranch Regional Park
Whether newcomers are looking for leisurely outings with the family or rugged treks through the mountains, Craig Ranch is central to a variety of outdoor activities. The community is home to seven parks in the area, one 3-acre private park, and 5 miles of interconnecting trails with exercise stations. The community's crown jewel is the 170-acre Craig Ranch Regional Park, within walking distance of residents’ front doors. The expansive space offers three dog parks, a 65,000-square-foot skate park, an amphitheater with seating for over 10,000, two basketball courts, a community garden and plenty of open green space. At one of two playgrounds, kids can climb on a giant rabbit or fiberglass tarantula, go down a rattlesnake slide, run among plastic 6-foot-tall flowers or hang in a treehouse that plays forest sounds. There’s also a nature discovery area at the edge of the park’s pond for them to explore. With the park running along a major thoroughfare, residents can easily walk from their houses to the park and then grab a bite or a sweet treat at one of the shops and restaurants nearby. The community’s 14-acre Sandstone Ridge Park also provides plenty of recreation, like baseball, lit basketball courts and a trailhead leading to the North Las Vegas Regional Trail System. Avid hikers looking to trek deeper into nature are only 11 miles from the Frenchman Mountain Trailhead and 18 miles from Lake Mead National Recreation Area to the east.
Residents of Craig Ranch have easy access to skate parks and athletic fields.

Central to shopping, dining and entertainment
Most shopping and dining options are along West Craig Road, the community’s southern boundary. “Craig Road is now known as Restaurant Row in North Las Vegas, and we’ve seen more than 25 restaurants open in just the last two years,” says Greg Bortolin, communications director for the City of North Las Vegas. Here, residents can get sandwiches and burgers at the log cabin-themed Lumberjack Restaurant, authentic Mexican specialties at El Nopal or Korean BBQ in a cup at Cupbop. Pinkbox Doughnuts is also located along this road for a little something sweet. The main thoroughfare provides a variety of shopping options, including North Mesa Plaza, which offers PetSmart, Walmart and more. Residents can also get essentials in the center of town along West Ann Road. At Simmons Center, shoppers will find Albertson’s and another Walmart. The shopping plaza also offers eateries like Amazing Thai and Sean Patrick’s Pub & Grill, a 24-hour Irish bar with Dublin-style fish and chips and slot and video poker machines. Craig Ranch residents can head to the Cannery Casino Hotel for entertainment, a perk for those who want the Vegas Strip experience without battling the tourist crowds. “The Cannery Casino is one of the most popular places in the area,” Bonvicin says. “Even people who don’t like to gamble go there for dinner and to have a good time.”

Master-planned suburb with trails, a private park and upscale homes
Developed by homebuilder Century Communities, the gated neighborhood consists of six subdivisions. Most homes were built in the early 2000s and are priced between $370,000 and $1.8 million, and Bonvicin says there are plenty of available properties. “It has seen quite a bit of growth,” he says. Newcomers will find primarily Spanish and Mediterranean-style single-family homes here, along with condos. Jasmine Ranch subdivision offers two-bedroom condos starting at $260,000, and Centennial Crossing has more upscale condo options, offering four-bedroom 3,400-square foot properties topping out at $420,000. Craig Ranch gives newcomers a wide variety of single-family layouts, from three-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot homes to five-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot properties. Almost all homes come with multi-car garages, covered patios and trees, and many enjoy desert landscaping accented with fruit trees and towering palms. Higher-end homes, like those in the Seabreeze subdivision, come with guesthouses, garages with space for up to 10 cars, half-acre lots and private RV parks. A quiet suburb, Craig Ranch’s mature tree-lined streets have spacious sidewalks, and with the nearby walking trails, parks and schools, residents can easily walk to most amenities.

The beating heart of the community for celebrations
Craig Ranch Regional Park is the community hub for most events, gatherings and festivals, hosting over 40 a year. In the summer, its amphitheater is a hot spot for outdoor concerts, but the park also draws crowds with 5K runs, movie nights, a spring campout, a Pirate Fest and a Fiesta in the Park in May. The annual Color Run and National Xball League Las Vegas Open paintball tournament draw thousands each year. “The amphitheater provides residents with lots of family-friendly entertainment options,” says Bortolin. The San Gennaro Feast, held every May, is also widely popular. A day of Italian cuisine, music and vendors, the event attracts over 50,000 attendees a year.
