Where Centennial Hills Is
Centennial Hills is the far northwest of the City of Las Vegas, along the US 95 corridor and the northern stretch of the 215 Beltway. The main zip codes are 89131, 89143, and 89149, with parts of 89166. Some neighboring pockets are unincorporated Clark County rather than city, so confirm the jurisdiction for a specific parcel.
Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs sits inside the area, Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument borders it to the north, and Centennial Hills Hospital serves it. It is also the closest part of the valley to Mount Charleston by way of Kyle Canyon Road.
What The Housing Looks Like
- Mostly newer construction. Most homes were built from the late 1990s onward, largely single-family homes in planned subdivisions with associations.
- Larger lots in some pockets. Parts of the northwest include larger-lot and rural-preservation neighborhoods, some with no association at all. They trade differently from a standard subdivision, so compare like with like.
- Commute trade-off. You get more house and more quiet for the money than in the middle of the valley, in exchange for a longer drive to the Strip and the south end.
What To Check Before You Buy
- Association dues and rules for the specific subdivision, including any leasing restrictions if you might rent it out later.
- Special assessments. Some newer northwest parcels carry improvement district assessments on the tax bill. Ask for the balance.
- What is planned next door. The northwest is still filling in. A vacant parcel behind the house may not stay vacant. Check the zoning of the land around the home.
- School assignment for the exact address, which Clark County School District can change as new schools open.
- HVAC age and roof condition. Newer does not mean new. A home built in 2005 may be on its second air conditioner, or due for one.
Renting Out A Home Here
Centennial Hills appeals to long-term tenants who want a newer single-family home with a yard and are fine with a longer commute. For owners, newer construction usually means fewer surprise repairs in the first years, but budget for air conditioning anyway. In this climate it is a habitability item, not a comfort.
As anywhere in the valley, read the association's leasing rules before you buy for rental income, and do not plan on nightly rentals without confirming both the association and the city allow them.
