New construction in Southwest Las Vegas
Buying a newly built home in Las Vegas with your own agent working for you, not the builder.
What's really out there
If you're searching for new construction in Southwest Las Vegas, it helps to know the shape of the area first. Most southwest homes were built in the 1990s. Mountain's Edge came later, built from the early 2000s by builders including Toll Brothers, Pulte and Richmond American. So much of what you'll see here is resale, and the newest homes tend to be in the master-planned communities.
We'll check what's being built right now before you decide, and compare it with resale homes nearby.

New versus resale in the southwest
- Price. Southwest resale homes started from about $350,000 as of September 2026. Compare any new build with resale homes of similar size nearby.
- Lot size. Many 1990s homes sit on about a quarter-acre. Newer homes don't always have larger lots, though parts of Mountain's Edge offer single-story homes on bigger ones.
- Upkeep. A new home has new systems. A 1990s home may need a roof or air conditioning sooner.
- HOA. Newer master-planned communities usually have HOA dues. In Mountain's Edge they averaged about $100 a month as of September 2026.
Your own agent at the sales office
The builder's sales team works for the builder. Having your own agent means someone on your side comparing the new home with the resale market and keeping you updated by phone and text. Builder contracts are the builder's documents, so ask them in writing about anything unclear, and talk with an attorney if you need legal advice. See our new construction page and how we help you buy.
If you're selling to buy new
New construction runs on the builder's schedule, so plan your sale with some flexibility. Your current home gets our full selling process. See how we sell. Read more about Southwest Las Vegas, or ask us to come along to the model home.

- Mostly built in the 1990s. One- and two-story homes, typically 3 bedrooms with a two-car garage. Most sit on about a quarter-acre lot; a smaller share are on half-acre or one-acre lots. Many communities are gated without a guard. The guard-gated exceptions are the golf-course communities at Rhodes Ranch and Spanish Trail.
- Why people choose it

- Nearby
- Big-box shopping close by: a new Costco, Sam's Club, Best Buy and IKEA, with a Life Time gym opening soon. Local casinos with movie theaters inside, so there is no need to drive to the Strip. A wide choice of restaurants.
