A Master-Planned Community Rising from the Old Badlands Golf Course
A New Chapter for Summerlin Real Estate
The Las Vegas landscape is preparing for a major transformation with the announcement of The Preserve, a new master-planned residential community by Lennar. Set to begin development in the coming years and open in 2028, The Preserve will rise on the site of the former Badlands Golf Course—one of the most debated parcels of land in the region.
Located at Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard, this 250-acre community will blend thoughtful planning with elevated architecture, offering future residents access to one of the most desirable locations in the western Las Vegas Valley.
Project Overview: The Preserve by Lennar
-
Total Units: 1,480 homes
-
Home Types: A mix of townhomes, condominiums, and estate-style single-family homes
-
Community Features: Gated streets, private homeowner amenities, and over 90 acres of open space
-
Design Concept: Modern elegance designed for lasting appeal, with an emphasis on architectural quality and community integration
Signage at the site captures the development’s vision: “Reclaiming the Badlands – Redefining Luxury.”
From Golf Course to Neighborhood: A Long-Awaited Vision
The Preserve is the result of years of negotiation, planning, and community dialogue. The former Badlands Golf Course sat vacant for over a decade following legal disputes and development moratoriums. With city approvals now in place, Lennar plans to bring long-awaited activity—and residential opportunity—to this underutilized section of the valley.
This will be one of the most ambitious residential infill projects in Summerlin, designed to preserve the character of surrounding neighborhoods while introducing new housing options across multiple price points.

Why This Matters for Las Vegas Homebuyers and Sellers
The Preserve will introduce diverse, high-quality housing in a region where inventory continues to be a challenge. With thoughtfully designed townhomes, mid-rise condominiums, and luxury residences, the community will serve a range of needs—from first-time buyers to move-up homeowners and downsizers.
In addition to its housing diversity, the development’s location places it minutes from existing Summerlin amenities, including parks, golf courses, shopping, and top-rated schools.
For sellers in nearby communities, The Preserve represents a new source of market interest. For buyers, it offers a rare chance to own a home in a new master-planned community within the established Summerlin corridor.
