Mountain’s Edge community is a newer master planned community in Las Vegas. The community is located at Blue Diamond Road (Highway 160) and Buffalo Drive. The area is located less than five miles from I-215 and 20 minutes from McCarran International Airport. Mountains Edge is served by Interstates 15, 215 and 515 and several other major roadways. Ground broke on the community in February of 2004. Upon project completion, the community will offer 12,500 homes.
Nestled against the rugged foothills, Mountain’s Edge includes five community parks and an extensive trail system perfect for an evening walk. This beautiful masterplanned community located in southwest Las Vegas covering 3,000 acres. Currently 670 acres has been set aside for public facilities including 550 acres for parks alone. The community is themed in an old world style with aged stone walls and olive grooves. Mountain’s Edge will also have historical and cultural tie-ins such as settler history and replicated petroglyphs, as the original Old Spanish trail passes through the community.
Recreational opportunities abound in Exploration Park, a Western Theme Park. Old West Village features building facades, climbing structures, slides and other equipment. The park features ramadas, picnic areas, an archeological dig area, custom play equipment as well as a Native American Rope Structure.
Exploration Peak is the city’s first mountain park, with trails constructed that lead up to the top of 2,846-foot Exploration Peak. The series of hiking trails were designed for people of all ages, and include ramadas at two different stages. Exploration Peak is part of Exploration Park, which measures 80 acres and is the first of several parks planned for the community located at Blue Diamond Road and Buffalo Drive.
