Single-Story New Construction Homes in Summerlin

By Megan Stephens, REALTOR® · Realty ONE Group · Summerlin, Las Vegas

If you’re searching for a single-story new construction home in Summerlin, you’re in good company — one-level living is one of the most-requested features I hear from buyers relocating here, especially those coming from California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas who want to age in place, skip the stairs, or simply love an open, flowing floor plan. The good news: while much of Summerlin’s new construction is two-story, single-story options do exist across several villages and builders. Here’s how to find them and shop smart.

Why single-story homes are in high demand

Single-story (or “one-story”) homes appeal to a wide range of buyers: retirees and empty-nesters who want everything on one level, multi-generational families who need a main-floor bedroom suite, and anyone who prefers the ease and accessibility of no-stairs living. Because they’re popular and sit on wider lots, single-story plans in a master-planned community like Summerlin often carry a premium and sell quickly — so knowing where to look and getting registered early both matter.

Where to find single-story new homes in Summerlin

Most of Summerlin’s active building is happening in the western villages — Grand Park, Kestrel, Redpoint, Stonebridge, and Reverence. Several neighborhoods within these villages offer single-story floor plans, and a few are built specifically as single-story communities:

Availability shifts week to week, and single-story lots are often the first to go in any release. A neighborhood that’s “sold out” of single-story plans today may release more next month — which is exactly why a static online list never tells the whole story. I keep a running shortlist matched to your budget and floor-plan needs.

Single-story vs. main-floor primary suite

One tip that widens your options: if a true single-story home isn’t available in your favorite village, many two-story plans offer a main-floor primary bedroom suite — giving you the day-to-day, no-stairs living you want while keeping extra bedrooms and a loft upstairs for guests or family. Tell me your must-haves and I’ll flag both true single-story homes and first-floor-primary layouts.

Build from dirt or buy a quick move-in?

With single-story homes you can go either way: pick a lot and build, or buy a quick move-in home the builder has already started or finished. Because single-story inventory is limited, quick move-ins can be the fastest path to a one-level home — and standing inventory is often where builders are most motivated on incentives like rate buydowns and closing-cost credits. See what’s on the table this week in my Summerlin builder incentives report. If you also want to compare existing one-story resale homes, you can search single-story resale homes on the live MLS alongside the new-build options.

Shopping for a single-story home from out of state

You don’t need to fly in for every release. I tour models and available single-story homes for you live on FaceTime, film and send detailed walkthroughs, and keep a shortlist matched to your floor-plan and budget requirements. One critical step: register with me before you visit or inquire with any builder. On new construction the builder typically pays my commission — so my representation costs you nothing — but I have to be registered with you from your very first contact to protect it. The full process is on my how it works page.
