Lake Las Vegas is among the only communities in Southern Nevada where custom homes are expected and not unusual. Buyers come to Lake Las Vegas to get something they cannot find elsewhere. Buyers are looking for homes with creative intent, with thoughtful planning and consideration for how the house relates to its surroundings.
With over 25 years experience in both custom residential real estate and brokerage; as a Broker with Simply Vegas Real Estate, and as a resident of Roma Hills who works in Lake Las Vegas daily; I have evaluated literally hundreds of custom homes in the Lake Las Vegas area. While all custom homes are different, it is possible to identify key elements that differentiate truly high-quality custom homes from those that are merely adequate.
This Guide provides insight into what truly sets apart a quality custom home at Lake Las Vegas and why such homes are uniquely positioned to perform exceptionally well in the Luxury Home Market.
Custom Homes at Lake Las Vegas are designed to relate to the land and the water
While other Luxury Communities typically see homes designed first and then placed on a parcel of land; custom homes at Lake Las Vegas are often designed based on the site conditions (water orientation, natural light patterns, indoor-outdoor flow, courtyards/patios, etc.) creating homes that appear to be part of the landscape.
Key characteristics of high-quality custom homes at Lake Las Vegas include:
Water or view orientation
Natural light during the day
Indoor-outdoor transition areas
Courts/Patio
Private settings, yet not isolated
Smooth transition from inside to outside spaces
The top custom homes seem to fit perfectly into their surroundings.
Variety of Architectures is an Asset
No two streets look alike
There are numerous architectural styles represented within the custom homes found at Lake Las Vegas, including:
Mediterranean Villas
Italian influenced Estates
Desert Contemporary Modern homes
Transition style homes
Waterfront custom homes
This diversity is attractive to buyers seeking originality and architectural personality. This diversity also helps create a neighborhood that feels organic vs. contrived.
To luxury buyers, this distinction is very important.
Lot Choice Affects Value
Custom Homes are only as good as their placement
One of the largest mistakes buyers make is to ignore the lot and only evaluate the house. Lot choice has a direct impact on:
Privacy
View(s)
Noise levels
Sun exposure
Usability of outdoor living areas
Long-term Value
Time and again, we have seen that custom homes located on premium lots outperform others, even if interior finishings are similar.
That is why broker knowledge is essential when evaluating custom property.
Privacy is a Design Element in Many Custom Homes
Creative thinking maximizes quiet living
Many custom homes in Lake Las Vegas were specifically designed to provide maximum privacy to residents via:
Window placement strategy
Courtyard layout
Building elevation
Landscaped buffer
Minimum rear neighbors
By incorporating these design features, owners can utilize their outdoor living space without being exposed to neighbors or traffic.
Privacy continues to be one of the leading factors contributing to the value of custom homes at Lake Las Vegas.
Quality of Interiors and Craftsmanship Outweighs Square Footage
Quality of construction is a priority over quantity
When luxury buyers tour custom homes, they are concerned with the quality of the interior and the craftsmanship used, not just the square footage of the home. They inspect:
Materials selected
Quality of build
Cabinetry
Stonework
Floors
Ceilings
Lighting Design
High-quality execution in a small custom home will always outperform a large but low-quality custom home.
In Lake Las Vegas, luxury buyers are educated and immediately recognize differences in interior quality.
Custom Homes Have Different Value Retention
Characteristics and scarcity add stability
Because custom homes in Lake Las Vegas have:
Low Supply
Distinctive designs
Emotional Appeal
Driven by Lifestyle and Relocation
Interest from relocation buyers
Custom homes with strong design and location are likely to retain value better than generic homes in a changing market. They are difficult to replace and buyers realize this.
Potential For Renovations Can Be Exceptionally High
Some Custom Homes Provide Great Opportunity for Updates Without Sacrificing Original Characteristics
Some buyers seek custom homes that have renovation opportunity. Lake Las Vegas offers many examples of homes that have original architecture that can be elevated with modern updates.
Strategically, successful renovations often focus on:
Opening up floor plans
Upgrading Kitchens
Upgrading Bathrooms
Enhancing Outdoor Living Areas
Increasing Natural Light Flow
If done properly, renovations can produce significant long-term value increases.
