Elkhorn Springs Overview
Elkhorn Springs is an established single-family neighborhood in the Centennial Hills corridor of northwest Las Vegas (ZIP 89131), along the U.S. 95 and Elkhorn Road area near the Spring Mountains foothills. Homes date back to around 1996 and continued through the late 1990s and early 2000s, so the neighborhood is largely built out.
It sits within the broader Elkhorn district, an established suburban area spanning a few square miles with thousands of homes built out through the 1990s and early 2000s across a number of sections. Because it is built out, today Elkhorn Springs trades on the resale market, with new construction happening in neighboring master plans like Skye Canyon and Providence.
The neighborhood is family-oriented with mature, water-conscious desert landscaping, and many homes fall in the roughly $350,000 to $600,000 range, making it a popular first-time and move-up option in the northwest.
