Kestrel Overview
Kestrel is one of Summerlin West's newest villages, with construction beginning in 2022 and the first neighborhoods selling in September of that year. It sits at about 3,000 feet of elevation on the northern edge of the master plan, which gives it cooler air and valley views that older, lower villages cannot match.
The village was planned for up to seven single-family neighborhoods, and six have been announced or built, all from national builders. Everything here is new or nearly new, with modern architecture, current floor plans and the new parks of the Kestrel area threading through the community.

Builders & Development
Kestrel is a Howard Hughes Corporation village developed with multiple national builders. Several neighborhoods are sold out while others still sell new homes, so the market is a live mix of new construction and early resale.
Blacktail by Pulte
The village's first neighborhood, opened September 2022: gated, 122 homesites, three-story modern floor plans, now sold out.
Crested Canyon by Taylor Morrison
Six two- and three-story plans from about 1,650 to 2,240 square feet.
Falcon Crest and Dove Rock by Woodside
Single-story plans around 1,950 to 2,220 square feet in Falcon Crest, with newer single-family product in Dove Rock.
Mockingbird by Lennar
Gated two-story homes from about 3,000 square feet, opened May 2025, including multi-generational Next Gen suites.
Osprey Ridge by Richmond American
Two-story homes from about 2,240 to 2,520 square feet.
Homes & Characteristics
Kestrel's architecture is distinctly modern: flat and low-slope roofs, clean lines, large windows and a strong connection to the views. Floor plans run from single-story designs through two- and three-story family homes, with gated neighborhoods like Blacktail and Mockingbird carrying the premium end.
What It Sells For Right Now
As of mid-2026, Kestrel still sells new homes in several neighborhoods while the earliest streets trade as resale. Published pricing has run from roughly the $500,000s for smaller plans up into the $800,000s for the largest gated homes. Builder release pricing changes constantly, so current numbers matter more than published ranges.
