Siena

Siena is a 667-acre guard-gated 55+ village within Summerlin, the massive master-planned community on the west side of the Las Vegas valley. It holds a distinction no other active adult neighborhood in Summerlin can claim — full guard-gated security with staffed entry points around the clock, 365 days a year, with armed security personnel and roving mobile patrol officers. Built by Sunrise Colony Company between 1999 and 2006, Siena encompasses roughly 2,001 single-story homes wrapped around a Schmidt-Curley designed 18-hole championship golf course, with Lake Siena and cascading waterfalls at its visual heart. The architecture is Tuscan/Italian in character — the community is named after the Italian city of Siena — giving streetscapes a warm Mediterranean feel against the Spring Mountain backdrop. The community offers 18 distinct floor plans ranging from compact villas (roughly 1,040 to 1,400 sq ft, 1–2 bedrooms, 2-car garage) up to single-family homes over 3,000 sq ft with 2–4 bedrooms. About a third of the homes sit directly on the golf course, and many offer lake, fairway, or mountain views. All homes are single-story and designed with mature adults in mind — open floor plans, covered patios, attached garages, and low thresholds. Siena is laid out in two sections divided by Tropicana Avenue, each with its own guarded entry (the north side is closer to the amenity core). The heart of the community is the Village Center, a roughly 38,000–40,000 sq ft Tuscan-styled complex overlooking Lake Siena. It houses the 7,200 sq ft Sunrise Ballroom, a main rotunda where residents gather for coffee, a lake-view library with fireplace, arts & ceramics rooms, sewing and music rooms, a billiards room, card and game rooms, a computer classroom, and meeting spaces. Attached is the 16,000 sq ft Health and Fitness Center with cardio and weight machines, free weights, an aerobics/fitness classroom, a full-service salon and day spa, and men's and women's locker rooms with saunas and steam rooms. A four-lane, 25-yard indoor heated lap pool sits inside the fitness center; a heated outdoor resort-style pool with whirlpool, lounge chairs, and golf-course views is just outside, along with four lighted tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a lighted bocce court, and four horseshoe pits. The Siena Golf Club, designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley (the same team behind nearby Arroyo at Red Rock Country Club), is technically a public course but residents receive discounted green fees and preferred access. The course features gently rolling hills, clever bunkering, waterfalls, gardens, and sweeping views of the Strip skyline and Spring Mountains. The 15,000 sq ft golf clubhouse includes a pro shop and the Siena Bistro, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour. Social life is genuinely active. Siena's in-house Lifestyle Department plans monthly happy hours, BBQs, trivia nights, and trips to the Smith Center, while a resident-run Social Committee puts on Signature Events like Sienafest and the annual New Year's Eve Gala. Residents run a wide roster of clubs and interest groups — poker, bridge, scrabble, bocce, wine club, ceramics, computer club, book club, yoga, veterans' groups, the Over the Hill Hikers, movie nights, and cocktail receptions among them — plus weekly fitness classes like Tai Chi, iron abs, and cardio dance. Location is a significant part of Siena's appeal. The community sits just off the I-215 Beltway at Town Center Drive, roughly 15–20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and Harry Reid International Airport. Red Rock Canyon is about 10 minutes west. Downtown Summerlin — 400 acres and 125+ shops and restaurants — City National Arena (Vegas Golden Knights practice facility), and the Las Vegas Ballpark (home of the Aviators) are all nearby, as is the Red Rock Casino Resort. As a Summerlin village, residents also have access to 250+ parks, 150+ miles of trails, and the broader Summerlin amenity network. Construction was finished nearly two decades ago, so all homes today trade as resales — but the established landscaping, mature palms, and settled community character are part of what draws buyers here over newer age-restricted neighborhoods.
