Why I Love Summerlin

And You Will Too! I often refer to Summerlin as a biosphere – you have everything you need and never need to leave.  I’ve called Summerlin my home since 2002 and I’ve seen it grow into one of the best places in the U.S. to live.  I enjoy everything Summerlin has to offer – the amenities, restaurants, events and shopping.  In my free time, I can be found playing tennis, at a Summerlin park with my rescue dog Barclay, taking in an outdoor concert, rooting for the Aviators or dining with friends in Downtown Summerlin.
