About The Association

Our Vision

Sun City Summerlin is a 55 year age-restricted community organized in the City of Las Vegas, by Del Webb Corporation in 1990.  It is one of the nation’s premiere adult communities.  The master-planned development is home to over 12,500 residents from all parts of the United States.  The community is organized into a community association, Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc.  The Association's purpose is, with reasonable governance and rules, to provide for the care and maintenance of the facilities in a cost effective manner, and to create an atmosphere which encourages new and old residents to maintain the active lifestyle they have sought by moving to the community.

Community Highlights

Sun City Summerlin is located in an ideal location–mere minutes from the glamorous action of downtown Las Vegas and the fabled Strip–but it nestles against the Spring Mountain Range, at an altitude of 3,000 feet.  Among the approximate 7,800 homes (which include single family, garden villas and patio homes) are extensive green belt areas, three 18-hole golf courses and extensive recreation facilities.

In addition to the three (3) Billy Casper/Greg Nash golf courses and three (3) restaurants are four (4) SCSCAI owned and operated social and recreation facilities: Mountain Shadows, Desert Vista, Sun Shadows and the Pinnacle.  They incorporate outdoor and indoor pools, 13 tennis courts, craft rooms, card rooms, social halls, a 312-seat theater, exercise rooms with the latest hydraulic exercise equipment, bocci ball courts, a  baseball diamond and spas.  More than 80 resident-organized social and recreational clubs cover a wide variety of interests. 

The immediate area surrounding Sun City Summerlin has seen phenomenal growth, with convenient shopping, banks, two public libraries, major grocery chains, two new hospitals, neighborhood resorts, many restaurants and other golf courses.  Public bus transportation goes through Sun City Summerlin and a reduced senior fare makes it convenient to reach any Las Vegas destination

Community Governance

Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc. (SCSCAI) is a non-profit corporation established to operate all of the community’s facilities and is responsible for common area maintenance.    Del Webb Corporation turned over control of the Association to SCSCAI in 1997. A nine-member Board of Directors is elected by the residents to administer the affairs of the Association.  SCSCAI employs close to 300 employees, including an on-site Executive Director, and ten (10) department managers who are responsible for day-to-day operations of the Association.  The Board of Directors conducts monthly meetings that are open to all residents.  Much of the work of the Board is done by standing committees i.e. Architectural Review Committee, Deed Restriction Enforcement Committee, Clubs and Community Organizations Committee, Properties Committee, Golf Oversight Committee and Legal Services Committee.

Sun City’s governing documents include a Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's), individual tract declarations, Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Architectural Development Standards, Rules and Regulations and Age Restriction Policy.

In accordance with the Governing Documents of the Corporation, and under HUD’s  Housing For Older Persons Act of 1995, revised in 1999, residential occupancy is restricted to at least one person 55 years of age or older and no one under the age of 19 may reside as a permanent resident.
