Hello everyone in the community! Today que i bring here a brief summary of what Downtown Summerlin, in Nevada, is all about. It is located in the community of Summerlin in the south of the state of Nevada, being a relatively new area (approximately 30 years old) and also one of the most prestigious in the country (in 3rd place according to REDFIN). The latter is due to its well-thought-out urban planning, the objective being to create an area with all the amenities for residents, workers and tourists. There we will find commercial stores (most are located in Downtown), baseball stadium, business buildings, entertainment areas, residential areas and more. What also makes it relevant is its accessibility from one point to another since its roads, avenues, streets and pedestrian paths make it possible. Come with me to meet her.

Summerlin is a long-term project, as it is still being built by The Howard Hughes Corporation, however, it offers the possibility of acquiring own homes and jobs for local residents. With a total of about 23,400 acres of land, they have become a fairly strong community within the state of Nevada. I visited the place with my sister during December, when I was looking for gifts to give on December 24th. This was in Downtown's Central Square. When you look at its buildings, streets, landscaping and details of the place, you will notice that the idea was to show a modern style that was impeccable and avant-garde. Unlike Downtown Las Vegas, here we will find more of a typical Center of a new community that seeks to match the most modern cities in the country, detaching itself a little from the eccentricity, lights and "picturesque" of the first.

¡Hola a todos en la comunidad! El día de hoy traigo por acá un breve resumen de lo que es el Downtown de Summerlin, en Nevada. Se encuentra ubicado en la comunidad de Summerlin al sur del estado de Nevada, siendo una zona relativamente nueva (con unos 30 años aproximadamente) y también una de las de mayor prestigio del país (en el 3er lugar según REDFIN). Esto último es debido a su planificación urbanística bien pensada, siendo el objetivo, crear una zona con todas las comodidades para residentes, trabajadores y turistas. Allí encontraremos tiendas comerciales (la mayoría se encuentra en el Downtown), estadio de béisbol, edificios de negocios, zonas de entretenimiento, zonas residenciales y demás. Lo que también la hace relevante es su accesibilidad de un punto a otro pues sus carreteras, avenidas, calles y caminos peatonales, lo hacen posible. Acompáñame a conocerla.

Summerlin es un proyectos a largo plazo, pues aún está siendo construida por The Howard Hughes Corporation, sin embargo, ofrece la posibilidad de adquirir viviendas propias y trabajo para los residentes del lugar. Con un total de unos 23.400 acres de tierra, se han constituido cómo una comunidad bastante fuerte dentro del estado de Nevada. Visité el lugar junto a mí hermana en época decembrina, cuando buscaba obsequios para dar el 24 de Diciembre. Esto fue en el Central Square del Downtown. Cuando observas sus edificios, calles, paisajismo y detalles del lugar, notarás que la idea era mostrar un estilo moderno y lujoso, que fuera impecable y vanguardista. A diferencia del Downtown de Las Vegas, aquí encontraremos más un Centro típico de una comunidad nueva que busca igualar a las ciudades más modernas del país, se desliga un poco de la excentricidad, las luces y "lo pintoresco" del primero.

The Center can be visited in a matter of four to five hours (although it can be a little more). It depends on what you are willing to see or are looking for. Now, as you can imagine, it is not as affordable a place as others in Nevada because although you can find a variety of stores and prices, you will most likely notice that high prices are the norm. As expected in a community like Summerlin. At that time, which was a month of celebration (December), several stores offered discounts, however there is not much difference. I point this out because i believe it is important to make it known that a new community that offers a high standard of living requires an investment. Especially if you are willing to live there.

With all this, i come to the conclusion that despite its high cost of living, many people are willing to move there because it is a quiet area and where they have all the amenities at hand (work, housing, entertainment). Which suggests a prediction that in the future, Summerlin will become a much better known community and the number one choice for Nevadans. In any case, if you are just passing through like me, Summerlin will seem like a beautiful little metropolis in southern Nevada. It's worth visiting. I forgot to say that there was also a skating rink at the Center and Lucia was quite adorable with the Christmas decorations. Without further ado, thank you very much for stopping by and reading my post. A hug.

El Centro se puede recorrer en cuestión de unas cuatro a cinco horas (aunque puede ser un poco más). Depende de lo que estés dispuesto a ver o estés buscando. Ahora, cómo podrán intuir, no es un sitio tan asequible cómo otros en Nevada pues aunque puedes encontrar variedad de tiendas y precios, lo más seguro es que notes que la norma son los altos precios. Cómo era de esperarse en una comunidad como Summerlin. Para ese tiempo,que era un mes de festejo (diciembre), varias tiendas ofrecían descuentos, sin embargo no hay mucho diferencia. Esto lo señalo pues creo que es importante hacer saber que una comunidad nueva que ofrece un estándar de vida elevado, exige una inversión de por medio. Sobre todo si estás dispuesto a vivir allí.

Con todo esto, llego a la conclusión de que a pesar de su alto costo de vida, muchas personas están dispuestas a mudarse allí porque es una zona tranquila y dónde se tienen todas las comodidades a la mano (trabajo, vivienda, entretenimiento). Lo que sugiere una predicción de que en el futuro, Summerlin se vuelva una comunidad mucho más conocida y la opción número uno para los ciudadanos de Nevada. En todo caso, sí solo estás de paso cómo yo, Summerlin te parecerá una pequeña y bella metrópolis en el sur de Nevada. Vale la pena visitar. Olvidaba decir que también había una pista de patinaje en el Centro y Lucia bastante adorable por la decoración navideña. Sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí y leer mí publicación. Un abrazo.

I saw this on pinmapple. Thanks for sparking a memory. I lived in Summerlin back in '08, off Sahara and Oakey. Had a favorite nice bar back then—Mister D's. Heard of it?

Greetings from here. I am glad that my publication has reached you, who lived there. Hey, not really, because I was mostly getting to know the surroundings and went in only to clothing stores (it was a visit for that purpose). But I googled and it seems to be a very fun place, with an air of that 50's style. On my next visit, I'll take a walk there. Thanks for commenting.
