One Story Ranch Style Homes Las Vegas

A starting map for Las Vegas one story searches

This map is a location aid for the Las Vegas Valley. It is not a listing map, and it does not mark every one story or ranch-style house.

Where one story and ranch-style homes are common

The valley has one story houses in more than one kind of area. This section names places that official or public sources document. It does not claim that every home in those places is a ranch, and it does not invent a local count by decade.

Older mid century neighborhoods

Postwar ranch houses were built across the United States, with strong demand in the southwest. In the Las Vegas Valley, older central areas still have mid century housing. One documented example is Paradise Palms, a Mid Century Modern planned community between downtown and the University District. The first houses debuted in 1960. In 2021 it was named a historic overlay district, the first of its kind in Clark County. That neighborhood is mid century modern by name, not a ranch tract. Confirm the style and story count on any house you visit.

55+ communities, including Siena, Regency, and Sun City Summerlin

Buyers who want one-level living often also look at 55+ neighborhoods. Official Summerlin 55+ pages list neighborhoods that include Sun City Summerlin, Siena, Regency, Heritage at Stonebridge, and Trilogy. Those pages do not, by themselves, prove that every home there is one story. Confirm the floor plan.

The Siena HOA describes Siena as a 667-acre 55+ community in Summerlin South, with 2,001 single-family homes and villas and a public golf course that weaves through the community. For maps and more community facts, see the Siena map. For a valley-wide guide, see the Las Vegas 55+ communities guide.

The Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 amends the Fair Housing Act. One path to the 55-or-older exemption requires, among other things, that at least 80 percent of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person who is 55 years of age or older, plus published intent and a check of who lives there. The community rules control who may live there. This is general information, not legal advice.

Golf communities, including Los Prados

Los Prados is a golf community at 5150 Los Prados Circle, Las Vegas, 89130. The HOA golf site says the community has 1,358 homes around the course, clubhouse, pools, and tennis courts, and that the course plays to a par of 70. That official page does not state that every home is a ranch or a one story plan. Use it as a place to look, then confirm the house.

In Summerlin, official golf pages name courses that include TPC Summerlin, TPC Las Vegas, and Siena Golf Club. Some buyers also compare golf-adjacent houses in The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club. See the Las Vegas golf-course homes page, the Summerlin villages guide, and the Summerlin neighborhoods map for area context.

New one story plans and nearby Henderson

New one story plans also come on the market as builders open or close phases. What is for sale changes, so it is not listed here. See the pages on a new single story home in Las Vegas and single story new homes in Summerlin. If your search is focused on Henderson, use the sister page for one story ranch-style homes in Henderson.

Who looks for one story and ranch-style homes

A true one story plan keeps daily living on a single floor. That can help people who want to avoid stairs, including some buyers with mobility limits and some families who want children and living space on the same level. It can also help people who plan to stay in the house as they age.

Aging in place is the idea of remaining in a chosen home as long as possible. That article reports that 90 percent of adults over the age of 65 say they would prefer to stay in their current residence as they age. A one story layout can support that goal, but only if the entries, halls, and bath also work for the household. Visitability describes a related set of features for new houses: a zero-step entrance on an accessible route, interior doors wide enough for a wheelchair (about 32 inches), and a toilet room on the main floor. Many older ranch houses do not have all of those features. Check them on the house, not on the style name.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm it is a true single story. A raised ranch, per Wikipedia, still has a flight of steps to the main living floor.
• Have a licensed home inspector check the roof and drainage. A long, low-pitch roof is part of the ranch style, and it needs a close look in the desert sun.
• If the house was built before 1978, ask about lead-based paint. The U.S. EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint, which the federal government banned for home use in that year.
• Check heating and cooling, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems, especially in mid century houses.
• Walk the path from the driveway or garage to the door. Note any steps, narrow halls, or a bath that would be hard to use.
• If the home is in a HOA community, ask for the NRS 116.4109 resale package. It includes the CC&Rs, a statement of the monthly assessment, the HOA budget and reserve summary, and other required items. Read the current statute for the exact list and any cancellation window.

Federal housing law is not the same as the ADA. ADA.gov organizes ADA rules in areas that include public accommodations under Title III. For housing, a 2008 HUD and Department of Justice joint statement explains reasonable changes under the Fair Housing Act. It says a housing provider or HOA may not refuse a reasonable change needed for a person with a disability to have full use of the premises, and it gives examples such as widening doorways. The statement is technical help, not a promise that a given ranch house already meets any access code. If you need legal advice, speak with a Nevada attorney.

If you plan to add a ramp or change the structure, you may need a permit. The Clark County Building Department, at 4701 West Russell Road, publishes a “Which Jurisdiction Am I In?” guide, plus permit and inspection information for unincorporated Clark County. City parcels use the city's own permit office. Check the office that covers that lot before work begins.
