An unincorporated town in the southern Summerlin area
Summerlin South is an unincorporated town in Clark County covering the southern portion of the Summerlin area and its surroundings, including villages such as The Ridges, The Cliffs and parts of the community west of the 215 Beltway. It is a county-administered town rather than a city neighborhood, and it covers some of the valley's most desirable residential land near Red Rock Canyon.

Much of the area developed as part of the Summerlin master plan, with the remainder on adjacent unincorporated parcels.
