A brief history of Mountain’s Edge

Before Mountain’s Edge, there was mostly undeveloped land that sat on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The only thing remarkable about it was its proximity to the historic Old Spanish Trail, which transported many pioneers and prospectors westward during the Gold Rush.

In the early 2000s, however, Focus Property Group saw the land’s potential and turned over 3,500 acres into a well-planned community that blends convenience with outdoor living. By 2004, Mountain’s Edge was born. One of its first landmarks developed is Exploration Peak Park, an 80-acre public park that surrounds its namesake, the 2,850-foot Exploration Peak.

Today, Mountain’s Edge is an award-winning master-planned community and one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the Las Vegas Valley.
