As Las Vegas continues to grow, ensuring residents have access to safe, attainable housing remains a top priority. In Ward 6, Councilwoman Nancy Brune is helping lead efforts to expand housing options in the northwest valley—highlighted by the proposed Monument Hills master-planned community and its unique focus on supporting military families.
A Community Designed for the Future
Monument Hills is a planned 940-acre mixed-use development that will bring together residential neighborhoods, commercial spaces, parks, open space and public facilities in one coordinated vision. The project represents a major public-private partnership aimed at meeting the needs of a rapidly growing population while creating a complete community where people can live, work and connect close to home.
With the capacity to welcome thousands of future residents, the development is expected to ease pressure in a housing market where demand continues to outpace supply. Expanding the number and variety of homes available is a key step toward keeping Las Vegas accessible for families, workers and city employees alike.
Meeting a Critical Need: Military Housing
A defining feature of Monument Hills is its dedicated military housing component—an innovative approach positioned between Nellis Air Force Base and Creech Air Force Base.
Plans call for approximately 350 housing units specifically for military personnel, including service members connected to nearby bases and the Nevada National Guard. This targeted housing solution addresses a long-recognized regional need while supporting the men and women who serve the nation and call Southern Nevada home.
Councilwoman Brune has emphasized that this model is nationally significant, offering a new way to integrate military housing into a broader master-planned community. By placing service members close to work, services and neighborhood amenities, the project strengthens both military readiness and community connection.
Housing, Growth and Quality of Life
Beyond military housing, Monument Hills reflects a broader strategy to prepare Ward 6 for long-term growth. The community will include parks, recreation space and commercial services designed to reduce travel times and improve everyday convenience for residents.
This comprehensive planning approach ensures that housing expansion is paired with the amenities families need—helping create a neighborhood that is livable, connected and sustainable as the city grows.
Looking Ahead
For Councilwoman Brune, projects like Monument Hills represent more than new construction. They are part of a long-term vision to make sure Las Vegas remains a place where people—including military families—can afford to live, build community and thrive.
As Ward 6 continues to evolve, the focus on thoughtful housing development and innovative military support stands as a model for how cities can grow while staying grounded in service, opportunity and quality of life.
