Which Las Vegas Valley ZIP Codes Are Growing the Fastest Right Now?
MovingPlace, an online professional movers marketplace, analyzed roughly 5 million moves for its mid-year report and ranked ZIP codes nationwide by new residents added per capita. Three Nevada ZIP codes made the state's top five — and two of them sit inside the Las Vegas Valley's own backyard, in areas buyers already ask us about constantly.
Where is the fastest-growing ZIP code in Nevada?
The top spot went to 89034 in Mesquite, about an hour northeast of Las Vegas near the Arizona border, which added approximately 73.3 residents per 1,000 from January through May of this year. Per the report, Mesquite's appeal comes down to a warm climate, recreational amenities, and a lower-density alternative to the Las Vegas Valley proper — particularly attractive to retirees and buyers who want more space at a lower price point.
Which Las Vegas Valley neighborhoods made the list?
Two Las Vegas Valley ZIP codes followed close behind Mesquite statewide:
- 89011 (Henderson / Lake Las Vegas area) — 50 moves per 1,000 residents. This ZIP covers northeastern Henderson, including the Midway and Calico Ridge communities and the broader Lake Las Vegas resort-style area. The report points to golf, water activities, restaurants, and easy access to the Strip and major employers as the draw.
- 89138 (Summerlin) — 40.5 moves per 1,000 residents. On the valley's western edge, Summerlin's master-planned neighborhoods, parks, trails, and proximity to Red Rock Canyon continue to pull new residents who want newer homes and a strong sense of community without leaving easy reach of the Strip and valley job centers.
Rounding out Nevada's top five were 89113 in southwest Las Vegas and 89501 in Reno. None of Nevada's ZIP codes cracked the national top 50 — that list skewed heavily toward Florida and Texas — but placing three Nevada ZIP codes in the state's own top five, with two of them inside the valley, is a meaningful local signal.
Why are people moving to Henderson's Lake Las Vegas area?
The 89011 ZIP code's draw is fairly straightforward: resort-style living without a resort-style commute. Communities like Lake Las Vegas offer golf courses, water activities, and dining, while still sitting within a reasonable drive of the Strip and Henderson's own employment base. In my experience working with buyers relocating to this corridor, retirees and second-home buyers are drawn first by the lake and golf access, but a growing share are younger dual-income households who've realized they can get more house here than in the core valley for a comparable price.
Why does Summerlin keep attracting new residents?
Summerlin's growth story is less about any single amenity and more about consistency — new phases of master-planned neighborhoods keep opening with parks, trails, and schools already built in, rather than promised for later. I've worked with several relocating families this year who specifically wanted to be near Red Rock Canyon for the hiking and outdoor access without giving up quick freeway access into the valley for work; that combination is hard to find anywhere else in the valley at Summerlin's scale of inventory.
Does this mean prices are rising fastest in these areas too?
Not necessarily in lockstep — mover volume and price appreciation don't always move together, especially in a market where valley-wide inventory has been improving. What steady in-migration to a specific ZIP code does tend to support is demand resilience: areas that keep attracting new residents tend to see fewer of the deep price cuts that show up in slower-growth submarkets when the broader market softens. Henderson and Summerlin both benefit from established infrastructure and amenities, which gives buyers more confidence that today's purchase will still have strong resale demand in a few years.

If you're relocating to the Las Vegas Valley and Henderson or Summerlin are on your shortlist, growing in-migration is a reasonable signal that demand for well-located homes in those ZIP codes should stay healthy. It's not a reason to rush a decision, but it is a reason to get pre-qualified and start touring before your ideal floor plan or lot gets scarcer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest-growing ZIP code in Nevada?
Mesquite's 89034 ZIP code, which added roughly 73.3 residents per 1,000 from January to May, according to a MovingPlace report on mover data.
Which Las Vegas Valley neighborhoods are growing fastest?
Henderson's 89011 ZIP (Lake Las Vegas area) ranked second in Nevada at 50 moves per 1,000 residents, and Summerlin's 89138 ranked third at 40.5 moves per 1,000 residents.
Why are people moving to the Lake Las Vegas area of Henderson?
Resort-style amenities — golf, water activities, and dining — combined with reasonable access to the Strip and Henderson's job base make this ZIP attractive to retirees, second-home buyers, and increasingly younger dual-income households.
Why is Summerlin still attracting so many new residents?
Consistent delivery of new master-planned neighborhoods with parks, trails, and schools built in from the start, plus proximity to Red Rock Canyon and quick freeway access to the valley's job centers.
Does a high moving rate mean home prices are rising fastest there too?
Not necessarily in lockstep, but strong, steady in-migration tends to support demand resilience, which can mean fewer deep price cuts in a softening market compared with slower-growth areas.
Did any Nevada ZIP code crack the national top 50?
No. The national top 50 fastest-growing ZIP codes skewed heavily toward Florida and Texas; Nevada's top three (Mesquite, Henderson's 89011, and Summerlin's 89138) were the state's own leaders but didn't reach the national list.
