Summerlin Centre is not especially well-suited for pedestrians as most daily needs are occasionally difficult to meet without a vehicle. This part of Summerlin South is also not especially amenable to biking as the bicycling infrastructure is sometimes poor, and there are a good number of hills for cyclists to brave.

Character

One of the appealing aspects of Summerlin Centre is that it contains both vibrant and quiet areas. Although the ambience is not the liveliest in this neighborhood finding one of the about 10 bars is easy as they are generally situated in quite convenient locations. At the same time, this neighborhood is wonderful for those who like quiet surroundings, as there are low levels of noise from traffic. Parks aren't well-spread out, which makes it occasionally hard to access them from a lot of locations within this area. Despite that, there are about 30 green spaces close by for residents to relax in, such as Summerlin Centre Community Park and Cottonwood Canyon.
