Seven Hills, Nevada

Seven Hills, Nevada is a small subsection of Henderson, Nevada. Developed as a mostly gated community, Seven Hills is home to the founder of eBay Pierre Omidyar, Mike Tyson and others. Seven Hills is named after Seven hills of Rome.

Seven Hills is approximately 7 miles (11 km) from the Las Vegas Strip. It is home to Revere Golf Club and The Rio Golf Course. Seven Hills is located half of a mile east of the Henderson Executive Airport, which is mostly known for private jet business.

The 1,940-acre (7.9 km2) parcel west of Seven Hills was sold in 2004 at public auction for $557 million. Labeled as the 'Inspirada Project', the area was to be used for "New Urbanism". A high-density, pedestrian-friendly, master-planned community, it was modeled after towns and neighborhoods built before urban sprawl took root in the United States. The project began to take shape in 2005-2006, but slowed in 2006-2009. As of 2009, no shopping centers, schools, stores or planned fire/police stations have been built.[1]
