Perched high upon the slopes of Mummy Mountain, this gated enclave offers a rare combination of dramatic elevation and secure, community-oriented living. It is a destination for those who seek not just a home, but a vantage point. A place where the twinkling city lights and rugged mountain silhouettes form a daily backdrop to a life of quiet luxury. Here, the air is rarer, the views are endless, and privacy is absolute.
Architectural Signatures
The homes within La Place du Sommet are true feats of engineering and design, built to harmonize with the challenging and beautiful hillside terrain.
- Mediterranean & Hillside Estates: The neighborhood is renowned for its grand Mediterranean villas that utilize stone, stucco, and tile to complement the desert palette.
- Contemporary Vision: You will also find striking contemporary estates that use cantilevered designs and floor-to-ceiling glass to capture the sweeping vistas, turning the landscape itself into a primary design element.
The Setting: Terraced Grandeur
The topography of La Place du Sommet is its defining feature, creating a layered effect that ensures almost every home enjoys a spectacular outlook.
- Lot Sizes: Properties generally range from one to two acres. Unlike flat valley lots, these parcels are often terraced and landscaped into the mountainside, creating multi-level outdoor living spaces that feel like private resorts.

What Commands a Premium
