Seven Hills is located half of a mile east of the Henderson Executive Airport.

A community on the property was initially proposed in the mid-1980s, known as Sky Harbor Ranch, with Japan-based Cosmo World Corporation as the developer.

Forest City Enterprises, in partnership with Canadian developer Terry Johnston, purchased the site in 1993.

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.

Part of the design was to keep Seven Hills and Inspirada as separate areas with no interconnecting roads.
