Southern Highlands is a master-planned community in the southern foothills of the Las Vegas Valley, in the unincorporated town of Enterprise (ZIP 89141). The Clark County Commission gave tentative approval to the original 1,850-acre plan in 1997, and the community was later renamed Southern Highlands. It is bordered generally by Cactus Avenue to the north and Interstate 15 and St. Rose Parkway to the east, which gives residents a direct route to the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport.
Golf and lifestyle. The private Southern Highlands Golf Club opened in 1999 and anchors several of the community's most exclusive neighborhoods. The master plan also includes multiple parks, Olympia Sports Park (opened 2018), two retail centers including Southern Highlands Marketplace, medical offices and a fire station, and the community has its own 24-hour security patrol.
Housing. Homes range from townhomes and production single-family neighborhoods to custom estates in guard-gated enclaves near the golf course, so buyers at very different price points can find a fit inside the same master plan. HOA structures vary by neighborhood, and some homes carry both a master association and a sub-association.
Schools. Public and private options include Southern Highlands Preparatory School and several Clark County School District elementary schools inside the community. Always confirm school zoning for a specific address with the district.
