Southwest Las Vegas · Golf Club Community · Guard-Gated Enclaves
Southern Highlands
The south valley's premier address. Southern Highlands is a 2,200-acre master plan in the foothills south of the Strip, with a private Robert Trent Jones golf club, more than ten guard-gated enclaves and family villages connected by parks and trails. It's one of the few Las Vegas communities where you can move from a first luxury home to a gated golf estate without changing neighborhoods. Summit knows every village and helps buyers, sellers and investors find the right fit.
Why Southern Highlands
Every Level of Luxury, One Address
Southern Highlands was planned as a complete community, with a private country club at its heart, guard-gated enclaves for privacy and open family villages around parks and a town center. You can find a home here at almost any price point and still be minutes from the Strip and the airport.
Guard-Gated Enclaves
More than ten gated neighborhoods with 24/7 staffed gates, walls and patrols, including The Estates, Olympia Ridge, Tuscan Cliffs and Royal Highlands.
Southern Highlands Golf Club
A private 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr., with clubhouse dining, pools, tennis, a spa and fitness. Membership is separate from HOA dues.
Parks & Trails
Community parks with pools, playgrounds and courts, linked by landscaped trails that connect the villages to the town center.
Everyday Convenience
Grocery, dining, medical and retail along Southern Highlands Parkway, with fast I-15 access to the Strip, the airport and Henderson.
Room to Move Up
Many owners buy in a family village and move into a gated enclave or the golf estates later, keeping the same schools, friends and routines.
Investor Interest
Strong rental demand near the Strip and the south valley's job centers makes the non-gated villages popular with investors. Rental rules vary by HOA, so always check first.
Homes & Price Points
Three Ways to Own Southern Highlands
Southern Highlands covers the widest range of any luxury master plan in the valley. Whether a home sits inside a gate, and how close it is to the golf club, does the most to set its price.
Gated Enclaves & Villages
Family Villages
Non-gated neighborhoods around parks and schools, with single-family homes and townhomes. A strong entry point for families and investors.
Guard-Gated Enclaves
Royal Highlands, The Foothills, Vintage Canyon and Tuscan Cliffs offer gated privacy, larger lots and elevated views.
Golf Club Estates
The Estates and Olympia Ridge hold the community's largest custom homes along the private golf club.
