Los Prados
A 24-hour guard-gated golf community in the northwest valley, where an executive course, tennis, and pools anchor retiree and golfer life.
Neighborhood Guide
Established guard-gated golf living in the northwest valley: 24-hour entry, a community-owned executive course, and a mix of families and 55-plus residents.
Los Prados is the northwest valley's guard-gated golf community, developed in the 1980s by U.S. Homes and built out to more than 1,300 homes across roughly two dozen villages, including several 55-plus villages. It is centered on a community-owned executive golf course, with tennis, pools, a clubhouse restaurant, and mature landscaping that took decades to grow in. The resident mix runs about half families and half active adults, and the 24-hour gate plus the amenity value keep both happy.

What makes it home
Life inside Los Prados
Los Prados was planned in the 1980s as a self-contained golf community, and it shows: 24-hour guard-gated entry, a community-owned 18-hole executive course designed by Jeff Hardin and opened in 1987, and villages laid out around fairways, lakes, and greenbelt. The mature trees and established landscaping are a reminder that this community has been growing in for decades, which is rare among gated golf communities in the valley.
Housing is mostly low-maintenance single-family homes and attached townhomes, from roughly 1,100 square feet into the 3,000s, with two to five bedrooms and a good share of fairway and mountain-view lots. Four of the roughly two dozen villages are age-restricted to 55-plus, each with its own community center and social calendar, while the family sections have their own recreation center with a pool and clubhouse. It is resale-only, and the mix of family and active-adult villages gives it a lived-in, year-round feel.
The club is the social heart: the member-run golf club, the 19th Hole Restaurant, a resident library, banquet rooms, swimming pools, and tennis courts with pickleball and shuffleboard added in recent years. Centennial Hills' shopping and services sit minutes away, and the 95 freeway keeps downtown and the Strip manageable.

HOA & community rules
How Los Prados stays planned
Los Prados carries a community HOA, structured by home size and sub-association, commonly reported in the $189 to $220 per month range, which funds common-area maintenance, recreation facilities, and reserves. Residents collectively own the golf course, and membership is a separate decision sold through the club. The 55-plus villages add their own community center assessments.
