The Ridges

Summerlin's pinnacle of gated, custom luxury against the Red Rock foothills.

Neighborhood Guide

Summerlin's flagship gated luxury neighborhood, with custom estates and Red Rock views.

The Ridges is Summerlin's flagship luxury address, a double guard-gated collection of custom and semi-custom estates developed by Howard Hughes from 2000 on roughly 800 acres at the western edge of Summerlin, where the land rises toward the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon. Views, privacy, and an unmatched setting define it, and its schools and trails give it a depth most luxury enclaves cannot match.

What makes it home

Life inside The Ridges

The community sits at roughly 3,200 to 4,000 feet of elevation along the toe of the mountains, high enough that the air, the light, and the views are visibly different from the valley floor. About 380 large custom and semi-custom homes occupy the ridge lines, organized into gated enclaves with names like Promontory, Azure, and Sable Ridge, each with its own character and its own entry.

The heart of daily life is Club Ridges, a resident-only clubhouse with a fitness center, resort-style pool, tennis courts, and gathering spaces, set among parks and miles of walking and hiking trails. The 18-hole Bear's Best Las Vegas golf course, a Jack Nicklaus-designed collection of his favorite holes, anchors the golf side of the community.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits roughly three miles to the west, and community trails connect toward the canyon's hiking and climbing. Residents describe mornings on the trails and evenings watching the escarpment change color, all within minutes of Downtown Summerlin's shopping and dining.

The residences are genuinely custom rather than tract product: floor plans, finishes, and lot positions vary widely, which is part of why values hold. With Sig Rogich Middle School and Palo Verde High School among the nearby public campuses and The Alexander Dawson School within the area, The Ridges checks the boxes luxury buyers in Las Vegas measure every other community against.

HOA & community rules

How The Ridges stays planned

The Ridges layers community and enclave associations over its gated villages, and the fees fund the 24/7 staffed gates, patrols, common landscaping, parks, trails, and club facilities that make the community feel like a private resort. The levels are real, so the dues picture depends on the exact enclave.

I always pull the current association fees for the specific property, plus any special assessments, before we run the monthly math together. The lifestyle is premium, and so is the monthly responsibility, so it belongs in the decision early.

Nevada's Common-Interest Communities Act (NRS 116) governs the association framework, and the CC&Rs matter for exterior changes and rentals. I walk buyers through the governing documents for the enclave before any offer, because the rules are part of the value here.

Questions people ask

Straight answers about The Ridges

Is The Ridges gated?

Yes, it is one of the most secure communities in the valley, with double staffed guard gates plus patrols and gated enclaves layered inside the main entries. Security is a core part of the appeal and the pricing.

How close is Red Rock Canyon?

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is roughly three miles from the community as the crow flies. Residents can see Calico Hills from the ridge lines, and community trails connect toward canyon hiking and climbing within minutes of home.

Are the homes custom?

Yes. The community was built around custom and semi-custom estate lots rather than tract production, so floor plans, architecture, and finishes vary by household. Buyers commission or inherit genuinely individual homes, which is a big part of why values hold.

How does The Ridges compare to other luxury communities?

Compared with Queensridge or MacDonald Highlands, The Ridges wins on Red Rock views, trail access, and the Summerlin school and retail ecosystem, while the others have their own estate scale and club scenes. I help buyers weigh the specific lifestyle, not just the address.

What does it actually cost?

Entry-level offerings have traded from the high six figures, and large view estates run into the eight figures, with recent medians well into the millions. The right question is not a single number but which enclave, lot, and build fit your goals, which is exactly what I map out first.
