Community Overview

Southern Highlands: Guard-Gated · Golf · Master-Planned Living in Las Vegas

Southern Highlands is a guard-gated · golf · master-planned community in Las Vegas, Nevada (ZIP 89141/89139), with 6,500+ homes, where home prices range from $400K–$10M+. Southern Highlands is one of the established master-planned communities in southwest Las Vegas, combining guard-gated luxury living with a Jack Nicklaus Signature championship golf course in the scenic southwestern foothills. Spanning approximately 2,200 acres, the community was developed by the Olympia Group beginning in 1997 and has matured into one of the valley's most desirable addresses, attracting executives, professionals, entertainers, and athletes seeking privacy, views, and extensive amenities.

The architectural standards are high throughout, with Mediterranean, Tuscan, and desert contemporary styles predominating.
