Southern Highlands is a master‑planned sanctuary on approximately 2,300 acres of rolling foothills at the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley. West of I‑15 and roughly 15 minutes from the Strip, the community encompasses more than 8,000 homes in about 40 neighborhoods, with numerous guard‑gated enclaves to ensure privacy and security. Elevated terrain provides cooler temperatures, panoramic views of city lights and the Spring Mountains and an atmosphere that feels miles away from the bustle while remaining close to major airports and freeways. Southern Highlands blends Tuscan‑inspired architecture with lush landscaping and tree‑lined streets, creating a small‑town vibe in an otherwise desert setting.
Outdoor recreation is central to life in Southern Highlands. The community boasts seven family parks and two dog parks, all maintained by the homeowners’ association. Goett Family Park features the Jaynes Family Splash Park, basketball courts, covered playgrounds and expansive lawns for sports and picnics. Somerset Hills Park spans over six acres with tennis courts, a seasonal spray park, barbecue areas, multiple play structures, walking paths and shaded pavilions. Additional parks include Rose Garden (Dr. Harry B. Johnson Rose Park)—a serene garden with a splash pad and gazebo, Stonewater Park with an amphitheater and mountain views, Jimmy Pettyjohn Jr. Park, Inzalaco Park and Olympia Sports Park, the last of which offers lighted sports fields, workout stations, basketball courts and trails with Strip views. A scenic Paseo trail weaves through the community, connecting neighborhoods and parks for jogging, cycling and dog‑walking.
Southern Highlands is anchored by the private Southern Highlands Golf Club, an 18‑hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr. The club’s 42,000‑square‑foot clubhouse features fine dining, a full‑service spa, fitness center, tennis courts and resort‑style pools. Nearby is Spa Southern Highlands, a 13,000 sq‑ft Tuscan‑inspired facility with a fitness center, 25‑meter lap pool, children’s pool, oversized Jacuzzi and lighted tennis courts. Two neighborhood retail centers—Southern Highlands Marketplace and Fire Station Plaza—provide grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, fitness studios, professional services and salons. The community hosts year‑round events such as Movies in the Park, fall festivals and farmers’ markets. Families appreciate access to highly rated public and private schools and a variety of nearby recreational attractions like M Resort, Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area and the Raiders’ practice facility.
Southern Highlands offers a range of housing—from modern townhomes and single‑story residences to custom estates on lots from half an acre to several acres—designed by top builders in both north‑ and south‑side neighborhoods. With its mix of guard‑gated privacy, resort‑style amenities, world‑class golf, lush parks and trails, and convenient access to both city and outdoor recreation, Southern Highlands delivers a refined yet vibrant lifestyle that appeals to families, professionals and luxury buyers alike.
