The Ridges: Summerlin's Ultra-Luxury Guard-Gated Enclave

If Summerlin has a crown jewel, it's The Ridges an ultra-luxury, guard-gated community on the western edge of Summerlin South, home to some of the most architecturally significant custom estates in the entire Las Vegas Valley.

Where The Ridges Sits

The Ridges sits in Summerlin South (ZIP 89135), adjacent to Red Rock Canyon and built around dramatic natural topography many home sites sit on elevated ridgelines with sweeping views of the Strip, the valley, and the surrounding mountains.

What Homes Cost in The Ridges

The Ridges is genuinely trophy-tier pricing:

• Current median: approximately $3.4 million
• Typical starting point: homes generally start above $1 million, with most serious inventory well into the multi-million-dollar range
• Custom estates: the highest-end lots and builds push into the $10 million-plus range

Inventory here is famously limited The Ridges consistently trades on cachet and low supply as much as on square footage, which keeps days-on-market and pricing dynamics different from almost anywhere else in the valley.

HOA Fees

Annual HOA dues at The Ridges run toward the higher end of Summerlin's luxury tier as part of the broader Summerlin luxury enclave comparison, The Ridges' carrying costs sit above communities like Tournament Hills (roughly $2,400/year) and are broadly comparable to or above Reverence (roughly $3,600/year), reflecting the guard-gated security and premium common-area maintenance the community provides. Because dues vary by specific sub-section and can change, always confirm the current HOA total directly through the resale package.

What Makes The Ridges Special

• Architecture: The Ridges is known for genuinely custom, architect-designed homes rather than production building no two estates look alike.
• Bear's Best Las Vegas: a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course integrated into the community.
• Guard-gated privacy: 24/7 staffed entry consistent with Summerlin's other luxury enclaves.
• Red Rock Canyon proximity: dramatic natural backdrop and immediate access to some of the best hiking and biking in the valley.
• Summerlin access: all the benefits of Summerlin's schools, trails, and Downtown Summerlin retail, with The Ridges' own elevated exclusivity layered on top.

How The Ridges Compares

Buyers shopping The Ridges often cross-shop it against Red Rock Country Club and The Summit Club  the other headline Summerlin luxury enclaves. The Ridges tends to command the premium among the three, trading on its combination of hilltop views, architectural pedigree, and genuinely constrained inventory. Most buyers in the $1.5–$3 million range lean toward Red Rock Country Club, while $3 million-plus buyers split between The Ridges' custom infill opportunities and The Summit Club's invitation-only, ultra-private setting.

Who The Ridges Is Good For

The Ridges is the right fit for buyers seeking a genuine trophy address architectural significance, hilltop privacy, and Summerlin's top-tier location  and who are prepared to move quickly and decisively when the right property comes to market, given how limited inventory typically is.
