Welcome to Southern Highlands
Named ‘Among the Best Master-Planned Communities in Las Vegas’ multiple times.
With a strong focus on home and community, Southern Highlands offers an array of elegant amenities for residents. As the most affluent community in Nevada, Southern Highlands lives up to its status with some of the most beautifully designed architectural designs.
The community’s envisioned character was inspired by the Spanish Revival from the early 20th century, particularly the Santa Barara / Tuscany style. However, the architecture of Southern Highlands is very open to interpretation, leaving room for a broader range of expression and creative designs (as long as builders keep within the guidelines of the community’s architectural framework).
Mixed in with these beautiful homes, lined by trees and beautifully landscaped, are exclusive retail centers, recreational buildings, parks, green space, medical centers, a country club, a resort, and more. With more than half the year kissed by the Las Vegas sun, there’s plenty to take advantage of and enjoy in Southern Highlands.
What to Love
- Undeniable elegance
- Peaceful and scenic, with an abundance of natural landscape
- Surrounds the community’s private and highly acclaimed golf course
