History
How Southern Highlands came to be
Southern Highlands broke ground in 1996 as a master-planned community built around a private golf club, positioning itself from the start as one of the valley's premier guard-gated addresses.
Overview
What it's like here
Located near the southern end of the valley close to the I-15/I-215 interchange, Southern Highlands centers on the Southern Highlands Golf Club, with most residential sections either guard-gated or gated by individual enclave.
Lifestyle
Everyday life
This is the valley's country-club lifestyle: golf, a private clubhouse, resort-style pools, and a level of privacy that draws executives, professional athletes, and entertainers who want proximity to the Strip without being in the middle of it.
Housing
What's available
Predominantly custom and semi-custom estates on larger lots than typical valley subdivisions, with a smaller inventory of luxury townhomes near the community's commercial core.
Schools
Where kids go to school
Zoned primarily to Clark County School District schools serving the southwest valley, with private-school options concentrated a short drive north toward Summerlin and the southwest suburbs.
New Construction
What's being built now
Southern Highlands is largely built out; remaining new construction is concentrated in a handful of custom-home lots and infill within existing gated enclaves rather than new tracts.

FAQs
Common questions
Is Southern Highlands entirely gated?+
Most, but not all, sections are guard-gated or gated at the enclave level; a few peripheral streets are open access. Gate status varies enough by street that it's worth confirming for a specific address.
Do I have to join the golf club to live there?+
No — golf club membership is separate from home ownership, though many residents do join given the community's design around the course.
How does pricing compare to Summerlin?+
Southern Highlands generally commands a premium per square foot over most of Summerlin, reflecting its larger lots, gated privacy, and country-club positioning, though top Summerlin golf-course estates can overlap in price.
