Summerlin West · Guard-Gated · Red Rock Frontage
The Ridges
Las Vegas's most private address. Set on 793 guard-gated acres against Red Rock Canyon, The Ridges has architect-designed estates, a residents-only club and views of the valley lights that can't be built out. Summit guides buyers and sellers here with discretion, data and access to homes that never reach the open market.
Why The Ridges
Privacy, Views & Permanence
Many luxury communities sell a view. The Ridges sells one that's protected. Federal conservation land lies to the west, the homesites are effectively spoken for, and every exterior goes through architectural review. What you buy here stays what you bought.
Layered Security
Double-gated entry with verified visitor access. Showings are by appointment only, with no drive-through browsing and no open houses.
Red Rock on the Horizon
West-facing lots look onto Red Rock Canyon conservation land, which can't be developed. East-facing lots look over the Strip and the valley lights from about 3,100 feet up.
Club Ridges
A residents-only clubhouse with a resort-style pool, tennis courts, fitness and pilates studios and locker rooms, all inside the gates.
Desert Contemporary
Custom homes in glass, stone and steel, held to a strict architectural review that protects the look of the whole community.
Finite Supply
The developer released its final custom homesites in 2021. New inventory now comes almost entirely from resales and completed custom builds.
Amara Golf Club
The former Bear's Best course next door is being rebuilt as Amara, a private golf club. Membership is separate from homeownership.
Homes & Price Points
Three Ways to Own The Ridges
The Ridges is a collection of distinct gated neighborhoods inside one perimeter. Each has its own lot sizes, orientation and architecture. Your choice of neighborhood shapes your price, view and privacy more than anything else.
Neighborhoods Within the Gates
Villa & Attached
Lock-and-leave residences with the same gate, club access and address as the estates. A natural fit for second-home and part-time owners.
Custom Estates
Single-level and two-story custom homes, typically 4,000 to 7,000 sq ft, with resort-style pools and Red Rock or Strip views.
Signature View Estates
Large hillside and ridge-line homes with gallery-scale living spaces, motor courts and unobstructed panoramas. These are the most private homes in Las Vegas.

Cost of Ownership
What to Budget
- HOA dues: combined sub-association and Summerlin master dues typically run about $400 to $1,400 a month, depending on neighborhood and lot.
- Property tax: Nevada's tax caps keep annual bills well below what comparable homes pay in California. Ask us for the tax history on any specific address.
- No state income tax: a major draw for buyers relocating from California, Washington, Illinois and New York.
- Club & golf: Club Ridges is for residents. Amara Golf Club membership is separate and optional.
- Architectural review: plan for review time on any exterior renovation or new build.
