Southern Highlands FAQ
Where is Southern Highlands located?
Southern Highlands is a master-planned community of roughly 2,300 acres at the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley, generally bounded by Interstate 15 to the east, Cactus Avenue to the north, and Jones Boulevard to the west. It carries a Las Vegas, NV 89141 mailing address and sits in unincorporated Clark County (the Enterprise area), not in the City of Henderson. The Gafford Group helps buyers compare it with nearby Henderson communities.
Is Southern Highlands part of Henderson?
No. Southern Highlands is in unincorporated Clark County with a Las Vegas mailing address, while communities such as MacDonald Highlands, Ascaya, Anthem Country Club, Seven Hills, and Roma Hills are in Henderson. Because Southern Highlands is in the south valley near Henderson, buyers often shop both. John Gafford and The Gafford Group help clients keep those comparisons apples-to-apples when searching luxury homes in Henderson and the surrounding valley.
<Is Southern Highlands guard-gated?
Southern Highlands includes a mix of guard-gated enclaves and non-gated neighborhoods within one master plan. The Southern Highlands Golf Club estate area is a 24-hour guard-gated community with private roads, while other villages are gated or open depending on the neighborhood. John Gafford of The Gafford Group can explain which enclaves are guard-gated and how access works for showings and guests.
What is the Southern Highlands Golf Club?
Southern Highlands Golf Club is a private club with an 18-hole championship course that opened in 2000. It was co-designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. and anchors the estate side of the community. Membership is private and handled by the club, so buyers should verify current terms directly. The Gafford Group helps buyers weigh golf-course proximity against their lifestyle goals.
Does buying a home in Southern Highlands include a golf membership?
Not automatically. The golf club and the homeowners associations are separate entities, so owning a home in Southern Highlands does not by itself include golf club membership. HOA and sub-association dues also vary by neighborhood depending on gates and amenities. John Gafford and The Gafford Group recommend reviewing HOA documents and club terms before writing an offer.
What types of homes are in Southern Highlands?
Southern Highlands offers a range of product, from custom estates and golf-course homes to production-built single-family neighborhoods, with architecture that includes Mediterranean and Tuscan-inspired designs alongside contemporary styles. Because homes vary widely by enclave, touring several sections is the best way to compare. The Gafford Group can build a shortlist based on lot, view, and gate preferences.
