Neighborhood

It is situated in the southwest foothills of Greater Las Vegas and is one of the highest points of the Las Vegas area. All of the homes are guard-gated, and many are strategically placed behind lush landscaping to avoid being seen from street level. The Golf Club consists of a single 24-hour guard-gated community with private roads that are accessible only through the three entry gates.

As one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the United States, Southern Highlands Golf Club is home to multiple gaming executives, real estate developers, professional athletes, musicians, actors and actresses, corporate executives, philanthropists, and politicians. The neighborhood has one of the highest average home prices in the country, at $4,993,950. A smaller neighborhood within the Golf Club, The Estates at Southern Highlands, is known for its large mansions and private drives that frequently exceed eight figures. [2]
