Buying tips from Total Vegas Real Estate.com
Las Vegas is certainly known for its world-class entertainment, exceptional fine dining, and having some of the most luxurious hotels on the planet. But in a place that is largely defined by glitz and glamour for tourists, high-profile performers, hotel executives, and of course some of the best professional athletes in their respective sports also need a full-time place to call home when living in Las Vegas; and in some cases, you might just find them in several of the most expensive neighborhoods in Las Vegas we’ve highlighted below.
The Ridges at Summerlin
Dubbed the crown jewel of Summerlin, The Ridges not only features expensive real estate but also a breathtaking desert landscape that allows for some of the best views you’ll find of any neighborhood in Las Vegas. And if being situated in the foothills of the Red Rocks Conservation Area isn’t enough, you’ll also enjoy having the Jack Nicklaus-designed Bear’s Best Golf Club nestled within the community, providing some breathtaking views of its own. As you might expect, many homes for sale in The Ridges at Summerlin are custom-built, and home prices can range from $3M all the way up to $20M+.
The Summit Club
Discovery Land Company has developed some of the most extraordinary residential communities in all of Las Vegas and The Summit Club is no exception. As a gated golf course community, this country club-like setting features a wealth of five-star amenities, a championship golf course, and a collection of residences and estate-style homes that include all the bells and whistles to say the least. Home styles at The Summit Club tend to be a bit more modern and contemporary, and it’s a great landing spot for anyone who appreciates floor plans that maximize indoor/outdoor living.
Spanish Trail Country Club
Encompassing 640 acres and divided into 11 separate neighborhoods, not every home in Spanish Trail contends with the most expensive properties in town. But there are more than enough single-family homes priced in the $2M+ range to make this one of Las Vegas’ premier luxury home communities. Spanish Trail’s 50,000 square foot clubhouse is also a community highlight and features two aquatic centers, 12 lighted tennis courts, event spaces, and even a restaurant that is open 7 days a week.
Estates at Southern Highlands
Most homes in Estates at Southern Highlands have an authentic Spanish/Mediterranean vibe, making this high-end community perfect for home buyers seeking a little extra charm and character. You might also find that most residences throughout the community also include mature trees and shrubbery, a noteworthy feature for prospective home buyers who favor greenery to classic desert landscaping. As with most expensive neighborhoods in Las Vegas, these homes include ample living space, private backyard pools, and direct access to one of the best golf courses in Las Vegas. Home prices at Estates at Southern Highlands vary, but look for the median list price to often fall just below $4M, and for some of the most expensive homes in the neighborhood to ask $8 to $15M.
Tournament Hills
Despite largely being developed back in the 1990s, Tournament Hills in Las Vegas remains one of the city’s elite neighborhoods. You’ll find just 132 homes in the community, and most include well over 4,000 square feet and plenty of private outdoor space. As part of the Summerlin master plan, home owners here love the easy access to TPC Summerlin, the site of golfing legend Tiger Woods’ first professional win back in 1996. But along with that, Tournament Hills also presents its residents with a 36,000 square foot clubhouse, lighted tennis courts, a junior Olympic-size community pool, and so much more.
