The Ridges Summerlin Life Inside the Gates of the Valley's Most Prestigious Village header image.

793 acres in zip code 89135. 38 closings at a $3,337,500 median and $784 per square foot. Entry at $1.55 million. Windsong closing near $1,217 per square foot. Bear's Best Jack Nicklaus course. Red Rock Canyon on the doorstep.

The Ridges is where the Las Vegas luxury conversation ends for buyers who have toured everything else and realized that nothing in the valley delivers the same combination of hillside position, Red Rock Canyon adjacency, architectural diversity, and guard-gated privacy at this scale. Recorded in the Las Vegas MLS as Summerlin Village 18 across 793 acres in zip code 89135, the community encompasses 15 distinct guard-gated enclaves ranging from attached townhomes to fully custom ridgeline estates and understanding that internal range is the most important thing any buyer can do before approaching the market here.

The Numbers, the Enclaves, and the Price Spread
38 homes closed in The Ridges in the 12 months ending September 21, 2026, at a $3,337,500 median and $784 per square foot, against 38 active listings and approximately 12 months of supply per Nevada Real Estate Group's most recent analysis. The price range across that same 12-month window ran from $927,000 to $16,000,000, which illustrates the single most important fact about buying in The Ridges: the community median is a composite of dramatically different submarkets and buying on the headline average produces an entirely incorrect picture of what any specific enclave delivers. The most accessible entry point in 2026 is Verona, The Ridges' attached luxury townhome enclave, where original builder finish units start near $1.55 million at approximately $512 per square foot and recently renovated units reach $1.9 million. Verona provides The Ridges address, guard-gate access, and Bear's Best golf proximity at a price point that no detached single-family enclave in the community touches. Moving up the price ladder, Arrowhead delivers production luxury single-family homes of 3,200 to 4,400 square feet with a $1.92 million median at approximately $534 per square foot. Sable Ridge runs $2.1 million median at $548 per square foot across 3,500 to 4,800 square foot production builds. Topaz Ridge reaches $2.4 million at $578 per square foot in the 3,800 to 5,200 square foot range. Boulders, the largest production luxury enclave in the community, delivers 4,200 to 6,500 square foot homes at a $3.1 million median and $612 per square foot. At the summit of the pricing structure sit the fully custom enclaves whose per-square-foot figures reflect both the construction quality and the lot premiums that ridgeline positions command. Windsong closed near $1,217 per square foot in 2026, representing the highest concentration of architecturally significant custom homes in the Las Vegas market outside The Summit Club, which sits adjacent to The Ridges and operates as an entirely separate ultra-private community at initiation fees of $200,000 to $400,000. The anchoring amenity of The Ridges community is Bear's Best Las Vegas, Jack Nicklaus's tribute course featuring replicas of his 18 favorite holes from courses across the United States, located within the community's footprint and accessible to Ridges homeowners at preferred membership terms. The community's western perimeter borders Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area directly, providing hiking and trail access that no other Las Vegas luxury community matches geographically. Annual HOA fees in The Ridges run approximately $5,200 per year at the community level, with individual enclave sub-HOA fees adding $1,800 to $3,600 per year depending on the specific village.

What Life Inside the Gates Actually Looks Like
The Ridges attracts a buyer profile that is meaningfully different from the broader Las Vegas luxury market and worth understanding before you tour. The community's position bordering Red Rock Canyon produces a consistent population of outdoor-lifestyle buyers who prioritize weekend trail access, cooler evening temperatures from the elevated terrain, and a western-facing view corridor that delivers Red Rock's sandstone escarpment as the primary sight line rather than the Strip. Strip views exist within The Ridges and command significant premiums in the enclaves where they are available, but the community's identity is defined by the desert landscape to the west rather than the skyline to the east which differentiates it from MacDonald Highlands and Seven Hills in Henderson where Strip views are a more central value driver. The school zone serving The Ridges is among the strongest in the state: Lummis Elementary, Sig Rogich Middle School, and Palo Verde High School form a pipeline that CCSD performance data consistently places in the top tier of the Las Vegas valley. Custom land within the community is essentially exhausted, meaning 2026 demand is concentrated in resale and the emerging tear-down-and-rebuild market for buyers who want to place a contemporary custom home on an existing Ridges lot without competing for the diminishing number of original vacant parcels. Buyers approaching The Ridges should evaluate enclave by enclave rather than community by community, since the $455 per square foot at Fairway Hills and the $1,217 per square foot at Windsong represent genuinely different products living in the same guard-gated address and conflating them produces offers that miss the specific market reality of whichever enclave the buyer is actually targeting.
