Zip 89012 Homes for Sale
Stand in your driveway in 89012 and look east. The McCullough Mountains rise straight up from the valley floor, and somewhere on that hillside above you sits one of the most extraordinary collections of custom estates anywhere in the western United States. Look the other way and you are looking at 45 years of mature trees, walking trails, and the original master-planned community in Southern Nevada. This is the ZIP code where Hank Greenspun's Green Valley meets Rich MacDonald's hillside dream, where a $400,000 condo and a $20M custom estate share the same postal address and somehow it works.
Living in 89012
The lifestyle pattern in 89012 is shaped by elevation. The flat western half of the ZIP runs through established Green Valley South neighborhoods that have had 35-plus years to grow into themselves. Mature trees, completed landscaping, the kind of walkability where you can leave the house at sunset and meet neighbors on the trail before you make it to the corner. The 84,120-square-foot Henderson Multi-Generational Center at 250 South Green Valley Parkway sits in this part of the ZIP, on the east side of the parkway, with indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, a gymnasium, a suspended jogging track, and the kind of programming that anchors a community from preschool swim lessons to senior tai chi. The Whole Foods just south of the Multi-Gen is also 89012. Cross to the west side of the parkway and you are in 89052, where The District at Green Valley Ranch sits with restaurants, retail, and weekend events.
Drive east up Horizon Ridge or Eastern, and the elevation starts to climb. Sunridge at MacDonald Ranch first, then Roma Hills off to the north, then the guard gate at MacDonald Highlands. Inside MacDonald Highlands you find DragonRidge Country Club at 2,700 feet of elevation, with the kind of clubhouse and golf course that locals book for weddings and out-of-town guests come back to year after year. Five distinct enclaves inside the gates (Lairmont, Dragon Gate, Glenbrook, The Palisades, Stone Mountain Ridge), each with its own personality. Rich MacDonald, the developer, lives in the community himself.
Adjacent to MacDonald Highlands sits Ascaya, accessible through its own separate guard gate. Where MacDonald Highlands offers a range of architectural styles, Ascaya is a study in modern desert architecture enforced through CC&Rs. Most homes here are glass, stone, steel, and angular silhouettes carved into the hillside. The community took 15 million cubic yards of mountain blasting to make buildable. A handful of notable owners (including Mark Davis of the Las Vegas Raiders) have given the community a reputation that draws international buyers.
For everyday infrastructure, you are minutes from St. Rose Dominican Hospital's Siena Campus. The 215 Beltway is the main arterial. Harry Reid International Airport is about 18 minutes from the central Green Valley South neighborhoods, plus another 7 to 10 minutes from MacDonald Highlands or Ascaya because of the elevation drop and the route down through Stephanie or Eastern.
The communities inside 89012
In alphabetical order, because the variation between them is so wide that ZIP-level shopping doesn't work here. A buyer needs to pick a community first.
Ascaya. Guard-gated luxury custom-home community on the McCullough Range, adjacent to MacDonald Highlands. Developed by Hong Kong investor Henry Cheng. Construction began in 2004, halted during the 2008 recession, and resumed in 2014. About 313 total homesites planned, with the final 58 lots (the Cloud Rock Collection) released in 2025. Strict modern desert architectural standards enforced through CC&Rs, which is why every home in Ascaya has a similar contemporary look. Most finished homes sit in the $3M to $8M range, with several going past $10M.
Green Valley South. The established residential core of the ZIP, built primarily between the late 1980s and the late 1990s. Townhomes, single-family homes, condos, with mature landscaping that took decades to grow in. This is where you find the 89012 entry points, with active listings starting around the low to mid $300,000s and running into the high $700,000s for the larger lot homes.
MacDonald Highlands. The 1,320-acre guard-gated luxury community on the foothills of Black Mountain at the edge of the McCullough Range. Developed by Rich MacDonald (the MacDonald family acquired the original 3,200-acre MacDonald Ranch in the late 1970s and divided it into four villages, with Village III becoming MacDonald Highlands). DragonRidge Country Club at 2,700 feet of elevation is the community anchor and opened in 2000. Five enclaves inside the gates: Lairmont, Dragon Gate, Glenbrook, The Palisades, Stone Mountain Ridge. The Four Seasons Private Residences condominium project is currently under construction inside the community.
Roma Hills. A smaller guard-gated community of custom Mediterranean-style estates on larger lots, sitting between MacDonald Highlands and Sunridge. Generally above $1.5M.
Sunridge at MacDonald Ranch. The older gated community on the hillside below MacDonald Highlands, built primarily in the 1990s. Custom and semi-custom homes. A natural step for buyers who want the gated hillside lifestyle without MacDonald Highlands pricing.
A few things worth knowing before you tour

The Gene Simmons story tells you something useful about Ascaya. He bought 7 Talus Court in May 2021 for $8.2M, plus the adjacent half-acre lot for $2.6M. The Talus Court house was actually the first home ever built in Ascaya, completed in 2016. Simmons planted 137 trees on the empty parcel as a private botanical garden with walking paths for his dog. Five months later he listed the property. He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that his family had balked at the Las Vegas heat. The home sold in early 2022.
