The Ridges Homes for Sale
The Ridges is the flagship guard-gated luxury village inside Summerlin, opened by the Howard Hughes Corporation in the early 2000s and built around a championship golf course (Bear's Best, the Jack Nicklaus design that recreated 18 of his favorite holes from courses around the world, currently undergoing a $300M rebuild as the private members-only Amara Golf Club, slated to debut in late 2026). The community sits in the 89135 ZIP code on the elevated western edge of Summerlin, with Red Rock Canyon as the western backdrop and panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley to the east. Approximately 800 homes sit inside the gates across multiple sub-enclaves, with custom and semi-custom architecture from a roster of Las Vegas's top builders (Christopher Homes, Blue Heron, Sun West Custom Homes, and others). Inside The Ridges sits The Summit Club, a separate ultra-private community with its own Tom Fazio-designed golf course, a 24-hour concierge service, and a national-record condominium sale at $21M. The architectural language across The Ridges leans modern desert and contemporary luxury, with strict CC&Rs that maintain the upscale aesthetic. The Ridges has consistently produced some of the highest-priced residential sales in the Las Vegas metro since opening.
About The Ridges
The Ridges is the premier residential enclave within Summerlin, situated on elevated terrain along the western edge of the Las Vegas valley. The community is guard-gated with 24-hour security and offers some of the most commanding views available in the metropolitan area, including panoramic sightlines to the Las Vegas Strip, the surrounding mountain ranges, and Red Rock Canyon. The Ridges was developed as Summerlin's flagship luxury neighborhood, attracting custom and semi-custom estate homes designed by prominent architects.
Homes and Pricing
Homes in The Ridges range from approximately $1,050,000 to over $21,500,000. The community includes several sub-neighborhoods with distinct lot sizes and architectural guidelines. Semi-custom production homes by builders such as Toll Brothers and William Lyon Homes start at the lower end of the range, while fully custom estates on half-acre to one-acre lots with Strip or canyon views command prices well into the eight-figure range. Lot sizes vary significantly, with some of the largest parcels exceeding one acre.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Golf sits at the center of the community's next chapter. The course threading through The Ridges was Bear's Best, the Jack Nicklaus design that opened in 2001 with 18 of his hand-picked favorite holes recreated from courses around the world. The course sold in 2024 for $30.5 million and is currently undergoing a $300 million rebuild as Amara Golf Club, a private members-only club slated to debut in late 2026 (it closed to the public in June 2025). Beyond golf, the community offers a private park, walking trails, and landscaped common areas, and residents have access to the broader Summerlin amenity network, including the Downtown Summerlin retail district, community parks, and trail systems that connect to Red Rock Canyon. Several private country clubs are nearby, including Red Rock Country Club and TPC Summerlin, though membership is separate from residency.
Location and Commute
The Ridges is located in the western portion of Summerlin, accessible via Summerlin Parkway and the 215 beltway. The Las Vegas Strip is approximately 25 minutes by car. Downtown Summerlin provides shopping, dining, and entertainment within a short drive. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is just minutes from the community entrance, offering hiking, cycling, and scenic drives. The elevated location provides a sense of separation from the valley floor while maintaining convenient freeway access.
