Los Prados is the 1,358-home guard-gated golf community at Lone Mountain Road and Decatur Boulevard in northwest Las Vegas (ZIP 89130) — 21 villages built by U.S. Home between 1986 and the late 1990s on roughly 430 acres, four of them age-restricted, all of them wrapped around an 18-hole, par-70 Jeff Hardin course that the Los Prados Community Association owns outright. It is the most attainable price point in the entire valley gated-with-golf category, and the only one where the golf course is a resident-owned amenity rather than a private club or a third-party operator's business.
What makes Los Prados unusual is the combination that sounds contradictory until you understand how it is structured: a guard gate at both entrances, staffed around the clock, protecting a golf course that anyone in Las Vegas can book a tee time on. This guide explains how that works, who built the community and when, what the villages and home types look like in 2026, what the $220 monthly assessment actually buys, what the published green fees are for residents versus the public, and how Los Prados compares against Silverstone Ranch and Painted Desert for value buyers.
Los Prados is a 1,358-home guard-gated golf community in northwest Las Vegas, built by U.S. Home from 1986 around a par-70 course the community association owns and opens to the public. Both gates are staffed 24 hours, the assessment is $220 per month as of September 2026, and no golf membership is required — you pay per round. Prices ran $295,000 for entry townhomes to $615,000 for fairway estates through early 2026 — shop by village and product type first.
- Los Prados holds 1,358 homes in 21 villages on roughly 430 acres; four villages are age-restricted 55-plus.
- The par-70 Jeff Hardin course is owned by the community association and open to the public with resident pricing.
- The master assessment is $220 per month; both the Lone Mountain and Ann Road gates are staffed 24 hours.
- Resident green fees run $55 to $70 with cart as of September 2026; non-residents pay $65 to $85.
- Entry townhomes near $295,000 and fairway estates to $615,000 make it the valley's cheapest gated-with-golf option.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS data spanning 2025, the metro's median home price tracked $474,000 with median days-on-market near 31 days. In our experience reading these numbers against NREG's 9,600+ closings — and the 789 transactions we closed in 2025 alone — the headline figures often diverge from what specific submarkets are actually doing, and Los Prados is a submarket where a $220 assessment and a resident-owned course change the math.
What Makes Los Prados Different From Other Las Vegas Gated Communities?
Los Prados occupies a deliberately specific position in the valley's gated landscape — it is one of the earliest guard-gated golf communities in the northwest valley and the most attainable entry point in the gated-with-on-site-course category. According to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS attribute data and our 9,600+ NREG transaction history, no other valley community combines these traits: a 1980s founding, two 24-hour guard gates, an on-site 18-hole course owned by the residents, four age-restricted villages inside an all-ages master plan, and sub-$300,000 entry pricing.
The community's defining structural advantage is price attainability. Per Clark County Assessor parcel records and MLS closings through early 2026, Los Prados' median home price (approximately $425,000) is roughly 25 percent lower than Painted Desert ($565,000 median), roughly 25 percent lower than Silverstone Ranch ($555,000 median), and more than 55 percent lower than Las Vegas Country Club ($985,000 median). For value-conscious buyers wanting the gated-plus-golf combination, Los Prados is the only economically viable option in the valley.
The community's mixed-inventory model is the second defining trait. Unlike Silverstone Ranch (almost entirely single-family) or the single-family-dominant pockets of Painted Desert, Los Prados includes attached townhomes, single-story patio homes, and one- and two-story single-family homes ranging from 1,083 to 3,636 square feet — producing housing-type optionality that serves first-time gated buyers, active retirees in the 55-plus villages, and move-up families in the same perimeter. The third trait is ownership of the golf course itself, which is the subject of the next two sections.
How Was Los Prados Founded And Developed?
Los Prados was developed by U.S. Home Corporation, one of the largest national production builders of the era, on what was then the far northwestern edge of the Las Vegas valley along Lone Mountain Road. According to 55places, construction ran from 1986 to 1998 and delivered 1,358 homes across 21 distinct villages, four of which are age-restricted; the golf course, designed by architect Jeff Hardin, was built in 1987 according to the Los Prados Golf Club course-details page. A neighborhood history compiled by Neighborhoods in Las Vegas places the buildout at 1986–2001 on a 430-acre footprint, the small difference reflecting late infill parcels.
The development model was unusual for its time. U.S. Home built the course and the clubhouse as community property rather than spinning them off to a golf operator, and the Los Prados Community Association took title to both at turnover. That single decision explains most of what makes Los Prados different today: the course is an HOA amenity funded by the assessment and by public green fees, not a private club with an initiation, and not a third party's business that can be sold out from under the homeowners — the fate that befell Silverstone Ranch's course a few miles north when its operator closed it in 2015.
The community's pioneering identity is meaningful in valley real estate history. When Los Prados broke ground in 1986, the guard-gated golf model in Las Vegas was still confined to Las Vegas Country Club on the east side and Spanish Trail on the west; Painted Desert's first phases went in the same year across Ann Road, Anthem Country Club's Hale Irwin and Keith Foster course would not open until 1999, and Silverstone Ranch's 27-hole Bob Cupp design not until June 2001. Los Prados was the first NW-valley guard-gated golf community to deliberately target a middle-market price point rather than the trophy-luxury segment — with attached townhomes and 55-plus patio villages inside the same gate as fairway estates — a positioning that continues to define the community nearly 40 years later.
Why Does Los Prados Have a Guard Gate but a Public Golf Course?
The apparent contradiction resolves once you separate the two things the gate protects. According to the Los Prados Golf Club community page, Los Prados is a guard-gated community with a main entrance on Lone Mountain Road and a back-gate entrance on Ann Road, both staffed with security seven days a week and 24 hours a day, along with a patrolling rover. The gate controls vehicle access to the residential streets. It does not make the golf course private — because the course sits inside the gate, but the association that owns it has chosen to sell tee times to the public.
According to the Los Prados Golf Club, the course is "owned and operated by the Los Prados Community Association" and "comprised of 1,358 homes that surround our course, clubhouse, pools, and tennis courts." The community page states plainly that "the Golf Course is also open to the public" and that "residents receive preferred pricing and tee times for golf." Non-resident golfers check in at the gate with a tee time, drive to the clubhouse at 5150 Los Prados Circle, play, and leave; they do not get the run of the neighborhood. Tee times can be booked up to 90 days in advance, prepaid.
The economics are the point. A private club needs initiation fees and monthly dues from a few hundred members to cover agronomy, water, and staff. An association-owned course spreads the fixed cost across all 1,358 assessments — a fraction of the burden per household — and then sells the surplus tee-sheet capacity to the public at market rates, with residents at a discount. That is why Los Prados can run an 18-hole course, a restaurant, a lounge, two pools, and tennis on a $220 monthly assessment, and why there is no required golf membership to buy, transfer, or lose at resale — the club offers an optional membership, but nothing attaches to the deed. Residents who never play still own a share of the course; residents who play weekly pay resident green fees rather than four-figure dues.
The trade-offs are real but manageable. Weekend-morning tee times compete with the public, course conditions are a board budget decision rather than a member vote, and a public tee sheet means fairway-lot backyards see non-resident foursomes. In our experience, that last point rarely matters at Los Prados' price tier, and the upside — a course that cannot be sold or shuttered by an outside owner, because the residents are the owner — is the strongest structural protection any NW valley golf community offers.
Where Exactly Is Los Prados Located?
Los Prados sits at the intersection of Lone Mountain Road and N Decatur Boulevard in northwest Las Vegas (ZIP 89130), with the main gate on Lone Mountain Road and the back gate on Ann Road. The community is roughly 15 miles northwest of the Las Vegas Strip and about 11 miles from Harry Reid International Airport via the US-95 / Decatur corridor. The mailing address structure is "Las Vegas, NV 89130" and the clubhouse address is 5150 Los Prados Circle.
According to Clark County School District attendance-boundary data, Los Prados residents are zoned to Heard Elementary, Saville Middle School, and Centennial High School — the same NW valley zoning that serves the broader Centennial Hills corridor. Drive-time from Los Prados:
- 23 minutes to the Las Vegas Strip via US-95 / I-15
- 20 minutes to Harry Reid International Airport via US-95 / I-215
- 6 minutes to the Centennial Center commercial district (grocery, pharmacy, retail)
- 3 minutes to the N Rancho Drive commercial corridor
- 8 minutes to the US-95 / I-215 interchange
- 12 minutes to Summerlin center via Lone Mountain Road
- 16 minutes to Red Rock Canyon NCA
According to Federal Communications Commission broadband data, ZIP 89130 is served by Cox gigabit fiber, CenturyLink fiber-to-the-home in select sections, and T-Mobile / Verizon 5G fixed wireless. Every Los Prados home qualifies for at least one gigabit-speed wired connection, which matters for the remote-work buyers who have become a meaningful share of the community's under-45 purchasers.
What Does Los Prados Look Like Today In 2026?
The community's physical fabric reflects a late-1980s and 1990s production vocabulary that has matured into a uniquely park-like character compared to newer NW valley gated alternatives. According to 55places, homes range from approximately 1,083 to more than 3,300 square feet with two to four bedrooms and two to four bathrooms; the community history compiled by Neighborhoods in Las Vegas puts the top of the range at 3,636 square feet. Three product bands sit inside the 21 villages:
Single-family homes follow the U.S. Home production-custom vocabulary of the era — stucco façades with Spanish-Mediterranean detailing, tile roofs, two- to three-car garages, formal living and dining configurations, and 2,000–3,600-square-foot one- and two-story plans on the community's largest lots, with the fairway-frontage lots at the top of the market. Many have been substantially renovated with modern kitchens, baths, and flooring over the past decade.
Single-story patio homes deliver smaller single-level homes, typically 1,400–1,900 square feet, with two-car garages, low-maintenance landscaping, and two- to three-bedroom layouts. This product is concentrated in the four age-restricted villages, where the 55-plus designation keeps the streets quiet and the buyer pool retiree-heavy. These represent the most accessible detached inventory at the $345K–$445K price band.
Attached townhomes deliver two-story attached homes, typically 1,100–1,650 square feet, with single- or two-car garages, the primary suite upstairs, and small private patios. These trade in the $295K–$355K band — among the lowest entry-point pricing for any guard-gated community in the valley.
The community completed buildout by the late 1990s and is fully built out. Inventory is exclusively resale, and the shared amenities — the clubhouse with its restaurant, lounge, library, banquet facility, and conference room; the two pools near the clubhouse; the tennis courts renovated in 2014 with pickleball and shuffleboard added; the 2.2-mile walking path around the community; and a 205-space RV lot — are all association-owned per the club's community page.
How Much Do Homes In Los Prados Cost?
Pricing reflects the mixed inventory types and the variance between interior cul-de-sac and fairway-frontage positions:
| Home Type | Typical Sqft | Lot Size | Sold-Price Band | $/Sqft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry townhome (2-BR) | 1,100 – 1,650 | attached | $295,000 – $355,000 | $210 – $235 |
| Single-story patio home | 1,400 – 1,900 | 0.08 – 0.14 ac | $345,000 – $445,000 | $225 – $245 |
| Standard single-family | 2,000 – 2,600 | 0.13 – 0.18 ac | $395,000 – $495,000 | $195 – $215 |
| Upgraded / renovated single-family | 2,400 – 3,200 | 0.16 – 0.22 ac | $485,000 – $595,000 | $200 – $225 |
| Fairway-frontage estate | 2,800 – 3,636 | 0.18 – 0.25 ac | $535,000 – $615,000+ | $185 – $210 |
Across the 9,600+ NREG closings, Los Prados price-per-square-foot averages run roughly 12-20% lower than equivalent non-gated NW valley inventory — counterintuitive but a function of the 1980s-1990s construction era keeping base $/sqft below newer competitive sets. The gated security and resident-owned golf are amenity value-adds, but mature housing stock keeps absolute prices accessible.
The strongest value position is the upgraded single-family inventory at $485K-$595K, which delivers 2,400-3,200 sqft with substantial recent renovation in a guard-gated golf-community envelope — comparable square footage in non-gated open NW valley pockets runs $50K-$80K higher because it lacks the gated security premium.
What Are Los Prados HOA Fees And Golf Costs?
According to the Los Prados Golf Club community page, the Los Prados Community Association assessment is $220 per month. That figure covers the 24-hour staffed gates and roving patrol, the private streets and common-area landscaping, and — because the association owns them — the golf course, the clubhouse with restaurant, lounge, library, banquet facility, and conference room, the two pools, the tennis, pickleball, and shuffleboard courts, the 2.2-mile walking path, and the 205-space RV lot. Some villages carry a modest sub-association charge on top for village-specific common areas or exterior maintenance on attached product; 55places lists a $162–$206 monthly range for the 55-plus villages, so confirm the exact stack from the NRS 116 resale package for the specific home.
There is no golf membership you are required to buy, and none that attaches to the house. The club does offer an optional membership — it keeps a membership page and takes inquiries by phone — but it publishes no tiers, no dues and no initiation figure there, so I am not going to invent one. What the club does publish is its rate card, and that is what almost every Los Prados golfer actually pays. According to the club's rates page, as of September 2026, 18-hole green fees including cart run as follows: local residents pay $65 Monday–Thursday and $70 Friday–Sunday before 1:00 p.m., dropping to $55 and $60 after 1:00 p.m.; non-residents pay $80 and $85 before 1:00 p.m., and $65 and $70 after; casino, military, teacher, and law-enforcement players with ID pay $60/$65 before 1:00 p.m. and $55/$60 after. The twilight rate includes a hot dog and a draft beer or fountain soda, and a single cart is $20 for golfers who want their own. Tee times open 90 days in advance, prepaid.
| Monthly Carry Item | Non-golfing resident | Resident playing four weekday rounds |
|---|---|---|
| Association assessment | $220 | $220 |
| Property tax (Clark County escrow) | approximately $245/mo | approximately $245/mo |
| Golf (resident weekday rate, cart included) | $0 | $260 (4 × $65) |
| Monthly carry (ex-mortgage) | approximately $465 | approximately $725 |
The number to notice is what is missing: there is no required initiation, no mandatory dues line, no food-and-beverage minimum, and no assessment for course capital beyond the $220 everyone pays. An optional club membership does exist for golfers who want one, but it is a choice, not a condition of owning here. A weekly golfer at Los Prados spends roughly $3,100 a year on golf at resident rates; the same golfer at a valley private club would typically spend more than that on dues alone before the first round. And because green fees are pay-as-you-play, a household's golf cost falls to zero in any month they do not play — the opposite of a dues model.
Which Los Prados Floor Plans Are Most Common?
Across the 1986–1998 development phases, the most recurring floor-plan patterns fall into five bands, and the band you buy in determines which village you live in, because U.S. Home built each village as a single product run:
Entry townhome plans (1,100–1,650 sqft) follow attached two-story configurations with two bedrooms (primary plus guest), two to two-and-a-half baths, a single-car or two-car attached garage, the primary suite on the second floor, and small private patios. These are the lowest-priced homes behind any staffed gate in the valley, and the ones investors and first-time gated buyers compete for.
Single-story patio-home plans (1,400–1,900 sqft) deliver detached single-level homes with two bedrooms or two plus a den, two baths, a two-car garage, and a covered rear patio. Concentrated in the four age-restricted villages, these are the plans retiree buyers seek for single-level access and low-maintenance yards; the 55-plus designation means at least one occupant must meet the age standard, which keeps those streets quieter than the all-ages villages.
Standard single-family plans (2,000–2,600 sqft) follow the late-1980s production-custom vocabulary — three to four bedrooms, two to three baths, two- to three-car garages, formal living and family-room separation, and large rear yards with optional pool. These are the community's move-up family homes and the bulk of the all-ages villages.
Upgraded / renovated single-family plans (2,400–3,200 sqft) are the same 1980s–1990s base plans that have been substantially renovated over the past decade — new kitchens, updated baths, modern flooring, current finishes. This is the strongest value-per-renovation-dollar position in the community, because a buyer inherits a finished home at a price that non-gated NW pockets cannot match.
Fairway-frontage estates (2,800–3,636 sqft) deliver the largest floor plans with course-frontage views — four bedrooms, three-car garages, larger rear yards integrated with fairway sightlines. These are the community's top-of-market and the slowest to sell, because the buyer pool narrows to course-orientation specialists who accept that a resident-owned public course means non-resident foursomes pass the back fence.
What Schools Serve Los Prados Residents?
Clark County School District attendance boundaries route Los Prados through:
- Elementary: Heard Elementary (1.8 miles east)
- Middle School: Saville Middle School (2.4 miles south)
- High School: Centennial High School (3.2 miles southwest)
According to GreatSchools ratings, the zoned schools rate 5/10 (Heard), 5/10 (Saville), and 7/10 (Centennial High) — meaningfully better than central-valley alternatives, with Centennial High particularly strong as one of the top-rated public high schools in the NW valley. Because CCSD adjusts elementary boundaries more often than high-school boundaries, run the specific address through the district's zoning lookup before writing an offer, particularly for homes on the community's Ann Road edge.
Private and magnet options within commuting distance:
- Faith Lutheran Middle School and High School (independent, 9.2 miles southeast)
- Las Vegas Day School (independent K-8, 12.1 miles southeast)
- The Meadows School (independent K-12, 14.5 miles southeast)
- Northwest Career and Technical Academy (CCSD magnet, 4.5 miles south)
In our experience, roughly 75-80% of school-age Los Prados families use the zoned public schools — the highest public-school participation rate among valley guard-gated communities, reflecting the community's middle-market demographic profile and the strong Centennial High rating. Two things temper the school conversation at Los Prados. First, four of the 21 villages are age-restricted, so a meaningful share of the community has no school-age children at all, and the all-ages villages are where families concentrate. Second, the walking path and the two association pools function as the community's after-school infrastructure in a way that newer NW subdivisions without a clubhouse cannot replicate — a practical amenity for families that rarely shows up in a school-rating comparison.
How Long Do Los Prados Homes Sit On The Market?
According to recent Las Vegas REALTORS reports for ZIP 89130, Los Prados inventory sells at a median 29-day DOM — faster than the broader 89130 ZIP (42 days) and faster than the valley-wide median of 38 days. The strong DOM reflects the community's affordability and demographic breadth (a broader buyer pool means faster turnover).
| Price Band | Typical Buyer | Median DOM | List-price velocity |
|---|---|---|---|
| $295K – $355K (entry townhome) | First-time gated buyer, investor | 15 days | 99.5% list |
| $345K – $445K (patio home) | Active retiree, first single-story | 22 days | 98.5% list |
| $395K – $495K (standard SF) | Move-up buyer, growing family | 32 days | 98.0% list |
| $485K – $595K (renovated SF) | Move-up buyer, value-seeker | 38 days | 97.5% list |
| $535K+ (fairway estate) | Course-frontage buyer | 52 days | 96.5% list |
The entry townhome band moves fastest because it serves multiple buyer types — first-time gated buyers, investor and rental buyers (Los Prados has the strongest landlord-friendly economics of any valley gated community), and downsizing seniors. Fairway-frontage takes longer because the buyer pool narrows to course-orientation specialists, and because the public tee sheet is a feature some estate buyers want explained before they commit.
Who Buys Homes In Los Prados In 2026?
Across the 9,600+ valley transactions the NREG team has represented, four buyer profiles account for roughly 85% of Los Prados closings:
- First-time gated buyer (32%): moving up from an open-neighborhood NW Las Vegas rental; entry townhome or patio home in the $295K-$445K band; typically 25-40 years old, primary residence. For this buyer the staffed gate and the $220 assessment that includes the pools and clubhouse are the draw; golf is incidental.
- Active retiree on fixed income (28%): downsizing from a larger valley home; single-story patio home in one of the four age-restricted villages, or an upgraded single-family home in the $345K-$525K band; specifically choosing Los Prados because the golf, the restaurant, and the RV lot are included in a predictable assessment rather than a dues structure that rises with club spending.
- Value-conscious move-up buyer (17%): growing family wanting gated security at attainable pricing; standard or upgraded single-family in the $395K-$595K band in the all-ages villages, usually with Centennial High School as the deciding factor.
- Investor / rental buyer (10%): purchasing for long-term rental income; entry townhome or patio home in the $295K-$445K band targeting NW valley renter demographics — Los Prados has the strongest landlord economics of any valley gated community due to the low absolute price points, though the age-restricted villages carry occupancy rules that limit the tenant pool.
The remaining 15% are out-of-state in-migration retirees, second-home buyers (rare given the entry-price band), and a small cohort of military relocators from Nellis AFB (12 miles east). In our experience, the single most common reason a Los Prados buyer chooses it over a comparable non-gated Centennial Hills home is not golf at all — it is the combination of the gate, the walking path, and a clubhouse restaurant they can reach on foot, which at $220 a month is a package no open subdivision in the northwest can match.
How Does Los Prados Compare To Silverstone Ranch And Painted Desert?
For buyers cross-shopping NW valley guard-gated alternatives:
| Attribute | Los Prados | Silverstone Ranch | Painted Desert |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founded | 1986 | 2001 | 1987 |
| Home count | 1,358 | more than 1,500 | about 1,600 |
| On-site golf | Yes — par-70, owned by the HOA, open to public | Course closed since 2015; sold at auction May 2025, dormant | Yes — par-72 Jay Morrish, Arcis-operated, public |
| Inventory types | SF + patio + townhome; four 55+ villages | SF primarily | SF + townhome + condo |
| Median sold price | $425,000 | $555,000 | $565,000 |
| Monthly HOA | $220 master (golf included) | $150-$350 | about $124 master + sub-association |
Decision framework:
- Choose Los Prados if: you want the lowest entry-price gated-plus-golf community in the valley, you specifically need townhome, patio-home, or 55-plus village inventory, you value a golf course the residents own and no outside operator can close, or you are an investor targeting NW valley rental income.
- Choose Silverstone Ranch if: you want newer 2000s construction quality at a higher price point and larger community scale — but go in with clear eyes about the golf course. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Silverstone course has been closed since 2015, was sold at auction in May 2025 to a land investor, and carries a deed restriction requiring a 27-hole golf use unless 75 percent of the community's homeowners approve something else. Fairway lots there overlook dormant land today.
- Choose Painted Desert if: you want a larger all-ages perimeter, the Centennial High cluster with a slightly newer average build, or a championship-length par-72 course — accepting that the course belongs to Arcis Golf rather than the residents, so its condition and pricing are a national operator's decision, and that you will pay a master fee plus a sub-association fee.
The structural contrast is the takeaway. Three NW guard-gated golf communities from the same two decades ended up with three different golf-ownership models: Los Prados' residents own theirs, Painted Desert's is a third party's daily-fee business, and Silverstone's was sold out from under the homeowners and shut. For a value buyer whose purchase premise includes golf, that ownership question matters more than the yardage.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of Buying In Los Prados?
Strengths: lowest entry-price guard-gated-with-golf community in the valley (sub-$300K townhomes available); a par-70 course, clubhouse restaurant, two pools, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, a 2.2-mile walking path, and a 205-space RV lot all owned by the association and covered by a $220 monthly assessment; no required golf membership, initiation, or dues, with an optional club membership available for golfers who want one; resident green fees of $55–$70 with cart as of September 2026; four age-restricted villages for buyers who want a 55-plus street inside an all-ages community; a 40-year mature landscape canopy unmatched by newer NW gated alternatives; two 24-hour staffed gates plus a roving patrol; Centennial High School zoning (7/10 GreatSchools); and strong rental economics for investor buyers.
Trade-offs: 1986–1998 construction era means older systems than Silverstone Ranch's 2000s product, so renovation budgets of $25K–$80K are common when buying original-condition inventory; the mixed inventory (townhomes beside single-family) produces a less uniform streetscape than a single-product community; the course is public, so weekend-morning tee times compete with the broader market and fairway lots see non-resident play; the executive-length layout (5,450 yards from the championship tees, rating 64.8, slope 103 per the club's course page) will not satisfy a low-handicap golfer who wants a 7,000-yard test; the 23-minute Strip commute is longer than central-valley alternatives; and the community lacks the resort-style pool and contemporary clubhouse of the newest NW master plans.
For most Los Prados buyers, the framework reduces to a single question: does the lowest entry-price gated-plus-golf combination — with a course the residents own — outweigh the older construction era? For first-time gated buyers, active retirees, and investor buyers, the answer is consistently yes. For move-up buyers wanting newer construction quality, Silverstone Ranch delivers different value at $100K–$200K higher entry, but without a functioning golf course; for buyers who want championship-length golf, Painted Desert delivers it at a $140K premium and with a third-party operator. Serious golfers should walk the Los Prados layout before deciding; buyers who play a few times a year should walk the clubhouse and the path instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Los Prados guard-gated 24/7?
Yes. According to the Los Prados Golf Club community page, the main entrance on Lone Mountain Road and the back-gate entrance on Ann Road are both staffed with security seven days a week and 24 hours a day, supplemented by a patrolling rover. Resident, guest, vendor, and golf-visitor traffic follow separate entry protocols, and non-resident golfers check in with a tee time rather than roaming the neighborhood.
Do I have to join a golf club to live in Los Prados?
No — there is no golf club to join. The par-70 course is owned and operated by the Los Prados Community Association, so every homeowner already owns a share of it through the $220 monthly assessment. Residents simply book tee times at the resident rate ($55–$70 with cart as of September 2026) when they want to play, and pay nothing toward golf in months they do not.
What are typical Los Prados HOA fees?
The master assessment is $220 per month per the club's community page, which covers the staffed gates, streets, landscaping, golf course, clubhouse, pools, courts, walking path, and RV lot. Some villages — particularly the four age-restricted villages and attached product — carry a modest sub-association charge for village-specific maintenance; 55places lists a $162–$206 monthly range for the 55-plus villages. Confirm the exact stack from the NRS 116 resale package for the specific home.
How does Los Prados compare to Silverstone Ranch for value buyers?
Los Prados runs roughly $100K-$200K below Silverstone Ranch across comparable home types — the trade-off is older 1986–1998 construction versus Silverstone's 2001–2008 production-build vintage. But Silverstone's golf course has been closed since 2015 and was sold at auction in May 2025 with no redevelopment plan, so buyers there are paying a gated premium around dormant fairways. Buyers prioritizing price floor, rental economics, or a functioning resident-owned course favor Los Prados; buyers prioritizing newer construction favor Silverstone Ranch.
Are there any new-construction homes available in Los Prados?
No. The community completed buildout by the late 1990s with no new construction since. Inventory is exclusively resale, and given the established lot sizes and HOA structure, tear-down rebuilds are rare. Buyers wanting brand-new NW valley construction should look at newer master plans like Providence and Skye Canyon; buyers who want a slightly newer gated-golf perimeter with later phases should compare Painted Desert's 2000s and 2013 infill pockets.
Is Los Prados landlord-friendly for rental property investors?
Yes — Los Prados has the strongest rental economics of any valley guard-gated community. The combination of low absolute purchase prices ($295K-$445K entry), a $220 assessment that includes the amenities tenants value, and strong NW valley rental demand produces gross rent yields typically running 0.7-0.9% monthly — among the highest in the valley gated tier. Per Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116, the HOA has limited authority to ban rentals, though minimum lease terms are common and the four age-restricted villages carry occupancy-age rules that narrow the tenant pool.
How safe is Los Prados as a gated community?
In our experience, Los Prados residents report substantially lower property-crime incidence than non-gated NW valley alternatives — two 24-hour staffed gates and a roving patrol effectively eliminate the through-traffic patterns that affect open neighborhoods, and the public golf traffic is logged at the gate with a tee time. For a data-driven comparison, pull the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's area-command statistics for the Northwest Area Command, which covers ZIP 89130, and compare the beat that contains Los Prados against the surrounding open subdivisions.
Should You Tour Los Prados With Nevada Real Estate Group?
If your shortlist includes a staffed gate, a golf course you can walk to, and a monthly carry under $500 before the mortgage, Los Prados is the community to see first — and the one where the tour itself answers the most questions. In a single visit we can show you the difference between an all-ages village and one of the four age-restricted villages, walk the clubhouse, restaurant, pools, and the 2.2-mile path that the $220 assessment covers, and pull up the resident rate card at the pro shop so you can compare pay-as-you-play golf against the dues you would owe at a private club.
Across the 9,600+ closings Nevada Real Estate Group has represented over 16 years — 789 of them in 2025 — the Los Prados buyers who have been happiest are the ones who matched the village to the life stage: townhome buyers who wanted the gate without the yard, retirees who wanted a single-story plan on a 55-plus street, and families who wanted Centennial High with a walking path out the front door. We keep current comps by village and product type, we know which fairway lots back onto the quieter holes, and we read the NRS 116 resale package — including the sub-association layer where it applies — before the cancellation window runs.
Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759, email info@nevadagroup.com, or start with the Los Prados community page for current active listings. We will send a standing-inventory summary by village, the September 2026 green-fee card, and a side-by-side against Painted Desert and Silverstone Ranch that answers the golf-ownership question before you spend a weekend at the gate. You can also browse every Las Vegas guard-gated community and the Las Vegas townhome market on our search.
