SAFETY & CRIME
Is Highland Hills Ranch Safe?
Yes. Highland Hills Ranch is policed by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. Eastern Henderson's owner-occupied residential corridors — including the 89015 ZIP — are settled suburban streets where incidents concentrate on property matters rather than violent crime.
- Safest large U.S. cities, regular Henderson rankingFBI UCR-based national comparisons
- Henderson Police Department coverageCity of Henderson services — not LVMPD
- Nearly three decades of settled, owner-heavy streetsCommunity records
- Violent crime vs national average, citywideFBI Uniform Crime Reporting
What Buyers Should Know
Age and ownership work together in eastern Henderson: Highland Hills Ranch's 1998-era streets are predominantly owner-occupied, interior residential, and removed from Boulder Highway's commercial arterial — so the through-traffic that drives property incidents in retail corridors barely touches the neighborhood's residential blocks.
The Boulder Highway commercial corridor to the west sees the property incidents typical of any busy retail strip: vehicle break-ins and shoplifting reports concentrated around parking areas, at rates consistent with Henderson's broader figures. Residential streets in Highland Hills Ranch run noticeably quieter.
For buyers wanting specific incident patterns by block, the Henderson Police Department publishes crime data through the City of Henderson's online portal — cross-referenced with community records, it gives a street-level picture before you commit to a specific address.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does Highland Hills Ranch Score?
Highland Hills Ranch earns strong marks for affordability, outdoor access, and commute convenience, with honest trade-offs on school ratings and the density of in-plan amenities. Below is our category-by-category report card — the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating buyer before a first tour of this eastern Henderson neighborhood.
Grade A: Safety
Henderson Police Department coverage; Henderson regularly ranks among the safest large U.S. cities per FBI UCR-based comparisons. Eastern Henderson residential corridors are owner-heavy and settled.
Grade B: Schools
Zoned Gordon McCaw Elementary, Brown Junior High, and Basic High School plus Somerset Academy Henderson charter (7/10 GreatSchools). Solid but not the headline draw compared to western Henderson zones.
Grade A-: Cost of Living
The $429,900 ZIP-area median undercuts Henderson's $548K citywide figure by over $118K, and HOA dues run $60–$150 — among the lightest in Henderson.
Grade B+: Amenities
Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, Acacia Park, Boulder Highway retail, and Henderson city services. Thinner than western Henderson master plans but sufficient for everyday needs.
Grade A-: Outdoor Access
140-acre Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve five minutes away, 18-acre Acacia Park in-neighborhood, Henderson trail connections, and Lake Mead about 20 minutes east.
Grade A-: Commute
I-515 / US-93 corridor: airport 15 minutes, Strip 22 minutes, Green Valley Ranch 15 minutes. Most daily errands stay inside eastern Henderson without a freeway.

Quick Answer
Is Highland Hills Ranch a good place to live?
Yes — for families and value-conscious buyers, Highland Hills Ranch is one of eastern Henderson's strongest arguments. Established 1998-era streets, a $429,900 ZIP-area median well below Henderson's citywide figure, HOA dues from $60 monthly, and five-minute access to the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve cover the lifestyle essentials. The honest trade-offs: school ratings run below western Henderson plans, in-plan amenities are thinner than newer master plans, and 1998-era homes need inspection diligence. Nevada's zero state income tax and the Clark County Assessor's 0.5–0.7% effective rate keep ownership costs predictable.

Who Lives in Highland Hills Ranch?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains Highland Hills Ranch — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put roughly 4,000 residents inside Highland Hills Ranch itself across approximately 1,200+ households.
The Census does not break Highland Hills Ranch out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the community, our closing data shows a mix of first-time buyers drawn by entry pricing, families clustered near Acacia Park and the school corridor, value-conscious move-up buyers from other eastern Henderson addresses, and buy-and-hold investors attracted by the entry price and rental-market depth.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Highland Hills Ranch Area Growing?
Highland Hills Ranch itself is essentially built out — the plan has been at full capacity since the mid-2000s — while its parent city continues adding residents: Henderson has grown by roughly 74,000 people since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on the 89015 ZIP's finished resale stock.
Henderson citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside Highland Hills Ranch, growth means turnover, not expansion: 268 ZIP-area active listings and a 25-day median show how actively the established stock trades. That is the investment logic of a built-out neighborhood — no new supply can dilute it, while every new eastern Henderson resident adds demand for the pricing, parks, and commute convenience Highland Hills Ranch already owns.

- Boulder Highway commercial corridor noise can affect streets nearest the arterial

Section Deep Dive
What's Inside Highland Hills Ranch's Three Sections?

Highland Hills Ranch North
The northern section hugs Acacia Park and the school corridor — established streets with the shortest walk to the park's sports fields and playgrounds, and the most family-dense character in the community.
Browse Highland Hills Ranch North homes →Submarket 2
Highland Hills Ranch South
The most affordable section and the community's best first-time and investor entry point — slightly smaller lots and closer to Boulder Highway, but the pricing reflects both, and rental demand here is steady.
Browse Highland Hills Ranch South homes →Submarket 3
Highland Hills Ranch Estates
Premium lots and larger floor plans ranging toward 3,000 square feet, many with unobstructed McCullough Range views — the section for buyers who want move-up character at a price still below western Henderson comps.

Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve
The community's signature outdoor amenity — 140 acres of ponds, wetlands, and desert habitat five minutes from any Highland Hills Ranch street via Moser Drive. Migratory birds, walking trails, and photography opportunities make this a daily-use asset that elevates the neighborhood's lifestyle proposition beyond what the price point typically delivers.

New Construction
Who Builds New Homes in and Around Highland Hills Ranch?
Highland Hills Ranch is essentially built out — its 1,200+ homes were completed between 1998 and the mid-2000s, so resales drive the market here. New construction sits primarily in Cadence about 15 minutes west, where national builders compete on incentives that change monthly. Verify current communities and pricing before writing anything.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in Highland Hills Ranch?
Highland Hills Ranch HOA dues run approximately $60 to $150 per month depending on the section — lighter than most newer Henderson master plans and a meaningful advantage for buyers stretching into homeownership from a first-time budget. Standard residential sections fall toward the $60–$100 band; sections with additional common-area maintenance reach $120–$150. There is no single master association billing every street uniformly. Always pull the resale package — dues, reserve-fund level, and CC&Rs — during your escrow period before funding.
Should I Move to Highland Hills Ranch?
Every month, households from California and other high-tax states discover that an established Henderson neighborhood with mountain views is attainable below Henderson's $548K citywide median. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that difference funds most relocations.
Why Buyers Are Choosing Highland Hills Ranch
The tax math is the starting point: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $200,000 saves roughly $16,000 per year in state income taxes alone. Highland Hills Ranch adds the suburban value argument: an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences, attached to established 1998-era streets with mountain views and light HOA dues of $60–$150 monthly.
At a $430,000 budget, Bay Area buyers are looking at a small condo or a distant suburb with a grueling commute. That same budget in Highland Hills Ranch secures a four-bedroom single-family home in an established eastern Henderson neighborhood with McCullough Range views — with Acacia Park, the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, and the I-515 corridor minutes from the driveway.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the median list price across the Highland Hills Ranch ZIP area (89015) is $429,900. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data places Henderson among the safest large U.S. cities, and GreatSchools lists charter options including Somerset Academy Henderson rated 7/10.
Highland Hills Ranch sits on the I-515 / US-93 employment corridor: Harry Reid International Airport is about 15 minutes west, the St. Rose Dominican Hospital network anchors healthcare jobs, and Henderson's municipal campus and Boulder Highway retail strip add retail, service, and government employment within eastern Henderson itself.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Highland Hills Ranch vs. Los Angeles
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The entry price for an established four-bedroom single-family home in Highland Hills Ranch is a fraction of a comparable Los Angeles suburb.
| Metric | Highland Hills Ranch, NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |

Highland Hills Ranch Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Eastern Henderson single-family homes typically rent for about $1,800–$2,400 monthly, with condition and school proximity driving premiums and minimal vacancy. The investment logic is straightforward: entry prices from $380,000, HOA dues as low as $60 monthly, and the I-515 employment corridor keep demand steady. Short-term rentals are tightly regulated by the City of Henderson — read the rules before underwriting nightly income.

Start Your Relocation SearchRELOCATION TIMELINE
How to relocate to Highland Hills Ranch in 8 steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8–12 week timeline most Highland Hills Ranch buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your section and set a budget
Decide which Highland Hills Ranch section fits: $380K–$430K South for entry or investment, $400K–$480K North near Acacia Park and schools, or $550K–$650K Estates for larger floor plans with mountain views. Each carries different lot sizes and access profiles.
Get pre-approved — zone-aware
Conventional, FHA, and VA all work across most of the plan. FHA conforming limits cover most Highland Hills Ranch pricing well, and VA loans work for eligible veterans at any price point in the community.
Hire an eastern Henderson specialist
School zone boundaries run at the block level in 89015, and ZIP-level comps blend in Old Town Henderson and the Boulder Highway corridor — work with an agent who knows which streets carry which zones, dues, and section characters.
Tour in person or virtually
Walk a South section entry street, a North section park-adjacent block, and an Estates-section mountain-view home in one afternoon — the three sections feel genuinely different. Virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers using our team.
Write and negotiate the offer
Entry-priced move-in-ready homes need clean, fast terms; dated originals needing system updates reward inspection-based negotiation. Your agent's read on the specific block and section sets the strategy.
Inspection, HOA docs & appraisal
Gear diligence to the stock: roof, HVAC, water heater, and plumbing on 1998–2005-era homes are the standard checklist. Pull the resale package — dues, reserves, CC&Rs — wherever an association exists.
Clear conditions & fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys; expect 30–45 days from acceptance to funding, plus a few days for HOA document delivery where applicable.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, City of Henderson water), then handle the DMV — license within 30 days of residency, registration within 60.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning a ZIP-area-median Highland Hills Ranch home for five years nets out cheaper than renting once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $108,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter walks away with none. A built-out neighborhood with no new supply gives that appreciation assumption structural support.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $95/mo blended HOA, ~7% resale costs.

Quick Answer
How long does it take to close on a home in Highland Hills Ranch?
Most Highland Hills Ranch purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Financed buyers should build time for HVAC and roof inspections on 1998–2005-era homes, HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days where applicable, and peak-season appraisal scheduling can extend the timeline. Set clear inspection and financing deadlines in your offer.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in Highland Hills Ranch?
Most buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% — and most Highland Hills Ranch pricing from $380K to $550K falls comfortably under the FHA conforming limit. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. On the $429,900 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $21,500 (5%) to $85,980 (20%). Jumbo financing rarely applies in this community, which simplifies qualifying for most buyers.
Highland Hills Ranch FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do Highland Hills Ranch Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat is the median home price in Highland Hills Ranch?
Highland Hills Ranch homes span roughly $380,000 to $650,000 per plan records — entry single-stories near $380K, upgraded mid-range homes in the $450K–$550K band, and larger McCullough Range-view floor plans reaching $650K. The ZIP-area (89015) median list price is $435,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS. Pull street-level comparables before writing an offer.
Is Highland Hills Ranch a good place for families?
Yes. Highland Hills Ranch delivers the essentials that family buyers prioritize: quiet residential streets built out since 1998, 18-acre Acacia Park minutes from any address, the 140-acre Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve about five minutes away via Moser Drive, and school access through Gordon McCaw Elementary plus charter options including Somerset Academy Henderson. Pricing from roughly $380,000 keeps the entry attainable. Visit on a weekday afternoon to see the everyday rhythm — school drop-off and park traffic confirm the family density quickly.
What are HOA fees in Highland Hills Ranch?
HOA dues run approximately $60 to $150 per month depending on the section, per community records — lighter than most newer Henderson master plans. The lower figure applies to standard residential sections; the higher end covers sections with added common-area maintenance. There is no single master association billing every street uniformly. During escrow, pull the resale package — dues schedule, reserve-fund study, CC&Rs, and any pending special-assessment history — so there are no surprises after funding.
What are the schools like in Highland Hills Ranch?
Zoned public schools include Gordon McCaw Elementary (K–5), Brown Junior High (6–8), and Basic High School (9–12) per Clark County School District records. The CCSD charter tier adds Somerset Academy Henderson (K–12, 7/10 on GreatSchools), and Henderson International School (PreK–12) anchors the private option nearby. School zone boundaries run at the block level in eastern Henderson, so verify the exact zoning for any address before you offer — the right street matters.
What recreation is available near Highland Hills Ranch?
Outdoor access is a genuine advantage here. The 140-acre Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve — ponds, nature trails, photography hides — sits about five minutes away via Moser Drive per community records. Acacia Park adds roughly 18 acres of sports fields, playgrounds, walking paths, and picnic shelters within the neighborhood. The broader Henderson trail system connects eastern Henderson for cyclists and walkers, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area is about 20 minutes east for boating, hiking, and kayaking weekends.
Is Highland Hills Ranch good for investors?
The investment math is attractive: entry prices from roughly $380,000 in ZIP 89015, Henderson rental demand supported by the airport and hospital employment corridors, and HOA dues as low as $60 monthly keep carrying costs lean. The Clark County Assessor sets effective property-tax rates at roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value, and Nevada levies zero state income tax per the Nevada Department of Taxation — both reduce operating costs. Underwrite each property on current rent comparables and condition; our team at (702) 637-1759 can model realistic numbers for any specific listing.
What is the average days on market in Highland Hills Ranch?
Homes sold across the Highland Hills Ranch ZIP area (89015) over the past hundred days took a median of about 18 days from list to accepted offer per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — and 268 active listings indicate a moderately paced market. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes in the $380K–$450K band tend to draw offers faster; dated originals needing system updates give buyers more leverage. Plan for a competitive showing schedule on the best-priced listings in any given week.
What are property taxes like in Highland Hills Ranch?
Property taxes stay low by national standards. The Clark County Assessor sets effective rates at roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value on a primary residence, and Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% for owner-occupied homes. On a $429,900 ZIP-area median purchase, budget approximately $2,100–$3,000 per year depending on assessed value. One eastern Henderson note: long-held homes sometimes carry reduced assessed values — verify the post-sale reset with the Assessor before underwriting.
How is the commute from Highland Hills Ranch?
Eastern Henderson positioning puts Highland Hills Ranch on the I-515 / US-93 corridor, which connects north toward downtown Las Vegas and west toward Harry Reid International Airport. Per community records: the airport is roughly 15 minutes via I-515 West, the Strip about 22 minutes via I-515 to I-15, Green Valley Ranch about 15 minutes via Sunset Road, and the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve about five minutes via Moser Drive. Most daily-errand trips stay inside eastern Henderson without a freeway.
Is Highland Hills Ranch safe?
Yes. Highland Hills Ranch is served by the Henderson Police Department, and Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the United States in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. Eastern Henderson — including the 89015 ZIP — is a settled owner-occupied residential corridor. Incidents typical of eastern suburban Henderson focus on property matters rather than violent crime. Standard precautions — exterior lighting, locked vehicles, parcel management — cover the realistic risk picture.
What is the cost of living in Highland Hills Ranch?
Attainable by Henderson standards. The ZIP-area (89015) median list price of $435,000 sits meaningfully below Henderson's $548K citywide median, and HOA dues run $60–$150 monthly — lighter than most newer plans. Nevada's zero state income tax adds budget headroom, and the Clark County Assessor's 0.5–0.7% effective property-tax rate keeps annual ownership costs predictable. Day-to-day expenses — groceries, utilities, fuel — track the rest of Clark County, while eastern Henderson's Boulder Highway corridor and the Galleria at Sunset cover major retail and dining needs.
What is the rental market like in Highland Hills Ranch?
Steady and investor-friendly. Eastern Henderson carries consistent single-family rental demand supported by the employment base along I-515 — Harry Reid Airport workers, hospital staff at the St. Rose Dominican network, and city government employees. Entry prices from $380,000 and HOA dues as low as $60 monthly widen the rent-to-carry spread compared to newer master plans. The City of Henderson tightly regulates short-term rentals — read the rules before underwriting nightly income; long-term rental is the proved model here.
Is there new construction in Highland Hills Ranch?
Minimal — Highland Hills Ranch is essentially built out, with most of its 1,200+ homes completed between 1998 and the mid-2000s. Occasional resale opportunities surface, but buyers wanting new construction typically look at Cadence about 15 minutes west in eastern Henderson, where the LandWell Company and multiple national builders offer modern floor plans. Weigh new-build warranties and smart-home features against Highland Hills Ranch's established street trees, mature lots, and below-Henderson-median pricing.
What amenities does Highland Hills Ranch offer?
Everyday amenities lean outdoors and practical. The 140-acre Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve five minutes away via Moser Drive anchors the weekend outdoor calendar; Acacia Park's 18 acres add sports fields, playgrounds, and picnic shelters in-neighborhood. Boulder Highway's retail corridor puts grocery, dining, and services within ten minutes, and the Galleria at Sunset is a 15-minute drive. Henderson city services — police, fire, parks, and water — cover every Highland Hills Ranch street through the City of Henderson.
What should I know before buying in Highland Hills Ranch?
Four things move real money here. First, age: most homes date to 1998–2005, so roofs, HVAC systems, and water heaters may need attention — budget inspection contingency time. Second, school-zone confirmation: CCSD boundaries run block by block in eastern Henderson and shift periodically. Third, HOA section variance: dues range $60–$150 depending on the street. Fourth, tax resets: long-held eastern Henderson homes often carry abated assessed values that reset post-sale. An agent with ZIP-89015 closing history pays for itself on any of these four.
What down payment do you need to buy in Highland Hills Ranch?
Most buyers put down 5% to 20%. Conventional loans start at 3% down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5% — and most Highland Hills Ranch pricing from $380K to $550K falls comfortably under the FHA conforming limit. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. On the $429,900 ZIP-area median, plan roughly $21,500 (5%) to $85,980 (20%). Jumbo financing rarely applies in this community, which simplifies qualifying for most buyers.
What does an HOA cost in Highland Hills Ranch?
Highland Hills Ranch HOA dues run approximately $60 to $150 per month depending on the section — lighter than most newer Henderson master plans and most of the $429,900-median competition. Standard residential sections fall toward the $60–$100 band; sections with additional common-area maintenance reach $120–$150. There is no single master association billing every street uniformly. Always pull the resale package — dues, reserve-fund level, and CC&Rs — during your escrow period before funding.
How long does it take to close on a home in Highland Hills Ranch?
Most Highland Hills Ranch purchases close in 30 to 45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow, not attorneys. Cash purchases can close in 7–14 days. Budget extra time for HVAC and roof inspections on 1998–2005-era homes and for HOA resale-package delivery. Set clear contingency deadlines in your offer.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About Highland Hills Ranch?
These are the eight queries Highland Hills Ranch buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered in two or three sentences with specifics you can verify: community facts from the City of Henderson, prices from Las Vegas REALTORS, and school ratings from GreatSchools.
Is Highland Hills Ranch part of Las Vegas or Henderson?
Henderson. Highland Hills Ranch is an established residential community inside the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89015 — "Highland Hills Ranch" is the community name, not a separate municipality.
What ZIP code is Highland Hills Ranch in?
Highland Hills Ranch sits in ZIP 89015 in eastern Henderson. The ZIP covers a broader corridor including Old Town Henderson and the Boulder Highway strip — so market statistics labeled as 89015 are broader than Highland Hills Ranch itself.
Is Highland Hills Ranch guard-gated?
No — Highland Hills Ranch is an open residential community with no guard gate. Henderson Police Department patrols provide security coverage across the neighborhood, consistent with the city's top-tier safety rankings per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data.
How old are homes in Highland Hills Ranch?
Most homes were built between 1998 and the mid-2000s — plan inspections focused on roofs, HVAC, water heaters, and plumbing on properties that have not been updated. The oldest sections are approaching 30 years old, while some later Estates-section builds are closer to 20.
Does Highland Hills Ranch have a community pool?
Individual HOA sections may include limited community amenities — confirm what your specific section provides in the resale package during escrow. The Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve five minutes away and Acacia Park's sports fields and playground serve as the primary outdoor amenities for the broader community.
Is Highland Hills Ranch walkable?
By Las Vegas Valley standards, moderately: Acacia Park's walking paths, the Henderson trail system connection, and the Bird Preserve's nature trails give genuine pedestrian destinations. Day-to-day errands on Boulder Highway require a car, making Highland Hills Ranch fundamentally suburban in character.
How far is Highland Hills Ranch from the Strip?
About 15 miles — plan roughly 22 minutes via I-515 to I-15 northbound, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport is closer still, about 15 minutes west via I-515, making the airport employment corridor one of eastern Henderson's strongest practical advantages.
Is Highland Hills Ranch a good investment?
The investment fundamentals are solid: entry prices from $380,000, HOA dues as low as $60 monthly, steady Henderson rental demand supported by the airport and hospital corridors, and no new supply to dilute a built-out neighborhood. Returns still depend on condition, section, and buy price — call (702) 637-1759 for current rental comps.
