Custom alerts for guard-gated MacDonald Highlands listings by price, beds, and view tier — no spam, unsubscribe anytime.

Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

CRIME DATA
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

SoHo at MacDonald Highlands delivers guard-gated modern luxury inside Henderson's most prestigious master plan: 2019 William Lyon Homes construction, valley panoramas from McCullough Range elevation, DragonRidge Country Club golf, and City of Henderson services across every street — with Nevada's zero state income tax making the carrying costs sharper than any comparable California address.
SoHo is known as one of the newer modern-luxury guard-gated enclaves inside MacDonald Highlands — the William Lyon Homes 2019 build-out that brought contemporary architecture, open floor plans, and valley-view positioning to a price range ($500K–$900K) more accessible than the broader MacDonald Highlands luxury tier.
It fits move-up luxury buyers graduating from non-gated Henderson, California relocators seeking a guard-gated modern address at Nevada prices, golf-lifestyle buyers who want DragonRidge access, dual-income professionals wanting privacy and a 20-minute airport commute, and investors targeting high-end long-term rentals.
Mornings run along MacDonald Highlands trails with valley views, afternoons may include a round at DragonRidge, and errands tap Henderson's commercial corridor — the Galleria at Sunset about 15 minutes north, St. Rose Dominican Hospital about 12 minutes on local roads, and the Strip roughly 25 minutes via I-215.
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands sits inside the MacDonald Highlands master community along the McCullough Range in southeastern Henderson, ZIP 89012. About 20 acres. Roughly 15 miles from the Las Vegas Strip via I-215 and I-15.
Quick Answer
Yes — for the buyer who values guard-gated privacy, modern 2019 construction, and dramatic valley views in a prestigious Henderson master plan without crossing into the $1M+ territory that dominates the rest of MacDonald Highlands. The honest trade-offs: dual HOA layers need careful budgeting, DragonRidge membership is a separate cost if you want the full amenity package, and the southeastern Henderson location adds 5–10 minutes to most Strip-side commutes versus more central Henderson addresses. Nevada's zero state income tax and the 3% property-tax cap make every dollar go further.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains SoHo — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records put the SoHo enclave at 100-plus households with an average income above $175,000 and homeownership above 88%.
The Census does not break SoHo out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented as the statistical backdrop. Inside the enclave, our closing data shows a blend of move-up Henderson buyers upgrading to their first guard-gated address, California relocators drawn by the Nevada tax environment, golf-lifestyle buyers pursuing DragonRidge access, and senior executives who want privacy without the maintenance of a larger estate.

POPULATION & GROWTH
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands is a fully built-out enclave — its 100-plus homes are all William Lyon Homes 2019 construction, and no additional phases are planned. Meanwhile the parent city compounds steadily: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on fixed guard-gated inventory like SoHo.
For guard-gated enclaves like SoHo, growth means one thing: demand for a fixed supply. The 100-plus homes cannot be expanded, and every new Henderson household that aspires to a gated modern luxury address with DragonRidge golf access adds to the buyer pool without adding to the inventory. That structural scarcity supports long-term value better than a master plan with phases still coming out of the ground.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Guard-gated open houses need advance gate-access coordination—you cannot drive up unannounced. Active SoHo listings are rare (100-plus homes total). Set alerts for new listings, browse 89012 luxury options, or call (702) 637-1759 and our team will schedule gate access and tour every available home.
Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.
Explore relocation planningRELOCATION TIMELINE
Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.
ECONOMY & JOBS
SoHo residents benefit from the broader Henderson and Las Vegas Valley economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the metro labor market remains historically strong, and Henderson household incomes run well above the Clark County median. Healthcare, hospitality, technology, and professional services are the primary employment drivers within commuting range.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
The I-215 beltway reaches SoHo via the Stephanie Street and Eastern Avenue corridors, putting the airport 20 minutes away and the Strip 25. Mean Henderson commutes run near 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — SoHo's southeastern position adds a few minutes versus more central Henderson addresses but stays well below coastal-metro commute times most relocators leave behind.
Drive times based on average non-rush-hour conditions. Sources: Google Maps traffic data, RTC of Southern Nevada.
Quick Answer
Most SoHo closings take 30–45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes via escrow, not attorneys. SoHo's dual HOA layers (enclave + master) add a few days for resale-package delivery before close-of-escrow. Cash closings run 10–14 days. Even 2019 construction warrants thorough inspection; factor response time into your timeline.
Quick Answer
Most SoHo buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional financing starts at 5% down for qualified buyers; VA allows 0% for eligible veterans. On a $700,000 mid-range purchase, plan roughly $70,000 (10%) to $175,000 (25%). Jumbo financing kicks in above $806,500 — homes near or above that threshold need a jumbo lender experienced in guard-gated luxury transactions.

SoHo at MacDonald Highlands FAQ — 18 Answers
Ask for a current property-specific MLS report before relying on a neighborhood price summary. Confirm whether it measures asking or closed-sale prices, the boundaries and period, and the number of homes included. Compare homes of a similar type and size; a broader ZIP statistic may not represent this community.
Yes. SoHo at MacDonald Highlands operates behind a staffed guard gate as part of the broader MacDonald Highlands master community. Entry requires coordinated gate access for every showing — Nevada Real Estate Group arranges this for every appointment. The layered security, elevated McCullough Range setting, and DragonRidge Country Club access combine to make the enclave one of the most private addresses in Henderson at the $500K–$900K price tier.
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands sits in ZIP code 89012 in Henderson, Nevada — the same ZIP that covers MacDonald Highlands, MacDonald Ranch, and a corridor of southeastern Henderson. The 89012 ZIP area carried 326 active listings at a $797,000 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS data in September 2026, though SoHo itself ranges $500K–$900K. The Las Vegas Strip is about 25 minutes via I-215 and I-15; Harry Reid International Airport runs about 20.
HOA dues in SoHo at MacDonald Highlands typically run $200–$450 per month, covering the guard gate, common-area maintenance, and landscape upkeep. MacDonald Highlands adds a master-association layer on top of the enclave-level dues, so the all-in monthly obligation may be higher than the sub-association figure alone. Request the full resale package — both the SoHo and MacDonald Highlands master HOA disclosures, current reserves, and any pending assessments — early in escrow. DragonRidge Country Club membership is priced separately.
Clark County School District zoned options for the 89012 corridor include Vanderburg Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (8/10), and Coronado High School (7/10 zoned, with 9/10-rated Pinecrest Academy and Doral Academy charter alternatives nearby). Private options include Bishop Gorman High School and Henderson International School, both within 15 minutes. Always confirm the exact zoned campus for a specific SoHo address with CCSD before writing an offer — assignments can shift between school years.
Plan on roughly 25 minutes from SoHo at MacDonald Highlands to the Las Vegas Strip via I-215 west to I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 20 minutes via I-215. Downtown Henderson is about 15 minutes on local roads. Summerlin is roughly 30 minutes on the I-215 beltway. The southeastern Henderson location gives residents valley access without Strip-adjacent congestion — test the commute at your actual peak hour before committing.
Yes. Henderson consistently ranks among the safest large U.S. cities in comparisons built on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. The city funds its police and fire departments well above national per-capita norms, and the Henderson Police Department covers MacDonald Highlands including SoHo. Inside a guard-gated enclave with staffed entry, the realistic risk picture narrows further to standard property precautions. Safety is one of the primary reasons relocation buyers target Henderson over other Las Vegas Valley cities.
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands offers guard-gated scarcity inside one of Henderson's most prestigious master plans at a relatively accessible $500K–$900K entry — below the broader MacDonald Highlands luxury tier that pushes well past $1M. Only 100-plus homes exist in the enclave, limiting supply. Nevada's zero state income tax and roughly 0.5–0.75% effective property tax rate with a 3% primary-residence annual cap keep carrying costs predictable. Call Nevada Real Estate Group at (702) 637-1759 for a community-specific valuation before committing.
SoHo's $500K–$900K price range sits below the broader MacDonald Highlands luxury tier while maintaining guard-gated amenities. Nevada's zero state income tax, effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% per the Clark County Assessor, and the 3% primary-residence cap under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 make carrying costs more predictable than comparable California guard-gated addresses. HOA runs $200–$450 per month at the enclave level, with MacDonald Highlands master dues on top. Day-to-day costs track the rest of Henderson.
SoHo residents sit inside MacDonald Highlands, home to DragonRidge Country Club — a private 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature golf course with full clubhouse, dining, spa, fitness center, and pool. The McCullough Range elevation delivers panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley and Spring Mountains. Henderson's broader amenity network — Acacia Park, Paseo Verde Park, Heritage Park, the Galleria corridor, and St. Rose Dominican Hospital — sits within 10–20 minutes on the I-215 beltway.
Property taxes in Henderson run at roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $700,000 SoHo purchase, budget approximately $3,500–$4,900 per year. One note common in established guard-gated communities: long-held homes can carry abated tax bills well below their sale price — verify the post-sale assessed-value reset with the Clark County Assessor before finalizing your annual carrying-cost budget.
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands was developed by William Lyon Homes, which established the enclave in 2019 across roughly 20 acres. William Lyon Homes is known for contemporary architecture, elevated finish levels, and efficient floor plans designed to maximize views and indoor-outdoor flow. The 100-plus homes are all resale now — no new-construction pipeline remains inside SoHo. Buyers seeking new construction within the MacDonald Highlands master plan should inquire about current availability at the community level.
Guard-gated Henderson luxury rentals in the 89012 ZIP corridor typically rent for $3,500–$6,000 per month for single-family homes, with premiums for valley views and golf-course proximity. The City of Henderson strictly regulates short-term rentals — read the current rules before underwriting any nightly income strategy. Long-term leases in guard-gated communities attract professional tenants who value privacy and security, and tenant turnover in owner-heavy luxury enclaves like SoHo runs well below the broader Henderson average.
Thin inventory drives the competition: with only 100-plus homes in the enclave, well-priced listings attract serious buyers quickly, and market time depends more on list-price discipline than neighborhood conditions. The broader 89012 ZIP area ran a 26-day median per Las Vegas REALTORS data in September 2026 across 326 active listings — a brisk pace that reflects the southeastern Henderson luxury market overall. Inside SoHo specifically, buyers should be ready to move fast on any listing with strong views and current upgrades.
Four things move real money here. First, dual HOA layers: SoHo carries both an enclave sub-association ($200–$450/mo) and the MacDonald Highlands master HOA — confirm both sets of dues, reserves, CC&Rs, and any pending assessments in escrow. Second, gate access: every showing requires pre-coordination, so work with an agent experienced in MacDonald Highlands protocol. Third, view premium: lot position and view orientation drive meaningful price spread within the $500K–$900K band. Fourth, DragonRidge: club membership is separate and optional — clarify the current membership tiers and initiation fees early.
Most SoHo buyers put down 10% to 25%. Conventional financing works across the $500K–$900K range; VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans. On a $700,000 mid-range purchase, plan roughly $70,000 (10%) to $175,000 (25%). Jumbo financing kicks in above the conforming loan limit — currently $806,500 for 2026 — so homes near or above that threshold need a jumbo lender. Nevada Real Estate Group works with lenders experienced in MacDonald Highlands guard-gated transactions.
Most SoHo purchases close in 30–45 days from accepted offer. Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Guard-gated communities add a few days for HOA resale-package delivery — both the SoHo sub-association and the MacDonald Highlands master HOA documents must arrive before the close-of-escrow deadline. Cash purchases can close in 10–14 days. Add inspection-response time for any home; even 2019 construction warrants a thorough systems review.
SoHo itself is a smaller guard-gated enclave within MacDonald Highlands — individual homes may have private pools, and the broader MacDonald Highlands community offers resort amenities including pool access through DragonRidge Country Club. Confirm exactly which shared amenities are included in your HOA dues versus which require a separate club membership before you finalize your budget. Most luxury buyers at this price point pursue club membership for the full amenity package.

Eight real queries SoHo buyers type into Google and AI assistants — answered with verifiable facts from City of Henderson, Las Vegas REALTORS, and GreatSchools ratings.
Henderson. SoHo at MacDonald Highlands is inside the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89012 — "MacDonald Highlands" and "SoHo" are the master-plan and enclave names, not separate municipalities.
ZIP code 89012 — the southeastern Henderson corridor covering MacDonald Highlands, MacDonald Ranch, and nearby communities. That ZIP carried 326 active listings at a $797,000 median in September 2026 per Las Vegas REALTORS, with SoHo itself ranging $500K–$900K within the broader corridor.
SoHo at MacDonald Highlands has 100-plus homes across approximately 20 acres, built by William Lyon Homes in 2019. No additional phases are planned — the enclave is fully built out. That fixed supply is a core part of the community's investment thesis.
Individual SoHo homes may have private pools — it varies by floor plan and lot. The broader MacDonald Highlands community offers pool and resort amenities through DragonRidge Country Club, which residents can join separately. Confirm which specific amenities are included in your HOA dues versus club membership during escrow.
DragonRidge Country Club is a private country club inside MacDonald Highlands featuring an Arnold Palmer Signature 18-hole golf course, full clubhouse, spa, fitness center, pool, and dining. It is the premier amenity of the MacDonald Highlands master plan. Membership is optional for SoHo residents but available — contact the club for current initiation fees and annual dues.
Yes — many SoHo lots on the upper portions of the McCullough Range elevation deliver panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley, including the Strip skyline. View orientation and lot position within the 20-acre enclave determine the specific sightlines; valley-facing lots command meaningful premiums within the $500K–$900K range.
No — MacDonald Highlands is the master plan; SoHo is one guard-gated enclave within it. The broader MacDonald Highlands community includes multiple enclaves at varying price tiers, including ultra-luxury custom estates that trade well above $3M. SoHo's $500K–$900K range makes it the most accessible entry point into the MacDonald Highlands address.
By Las Vegas standards, not substantially — it's a guard-gated luxury enclave designed for car-dependent living with in-plan trails for recreation. The McCullough Range walking paths provide genuine outdoor access, but daily errands require a vehicle. The trade is clear: you get privacy, views, and DragonRidge in exchange for car-first logistics.
