KEY TAKEAWAYS
South Shore is the guard-gated luxury pinnacle of Lake Las Vegas — ~400 homes on ~350 acres from $800K to $5M+. ZIP 89011 shows a $533,500 median and 40-day pace per City of Henderson; waterfront and hilltop estates trade well above that floor inside Las Vegas REALTORS-serviced Henderson. Takeaways below unpack the valley's only private-lakefront luxury community.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: LVR, U.S. Census, City of Henderson
ZIP 89011 carried 687 active listings in September 2026 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — South Shore's ~400 guard-gated homes occupy the premium end, waterfront estates from $800K and hilltop customs past $5M. Listings refresh daily below; every active South Shore home is searchable in our live MLS portal. Gate-coordinated showings arranged within 24 hours.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
South Shore's ~400 guard-gated homes span $800K entry villas to $5M+ waterfront estates per community records and Las Vegas REALTORS MLS activity. Water and golf proximity drive price almost entirely — Mediterranean villas away from the lake anchor the entry tier while lakefront lots with private dock rights command the steepest premiums. The bands below reflect NREG-modeled active-inventory distribution.
South Shore's ~400 homes divide into four position tiers — lakefront, golf-course, hilltop, and villa — with prices from $800K entry to $5M+ waterfront. Each link below opens our live Henderson MLS search, with inventory updated daily from Las Vegas REALTORS data for ZIP 89011.
South Shore's four position tiers differ sharply on price, views, and lifestyle — the cards below orient buyers before a gate-coordinated showing. Each links to the most relevant hub or live search for current inventory.

STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET
With only ~400 homes in the enclave, quality South Shore listings — especially waterfront with dock rights — surface infrequently and often sell off-market or quickly after listing. Custom alerts by position, price, and lake frontage mean you see new inventory within hours, not days. Set one up below or call (702) 637-1759 to be on our off-market notify list.
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.

South Shore offers the Las Vegas Valley's only private-lakefront resort lifestyle: 24-hour guard-gated security, a Jack Nicklaus golf club, a 320-acre private lake, and estate architecture from $800K to $5M+. City of Henderson covers Henderson services, Nevada's zero income tax improves every ownership calculation, and the Strip is 30 minutes via Lake Mead Parkway.
South Shore is known as the premier guard-gated luxury enclave within Lake Las Vegas — Henderson's private-lake resort community. It is the only community in the Las Vegas Valley offering direct lakefront living with a Jack Nicklaus championship golf club, waterfront estates with private docks, and a Mediterranean resort village at the doorstep.
South Shore fits luxury buyers who want irreplaceable scarcity: executives, retirees, and relocating professionals who value private-lake access, 24-hour gate security, golf-course living, and a full resort lifestyle without flying to it — at a price point roughly one-third of comparable California lakefront.
Mornings on the lake (kayak or paddleboard launch from the community marina or a private dock), afternoons on the SouthShore Golf Club course, evenings at the Village's lakefront restaurants — the Westin and Hilton resort properties are within walking distance, and Henderson City Center is 20 minutes for everyday errands.
South Shore occupies the southern bank of the 320-acre private Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada (ZIP 89011). About 350 guard-gated acres along the lake's south shore. Roughly 30 miles from the Strip via Lake Mead Parkway and I-215.
Quick Answer
For the right buyer — absolutely. South Shore delivers the Las Vegas Valley's only private-lakefront resort community: 24-hour guard-gated security, SouthShore Golf Club, a 320-acre lake for daily paddling and sailing, Mediterranean estate architecture from $800K to $5M+, and a Village with world-class dining and two resort hotels at the doorstep. The honest trade-offs are commute (30 minutes to the Strip, not 15), public high school ratings (Basic HS is 5/10 — private schools are the preferred path), and price range ($800K is the entry point). Nevada's zero state income tax and the 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 make the luxury carrying costs substantially lower than any comparable California setting.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Henderson holds 331,857 residents at a median household income of $88,654. Community records for South Shore estimate roughly 1,000 residents across ~400 households, a median age of 55, and average household income above $250,000.
The Census does not break South Shore out as its own place, so the figures below are Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside the gate, the resident profile skews considerably higher: retired executives and professionals, second-home buyers from California and the Pacific Northwest, active adults drawn by the golf and lake lifestyle, and full-time luxury buyers who relocated for Nevada's tax advantages.

POPULATION & GROWTH
South Shore itself is essentially built out at approximately 400 homes — the enclave reached its current footprint by the mid-2000s. Its parent city of Henderson continues compounding: Henderson has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on South Shore's fixed, irreplaceable inventory.
Inside South Shore, growth means turnover and appreciation pressure, not expansion: the ~400-home enclave cannot add supply, while Henderson's growth adds demand for the only private-lakefront luxury address in the valley. That structural scarcity is the investment logic that makes South Shore hold value through market cycles.

EXCLUSIVE MARKET
Market Competitiveness
South Shore is a patient, thin luxury market — ZIP 89011 averaged 40 median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS, and the ~400 guard-gated homes trade individually with longer negotiation windows. At $800K–$5M+, position — waterfront, golf-course, hilltop — drives each deal uniquely. Buyers who know their target tier still need to act decisively when the right listing surfaces.
South Shore is not for every luxury buyer — it is for a specific type who prizes a private lake, golf, and total resort immersion over urban proximity or school rankings. The profiles below match lifestyle priorities to South Shore's four position tiers, followed by the honest pros and trade-offs our team walks every client through before the first showing.

New Construction
South Shore was developed from 2003 by Lake Las Vegas Resort and is essentially built out at ~400 homes. Custom and semi-custom luxury builders established the Mediterranean architectural character. Occasional vacant lots — especially waterfront parcels — surface and require community architectural-review approval. MacDonald Highlands and Ascaya offer comparable new-construction options nearby.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Possibly — with ~400 total homes, open houses at South Shore are infrequent; most showings are private, gate-coordinated appointments arranged in advance. If a listing has a scheduled open house this weekend, it appears below. More commonly, our team books private showings with 24-hour notice. Call (702) 637-1759 — we coordinate gate access for every appointment.
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.

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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
South Shore sits at the intersection of Henderson's professional and resort economy. Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market is historically strong. Residents work in executive leadership, professional services, or casino management — or are retired — drawing on the Strip 30 minutes west and Henderson's commercial base 20 minutes away.

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
South Shore sits at Henderson's eastern edge — Lake Mead Parkway connects to I-215, the Strip, and Harry Reid Airport. Henderson commutes average 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data; South Shore adds roughly 10 minutes, so budget 30–35 minutes to the Strip or airport. Most residents accept the trade-off for the privacy and resort lifestyle without reservation.

Quick Answer
Cash purchases close in 7–14 days. Jumbo-financed South Shore closings typically run 30–45 days — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. Budget extra time for appraisal scheduling on waterfront homes (comps are thin), HOA resale-package delivery, and gate-access coordination for appraisers and inspectors. The listing agent handles gate logistics as standard practice.
Quick Answer
Most South Shore homes require jumbo financing — they start at $800K, above conventional conforming limits. Jumbo lenders typically require 20–30% down and strong cash reserves. On an $800K entry villa, budget $160,000–$240,000 down; on a $3M lakefront estate, $600,000–$900,000. Cash buyers close faster (7–14 days) and are common in this price bracket. Pre-approval or proof-of-funds is expected before gate access and showings are arranged — confirm your position before contacting an agent.
South Shore at Lake Las Vegas FAQ — 18 Answers
South Shore prices span $800,000 for Mediterranean entry villas to $5M+ for waterfront custom estates with private docks. The ~400 homes across ~350 guard-gated acres vary sharply by water position — lakefront lots with dock rights command the steepest premiums. Decide early whether direct water access is essential; it changes the comp set entirely and limits your candidates to a handful of listings at any time.
Yes. South Shore is the guard-gated luxury section of Lake Las Vegas, with a 24-hour staffed entry gate and perimeter security protecting the resort's most exclusive enclave. All showings require advance gate coordination through a licensed agent. Nevada Real Estate Group arranges access for every South Shore appointment — call (702) 637-1759 with a day's notice and your tour will be cleared.
SouthShore Golf Club — a Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole championship course — wraps along the lake's southern shoreline with water and mountain views on virtually every hole. Club amenities include fine dining, a resort-style pool, full-service spa, fitness center, and tennis and pickleball courts. Golf and social memberships are separate from the HOA; price club costs alongside the home if regular play is part of your plan.
Yes. The 320-acre private Lake Las Vegas is open to residents and resort guests for kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and electric-boat use; gas-powered motorized watercraft beyond electric boats are not permitted. Waterfront South Shore estates may include private docks — a meaningful value differentiator. If on-water living is central to your purchase, ask our team to flag dock-equipped listings the moment they surface.
South Shore sits in ZIP code 89011 in Henderson, Nevada, inside the Lake Las Vegas resort community. The broader 89011 ZIP area carried 687 active listings and a $533,500 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS in September 2026 — figures that reflect the entire ZIP, not South Shore's $800K–$5M+ plan range. The Strip and Harry Reid Airport are each about 30 minutes via Lake Mead Parkway and I-215.
Plan on $400 to $1,000 per month, covering the 24-hour guard gate, security patrols, the Lake Las Vegas master association, and applicable sub-association dues. SouthShore Golf Club membership is separate. Waterfront homes with dock rights can carry additional fees. Dues vary by sub-association — request the resale package early in Nevada's standard 30–45 day escrow and review reserves before contingencies expire.
Yes — many owners live at South Shore year-round. The Strip and airport each sit about 30 minutes out via Lake Mead Parkway and I-215, Henderson City Center is roughly 20 minutes west, and the lake, golf, and Village dining are at the doorstep. Test the specific commute pattern that matters to your household before closing; for most full-time owners the lakefront trade-off proves well worth it.
About 15 minutes east via Lake Mead Drive — 1.5 million acres of boating, fishing, hiking, swimming beaches, and scenic drives at one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. That is separate from the private 320-acre Lake Las Vegas at your doorstep. Owning at South Shore effectively gives you two bodies of water: the private lake for daily paddling and sailing, the national one for full-size boating weekends.
Residents receive access transponders or codes for automatic entry; guests are called in by the homeowner or added to a pre-approved list. Vendors and service providers follow the community's controlled-access policy. The gate is staffed 24 hours a day with security patrols inside. First-time visitors should expect a brief check-in; agents arrange showing access in advance as standard practice — it is routine, not a barrier.
Buyers enter South Shore only with a licensed agent who coordinates gate access in advance — there is no public drive-through or self-tour option. That discipline is part of what the HOA underwrites and what preserves the enclave's privacy and security standard. Nevada Real Estate Group handles all gate coordination for every showing — call (702) 637-1759 and we will have your access cleared before arrival.
South Shore layers a 24-hour staffed gate with controlled vehicle entry, perimeter walls, security patrols, and surveillance at entry points. At this tier, communities typically add emergency-response coordination and monitored access logs — confirm current protocols in the resale package during due diligence. This layered security posture is a primary driver of the $400–$1,000 monthly HOA and a structural component of South Shore's long-term value retention.
Occasionally. South Shore is largely built out at roughly 400 homes, so vacant custom lots — especially waterfront parcels — surface infrequently and are subject to community architectural review guidelines. When they do appear, lakefront lots command significant premiums over interior positions. Nevada Real Estate Group can identify current lot inventory, walk you through design-review requirements, and connect you with qualified builders — share your priorities at (702) 637-1759.
Guard-gated luxury communities have historically outperformed broader markets in value retention, and South Shore adds an irreplaceable factor: there is no other private-lakefront luxury community in the Las Vegas Valley. Limited supply creates structural price support, Nevada's zero state income tax improves hold math, and the 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 keeps carrying costs predictable. Ask our team for South Shore's actual resale history before modeling appreciation.

Verify exact zoning for any address with CCSD before offering.
The SouthShore Golf Club, the 320-acre private lake (kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing), the Lake Las Vegas Village with lakefront dining and retail, the Westin and Hilton resort properties, and easy access to Lake Mead National Recreation Area 15 minutes east. The Village hosts seasonal events, farmers markets, and live entertainment. Henderson City Center adds full urban amenities — hospitals, shopping, city services — about 20 minutes west.
Most South Shore purchases are cash or jumbo-financed — homes start at $800,000 and run past $5M, well above conventional conforming limits. Jumbo lenders typically require 20–30% down and strong reserves. On an $800,000 entry villa, plan $160,000–$240,000 down minimum. Cash buyers can close in 7–14 days; jumbo-financed buyers typically take 30–45 days. Pre-approval for jumbo credit should be in hand before requesting a showing — the gate process and sellers expect it.
On a $1.5M South Shore purchase with 25% down at 7% jumbo, principal and interest run roughly $7,960 monthly. Add property tax at approximately 0.6% of assessed value (Clark County Assessor), homeowners insurance, and HOA dues of $400–$1,000 monthly — total carrying cost typically lands $10,000–$12,500 per month at that price point before golf membership. Verify exact HOA sub-association dues in the resale package during escrow.
Cash purchases close in 7–14 days. Jumbo-financed South Shore closings typically run 30–45 days from accepted offer — Nevada closes through escrow companies, not attorneys. HOA resale-package delivery adds a few days; budget extra time for appraisal on custom or waterfront homes, where comparable sales are thin and appraisers may need additional scheduling. Gate-access coordination for appraisers and inspectors is handled through the listing agent.

Eight questions buyers search most — answered with sourced specifics: community facts from the City of Henderson, prices from community records and Las Vegas REALTORS, school ratings from GreatSchools, and tax figures from Nevada's Department of Taxation.
Yes. South Shore is the guard-gated luxury section of the Lake Las Vegas resort community in Henderson, Nevada. Lake Las Vegas is the broader resort development — multiple villages and neighborhoods at various price points surround the 320-acre private lake; South Shore is the most exclusive and most expensive segment, occupying the lake's southern bank.
ZIP 89011 in Henderson, Nevada. The same ZIP covers other Lake Las Vegas villages and adjacent Henderson communities, so ZIP-level statistics reflect a much broader market than South Shore's $800K–$5M+ guard-gated tier.
Entry Mediterranean villas start around $800,000; golf-course homes range from $1.2M–$2M; hilltop custom estates run $2M–$3.5M; direct lakefront estates with private docks go from $3M to $5M+. Water position is the dominant pricing variable.
The structural case is strong: irreplaceable private-lake supply in the only such community in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada's zero state income tax, the 3% primary-residence property-tax cap under NRS 361.471, and Henderson's continued population growth adding demand to fixed inventory. Individual returns depend on position, buy price, and hold period — ask our team for South Shore's actual resale history.
Swimming access in the 320-acre private lake varies by location and association rules — the lake is used primarily for kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and electric boat recreation. Resort-hotel pools (Westin, Hilton) are the primary swimming amenity for most residents. Lake Mead National Recreation Area, 15 minutes east, offers beach swimming at designated areas.
South Shore is inside the City of Henderson — Henderson's police, fire, and city services cover the area. Henderson City Center is about 20 minutes west, and the broader Henderson commercial corridor (Galleria, major healthcare) is 25 minutes via Lake Mead Parkway.
$400–$1,000 per month, covering the 24-hour guard gate, security patrols, master and sub-association fees, and common-area maintenance. SouthShore Golf Club membership is separate and priced additionally. Verify exact dues for any specific home in the resale package during escrow.
South Shore and the broader Lake Las Vegas are not age-restricted — residents of all ages live there, with a demographic skew toward active adults and retirees. For dedicated 55+ living in the Henderson area, Sun City Anthem (Del Webb) is about 20 minutes away — a major active-adult master plan with its own amenity campus.
