KEY TAKEAWAYS

What Should You Know About The Enclave at Southern Highlands at a Glance?

The Enclave at Southern Highlands is a guard-gated luxury enclave within the Southern Highlands master plan — homes priced $600K–$1.2M with a ZIP-area benchmark near $610K per NREG’s MLS analysis, 46 median days on market, and Enterprise CDP demographics per the U.S. Census. The five takeaways below unpack what makes this enclave distinct within Southern Highlands.

  • Guard-gated value tier: $600K–$1.2M entry into Southern Highlands' controlled-access sections, below the estate enclaves that exceed $2M.
  • Golf-course lifestyle: Jack Nicklaus Signature course and a 35,000 sq ft clubhouse are the master plan's anchor amenities — steps from Enclave homes.
  • Location: southwest Las Vegas / Enterprise, ZIP 89141 — 20 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes to Harry Reid Airport via I-15.
  • Best for: California relocators, professionals, and families who want guard-gated privacy, golf access, and Nevada's zero-income-tax advantage.
  • Do your homework: layered HOA dues ($150–$400/mo), golf membership as a separate cost, and school ratings that trail Summerlin's west-valley campuses.

School planning

Which Schools Serve a Las Vegas Address?

Ask the district for the address-specific school assignment for the enrollment year, since boundaries change, and confirm it before you buy. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; charter, magnet and private schools set their own rules. Check CCSD school zoning · Nevada Report Card

CRIME DATA

How Can You Check Reported Crime Near a Home?

Ask the law-enforcement agency that serves the address for its current reports, and compare places only across the same reporting period, boundary and offense definitions. Missing records do not mean zero crime, the FBI cautions against ranking communities on crime totals alone, and a citywide figure does not describe a particular street.

Living In

What's It Like Living in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?


The Answer

Living in The Enclave at Southern Highlands means a 24-hour guard gate, golf-course views, and premium construction within a 2,000-plus-acre master plan in southwest Las Vegas. Community services run through Clark County per City of Las Vegas, with Harry Reid Airport 15 minutes north via I-15 and the Strip 20 minutes away.

What is The Enclave at Southern Highlands known for?

The Enclave is known for its 24-hour guard gate, premium single-family construction priced $600K–$1.2M, and its position inside Southern Highlands — one of Las Vegas's most recognized master-planned communities, anchored by the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse.

Who should live in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

California relocators trading state income-tax bills for Nevada's zero rate, professionals who value an I-15 commute to the Strip and Airport, families seeking a guard-gated school zone, and buyers wanting golf-course proximity without the $2 million-plus estate-tier price point.

What is daily life like?

Morning walks on Southern Highlands' 2,000-plus acres of trails and parks, golf at the Jack Nicklaus Signature course, errands along the Southwest Las Vegas commercial corridor, and evenings 20 minutes from the Strip's dining, entertainment, and resort amenities.

Quick Answer

Is The Enclave at Southern Highlands a good place to live?

Yes — if guard-gated security, golf-course access, and a low-tax Nevada address top your priorities. The Enclave delivers a 24-hour staffed gate, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf steps away, 2,000-plus acres of Southern Highlands parks and trails, and an I-15 commute that puts Harry Reid Airport 15 minutes north and the Strip 20 minutes away. The honest trade-offs are layered HOA dues ($150–$400/mo), school ratings that trail Summerlin's west-valley campuses, and a 35-minute commute to Summerlin if that corridor matters to you. For buyers who value golf, privacy, and Nevada's tax math, few addresses in the $600K–$1.2M range compete.

POPULATION & GROWTH

How Fast Is the Southern Highlands Area Growing?

The Enterprise unincorporated community has been one of Clark County's fastest-growing areas for over a decade — fueled by master-planned development like Southern Highlands, Southern Highlands' own 2,000-plus-acre footprint, and I-15 corridor infrastructure. The Las Vegas metro overall has added roughly 50,000 residents since 2020 per U.S. Census counts, and the south valley's growth remains among the strongest.

85,081Enterprise CDP households (ACS 2020–24)

Enterprise CDP (Southwest Las Vegas) population trajectory, 2020–2024 (Census counts and ACS)

Southern Highlands itself is largely built to plan within its 2,000-plus acres, but continued growth in the surrounding Enterprise corridor keeps demand high for established master-planned addresses like The Enclave. New construction in adjacent southwest-valley communities (Rhodes Ranch, Mountains Edge) supplies move-up inventory, while the Enclave's guard-gated scarcity commands a premium over open-village alternatives.

Pros

  • Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ from July through September, like the rest of the valley

Planning a move

What Should I Verify Before Moving to The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Budget around the specific home, not a community average. Before you compare the cost of a move to The Enclave at Southern Highlands, get these in writing:

  • The parcel's current tax bill and abatement status from the county assessor — a tax cap is not automatic.
  • Lender, insurance and utility quotes for the exact address, plus the association's resale documents and any special assessments.
  • The school assignment for the enrollment year, confirmed with the district.
  • Your tax situation, reviewed by an adviser — California-source income can remain taxable after a move (Franchise Tax Board).

The full step-by-step relocation checklist, from timeline to first-week setup, is in one place.

COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION

How Easy Is Getting Around from The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

I-15 adjacency is the Enclave's logistical superpower: the freeway is minutes from the gate, putting the airport 15 minutes north, the Strip 20 minutes north, and Henderson 15 minutes east via I-215. Las Vegas metro mean commute times run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — and most Enclave destinations beat that comfortably.

Transportation Options

  • Driving

    The clear default, and exceptionally efficient: Southern Highlands Parkway feeds I-15 directly, putting the airport and Strip on a straight-shot freeway with no surface-street delays for most of the run.

  • RTC Transit

    Limited routes serve the broader southwest valley, but Southern Highlands is not designed for transit-dependent lifestyles — car ownership is essential here.

  • Cycling & Trails

    The master plan's 2,000-plus acres include dedicated bike paths and walking trails. Road cycling to Henderson via I-215 trails is possible; commute cycling is not practical for most destinations.

  • Rideshare

    Fast and reliable along the I-15 corridor; airport runs typically run $20–$35 from the Enclave gate. Gate-access protocols for pickup are handled the same way as any visitor clearance.

Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the route named; check live traffic before you rely on one.

Quick Answer

How long does it take to close on a home in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Most Enclave purchases close in 30–45 days; cash offers can close in 7–14 days. Budget 5–7 days for the dual HOA questionnaire (master and sub-association) and one business day for gate-clearance scheduling for inspectors and appraisers. Upper-Enclave jumbo files ($1M+) may need an extra appraisal day due to limited high-end comparables.

Quick Answer

What down payment do you need to buy in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Most Enclave buyers put down 10–20%. On a $700,000 entry home, 10% is $70,000 and 20% is $140,000 — conventional financing covers most of the $600K–$1.2M band cleanly. At the upper end of the Enclave range ($1M+), the conforming loan limit is relevant: loans above it go jumbo, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus 6–12 months of reserves. VA-eligible buyers can close at 0% down. Always include HOA dues in your pre-approval debt-to-income calculation so the math is accurate before you tour.

The Enclave at Southern Highlands FAQ — 16 Answers

What Do The Enclave at Southern Highlands Buyers Most Frequently Ask?

Most Asked

What is the median home price in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

The Enclave at Southern Highlands prices between $600,000 and $1.2 million per the community plan record — the guard-gated entry tier below Southern Highlands estate enclaves above $2 million. The broader ZIP 89141 benchmark sits near $609,900 per NREG’s MLS analysis MLS data. Call (702) 637-1759 for current pricing before you tour.

Is The Enclave at Southern Highlands guard-gated?

Yes — The Enclave operates a 24-hour guard gate with roving security patrols behind it, making it one of the controlled-access sections within the broader Southern Highlands master plan. Not every Southern Highlands section is gated; the Enclave's staffed entry is a defining premium over the community's open village neighborhoods. Every visitor is verified at the gate, so plan showings in advance — our team coordinates gate clearance with same-day notice in most cases.

What are HOA fees in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Budget $150–$400 per month, which layers the Southern Highlands master-association dues on top of the Enclave sub-association fees that fund the 24-hour guard gate and security patrols. Master-level dues support the community's 2,000-plus acres of parks, trails, and open space, along with the 35,000-square-foot clubhouse amenities. Request the full resale package in escrow — current dues, reserve study, and any pending assessments — before writing an offer so there are no surprises at closing.

What golf course is at Southern Highlands?

Southern Highlands Golf Club features a Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole championship course regarded as one of Nevada's finest private courses. Enclave residents live minutes from the course and the 35,000-square-foot clubhouse, which offers fine dining, a fitness center, spa, and a resort-style pool complex. Golf access is through separate membership rather than HOA inclusion — ask our agents how membership typically layers onto Enclave ownership costs so your budget math is complete before you tour.

How far is The Enclave at Southern Highlands from the Las Vegas Strip?

Approximately 20 minutes via I-15 North from the Enclave to the Strip. Harry Reid International Airport is about 15 minutes north via I-15 — one of the shortest airport commutes of any guard-gated luxury community in the valley. Henderson is roughly 15 minutes east via I-215, and Summerlin about 35 minutes west. Southern Highlands' I-15 adjacency puts the whole Las Vegas metro within practical reach in under 40 minutes.

What schools serve The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Clark County School District assigns Enclave addresses to Wright Elementary (7/10 per GreatSchools), Faiss Middle School (6/10), and Sierra Vista High School (6/10) — solid public options for this part of the southern valley. Private choices within reach include Bishop Gorman High School (A+), Mountain View Christian School, and Faith Lutheran Middle and High; charter campuses like Doral Academy of Nevada and Pinecrest Academy round out the menu. Verify current CCSD attendance zones for any specific address before submitting an offer, since boundaries can shift.

What are property taxes like in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Nevada runs one of the lowest effective property-tax regimes in the nation — roughly 0.5–0.75% of a home's assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, with annual increases on a primary residence capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.4723 once the owner claims it. On a $900,000 Enclave home, that translates to approximately $4,500–$6,750 annually — a small fraction of what a comparable guard-gated home carries in coastal California, where effective rates often exceed 1.1% with no statutory cap.

How does The Enclave compare to other guard-gated communities in Las Vegas?

The Enclave at Southern Highlands positions as the guard-gated entry within a master plan that includes the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse — amenities that communities like Rhodes Ranch carry at similar price points, but with Southern Highlands' scale advantage (2,000-plus acres). MacDonald Highlands in Henderson steps above it at $1.5 million-plus for estate buyers. The Ridges in Summerlin carries comparable guard-gated exclusivity but starts materially higher. The Enclave wins on value-per-amenity within the $600K–$1.2M bracket.

What is the rental and second-home market like in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

The Enclave skews heavily owner-occupied — community records indicate roughly 78% homeownership — so rental listings surface infrequently and executive leases command firm pricing when they do. Clark County short-term rental rules and the sub-association's CC&Rs also restrict vacation rentals; never underwrite short-term rental income on an Enclave purchase without reading both the current county rules and the association documents. Most investor interest here is long-hold: buy for scarcity and appreciation, not yield.

What is the Nevada vs. California tax advantage for Enclave buyers?

California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $35,000 annually in state income tax alone after moving to the Enclave. The Clark County Assessor's 0.5–0.75% effective property-tax rate, capped at 3% annually under NRS 361.4723, compounds the advantage — California homeowners at comparable price points routinely pay twice the effective rate with no statutory growth cap, making the Enclave a structurally less expensive long-term hold even before appreciation.

Is there new construction available in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Limited production-builder activity exists within the Southern Highlands master plan's newer sections, but The Enclave itself is largely built out — opportunities are primarily resale rather than new construction. Buyers wanting brand-new guard-gated product in this price band often cross-shop Cadence in Henderson or Summerlin West villages, where builders like Toll Brothers are actively selling. Call (702) 637-1759 and our agents will inventory the latest new-build options against Enclave resale comparables so you choose with full information.

What are the biggest trade-offs to know before buying in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Four items move real money in the Enclave. First, layered dues: the $150–$400 monthly HOA range reflects both master and sub-association charges — confirm exact figures in escrow. Second, golf membership: clubhouse access beyond community amenities requires a separate Southern Highlands Golf Club membership. Third, distance: at 20 minutes to the Strip and 35 minutes to Summerlin, location rewards buyers who value the I-15 corridor over the west valley. Fourth, school rating variance: public campuses here rate 6–7/10 versus 8–9/10 options in Summerlin.

What should I do first to buy a home in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Call (702) 637-1759 first — with a guard-gated community and a mix of master-plan and sub-association documents, the first practical step is a pre-approval that accounts for HOA dues in your debt-to-income ratio plus an agent who can coordinate gate clearance and pull the correct resale package. From there, a live search pre-filtered to ZIP 89141 and the $600K–$1.2M band surfaces every active Enclave listing; our agents match you to the right section, floor plan, and golf-adjacency tier before your first tour.

What down payment do you need to buy in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Most Enclave buyers put down 10–20%. On a $700,000 entry home, 10% is $70,000; on a $1.2 million upper Enclave home, 20% is $240,000. Conventional loans work through most of the price band — a $1.2 million purchase bumps against the conforming limit, so budget for a jumbo product with reserve requirements at the upper end. VA-eligible buyers can close at 0% down. Include HOA dues ($150–$400/mo) in your pre-approval so debt-to-income math is accurate before you tour.

How long does it take to close on a home in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Most Enclave purchases close in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 7–14 days; financed buyers should budget 35–45 days once the resale package (sub-association dues, reserves, CC&Rs) clears alongside the loan. Guard-gate access coordination for inspectors and appraisers adds a scheduling day or two but does not materially delay escrow. Factor in HOA questionnaire turnaround — typically 5–7 business days — when structuring your contingency timeline.

What Else Do People Ask About The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

These are the queries Southern Highlands buyers most commonly type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specifics you can verify: market figures from NREG’s MLS analysis, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the plan record.

Is The Enclave at Southern Highlands in Las Vegas or Henderson?

It's in unincorporated Clark County — the Enterprise community — which is legally neither Las Vegas nor Henderson, but sits along the I-15 corridor in the southwest valley. The postal address uses Las Vegas, NV 89141. Clark County Sheriff provides law enforcement, not Las Vegas Metro police.

What is the Southern Highlands Golf Club membership cost?

Membership at Southern Highlands Golf Club is separate from HOA dues and runs in the range of $10,000–$30,000 initiation plus monthly dues — figures change periodically, so contact the club directly for current pricing. Enclave ownership does not include automatic golf membership; it must be purchased independently alongside the home.

Can you see the Las Vegas Strip from Southern Highlands?

Yes — Southern Highlands' elevated position provides views of the Las Vegas Valley and, from some lots and elevations, the Strip's skyline. Mountain views toward the Spring Mountains are also a signature feature of the master plan, particularly from upper-tier section lots.

How does Southern Highlands compare to Summerlin?

Southern Highlands wins on Jack Nicklaus golf, airport proximity (15 min vs. 35 min from Summerlin's far west), and guard-gated entry pricing at $600K. Summerlin counters with stronger public school ratings (8–9/10 vs. 6–7/10), more new construction, and Howard Hughes Corporation's ongoing master-plan investment. Buyers choose by which priority ranks first.

Are there age restrictions in The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

No — The Enclave is an all-ages community. Southern Highlands overall skews toward families and professionals, with a median age near 42. For 55+ communities, Del Webb Sun City Anthem in Henderson is the south-valley alternative about 20 minutes east via I-215.

Is the Southern Highlands area flood-prone?

The southwest Las Vegas Valley has some wash-adjacent flood zones, but the Southern Highlands master plan and The Enclave specifically are engineered with modern drainage systems to mitigate typical desert-storm flooding. Verify any specific address's FEMA flood-zone designation at FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before closing — your lender will require flood insurance if it's in a Special Flood Hazard Area.

What is the drive from The Enclave to Allegiant Stadium?

Approximately 20–25 minutes via I-15 North to the stadium at Hacienda Avenue — the same I-15 that gives Enclave residents airport access also makes Allegiant Stadium for Raiders games, soccer, and concerts a straight-shot drive north without navigating surface streets.

How do I arrange a showing at The Enclave at Southern Highlands?

Call (702) 637-1759 or use our MLS search to find active listings. The Enclave requires gate clearance for all showings — our agents coordinate access with same-day notice in most cases. Out-of-state buyers can request a livestreamed virtual tour before flying in.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, refreshed regularly.
