KEY TAKEAWAYS
Neo at MacDonald Highlands is a 2023-vintage enclave — roughly 80 homes on 40 acres inside MacDonald Highlands, backed by full City of Henderson services — and the 89012 ZIP area shows a $797,000 median list price and 26-day pace per Las Vegas REALTORS. The takeaways below cover the key facts.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: LVR, U.S. Census, City of Henderson
The 89012 ZIP area carried 326 active listings in September 2026 according to Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data — a market anchored by luxury and ultra-luxury properties including Neo's contemporary new construction from $2.34M to $4.97M. The newest listings appear below, refreshed daily, and every active home in the 89012 area is searchable in our live MLS portal.
PRICE DISTRIBUTION
Neo's plan price range of $2.34M–$4.97M sits well above the broader 89012 ZIP-area median of $797,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS September 2026 MLS data. Within Neo's 80-home footprint, pricing stratifies by lot orientation and elevation: entry-tier homesites anchor around $2.34M–$2.8M, mid-tier ridge and golf-view lots run $2.8M–$3.5M, and the Neo Summit ridgeline positions command $4M–$4.97M.
Neo's 80 homesites sort by view orientation, elevation tier, and proximity to DragonRidge. Each link opens our live Henderson MLS search, updated daily from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Filter by price, view tier, or lifestyle preference to narrow your shortlist before scheduling a gate-coordinated private showing.

STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET
Custom alerts by price tier, view orientation, and homesite type — no spam, unsubscribe anytime. Neo's 80-home footprint means new inventory events are infrequent but significant: a ridge-view homesite that hits the market rarely lasts a full week. Alert subscribers see listings within hours of MLS entry, ahead of the broader market, per Las Vegas REALTORS pace data.
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.

Neo at MacDonald Highlands delivers the valley's newest ultra-luxury living: brand-new contemporary desert homes on the McCullough Range ridgeline, double guard-gated security, panoramic Strip views, and DragonRidge Country Club access — all backed by full City of Henderson services and Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% primary-residence property-tax cap.
Neo is known as one of the newest and most contemporary luxury enclaves within MacDonald Highlands — a 2023-vintage community of roughly 80 homes delivering floor-to-ceiling glass, disappearing walls, smart-home technology, and panoramic Strip views at $2.34M–$4.97M.
Neo fits high-net-worth buyers who want brand-new construction over older resales, double guard-gated privacy, DragonRidge Country Club access, panoramic views, and the Henderson address — executives, professionals, remote-working principals, and luxury buyers relocating from California or out of state.
Mornings run the McCullough Hills Trail or tee off at DragonRidge, afternoons reach The District at Green Valley Ranch in ten minutes, and the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport are roughly 20–25 minutes down the I-215.
Neo sits within the MacDonald Highlands master-planned community on the McCullough Range ridgeline in Henderson, Nevada (ZIP 89012), roughly 10 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip. Approximately 40 acres at elevation, accessed via Horizon Ridge Parkway to Horizon Ridge Drive.
Quick Answer
Yes — for the buyer it is designed to serve. Neo delivers brand-new contemporary luxury construction with double guard-gated privacy, panoramic Las Vegas Strip views from the McCullough Range ridgeline, DragonRidge Country Club access, and Henderson's established city services — at $2.34M–$4.97M, substantially below what comparable new guard-gated ridgeline construction costs in California. The honest trade-offs: an 80-home enclave creates limited resale liquidity compared with larger Henderson plans; combined HOA dues run $400–$900 monthly; and buyers looking for established mature landscaping will find Neo's 2023-vintage desert palette less mature than older MacDonald Highlands sections. Nevada's zero state income tax and 3% property-tax cap improve every year of ownership.
Source: City of Henderson
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Henderson — the city that contains MacDonald Highlands — the parent city holds 331,857 residents with a median household income of $88,654. Community records place approximately 200 residents across Neo's roughly 80 homes, with average household incomes well above $400,000.
The Census does not break Neo or MacDonald Highlands out as separate places, so the figures below reflect Henderson citywide — presented honestly as the statistical backdrop. Inside Neo, our closing data shows a concentration of executives, technology principals, healthcare leaders, and high-net-worth relocators from California markets, drawn by the combination of brand-new luxury construction, double-gated privacy, and Nevada's zero state income tax.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Neo itself will be fully built out at approximately 80 homes — the ridgeline and master plan boundaries define a fixed supply ceiling. Its parent city, Henderson, has added roughly 74,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and that citywide growth keeps demand pressure on the valley's most constrained luxury addresses, including MacDonald Highlands and Neo.
Inside Neo, growth means phase completion, not expansion: the enclave is finite by design. Every new Henderson resident adds to the demand pool for the valley's most limited luxury addresses — and a ridgeline community delivering panoramic Strip views cannot be replicated at any price once the buildable lots are absorbed.

ULTRA-LUXURY MARKET
Market Competitiveness
ZIP 89012 averaged 26 median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS — brisk for a luxury-anchored corridor. Inside Neo, the 80-home enclave creates scarcity: ridge-view homesites draw multiple buyers, while less favored units may sit longer. Active builder phases also compete on monthly incentives that shift the effective price.
Neo is purpose-built for a specific profile: high-net-worth buyers who want brand-new construction, double guard-gated privacy, panoramic views, and DragonRidge access at $2.34M–$4.97M. Six personas below match lifestyles to Neo homesites, followed by honest pros and trade-offs our team covers before every first tour.

The highest-elevation homesites in Neo — unobstructed 270-degree views of the Strip, valley, and Spring Mountains. The most sought-after positions in the enclave; inventory at this tier is infrequent and individually negotiated.
Browse Neo Summit homes →Submarket 2
Ridge-front homes with direct valley and Strip views from primary living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glass maximizes the panoramic setting; slightly less elevation than Summit but comparable view quality.
Browse Neo Ridge homes →Submarket 3
Homes positioned above the DragonRidge fairways with direct golf-course and McCullough Range views. A compelling combination for buyers who value course orientation alongside mountain scenery.
Browse Neo Terrace homes →Submarket 4
Canyon-rim lots with enhanced natural privacy and larger-than-average footprints. Mature desert landscaping and canyon views rather than Strip or golf orientation — preferred by buyers prioritizing seclusion.

Neo sits within ZIP 89012, and the MLS reports at ZIP level — so the table presents the 89012 corridor as a single area, broader than Neo itself.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Likely yes — Neo's double guard-gated security requires advance coordination for all tours. Our team pre-clears gate access and arranges private showings on short notice, or schedules model-home visits during active builder phases. With roughly 80 homes total, Neo inventory events are infrequent and rarely last a full weekend. Call (702) 637-1759 to book your tour.
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.

ECONOMY & JOBS
Neo buyers live in a private enclave while drawing on the broader Henderson economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains strong, and Henderson household incomes exceed the county median by roughly 20%. The Strip, healthcare anchored by St. Rose Dominican, and technology-sector growth sustain luxury demand in the 89012 corridor.

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
Horizon Ridge Parkway connects Neo to the I-215 beltway — linking Henderson to the Strip, airport, and valley grid. Mean Henderson commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data. The ridgeline drive adds a few minutes versus valley-floor addresses, but residents get a panoramic descent into Henderson on every return trip.

Quick Answer
Cash purchases in Neo typically close in 14–21 days. Jumbo-financed transactions run 30–45 days due to underwriting depth and luxury-tier appraisal complexity. Nevada closes through escrow companies. For active builder phases, completed inventory can close in 30 days; semi-custom builds may take 6–12 months. Dual-HOA resale-package delivery adds 3–5 business days to any escrow.
Quick Answer
At Neo's $2.34M–$4.97M price range, buyers are in jumbo financing territory. Most lenders require 20%–30% down at this tier — on a $3.5M purchase, plan $700,000–$1,050,000 down. Cash purchases are common and close faster. Private bank and wealth-management financing options can accommodate non-traditional structures for high-net-worth buyers. Your Nevada Real Estate Group agent can connect you with Henderson luxury lenders who have existing relationships with the MacDonald Highlands community.
Neo at MacDonald Highlands FAQ — 18 Answers
Homes in Neo range from approximately $2.34 million to $4.97 million based on community records for this 2023-vintage enclave. Residences run 3,500 to 6,000-plus square feet of contemporary desert architecture with floor-to-ceiling glass, disappearing wall systems, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and full smart-home packages — pricing reflects both the ridge-view premiums and the brand-new-construction premium over older MacDonald Highlands resales.
Yes — Neo uses a double-gated configuration. Residents first clear the main MacDonald Highlands 24-hour staffed guard gate, then pass through a second controlled access point dedicated to Neo. This layered approach gives Neo one of the highest physical security standards in the Henderson luxury market, with perimeter walls, security patrols, and a visitor call-in system backed by around-the-clock gate staffing.
Neo sits in ZIP code 89012 in Henderson, Nevada, within the MacDonald Highlands master plan. The broader ZIP-area (89012) carried 326 active listings at a $797,000 median list price and a 37-day median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS — that figure reflects the full ZIP including neighboring Henderson communities, not Neo specifically.
Yes. As residents of the MacDonald Highlands master plan, Neo homeowners are eligible for membership at DragonRidge Country Club — the Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole championship course widely considered one of the finest private clubs in Nevada. The DragonRidge clubhouse also offers fine dining, resort-style pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a fitness center. Club membership is available separately from homeownership and is not mandatory.
HOA dues in Neo typically run $400–$900 per month, covering the MacDonald Highlands master association fee and the Neo sub-association fee. Combined dues fund 24-hour guard gate staffing, security patrols, perimeter-wall maintenance, common-area landscaping, and the shared amenity infrastructure inside the gated community. Confirm the exact split, transfer fees, reserve-fund status, and CC&Rs in escrow before closing.
Neo is served by Clark County School District campuses including John C. Vanderburg Elementary (8/10 on GreatSchools), Del E. Webb Middle School (7/10), and Coronado High School per CCSD zoning. Private options nearby include Henderson International School (PreK–12) and Bishop Gorman High School — the top-rated private high school in Nevada. Charter alternatives include Doral Academy of Nevada (9/10) and Somerset Academy (8/10). Verify exact zone boundaries for your specific homesite before offering.
Neo is one of the newest enclaves in the MacDonald Highlands community, with home deliveries beginning in 2023. Construction continues in phases through 2026. All Neo residences carry current building-code compliance, modern energy efficiency, the latest seismic and insulation standards, and full builder warranties — a meaningful advantage over the older MacDonald Highlands resale stock dating to the early 2000s.
Neo occupies the middle tier of the MacDonald Highlands price ladder at $2.34M–$4.97M. Entry-level SkyVu homes start from roughly $800,000; Dragon Rock, the ultra-luxury double-gated Blue Heron enclave, starts above $5 million and reaches $15M+. Neo's distinction is brand-new construction with contemporary desert architecture — older MacDonald Highlands sections offer established landscaping and sometimes larger lots but 2000s-era design rather than the floor-to-ceiling glass and disappearing walls that define Neo.
The McCullough Hills Trail system begins at a trailhead within minutes of Neo — roughly 1,500 acres of desert hiking and mountain biking with panoramic ridge-top overlooks. DragonRidge's 18 holes and the resort pool complex sit inside the master plan. Anthem Hills Park adds a playground, basketball courts, and open turf about ten minutes south. Lake Mead National Recreation Area is roughly 30 minutes east for boating and shoreline hiking.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs 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 $3.5 million home, plan roughly $17,500–$24,500 per year at time of purchase, subject to the post-sale reassessment. Long-held Henderson homes often carry reduced tax bills — always verify the reset with the Assessor before budgeting. Nevada levies zero state income tax, amplifying the carrying-cost advantage.
The Strip is roughly 20 minutes from Neo via Horizon Ridge Parkway to the I-215 beltway west to I-15 north. Harry Reid International Airport runs about 25 minutes the same route. The District at Green Valley Ranch — the valley's premier open-air retail and dining destination — is roughly 10 minutes via Horizon Ridge Parkway. Henderson Executive Airport, used by private aviation, sits about 15 minutes away via Bicentennial Parkway.
The structural case for luxury guard-gated holdings in Henderson rests on constrained supply: Neo will have approximately 80 homes at full build-out, and the broader MacDonald Highlands community cannot expand beyond its ridgeline footprint. According to Las Vegas REALTORS data, the 89012 ZIP area carried a $797,000 median list price in September 2026 with a 26-day median days on market — both indicative of sustained demand at the top of the Henderson market. As with any luxury purchase, returns depend on the specific homesite, buy price, and hold period.
DragonRidge Country Club membership is available to MacDonald Highlands residents including Neo homeowners, but it is not automatic or included in the HOA. Membership categories typically span full golf, social, and fitness tiers at varying initiation fees and monthly dues — fees and availability are set by the Club and change periodically. Nevada Real Estate Group can connect Neo buyers with current membership information and introduce them to the Club during the purchase process.
Four points matter most at the Neo price point. First, the HOA dual-layer: the MacDonald Highlands master association and the Neo sub-association each bill separately — confirm the combined total and the reserve-fund health. Second, Club membership is optional but heavily used by residents; factor it in your budget. Third, ridge-view lots carry meaningful premiums over canyon-facing and park-adjacent homesites — the view orientation drives much of the value delta inside the community. Fourth, jumbo financing requires full underwriting at these price levels; get pre-approved before requesting gate access for showings.
The rental market for Neo-caliber homes is thin but active: ultra-luxury rentals in Henderson's guard-gated communities typically target corporate relocators, executives, and professional athletes who want the MacDonald Highlands address before committing to a purchase. Per Las Vegas REALTORS tracking, luxury rentals at the $2M+ level in Henderson are individually negotiated rather than commoditized, with typical lease terms of 12–24 months. Short-term and vacation rentals are tightly regulated by the City of Henderson — confirm allowable use before underwriting rental income.
At Neo's $2.34M–$4.97M price range, buyers are in jumbo financing territory — conventional conforming loan limits end at $806,500 in Clark County for 2026. Most Neo buyers put down 20%–30%: on a $3.5M purchase, plan roughly $700,000–$1,050,000 down. Cash transactions are common at this level and close faster. Private lenders and wealth-management portfolios also support non-traditional structures. Your agent can coordinate with lenders who specialize in Henderson luxury and guard-gated properties.
Cash purchases in Neo typically close in 14–21 days. Jumbo-financed transactions generally take 30–45 days due to additional underwriting layers, appraisal complexity at the luxury tier, and HOA resale-package delivery requirements. Nevada closes through escrow companies rather than attorneys. For active phases of new construction, the builder's contract timeline governs — delivery dates can range from 30 days for completed inventory to 6–12 months for spec or semi-custom builds.
Neo's security layers include: the MacDonald Highlands main 24-hour staffed guard gate, a second Neo-dedicated controlled access point, perimeter masonry walls, security patrol routes inside the community, and surveillance at entry points. Individual homes typically add their own smart-security systems — cameras, smart locks, and monitored alarm packages come standard or as builder upgrades. The layered configuration gives Neo residents one of the most comprehensive physical security environments in Henderson.

These are the questions Neo buyers ask most often — each answered with verifiable specifics: community facts from the City of Henderson, current prices from Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data, school ratings from GreatSchools, and tax figures from the Clark County Assessor and Nevada Revised Statutes.
Henderson. Neo sits within the MacDonald Highlands master plan inside the City of Henderson, with Henderson police, fire, water, and city services. Mailing addresses say Henderson, NV 89012 — "Neo at MacDonald Highlands" is the enclave name, not a separate municipality.
Neo is in ZIP code 89012 in Henderson, Nevada. The broader 89012 market carried 326 active listings at a $797,000 median list price per Las Vegas REALTORS — Neo's $2.34M–$4.97M plan pricing sits well above that ZIP-area median, reflecting the ridgeline new-construction premium.
No — Dragon Rock is a separate ultra-luxury double-gated enclave within MacDonald Highlands developed by Blue Heron, starting above $5M and reaching $15M+. Neo is William Lyon Homes and Taylor Morrison's 2023-vintage contemporary enclave at $2.34M–$4.97M. Both sit within the broader MacDonald Highlands master plan and benefit from DragonRidge Country Club access.
Neo deliveries began in 2023 — making it one of the newest luxury enclaves in any Henderson community. All homes carry current building-code compliance, modern energy efficiency, and full builder warranties. This is Neo's primary advantage over older MacDonald Highlands resale sections, which date to the early 2000s.
Not within the master plan — MacDonald Highlands is a residential community built around DragonRidge Country Club, not gaming. The nearest major casino is Green Valley Ranch Resort, about ten minutes north. The Strip's full gaming corridor is roughly 20 minutes via I-215.
Within the master plan, yes — DragonRidge's clubhouse and some community amenities are within walking or golf-cart distance for residents on certain homesites. For daily errands, Neo is drive-dependent: Horizon Ridge Parkway's retail corridor is ten minutes, and Henderson's broader grid requires a vehicle.
Roughly 20 minutes via Horizon Ridge Parkway to the I-215 beltway west to I-15 north, depending on time of day. Harry Reid International Airport is about 25 minutes the same route. Henderson Executive Airport — used by private aviation — is closer, at roughly 15 minutes via Bicentennial Parkway.
The structural case rests on constrained supply: approximately 80 homes at full build-out on a fixed ridgeline, within Nevada's zero-income-tax environment, in the fastest-growing large city in the United States per U.S. Census data. The 89012 ZIP area ran a 26-day median days on market per Las Vegas REALTORS in September 2026 — demonstrating continued luxury demand. Returns depend on the specific homesite, buy price, and hold period.
