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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The Enclave at Southern Highlands sits within the Southern Highlands master plan in the Enterprise unincorporated community of Clark County, southwest Las Vegas — ZIP 89141. Positioned along the I-15 corridor near the 215 interchange, roughly 15 miles south of the Strip.
Quick Answer
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.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Enterprise CDP, the area surrounding The Enclave skews toward professional households. Community records show a median age near 42, average household income above $120,000, and approximately 78% owner-occupancy — established professionals and families drawn to Southern Highlands for its amenities and Nevada's zero-income-tax advantage.
The Census does not break the Enclave out as a separate place, so Enterprise CDP figures serve as the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the gates, our closing data shows a mix of California relocators, physicians and executives, young families targeting Bishop Gorman or Doral Academy, and move-up buyers trading open Southern Highlands village homes for the Enclave's guard-gated exclusivity.

POPULATION & GROWTH
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.
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.

Well-priced Enclave homes with strong golf adjacency move meaningfully faster than the ZIP-area average.
The Enclave isn't for everyone — it's a guard-gated golf-course community with layered HOA dues, a south-valley location, and school ratings that trail Summerlin.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Open houses in The Enclave are uncommon — the 24-hour guard gate means most sellers show by appointment only, with agent-coordinated gate clearance in advance. Set up instant alerts to be notified the moment an Enclave home schedules an open house, or browse active listings now and let us arrange private, gate-cleared showings at a time that works for you.
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
Southern Highlands residents skew professional — physicians, executives, and entrepreneurs commuting I-15 to the Strip and airport. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong; community records put Enclave household income above $120,000 — roughly 1.6 times the Clark County median — with 78% of households owner-occupied.

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
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.
Drive times based on average non-rush-hour conditions. Sources: Google Maps traffic data, RTC of Southern Nevada.
Quick Answer
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
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 — 18 Answers
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 $617,450 per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data. Call (702) 637-1759 for current pricing before you tour.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 361.471. 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.
Yes — Southern Highlands is one of the most family-oriented master-planned communities in the Las Vegas Valley. The Enclave's guard-gated streets have no through-traffic, the master plan's 2,000-plus acres include extensive parks and trails, and private-school options like Bishop Gorman are within practical range. Families zoned to Wright Elementary and Sierra Vista High have access to strong public campuses by south-valley standards. The community's median age of approximately 42 reflects that young families are well-represented alongside empty-nesters.
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.
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.
The Enclave layers security upon security: Clark County Sheriff coverage of the surrounding Enterprise unincorporated area, the Southern Highlands master-plan perimeter, and the Enclave's own 24-hour guard gate with roving patrols. Within the Enclave gates, typical incidents are minor property matters — not violent crime — consistent with guard-gated communities across the valley. Benchmark the surrounding Enterprise area through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, and ask for the association's security disclosures during your due-diligence window.
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 361.471, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
These are the queries Southern Highlands buyers most commonly type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the plan record.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Because The Enclave at Southern Highlands is a sub-section of the ZIP 89141 area, we deliberately present ZIP-area statistics as area benchmarks — never section-only claims — and omit section-level medians that small samples cannot support. Follow any link below to verify a figure.
Methodology: Listing data is sourced via Repliers IDX feed (Las Vegas MLS) and refreshed every 15 minutes. Demographic and economic data are pulled monthly via Census/BLS APIs. School data is refreshed quarterly. All comparisons are like-for-like (same metric, same time period).
