Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

Compare each school’s programs and published results for the same reporting year. Proximity to a school does not guarantee admission; contact charter, magnet and private schools about their application and enrollment requirements.
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 Foothills means single-family homes priced $550K–$1M inside the Southern Highlands master plan — Jack Nicklaus golf minutes away, 2,000-plus acres of parks, and Spring Mountain views. The community sits in Enterprise (ZIP 89141) per the City of Las Vegas, with I-15 delivering 15 minutes to the airport and 20 minutes to the Strip.
The Foothills is known for quality single-family construction inside the Southern Highlands master plan — access to a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse, 2,000-plus acres of parks, and elevated Spring Mountain views, all at a price point below the community's estate sections.
Young families and professional households who want master-plan resort amenities without paying estate prices, California relocators drawn by Nevada's zero income tax, and buyers who value I-15 access to the airport and Strip while living in a quieter, scenic southwest neighborhood.
Morning walks on Southern Highlands' trail network, evenings at the resort-style pool complex, weekend rounds on the Jack Nicklaus course, and a 15-minute run to the airport when work travel calls — with the visual backdrop of the Spring Mountains year-round.
The Foothills at Southern Highlands sits within the Southern Highlands master-planned community in the Enterprise area of southwest Las Vegas, ZIP 89141. The community is positioned along the I-15 corridor in the southern valley — elevated above the valley floor with Spring Mountain views.
Quick Answer
Yes — for families and professionals who want resort-quality master-plan amenities without paying estate prices. The Foothills delivers Jack Nicklaus golf, 2,000-plus acres of parks, a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse, and Spring Mountain views at $550K–$1M, with 15 minutes to the airport and 20 minutes to the Strip. The trade-offs are real — CCSD schools rate a notch below the valley's best, there's no staffed gate, and golf-club membership is a separate cost — but for buyers who prioritize lifestyle amenities over gated privacy, few addresses in this price range compete.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Clark County — the county that contains The Foothills — the county's median household income is $74,007 and median age is 38. Community records for the Southern Highlands area show a younger, more affluent profile: median age around 36, average household income above $85,000, and homeownership at 78%.
The Census does not break out individual Southern Highlands sub-neighborhoods, so county figures provide the statistical backdrop — presented honestly as exactly that. Within the Foothills, our closing data shows a mix of young professional families, California relocators trading coastal taxes for Nevada's zero, and move-up buyers stepping into the Southern Highlands master plan from the broader southwest valley.

POPULATION & GROWTH
Clark County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States for over a decade. According to U.S. Census data, the county added more than 300,000 residents between 2010 and 2024, and the southwest Enterprise corridor — home to Southern Highlands — has captured a disproportionate share of that growth as I-15-adjacent land developed.
Southern Highlands itself is a mature master plan but continues to absorb move-up buyers and California relocators as the southwest corridor expands. The I-15 spine keeps the community connected to both the airport and Henderson employment, making ZIP 89141 one of the sustained-demand pockets in the valley.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Open houses occur regularly in The Foothills — it's an active open-village section without gate restrictions, so access is straightforward.

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.

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 draws a professional, family-oriented workforce: executives, medical professionals, and remote workers who value the I-15 access to the Strip and airport employment cores. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market has remained historically strong, and community records put average household income in the Southern Highlands area above $85,000.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
The Foothills' I-15 adjacency is its commute superpower: the airport is 15 minutes north, the Strip is 20 minutes, and Henderson is 15 minutes east on I-215. Mean Las Vegas commutes run about 25 minutes per U.S. Census ACS data — most Foothills 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 Foothills closings complete in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers can close in 10–14 days. Budget extra time for HOA resale-package delivery — both the Southern Highlands master association and the Foothills sub-association must supply documents, and delays there are the most common timeline extender. Let our team track both packages from day one.
Quick Answer
Most buyers in the $550K–$900K range use conventional financing with 5–20% down; a $750,000 home requires roughly $37,500 (5%) to $150,000 (20%). Homes near $1M may push into jumbo territory with 20–25% down and additional reserves required. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans, and FHA is available at the lower end of the Foothills range — confirm the exact program and limit with your lender before writing your offer.
The Foothills at Southern Highlands FAQ — 18 Answers
The Foothills at Southern Highlands single-family homes run $550,000–$1,000,000 inside ZIP 89141, with the area median near $617,450 per Las Vegas REALTORS data and a 42-day median time on market. The Foothills is one of the more attainable entry points into Southern Highlands. Call (702) 637-1759 for current comps before you set your budget.
The Foothills itself is an open village section — not a guard-gated enclave — within the Southern Highlands master plan. Southern Highlands does contain dedicated 24-hour guard-gated sections, but the Foothills trades that staffed entry for a lower HOA load ($80–$200/mo) and slightly more attainable pricing. If gated access is a priority, our team can show you adjacent guarded sections in a comparable price band.
HOA fees typically run $80–$200 per month, combining the Southern Highlands master-association dues with the Foothills sub-association. That covers maintenance of the master plan's 2,000-plus acres of parks, trails, and open space. Golf-club membership and the 35,000-square-foot clubhouse amenities are governed by a separate membership structure — budget both before you offer.
The Foothills is zoned to Clark County School District campuses: Wright Elementary (7/10 per GreatSchools), Faiss Middle School (6/10), and Sierra Vista High School (6/10). Private options nearby include Bishop Gorman High School and Mountain View Christian; Doral Academy of Nevada and Pinecrest Academy are the leading charter alternatives. Always verify attendance zones for the exact address — CCSD boundaries update annually.
Southern Highlands Golf Club features a Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole championship course considered among Nevada's finest. The adjacent 35,000-square-foot clubhouse adds fine dining, a spa, fitness center, and a resort-style pool complex. Foothills homeowners are minutes from the first tee, though playing privileges require a separate membership — factor that cost into your full monthly budget alongside the HOA.
About 20 minutes via I-15 North. Harry Reid International Airport runs roughly 15 minutes north on I-15, Henderson is around 15 minutes east via I-215, and Summerlin is about 35 minutes via I-215 West. The I-15 adjacency is central to Southern Highlands' appeal for commuters and frequent flyers — time your own drive during peak hours before choosing your specific street.
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of a home's 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 $617,450 Foothills home, that means approximately $3,750–$5,250 per year — a fraction of the carrying cost on a comparable Southern California or Bay Area address.
Yes — the community draws a young professional and family profile, with a median age of about 36 and homeownership at 78% per community records. CCSD public schools (Wright, Faiss, Sierra Vista) serve the neighborhood, Bishop Gorman is a top private option, and Southern Highlands' parks and trail network give kids room to roam. The master plan's resort-style amenities are a genuine upgrade over standalone neighborhoods at the same price.
Three things stand out: the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, 2,000-plus acres of dedicated parks and open space, and an elevated southwest position with Spring Mountain views. Most Las Vegas master plans offer community pools; few add a Jack Nicklaus layout, a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse, and the visual backdrop of the Spring Mountains. Southern Highlands is also I-15-adjacent — unusual for a community this scenic.
Nevada levies no personal state income tax, while California's top marginal rate is 13.3% per the California Franchise Tax Board. A household earning $300,000 saves roughly $27,000 per year in state income taxes by relocating here. Add a Clark County property-tax rate of about 0.5–0.7% — capped at 3% annual growth under NRS 361.471 — and total ownership costs in the Foothills run well below a comparable Southern California address.
Active production builders continue to build within Southern Highlands broadly, though specific availability within the Foothills section itself shifts. Buyers wanting move-in-ready new construction with a Southern Highlands address should ask our team which sections currently have active builder inventory — incentives, lot selection, and pricing change monthly, so live data beats any static list.
The master plan includes 2,000-plus acres of parks and open space, miles of walking and biking trails, sports courts, and the Southern Highlands Park complex. Exploration Peak Park at 9700 S Buffalo Dr adds a summit trail, amphitheater, and sports courts. The Spring Mountains are visible to the west, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is roughly 35 minutes via I-215 West — all within a typical Saturday's range.
Southern Highlands and the southwest Enterprise corridor consistently track among the safer residential areas in the Las Vegas Valley — lower crime indices than the city average per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data. The Foothills itself is an open neighborhood without a staffed gate, so buyers should benchmark the specific streets they're targeting through current UCR-based tools and walk the block at different times of day before writing an offer.
On a $617,450 purchase with 10% down at a 7% rate (Freddie Mac PMMS), plan roughly $5,500–$6,000 per month including principal, interest, property taxes (0.6%), homeowners insurance, and $140 blended HOA. Add a golf-club membership if that's on your list — those run separately and vary by tier. Pull a personalized estimate at (702) 637-1759 before you set your offer ceiling.
Four priorities before you offer. First, HOA structure: request both the Southern Highlands master-association and Foothills sub-association resale packages — dues, reserves, and transfer fees. Second, golf membership: it is separate from the HOA; price it in. Third, financing: $550K–$1M spans conventional and jumbo territory — confirm your loan type early. Fourth, zone verification: CCSD attendance boundaries shift — verify the school zone for the exact address. Call (702) 637-1759 to start.
Most buyers in the $550K–$900K range use conventional financing with 5–20% down; a $617,450 home requires roughly $37,500 (5%) to $150,000 (20%). Homes near $1M may need a jumbo loan with 20–25% down and additional reserves. VA loans allow 0% down for eligible veterans, and FHA is available at the lower end of the price range — confirm the specific program with your lender before writing.
Most closings complete in 30–45 days through a Nevada escrow company; cash offers can close in 10–14 days. Budget an extra 3–5 business days for HOA resale-package review — both the master Southern Highlands association and the Foothills sub-association must deliver disclosure documents, and delays there can push the closing timeline. Let us coordinate the timeline from offer to funding.

These are the eight queries Foothills buyers actually 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.
Yes — Southern Highlands is consistently ranked among Las Vegas's premier master-planned communities. The Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, 35,000 sq ft clubhouse, 2,000-plus acres of parks, and Spring Mountain views set it apart. The Foothills is the community's open-village single-family tier, priced $550K–$1M, delivering the full Southern Highlands lifestyle at an attainable entry point.
Membership costs vary by tier and change over time — ask our team for the current schedule, as it is not publicly listed. Membership is separate from the HOA ($80–$200/mo) and adds a materially higher monthly and initiation cost. Budget both before you offer on a Foothills home where golf access is the primary draw.
The Foothills at Southern Highlands is in the Enterprise area of unincorporated Clark County, addressed as Las Vegas (ZIP 89141). It is not in the City of Henderson — though Henderson is about 15 minutes east via I-215. Mail and listings use a Las Vegas address.
Enterprise is one of the fastest-growing unincorporated communities in the United States — a southwest Las Vegas corridor that includes Southern Highlands, Mountains Edge, and other master-planned communities. It runs along I-15 south of the city, offering suburban family living with strong I-15 access to the Strip and airport, per U.S. Census and Clark County data.
Depending on which Foothills street you live on, the course is 5–10 minutes on foot or a 2-minute drive. The master plan is designed with golf-course integration throughout Southern Highlands — many Foothills streets border or sit adjacent to the course or its surrounding open-space corridors.
Southern Highlands Golf Club's 35,000 sq ft clubhouse includes a resort-style pool complex available to members. The master association also maintains community pools and recreation facilities across the broader Southern Highlands plan. Confirm which amenities are accessible without a separate golf membership when you review the resale package in escrow.
Streets that back to golf-course views or open-space corridors command the highest premiums and tend to move fastest. Call (702) 637-1759 and our team will pull current comps by street position — micro-location matters significantly in Southern Highlands, and the difference between a golf-view lot and a standard interior lot can be $50,000–$100,000.
Southern Highlands wins on airport access (15 min vs 25+ min from far Summerlin) and golf-course integration; Summerlin wins on school ratings, new-construction volume, and proximity to Red Rock Canyon. The Foothills price range ($550K–$1M) is competitive with Summerlin's non-guard-gated village tier. Both are premium master plans — the right choice depends on which commute direction and lifestyle priority matters most.

Every statistic on this page is sourced from a primary or government dataset, refreshed monthly. Because individual sub-neighborhood samples within Southern Highlands can be small, we present ZIP 89141 area statistics as area benchmarks — never as Foothills-only claims — and omit section-level medians where samples can't support them. 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).
