The Ridges

 

Known as the crown jewel of the illustrious Summerlin communities of Las Vegas, The Ridges is a guard-gated collection of neighborhoods nestled against the breathtaking foothills of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Known for its extravagant, contemporary desert designs, lavish houses, and an award-winning, 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, The Ridges was created from a desire to build one of the most prestigious residential communities in Vegas—a vision that’s come to life over the last few decades.

 

Residents can easily access the best of Las Vegas via the adjacent Bruce Woodbury Beltway, and The Ridges are conveniently close to everything you could need or want in the city. Central to the community is Club Ridges, which has its own host of conveniences and amenities to enjoy. Each neighborhood within The Ridges comes with its own unique vibe, style, and offers, though every neighborhood in the community shares at least one commonality: upscale luxury, right next to the town. 

 

Homes here average above one million dollars, with multimillion-dollar mansions and estates dominating the market. Buyers have their pick of views, including the magnificent scope of the golf course, the iridescent skyline of the Vegas Strip, or sensational mountain vistas. Additionally, the diverse neighborhoods can allow buyers to choose from multi-level custom homes with more than 10,000 square feet of living space, single-level luxury houses with casitas and desirable amenities, higher acreage estates meant to convey a spacious, private atmosphere, and semi-custom homes designed by some of the nation’s most renowned architects.

 

Whether you’re a retiree looking to settle into a luxe townhome and enjoy residing in one of the country’s premier golf communities, a family ready to buy an extraordinary swath of real estate with plenty of room, or just dreaming of living in a magnificent home in a prestigious neighborhood, The Ridges enables its residents to enjoy an active yet quiet lifestyle, replete with relaxation and contentment.

 

The Ridges are within ten minutes of some of Las Vegas’ premier shopping, dining, and entertainment districts, making it a breeze to fill up one’s day with excitement. Most notably, the urban center of Downtown Summerlin is just five minutes north and puts world-class retail right at your fingertips. Beloved for its conglomeration of designer shops, gourmet restaurants, and varying venues, Downtown Summerlin houses big brands such as Apple, Steve Madden, and lululemon athletica. 

 

Another nearby source of high-end fun, Red Rock Resort & Casino has unbeatable refined luxury along with a mecca of exquisite amenities. From the Sandbar Pool area that has private cabanas and three acres of desirable water features; to the luxury bowling-center-meets-bar, Red Rock Lanes; to the Regal Cinema, this casino is certainly the place to be.

 

After you’ve worked up an appetite, you can check out any one of the restaurants on-site and choose from an impressive culinary array that includes chophouse classics, the highest-quality sushi and sashimi, garden cocktails, earthy smokehouse BBQ, and more. Red Rock Resort & Casino also has several energetic bars to try, each themed in an innovative way to make every visit a spectacular memory. If you need even more variety, the nearby Suncoast Hotel & Casino is another excellent dining location. There, the cuisine runs the gamut from mouth-watering steaks to decadent desserts and adorable coffee shops. 

 

As with any golf community, the central appeal of The Ridges is Bear’s Best Golf Course. This remarkable 18-hole course was designed by Jack Nicklaus as a tribute to some of the favorite facets of his 270 designs worldwide, meaning that it’s the best of the best. Award-winning and frequently tiered in the top ten among golf courses in the state, Bear’s Best wins golfers of all skill levels over with its exhilarating vistas and immaculate fairways.

 

For those looking to step away from the manicured and adventure into the rugged beauty of the wild, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is right in The Ridges’ backyard. The arresting scenery of this conservation area can be enjoyed from the comfort of your car via the Red Rock Scenic Loop, which spans 13 miles and invites nature lovers to a leisurely drive through the hills. The park also has dozens of trails for hiking, each including its own unique vistas and challenges.
