West Las Vegas Valley, Clark County
The Ridges, Las Vegas
Summerlin's guard-gated luxury village
The Ridges is a guard-gated village within Summerlin known for custom and estate homes, elevated lots and desert views toward Red Rock Canyon. It is one of the most expensive residential areas in the Las Vegas Valley, with several distinct neighborhoods inside the gate and the Bear's Best Las Vegas golf course among its amenities.
History & Local Character
The village was developed as part of Summerlin's westward expansion, with custom-home neighborhoods released over several years. Its position against the Red Rock escarpment and its guarded entrances gave it a distinct identity within the community from the outset, and it has continued to add smaller enclaves of custom homes.
Neighborhoods & Communities
The Ridges sits in the western portion of Summerlin, adjacent to Red Rock Country Club and The Cliffs, within the master-planned community rather than in any incorporated city neighborhood. It contains several internal neighborhoods behind its gates.
Housing & Real Estate
Housing consists almost entirely of custom and semi-custom single-family homes on large lots, many with desert or mountain views. Prices are at the top of the valley market, and inventory is limited because few properties come up for sale.
Restaurants & Shopping
The village is residential and has no restaurants of its own. Dining is a short drive away at Downtown Summerlin, the Rampart corridor and the surrounding village centers.
Schools & Education
Students attend Clark County School District campuses serving Summerlin, with elementary and secondary schools within a short drive of the village gates.
Parks & Recreation
The village includes private and community open space and connects to the Summerlin trail network, with Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area immediately west and The Cliffs and Red Rock Country Club nearby.
Transportation & Accessibility
Access is through guarded entrances off the western Summerlin road network, connecting to Rampart Boulevard, Charleston Boulevard and the 215 Beltway. Driving is essentially the only practical way to reach the village.
Local Businesses
Businesses within the village are limited to community services and the golf club. The surrounding Summerlin area provides restaurants, medical offices, salons, contractors and professional services within a few minutes' drive.
