The Ridges in Summerlin is the most exclusive guard-gated residential community in Las Vegas. Spanning 793 acres at the highest elevation in Summerlin, The Ridges features approximately 380 custom homes and homesites across 12+ individually gated enclaves, with prices ranging from $680,000 for luxury condos to over $20 million for custom ridge-top estates. The 2024 annual market data showed a median sold price of approximately $4.44 million, with an average price per square foot near $813. I'm Chris Nevada, leader of Nevada Real Estate Group – LPT Realty, the #1 real estate team in Nevada, and this is the definitive guide to buying in The Ridges.
What Makes The Ridges the Most Exclusive Community in Las Vegas
The Ridges sits at the western edge of Summerlin, directly adjacent to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area — arguably the most dramatic natural backdrop of any residential community in the Southwest. The 89135 zip code is to Las Vegas what 90210 is to Los Angeles: a shorthand for the pinnacle of luxury living.
What sets The Ridges apart from every other luxury community in the valley:
-
Double-gated security. Residents pass through the community's main guard gate, then a second private gate into their specific enclave. Many individual estates have a third gate at their driveway. This layered security model is unmatched in Las Vegas.
-
Red Rock Canyon views. Homes on the western ridgeline have unobstructed views of the canyon's red sandstone formations. Eastern-facing homes look out over the Las Vegas Strip and the entire valley. Some properties command both views simultaneously.
-
Architecture. The Ridges is defined by desert contemporary design — floor-to-ceiling glass, clean horizontal lines, natural stone and stucco, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. This is the architectural language that Blue Heron popularized, and The Ridges is where it lives at its highest expression.
-
Amara Golf Club (formerly Bear's Best). The Jack Nicklaus-designed course closed in June 2025 and is undergoing a $300 million renovation that will transform it into a private club with new clubhouse, restaurants, 15 luxury villas, and enhanced course design. This upgrade will significantly increase property values across The Ridges.
-
Club Ridges. The private residents-only club features a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool, spa, five lit tennis courts, and community center.
The 12 Guard-Gated Enclaves Inside The Ridges
Each enclave within The Ridges has its own character, lot sizes, and price band. Here is the enclave-by-enclave breakdown:
Azure
The crown jewel of The Ridges. Approximately 120 homesites with lots ranging from one-quarter acre to over one acre. Azure commands the highest prices in the community and regularly produces the valley's most expensive sales. In 2025, two of the top 10 luxury sales in all of Las Vegas were Azure properties: 68 Sun Glow Lane ($16 million) and 19 Flying Cloud Lane ($13.5 million). Azure homes feature sweeping views of Red Rock Canyon, the Strip, and the golf course. Expect prices from $5M to $20M+.
Promontory
The established luxury enclave known for grand-scale estates from 6,000 to 20,000+ square feet. Promontory has its own private park and walking paths. Several Promontory estates have traded above $10 million. Home to some of the community's most architecturally significant properties. Lots range from half an acre to over an acre.
Redhawk
Just over 80 custom homes on large lots (one-third to one full acre) with Strip and golf course views. Redhawk offers a slightly more accessible entry into custom Ridges living compared to Azure or Promontory, with prices typically from $3M to $8M.
Rimrock
An ultra-exclusive enclave of just 21 custom homesites with expansive lots and panoramic views. Rimrock's limited inventory and elevated position make it one of the most private settings in the community.
The Pointe
The most secluded enclave in The Ridges, with three separate security gates protecting just 12 custom homesites. Located at the highest elevation, The Pointe offers what many consider the best views in all of Las Vegas. Homes here rarely come to market.
Falcon Ridge
One of the newer enclaves, located adjacent to Club Ridges. Features recently constructed homes and remaining custom lots. Approximately 60 homesites with views of the Bear's Best/Amara golf course. Entry pricing typically from $2.5M to $7M.
Arrowhead
Large lots of approximately one acre with views of the golf course and the Strip. Arrowhead homes blend traditional luxury with contemporary updates. A strong value within The Ridges for buyers seeking estate-sized lots.
Silver Ridge and Sterling Ridge
Silver Ridge features 83 luxury homes overlooking the valley and the Bear's Best fairways. Sterling Ridge, developed by William Lyon Homes, offers sleek contemporary semi-custom designs with extensive glass to capture mountain views. These enclaves offer a strong balance of modern design and relative value within The Ridges, with homes typically from $2M to $5M.
Boulder Ridge, Topaz Ridge, and Fairway Pointe
These enclaves feature partial-custom and semi-custom homes in the $1.5M to $3.5M range — offering entry-level access to The Ridges lifestyle without the price tag of the full-custom neighborhoods.
Fairway Hills (Condos)
Toll Brothers developed a luxury condo subdivision within The Ridges featuring elevator-access units of 2,000+ square feet, two-story designs, and maintenance-free living behind the guard gate. Condo pricing ranges from approximately $680,000 to $1.7 million — the most accessible entry point into The Ridges. Perfect for buyers who want the security and prestige of The Ridges without maintaining a large estate. Browse luxury condos in Las Vegas.

The Ridges Market Data: What Buyers Need to Know in 2026
The Ridges is a low-volume, high-value market where medians can swing dramatically month to month based on which enclaves are trading. Here is the data picture:
-
2024 annual data: 52 properties sold, median price approximately $4.44 million, average $813/sq ft, average 63 days on market.
-
February 2026 snapshot: Median sold price closer to $2.7 million (reflecting a month dominated by condo and semi-custom sales rather than custom estates).
-
Current listing range: $680,000 (Fairway Hills condos) to $20 million (Azure and Promontory estates), with approximately 40–54 active listings at any given time.
-
2025 top sales in The Ridges: $16 million (68 Sun Glow Lane, Azure), $14.7 million (14 Magic Stone Lane, Azure), $13.5 million (19 Flying Cloud Lane, Azure).
The broader Las Vegas luxury market (Altos Research, April 2026) shows a Market Action Index of 35 with 34% of listings carrying price reductions. However, well-positioned properties in The Ridges' top enclaves (Azure, Promontory, Rimrock) trade on their own fundamentals — supply is so limited that pricing power remains strong for truly exceptional homes.

The upcoming $300 million Amara Golf Club renovation is the most significant value catalyst in the community's history. Properties along the golf course fairways are expected to see meaningful appreciation as the renovation completes and membership demand increases.
