KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About The Foothills at Southern Highlands at a Glance?
The Foothills at Southern Highlands offers single-family homes priced $550K–$1M inside the Southern Highlands master plan (ZIP 89141), with an area median near $750,000 per Las Vegas REALTORS, 42 median days on market, and Clark County data per the U.S. Census. The five takeaways below explain why this address draws families and California relocators.
- Master-plan amenities: Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, 35,000 sq ft clubhouse, 2,000+ acres of parks and open space — included in the Southern Highlands lifestyle.
- Not guard-gated: The Foothills is an open village section; buyers who need a staffed gate should look at adjacent guarded Southern Highlands enclaves in a similar price band.
- HOA structure: $80–$200/mo covers the master-plan parks and common areas; golf-club membership is a separate cost — budget both.
- Location advantage: 15 minutes to Harry Reid Airport and 20 minutes to the Strip via I-15 — unusually fast access for a community this scenic and quiet.
- Tax savings vs. California: Zero Nevada state income tax plus a Clark County property-tax rate of ~0.5–0.7% capped at 3% annual growth for primary residences under NRS 361.471.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is The Foothills at Southern Highlands Safe?
Direct Answer
Yes — the Enterprise / Southern Highlands corridor consistently tracks below city-average crime rates. The Foothills is an open (non-gated) neighborhood in a stable, owner-heavy area; benchmark specific streets through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and walk the block at different times before writing. The southwest Las Vegas location outside the tourist corridor further keeps the residential feel calm.

- Homeownership rateOwner-heavy neighborhoods correlate with lower property crime
- Las Vegas Metro Police coverageEnterprise area patrol zone
- Neighborhood access (no staffed gate)Buyers seeking gated options: see The Enclave at Southern Highlands
What Buyers Should Know
The southwest Las Vegas Valley — Enterprise in particular — is a predominantly residential ownership area with relatively low through-traffic and strong community stability. Southern Highlands' master-plan design keeps commercial uses separated from residential streets, and the I-15 access corridor channels commuter traffic efficiently without routing it through residential neighborhoods.
Crime in the Enterprise corridor concentrates around commercial areas and arterials rather than the interior residential streets of Southern Highlands. Property crime (vehicle break-ins, package theft) remains the most common incident type in southwest Las Vegas — consistent with suburban areas valley-wide — at rates buyers can verify through FBI UCR-based tools before writing an offer.
For buyers comparing the Foothills to guard-gated alternatives, the trade-off is clear: the $80–$200/mo HOA buys master-plan amenities, not a staffed gate. If gated security is a priority, ask our team about the guard-gated sections within Southern Highlands proper in a similar price range.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does The Foothills at Southern Highlands Score?
The Foothills earns strong marks for amenities, outdoor access, and location — with honest trade-offs on public school ratings and the lack of a staffed gate. Below is our category-by-category report card, the same six factors our agents walk through with every Southern Highlands buyer before a first tour.
Grade B+: Safety
Enterprise / SW Las Vegas corridor tracks below city-average crime per FBI UCR; no staffed gate, but a stable owner-heavy neighborhood.
Grade B: Schools
CCSD campuses (Wright 7/10, Faiss 6/10, Sierra Vista 6/10) per GreatSchools; Bishop Gorman private and Pinecrest Academy charter round out strong options nearby.
Grade B+: Cost of Living
$550K–$1M with $80–$200/mo HOA is a competitive price for the master-plan quality — though golf membership adds a separate budget line.
Grade A: Amenities
Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, 35,000 sq ft clubhouse, resort pool, fitness, spa, and 2,000+ acres of parks and trails — among the richest master-plan packages in the valley.
Grade A-: Outdoor Access
Southern Highlands Park, Exploration Peak Park, miles of community trails, and Spring Mountain views — with Red Rock Canyon roughly 35 minutes via I-215.
Grade A-: Commute
15 minutes to Harry Reid Airport, 20 minutes to the Strip, 15 minutes to Henderson — I-15 makes this one of the most connected scenic communities in the valley.

Quick Answer
Is The Foothills at Southern Highlands a good place to live?
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.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is the Southern Highlands Area Growing?
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.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does The Foothills at Southern Highlands Score for Livability?
The Foothills scores highest on amenities and commute convenience: Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, 2,000-plus acres of parks, 15 minutes to Harry Reid Airport, and zero Nevada state income tax. Honest trade-offs are public school ratings one notch below the valley's top campuses and an open, non-gated neighborhood entry. Six categories follow.

- Community plan record · drive times
I-15 adjacency — 15 min to the airport
Harry Reid International Airport is roughly 15 minutes north on I-15 — unusually fast for a community this scenic, making it a genuine choice for frequent flyers and remote professionals.
- California Franchise Tax Board + Nevada Dept. of Taxation
Nevada tax climate — zero state income tax
Nevada levies no personal income tax; California's top marginal rate is 13.3% per the CA Franchise Tax Board. Most California households relocating here recover the Foothills' HOA in the first month of tax savings.

3% property-tax cap on primary residences

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
HOA fees in The Foothills at Southern Highlands typically run $80–$200 per month, covering both the Southern Highlands master-association dues and the Foothills sub-association. That combined fee maintains the master plan's 2,000-plus acres of parks, trails, and open space. Golf-club access — the Jack Nicklaus Signature course and 35,000 sq ft clubhouse — is governed by a separate membership that runs materially above the HOA. Always request both resale packages (master + sub-association dues, reserves, and transfer fees) early in escrow.
Moving to The Foothills at Southern Highlands
Should I Move to The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
Every month, households from Southern California and the Bay Area discover that master-planned resort living priced out of reach at home is attainable in southwest Las Vegas. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that single difference funds most relocations.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing Southern Highlands
The tax math is clear: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $300,000 saves roughly $27,000 annually on state income taxes alone. The Foothills adds a layer coastal master plans can't match at this price: a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course next door, 2,000-plus acres of parks and open space, Spring Mountain views, and Clark County property taxes capped at 3% annual growth for primary residences under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471 — all 20 minutes from the Strip via I-15.
At a $750,000 budget, a Southern California buyer is looking at a dated tract home in the inland suburbs. That same budget in the Foothills secures a newer single-family home inside a master plan with resort amenities, mountain views, and one of Nevada's finest golf courses minutes away — with 15 minutes to Harry Reid Airport when the next client meeting calls.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the 89141 ZIP code median sits near $750,000 for single-family homes. Per the Clark County Assessor, the effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data lets you benchmark safety in the Enterprise / Southern Highlands corridor, and the Bureau of Land Management manages Red Rock Canyon roughly 35 minutes northwest.
Southern Highlands draws a professional and family profile: median age around 36 and average household income above $85,000 per community records. The I-15 corridor provides rapid access to the Strip resort employment core, Harry Reid Airport, and the growing Henderson employment hub — making the southwest valley a genuine commuter address for valley-wide and remote workers alike.
Cost of Living Snapshot — Southern Highlands vs. Southern California
Day-to-day costs run meaningfully lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada has no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that tilts hardest: master-planned resort amenities and a Jack Nicklaus golf course that would carry a premium initiation fee in California are built into the Southern Highlands lifestyle at a fraction of the price.
| Metric | Foothills at S. Highlands, NV | Southern California |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Median Home Price (area) | ~$750K | $900K–$1.5M+ (comparable master plans) |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.0%+ |
| HOA (master plan) | $80–$200/mo | $300–$600/mo (comparable master plans) |
| Airport Commute | ~15 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (LAX/SNA) |

Southern Highlands Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Homeownership runs at 78% in the community — rental inventory is thinner than the broader Las Vegas market, which keeps lease pricing firm when units do appear. Single-family rentals in Southern Highlands target relocating professionals on corporate leases and families testing the area before buying. Short-term rentals are restricted by Clark County ordinance in the Enterprise area; verify current rules before underwriting any short-rental income on a Foothills purchase.

How to Relocate to The Foothills at Southern Highlands in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Foothills buyers follow. Two deadlines are statutory: Nevada requires a driver's license within 30 days of residency and vehicle registration within 60, per the Nevada DMV — miss them and registration penalties stack.
Pick your price band and lifestyle priority
Decide between the $550K–$700K entry, $700K–$850K mid-range, or $850K–$1M upper Foothills; and whether golf membership is in the budget alongside the $80–$200/mo HOA.
Get pre-approved — know your loan type
$550K–$900K spans conventional and potentially jumbo territory depending on down payment. Get your loan type and limit confirmed before touring so you don't overreach in a competitive offer.
Hire a Southern Highlands specialist
Sub-association HOA tiers, lot position relative to the golf course and open space, and the two-layer HOA structure all affect value. Work with an agent who closes regularly in Southern Highlands.
Tour in person or virtually
The Foothills has no gate restrictions — tours are straightforward. Walk the community at different times; note proximity to the golf course, views, and specific HOA boundaries.
Write and negotiate the offer
Understand the seller's timeline and what they've already invested. Our agents pull current comps within Southern Highlands — not broader southwest Las Vegas — for accurate pricing.
Inspection and HOA document review
Order both HOA resale packages (master association + Foothills sub-association) immediately after acceptance. Confirm dues, reserve levels, and any pending assessments before your diligence window closes.
Clear conditions and fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies; expect 30–45 days from acceptance to funding. Budget extra time for HOA document delivery if either association is slow on the resale package.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register with HOA, then handle the Nevada DMV — license within 30 days of residency, vehicle registration within 60.

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.
What are HOA fees in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
What schools serve The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
What golf course is at Southern Highlands?
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.
How far is The Foothills at Southern Highlands from the Strip?
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.
What are property taxes like in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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 $750,000 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.
Is The Foothills at Southern Highlands a good fit for families?
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.
What makes Southern Highlands different from other Las Vegas master-planned communities?
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.
How does Nevada's tax climate affect a Southern Highlands purchase vs. California?
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.
Is there new construction in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
What outdoor amenities does the Southern Highlands master plan offer?
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.
Is The Foothills at Southern Highlands safe?
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.
What should I budget for monthly carrying costs in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
On a $750,000 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.
What should I know before buying in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
What down payment do you need to buy in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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 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.
How long does it take to close on a home in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
Yes — our team closes regularly in Southern Highlands and the broader southwest Las Vegas / Enterprise corridor. We handle comparable selection, HOA document review, builder negotiations, and out-of-state virtual tours.

Is Southern Highlands a nice neighborhood?

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.
What are the best streets in The Foothills at Southern Highlands?
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.
How does Southern Highlands compare to Summerlin?
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.
