KEY TAKEAWAYS
What Should You Know About The Hills South at a Glance?
The Hills South spans 850 acres in Summerlin South (ZIP 89135) with 2,500-plus homes priced from $600K to $3M+ across four guard-gated enclaves — more gated options than any other Summerlin village — per Las Vegas REALTORS MLS data and Las Vegas city demographics per the U.S. Census. Five takeaways explain why.
- Four gates, one village: Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills each have 24-hour staffed gates — more gated options than any other Summerlin village.
- Golf-course adjacency: Tournament Hills and Country Club Hills sit adjacent to TPC Summerlin, the PGA Tour host course — a premium buyers pay at the $900K–$3M+ tier.
- Central Summerlin South location: Five minutes from Downtown Summerlin, twelve from Red Rock Canyon, twenty from the Strip — central without being on the far-western perimeter.
- Mature village character: 26 years of established landscaping and tree-lined streets since Howard Hughes Corporation broke ground in 1998 — newer villages cannot replicate this.
- Do your homework: Four separate sub-associations mean four different HOA structures ($200–$800/mo), so compare total carrying cost and resale packages before writing.

SAFETY & CRIME
Is The Hills South Safe?
Yes — by layered design. The Hills South runs four separately staffed guard gates, perimeter walls, 24-hour security patrols, and controlled vehicle access on top of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department coverage. Inside any enclave, typical incidents are minor property matters. Verify the broader ZIP 89135 area through FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data.

- Roving security across all enclavesHOA-funded per the community plan
- Las Vegas Metro Police jurisdictionMetro coverage outside the gates
- Perimeter walls and controlled accessEvery visitor verified at entry
What Buyers Should Know
The Hills South benefits from four separately controlled security perimeters — one for each guard-gated enclave — which means no single gate failure compromises the entire village. Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills each maintain their own access lists, 24-hour staffing, and security patrol protocols, creating layered defense that individual gated communities rarely achieve.
The surrounding Summerlin South corridor (ZIP 89135) is one of the Las Vegas Valley's lowest-incident areas: established owner-occupant neighborhoods, direct LVMPD presence, and the community-watch culture that comes with a high homeownership rate of 88%. Buyers can verify the broader area statistics through FBI UCR-based tools before writing an offer.
For families, the security picture translates into quiet streets without through-traffic — every vehicle inside any of the four enclaves passed a staffed gate — giving children the freedom to move around neighborhoods safely. The school-zoning draw (Sig Rogich 10/10, Palo Verde 8/10) pairs directly with this security environment.

LIVABILITY REPORT CARD
How Does The Hills South Score?
The Hills South earns top marks for schools, safety, and Summerlin lifestyle access — with honest trade-offs on HOA complexity across four separate sub-associations. Below is our category-by-category report card, the same six factors our agents walk through with every relocating buyer before a first gated tour.
Grade A: Safety
Four 24-hour staffed gates, perimeter walls, security patrols, and CCSD-zone streets — multi-layer security across all four enclaves.
Grade A: Schools
Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High School (8/10) per GreatSchools, with The Meadows School and Bishop Gorman private options nearby.
Grade B: Cost of Living
Guard-gated entry from ~$900K plus $400–$800 monthly HOA is a luxury proposition — though far below comparable Southern California gated estates.
Grade A: Amenities
TPC Summerlin and Red Rock Country Club golf adjacent, Downtown Summerlin five minutes away, 150+ miles of Summerlin trail network access.
Grade A+: Outdoor Access
Red Rock Canyon twelve minutes west, Summerlin trail system at the doorstep, Spring Mountains a forty-minute drive for skiing and hiking.
Grade A: Commute
Central Summerlin South location — five minutes to Downtown Summerlin, twenty to the Strip, thirty to Harry Reid Airport via the 215.

Quick Answer
Is The Hills South a good place to live?
Yes — particularly if top CCSD school zoning, genuine guard-gate security, and the Summerlin lifestyle are your priorities. The Hills South combines four separate guard-gated enclaves, TPC Summerlin golf adjacency, and 26 years of mature landscaping with a five-minute drive to Downtown Summerlin and twelve minutes to Red Rock Canyon. The trade-offs are real — HOA structures vary across four sub-associations ($200–$800/mo), and guard-gated pricing starts near $900K — but for buyers who want the Summerlin address without The Ridges price tag, few villages compete.

Who Lives in The Hills South?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Las Vegas — the city containing The Hills South — the parent city holds 656,274 residents with a median household income of $66,820. Inside the village, community records show roughly 7,000-plus residents across 2,500-plus households, a median age near 45, and average household income above $175,000.
The Census does not tabulate individual Summerlin villages, so citywide figures are the statistical backdrop — presented honestly. Within the village, our closing data shows executives and professionals who chose Summerlin South for the school zoning, California relocators attracted by zero Nevada income tax, golf-enthusiast buyers near TPC Summerlin, and families in the non-gated neighborhoods targeting Sig Rogich Middle School.

POPULATION & GROWTH
How Fast Is The Hills South Area Growing?
The Hills South is substantially built out — 2,500-plus homes across 850 acres since the late 1990s, with growth happening through remodels and rebuilds rather than raw rooftops. Its parent city keeps compounding: Las Vegas has added roughly 72,000 residents since 2010 per U.S. Census counts, and the Summerlin South corridor remains among the most sought-after in the Las Vegas Valley.
Las Vegas citywide population trajectory, 2010–2030 (projected)
Inside The Hills South, growth is structurally limited by the master plan boundaries — 2,500-plus homes on 850 acres is effectively the permanent count, which is the scarcity argument for ownership here. Surrounding Summerlin South continues to attract high-income households from California and across the country, keeping demand strong relative to the finite supply within the village.

LIVABILITY SCORES
How Does The Hills South Score for Livability?
The Hills South scores highest on schools, safety, and outdoor access: four 24-hour staffed gates, Sig Rogich Middle at 10/10, and Red Rock Canyon twelve minutes west. The honest trade-offs are HOA complexity across four sub-associations and entry pricing at the guard-gated tier from $900K-plus.

Start Your Home SearchPros
- Four separate 24-hour staffed guard gates — more gated enclaves than any other Summerlin village
- Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10 GreatSchools) — one of Nevada's top public middle schools, in the zoned attendance area
- TPC Summerlin PGA Tour golf adjacent — fairway frontage in Tournament Hills and Country Club Hills
- Five minutes from Downtown Summerlin, twelve from Red Rock Canyon, twenty from the Strip
- 26-plus years of mature landscaping and established character that newer Summerlin villages cannot replicate
- Guard-gated luxury pricing from $900K undercuts The Ridges ($2M+) and The Peaks meaningfully

Honest Considerations
- HOA complexity: four sub-associations with fees from $200–$800/mo — compare total carrying cost across enclaves before deciding
- No new production construction inside the village — resale only, and custom finishes vary widely
- Guard-gated enclave comps are thin — enclave-level medians have small samples; valuation takes specialist judgment
- Custom estates above the conforming loan limit need jumbo financing with reserves
- The Hills South vs. The Hills (north) confusion — keep the two sister villages distinct in searches and alerts
- Extreme summer heat — 105°F+ stretches July through September, like all of Las Vegas

No production builder operates inside The Hills South today — the village is substantially built out from 1998 onward, with today's opportunities being resale, remodel, or the occasional rebuild candidate in Country Club Hills.

Open houses in The Hills South vary by enclave: non-gated neighborhoods list through standard MLS channels, while the four guard-gated enclaves require gate clearance arranged in advance.

Quick Answer
What does an HOA cost in The Hills South?
Budget by neighborhood type. Non-gated Hills South streets pay $200–$350 per month covering the Summerlin master association and sub-association landscaping. Guard-gated enclaves run $400–$800 monthly, folding in 24-hour gate staffing, security patrols, perimeter maintenance, and the master HOA base fee. Always pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve study, assessment history, and CC&Rs — early in escrow, and compare total monthly carrying cost rather than list price alone.
Should I Move to The Hills South?
Every month, households from Southern California discover that guard-gated Summerlin estate living costs a fraction of comparable Los Angeles or Orange County addresses. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board; Nevada's is zero — and that single line item funds most Hills South relocations in under two years.
Why California Buyers Are Choosing The Hills South
The tax math is unambiguous: California's top marginal state income tax is 13.3% — Nevada's is zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $40,000 per year in state income taxes alone. The Hills South adds what Southern California guard-gated communities can't answer at the price: an effective property-tax rate of roughly 0.5–0.7% with a 3% annual cap for primary residences under NRS 361.471, four staffed-gate enclaves, TPC Summerlin golf adjacency, and a five-minute drive to Downtown Summerlin.
At a $1.5 million budget, Orange County buyers are reviewing a dated ranch on a tight lot behind a modest gate. That same budget in The Hills South secures a semi-custom estate in Country Club Hills or Tournament Hills — often with golf-course or mountain views, 24-hour security, and 2,500-plus-square-foot footprints — five minutes from Downtown Summerlin and twelve from Red Rock Canyon.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, ZIP 89135 (Summerlin South) carries an active median near $1.1 million, with guard-gated enclaves in The Hills South running $900K to $3M+. 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 area safety, and the Bureau of Land Management manages the roughly 195,000-acre Red Rock Canyon conservation area twelve minutes west.
The Hills South runs on a professional economy: executives, physicians, attorneys, and entrepreneurs who prioritize the Summerlin address and school zoning. Average household income inside the village tops $175,000 per community records. The Downtown Summerlin corporate and retail corridor is five minutes away, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center about ten, and the Strip's resort employment core twenty minutes east — connectivity that attracts high earners who still need to be somewhere fast.
Cost of Living Snapshot — The Hills South vs. Los Angeles
Day-to-day costs run materially lower than coastal California across nearly every category. Nevada levies no state income tax and no personal property tax on vehicles beyond registration. The category that flips hardest is the one that matters here: guard-gated Summerlin estate living starting near $600K replaces what would cost $2M+ in comparable Southern California gated communities.
| Metric | The Hills South, NV | Los Angeles, CA |
|---|---|---|
| State Income Tax | None | Up to 13.3% |
| Guard-Gated Entry Price | ~$900K+ (inside the gate) | $2M+ (comparable Westside gate) |
| Non-Gated Village Entry | From $600K | From $1.5M+ (comparable area) |
| Effective Property Tax Rate | ~0.5%–0.7% | ~1.0%+ |
| Airport Commute | ~30 min (Harry Reid) | 45–90+ min (LAX) |

The Hills South Rental Market — Rent vs. Own
Executive leases inside the guard-gated enclaves are rare — 88% of Hills South households own per community records, and with 2,500-plus homes spread across four gated communities, rental inventory surfaces infrequently. Non-gated neighborhood rentals appear somewhat more often. Short-term vacation rentals face Clark County regulations and HOA restrictions — never underwrite STR income on a Hills South purchase without reading the CC&Rs and current county rules. Scarcity rewards owners over a 5-plus-year hold.

How to Relocate to The Hills South in 8 Steps
From first research to keys-in-hand, here's the 8-12 week timeline most Hills South 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 enclave and set a budget
Decide which Hills South you're buying: non-gated from $600K, Eagle Hills guard-gated from $900K, Corte Bella from $1M+, Tournament Hills from $1.2M+, or Country Club Hills custom estates from $1.5M+. Each carries different dues and financing paths.
Get pre-approved — tier-aware
Entry non-gated homes can finance conventionally; guard-gated estates above the conforming loan limit go jumbo with reserves. Four separate associations mean four sets of HOA documents — confirm your lender handles all four.
Hire a Hills South specialist
With four guard-gated enclaves and wide pricing variation from $600K to $3M+, comps demand judgment — enclave-level TPC premiums, view lot positioning, and association dues all move the numbers. Work with an agent who tracks the nuances.
Tour in person or virtually
Guard-gated showings need enclave-specific clearance arranged in advance. We coordinate access across all four gates. Walk candidate streets at different hours; virtual tours work well for out-of-state buyers comparing enclaves.
Write and negotiate the offer
Cash is common at the $1.5M+ estate tier; financed buyers compete with clean terms and tier-vetted pre-approvals. TPC-frontage homes rarely discount — know your comp set before you write a number.
Inspection, HOA docs & due diligence
Order all four applicable HOA resale packages early: dues, reserves, assessment history, CC&Rs, and each enclave's gate and visitor policies. Cross-check which sub-association governs the specific address before closing.
Clear conditions & fund
Nevada closes through escrow companies; expect 30-45 days from acceptance to funding. Jumbo appraisals on custom estates sometimes need extra time — start the appraisal immediately after acceptance.
Close, move, and register
Transfer utilities (NV Energy, Southwest Gas, Las Vegas Valley Water District), register gate transponders with the applicable sub-association, then handle the DMV — license within 30 days, registration within 60.
ECONOMY & JOBS
What Drives The Hills South Economy?
The Hills South runs on a professional economy: executives, physicians, attorneys, and entrepreneurs who chose Summerlin South for the school zoning and lifestyle radius. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Las Vegas metro labor market remains historically strong, and community records put average household income here above $175,000 — roughly 2.4 times the Clark County median.

BUY VS RENT
Should you buy or rent in The Hills South right now?
Rental supply inside the guard-gated enclaves is structurally thin — 88% of households own — so executive leases command strong pricing when they appear. For 5-plus-year holds, the scarcity math tilts decisively toward owning in Summerlin South.

The 5-year breakeven
Owning an entry-level guard-gated Hills South home for five years nets out cheaper than leasing once principal paydown and appreciation are counted — and the owner walks away with roughly $285,000 in equity (including the down payment) while the renter walks away with none. Scarcity-supported appreciation in Summerlin South above the modeled 3% widens the gap further.
Model assumptions: 7.0% 30-yr fixed (Freddie Mac PMMS), 3% annual appreciation, 4% annual rent growth, 0.6% effective property tax, $500/mo blended HOA (gated), modeled $4,800 executive lease.

Most Hills South purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers at the guard-gated estate tier above $1.5M close in 7–14 days. Country Club Hills and Tournament Hills jumbo files sometimes need extra appraisal time — limited enclave-level comps. Request all HOA resale packages the day your offer is accepted.
Quick Answer
What down payment do you need to buy in The Hills South?
Most Hills South buyers put down 10% to 20%. Conventional financing works for non-gated neighborhoods from $600K — plan $60,000 to $120,000 on that entry point — while guard-gated enclaves priced above the conforming loan limit go jumbo, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six months of reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Confirm financing before touring; gate-access showings are arranged in advance, and sellers at the $1M+ tier expect pre-approved buyers.
The Hills South FAQ — 18 Answers
What Do The Hills South Buyers Most Frequently Ask?
Most AskedWhat guard-gated communities are in The Hills South?
Four guard-gated enclaves sit within The Hills South: Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills — each with a 24-hour staffed gate. Country Club Hills and Tournament Hills command the highest premiums for golf proximity and estate lots. Tour all four before deciding; character and HOA fees differ meaningfully.
What is the price range in The Hills South?
Homes in The Hills South range from approximately $600,000 in the non-gated neighborhoods to over $3 million in the guard-gated enclaves, with Country Club Hills and Tournament Hills at the top for golf-course and estate properties. The 850-acre village holds 2,500-plus homes built from 1998 onward. Decide first whether the guard-gate premium fits your budget — it shapes everything else in your search. The ZIP 89135 median per $1,100,000 (Las Vegas REALTORS) reflects the broader Summerlin South area.
Is Tournament Hills near TPC Summerlin?
Yes — Tournament Hills is guard-gated and sits directly adjacent to TPC Summerlin, the PGA Tour championship course hosting the annual Shriners Children's Open, with several homes fronting the course itself. Country Club Hills shares the golf-proximity premium. Course-frontage homes price at the top of the village's $600K–$3M-plus range, so confirm exact lot orientation when comparing listings side by side.
What ZIP code is The Hills South in?
The Hills South is located primarily in ZIP code 89135, in the Summerlin South area of Las Vegas. Home prices run from $600K to over $3 million across its 850 acres and 2,500-plus homes. When setting alerts, pair 89135 with enclave names — Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, Tournament Hills — to separate guard-gated inventory from the non-gated neighborhoods.
How does The Hills South compare to The Ridges?
The Ridges is Summerlin's most exclusive address, with pricing from $2 million to $20 million-plus, while The Hills South delivers genuine guard-gated luxury from roughly $600,000 — with mature landscaping, top school zoning, and a central location five minutes from Downtown Summerlin. For most buyers the question is value: comparable security and the Summerlin brand at a fraction of The Ridges' entry point.
What schools serve The Hills South?
The Hills South is zoned for top-performing Clark County School District campuses, including Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High School (8/10), with Red Rock Elementary (8/10) also serving the village. Private options nearby include The Meadows School (A+) and Bishop Gorman (A+), plus Doral Academy Red Rock (9/10) on the charter side. Verify zoning by address — assignments vary across the village.
What are HOA fees in The Hills South?
HOA fees vary by neighborhood: non-gated areas typically pay $200–$350 per month, while the guard-gated enclaves run $400 to $800, combining the Summerlin master association fee with sub-association charges for gate staffing and enhanced maintenance. The spread is effectively the price of the security layer. Request each association's resale package before offering — fee structures differ enclave by enclave.
Is The Hills South in Summerlin North or South?
The Hills South belongs to the Summerlin South Association, in the central-southern portion of the master plan — distinct from The Hills village in Summerlin North, its similarly named sister. The location puts Downtown Summerlin about 5 minutes away, Red Rock Canyon 12, and the Strip 20. Keep the two villages separate in your searches; pricing, enclaves, and associations differ between them.
How does the guard gate entry process work?
Residents of the guard-gated enclaves enter automatically with transponders or access codes. Guests must be called in by the homeowner or placed on a pre-approved list, and vendors follow each enclave's access policy. All four gates — Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills — are staffed 24 hours a day. Plan showings with gate clearance arranged in advance.
Can non-residents access the community for viewings?
Yes — prospective buyers tour the guard-gated enclaves with a licensed real estate agent who coordinates entry with each gate in advance; the non-gated neighborhoods are open to normal showings. Nevada Real Estate Group handles all gate access arrangements across Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills. Call (702) 637-1759 to line up clearance and a multi-enclave tour.
What security features are included beyond the guard gate?
Beyond the staffed gates, the enclaves include perimeter walls, controlled vehicle access, and security patrols, with entry-point surveillance and emergency-response coordination standard for guard-gated communities of this caliber. Security infrastructure varies slightly across the four enclaves, so compare each association's provisions side by side — request the security disclosures included in the resale package during your due-diligence window.
Are there custom home lot opportunities in The Hills South?
Vacant custom lots are limited in The Hills South — the village dates to 1998 and is substantially built out, though Country Club Hills features larger custom and semi-custom estates that occasionally trade as renovation or rebuild candidates. Availability varies, so treat any buildable opportunity as inventory-dependent. Nevada Real Estate Group can check current lot and estate listings across all four enclaves.
What is the resale value trend for luxury guard-gated homes here?
Luxury homes in guard-gated communities have historically outperformed the broader market — stronger value retention in downturns and solid appreciation in growth cycles — and limited supply creates structural support. The Hills South adds mature landscaping, TPC Summerlin adjacency, and a central location newer villages cannot match. Review enclave-level comparable sales, since Country Club Hills and Tournament Hills price differently from Corte Bella.
How does Nevada property tax compare to California for Hills South buyers?
Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per the Clark County Assessor, with annual increases on a primary residence capped at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. California's top state income-tax rate is 13.3% per the Franchise Tax Board — Nevada levies zero. A household earning $400,000 saves roughly $40,000 per year in state income taxes alone, funding much of the Hills South entry premium in under two years.
Can Nevada Real Estate Group help me buy or sell in The Hills South?
Yes — Nevada Real Estate Group is Nevada's #1 real estate team with 9,600+ closed transactions and $4.85 billion+ in volume. Our agents specialize in Summerlin's guard-gated villages, handle gate clearance for all four Hills South enclaves, and maintain direct relationships with active sellers across Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, and Tournament Hills. Call (702) 637-1759 to connect with a Hills South specialist today.
What down payment do you need to buy in The Hills South?
Most Hills South buyers put down 10% to 20%. Conventional financing works for non-gated neighborhoods from $600K — plan $60,000 to $120,000 on that entry point — while guard-gated enclaves priced above the conforming loan limit go jumbo, where lenders typically want 20–25% down plus six months of reserves. VA loans allow 0% for eligible veterans. Confirm financing before touring; gate-access showings are arranged in advance, and sellers expect pre-approved buyers.
What does an HOA cost in The Hills South?
Budget by neighborhood type. Non-gated Hills South streets pay $200–$350 per month covering the Summerlin master association and sub-association landscaping. Guard-gated enclaves run $400–$800 monthly, folding in 24-hour gate staffing, security patrols, perimeter maintenance, and the master HOA base fee. Always pull the full resale package — current dues, reserve study, assessment history, and CC&Rs — early in escrow, and compare total monthly carrying cost rather than list price alone.
How long does it take to close on a home in The Hills South?
Most Hills South purchases close in 30 to 45 days through a Nevada escrow company. Cash offers — common at the guard-gated estate tier — can close in 7–14 days. Jumbo files on Country Club Hills or Tournament Hills estates sometimes need extra appraisal time because enclave-level comparables are limited. HOA document review adds roughly a week; start that request the day your offer is accepted so you have the package well inside your inspection window.

PEOPLE ALSO ASK
What Else Do People Ask About The Hills South?
These are the eight queries Hills South buyers actually type into Google and AI assistants — answered with specifics you can verify: market figures from Las Vegas REALTORS, school ratings from GreatSchools, tax law from the Nevada Revised Statutes, and community facts from the Howard Hughes Corporation plan record.
Is The Hills South in Summerlin?
Yes — The Hills South is a village within the Summerlin master plan in Las Vegas (ZIP 89135), developed by Howard Hughes Corporation. It sits in Summerlin South, adjacent to TPC Summerlin and Red Rock Country Club, and is served by top CCSD schools including Sig Rogich Middle School (10/10) and Palo Verde High School (8/10).
What is the difference between The Hills and The Hills South?
The Hills village is in Summerlin North; The Hills South is in Summerlin South (ZIP 89135). They are sister villages within the Howard Hughes Corporation master plan but different associations, different school attendance boundaries in some areas, and different enclave structures. Always clarify which village you mean in your MLS search.
Is Country Club Hills the most expensive part of The Hills South?
Country Club Hills and Tournament Hills typically command the highest prices in The Hills South — both sit adjacent to TPC Summerlin, with custom and semi-custom estates from $1.5M to $3M-plus. Country Club Hills features larger estate lots; Tournament Hills adds direct golf-course frontage. Eagle Hills and Corte Bella offer guard-gated entry closer to $900K–$1.2M.
Can I golf at TPC Summerlin if I live in Tournament Hills?
TPC Summerlin operates as a daily-fee facility — residents do not receive automatic membership, but you can book tee times like any golfer through the TPC network. The premium of Tournament Hills ownership is physical proximity and view, not membership rights. For full club access, Red Rock Country Club five minutes west offers a membership-based experience with two Arnold Palmer courses.
How many homes are in The Hills South?
2,500-plus homes spread across 850 acres, built from 1998 onward under the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan. That count spans both the guard-gated enclaves (Country Club Hills, Eagle Hills, Corte Bella, Tournament Hills) and the non-gated neighborhoods within the village boundaries.
What is the HOA fee range in The Hills South?
HOA fees run $200–$350 per month for non-gated Streets (Summerlin master association only) and $400–$800 per month for guard-gated enclave addresses (master association plus sub-association gate staffing and security). Request the full resale package for the specific enclave before you offer — fee structures differ across the four gated communities.
Is The Hills South a good investment?
Guard-gated Summerlin South real estate has historically shown strong value retention and appreciation relative to the broader Las Vegas market. The Hills South adds structural scarcity (limited new supply), top school zoning, TPC Summerlin adjacency, and the Summerlin address — all factors that support well-bought positions over a 5-plus-year hold. Review enclave-level comparables before writing; Country Club Hills and Eagle Hills price quite differently.
How far is The Hills South from Red Rock Canyon?
About twelve minutes via West Charleston Boulevard heading west from the village. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area encompasses roughly 195,000 acres of Mojave desert, with the 13-mile scenic drive, world-class climbing, and premier hiking managed by the Bureau of Land Management — one of the most accessible major outdoor recreation areas from any Las Vegas address.
