The Ridges Overview
The Ridges sits on the elevated southern edge of Summerlin, high above Red Rock Country Club's golf courses, developed in phases from the mid-2000s onward. It is a master-level guard-gated community where homes are individually designed and lots carry fairway, mountain and city views.
This is trophy real estate by Las Vegas standards, and my experience here includes representing the buyer side of a recent $3,050,000 purchase in the guard-gated Mountain Trails section of Summerlin. The numbers at this level need real comparable analysis, not price-per-square-foot guesses.
- Master-level guard-gated enclave
- Custom estates on elevated lots
- Above Red Rock Country Club golf
- Fairway, mountain and city views
- Resale from roughly $2M to tens of millions

Homes & Characteristics
Custom estate homes on premium lots, including fairway-front homes above Red Rock Country Club and view estates on the higher streets. Sizes run from several thousand square feet to expansive estates, and finishes reflect the owners who built them.
What It Sells For Right Now
As of mid-2026, The Ridges sells with median sold prices well above $3 million and a wide range up through trophy estates. Separate enclaves such as Mountain Trails carry different price bands, so a serious buyer needs neighborhood-level comparables rather than village averages.
