The Spring Mountains of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area surround the 877-acre village of The Ridges, meaning residents are practically living at the entrance to Red Rock Canyon.
A feeling of serenity is ever-present as you pass through three sets of security gates into the development that houses seven custom and four high-end, pre-designed subsections.
While the modern design is prevalent, Frank Lloyd Wright influences are also present throughout the neighborhood.
These include:
• Boulder Ridge is a collection of 46 residences of semi-custom designs by Christopher Homes that simplifies the customization process without sacrificing individual style and luxury.
• Promontory Ridge, with lots drawing near an acre, lies at the highest levels of elevation of The Ridges. Thanks to the height restrictions enforced by the Summerlin building codes, all views from Promontory Ridge are unimpeded.
• Silver Ridge and Stone Ridge are also semi-custom home collections.
• Arrowhead is in the middle section of The Ridges, flanked on both ends by the Bear’s Best golf course. Lots in Arrowhead start at 2/3 of an acre.
• Falcon Ridge focuses on natural splendor to accompany the custom built homes.
• Red Hawk is a section with 80 custom homes built in desert contemporary style architecture.
• Topaz Ridge is noteworthy because of the single story floor plans, built by William Lyon Homes
• Azure is the newest custom home addition to The Ridges.
The Pointe is an intimate cluster of 12 outstanding custom homes within The Ridges. Three sets of security gates ensure privacy and safety for all residents of this exclusive niche. Large lots provide a buffer from neighbors and give way to niceties like private putting greens and sports courts.
The Ridges Townhomes
Fairway Hills is a collection of townhomes within The Ridges built by luxury Las Vegas homebuilder, Toll Brothers. The complex is near Club Ridges, the exclusive, resort-style recreational and social gathering place for residents of The Ridges.

The Golf Course
Jack Nicklaus-designed Bear’s Best Las Vegas golf course is the center of the village, complete with a full-service clubhouse for casual dining options. Vistas from the bar and dining room are impressive, and the clubhouse took full advantage of this with an abundance of outdoor seating.
