Is The Ridges a Good Place to Live?

by Ryan Rose

Yes, The Ridges in Summerlin is one of the best places to live in Las Vegas, offering guard gated security, top rated schools, resort caliber amenities, and a cooler mountain elevation that sets it apart from every other luxury community in the valley. Forbes has recognized The Ridges as one of America's most exclusive residential addresses.

What Makes The Ridges a Great Place to Live?

The Ridges delivers a quality of life that is difficult to match anywhere in Southern Nevada. The community sits at 3,200 to 4,000 feet of elevation along the western edge of Summerlin, producing temperatures noticeably cooler than the valley floor and framing daily views of Red Rock Canyon. The 800 acre community is fully guard gated with two 24 hour entry points, and each of the 15 neighborhoods adds its own secondary gate for layered privacy.

Residents enjoy Club Ridges, a private 9,000 square foot clubhouse with a fitness center, resort style pool, heated lap pool, five tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, a playground, spa, and salon. Concierge services, a catering kitchen, and event spaces make the facility a genuine social center rather than an afterthought.

How Safe Is The Ridges?

Safety is one of the top reasons families and retirees choose The Ridges. The community holds an A+ safety rating, supported by round the clock guard gate staffing and secondary gates within each subdivision. The Pointe neighborhood takes security further with triple gate access, making it one of the most protected residential addresses in Nevada. With approximately 3,009 residents, the community maintains a close knit feel where unfamiliar vehicles are noticed immediately.

Ryan Rose regularly hears from clients that the sense of security at The Ridges is what convinced them to make the move, especially families relocating from out of state who prioritize safety above all else.

How Convenient Is The Ridges for Daily Life?

Despite its secluded feel, The Ridges offers practical access to everything Las Vegas has to offer. Downtown Summerlin's shopping and dining district is roughly 15 minutes away. The Las Vegas Strip is a 20 minute drive, and Harry Reid International Airport is reachable in 22 to 30 minutes. Zoned schools include Goolsby Elementary, which carries a GreatSchools rating of 9 to 10, and Fertitta Middle School rated 8 to 10. Several elite private schools, including Bishop Gorman and The Meadows School, are also nearby.
