What Makes Rhodes Ranch a Master Planned Community?

Developed by Rhodes Homes starting in 1997, Rhodes Ranch spans more than 18 subdivisions with roughly 3,795 single family homes, condos, and custom estates. The community is built around the Ted Robinson Sr. designed Rhodes Ranch Golf Club, an 18 hole, par 71 course stretching 6,909 yards through landscaped fairways and ponds. Sections range from The Falls (360 condos) to luxury enclaves like The Champions, The Collection, and Tuscany, each with distinct home styles and price points.

Homes range from 1,200 square feet to over 4,800 square feet, with lot sizes from 5,000 square feet up to half an acre for estate properties. Builders include nationally recognized names like Pardee, KB Home, Pulte, DR Horton, and Richmond American. Most homes were built between 1997 and the early 2010s, giving the community an established, mature landscape.

What Amenities Does Rhodes Ranch Offer Residents?

The 35,000 square foot R Club Recreation Center anchors community life with fitness facilities, event spaces, and activity programming. The Fun Zone Water Park features 16 slides, a lagoon pool, lap pool, and spas, making it one of the best neighborhood water parks in all of Las Vegas. Residents also enjoy basketball and volleyball courts, tennis courts, a 2 mile walking path, and landscaped ponds throughout the community.
