Highlands Ranch - Las Vegas, NV Area Guide

A quiet desert feel not far from The Strip

Convenient Affordable Desert Hiking

Located just nine miles south of Downtown Las Vegas, Highlands Ranch offers residents a quick trip to the Strip while still being far enough away from the lights for a little peace and quiet. The wide spaces surrounding the nearby apartments offer an open, country-like feel. For a little more action, the Southern Highlands Golf Club lies just a few miles south or the Rhodes Ranch Golf Club a few miles to the west.

For more outdoor fun, residents like to spend long weekends at the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area for hiking, horseback riding, or wildlife watching. There’s an array of single-family homes in the typical Nevada style, complete with rock and cacti gardens, to more upscale apartment communities as well.
