What is a guard-gated community, and how is it different from a gated community?
A gated community has an automated gate or a callbox at the entrance, and no one is stationed there. A guard-gated community has a staffed guard booth with live security, often 24 hours a day, and every visitor is checked in by a person. In the Las Vegas valley that difference matters. Guard-gated addresses carry a premium, and most of the valley's custom-home enclaves are guard-gated rather than gated.
How many guard-gated communities are in Las Vegas?
They sit in every part of the valley, from The Fountains and MacDonald Highlands in Henderson to The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club in Summerlin, Southern Highlands in the southwest, and Queensridge on the west side. We keep a working map of every gate in the valley and update it as new communities open.
Which Las Vegas guard-gated communities have golf?
Many are built around a private course. In Henderson that includes MacDonald Highlands at DragonRidge, Anthem Country Club, and Seven Hills at Rio Secco. In Summerlin, Red Rock Country Club, The Ridges at Bear's Best, and Tournament Hills on TPC Summerlin. On the west side, Canyon Gate and Spanish Trail. In the southwest, Southern Highlands. Others, like The Fountains, Ascaya, and Queensridge, are not golf communities.
What do homes in Las Vegas guard-gated communities cost?
The range is wide. A guard-gated address can start under $1 million in communities like Rhodes Ranch, and runs past $8 million at The Summit Club and into the tens of millions at Ascaya and The Ridges. Most of the buyers we work with are between $1 million and $3 million. Our average sale price is $1,029,000.
Are the HOA fees in a guard-gated community worth it?
For most buyers at this level, yes. The fee pays for staffed security, controlled access, and in many communities private roads, landscaping, and a path to a golf or clubhouse membership. Fees vary by community, so we quote the exact figure for the specific gate you are considering rather than a valley-wide number.
Do guard-gated homes hold their value?
The strongest guard-gated communities hold value well because supply is fixed and demand is steady. The Fountains is a clear example. We have sold 162 of the 197 homes in The Fountains, 82% of the community, and it has stayed one of Henderson's most stable luxury markets.
How do I buy in a guard-gated community that rarely has listings?
Many of the best homes behind these gates sell quietly, before they reach the open market. We have sold more homes behind the guard gates of Henderson and Green Valley than any other agent or team in the valley, so we often know a home is coming before it is listed. Start by telling us the gate you want, and we will watch it for you.
Which agent sells the most in Las Vegas guard-gated communities?
The Gorton Group. Over 25 years we have sold over $1 billion in Las Vegas real estate across more than 1,000 transactions, with $80 million closed in the last twelve months, and we have sold more homes behind the guard gates of Henderson and Green Valley than any other agent or team in the valley.
We track 79 guard-gated and gated communities across the valley, grouped by area below. Communities with a linked name have a full page ready now. The rest are on the map today and get their own page as we build them out. A few large master plans, including Seven Hills, Southern Highlands, and Providence, are partially guard-gated, with a staffed gate on some enclaves and an automated gate on others.
