Southwest Las Vegas Communities

The Southwest Las Vegas area includes the town of Enterprise and master-planned communities like Coronado Ranch, Rhodes Ranch, Southern Highlands, and Mountain’s Edge. Plus Several Boutique Guard Gated Communities such as Granada Hills and the Foothills communities. 

Mountain’s Edge

Mountain’s Edge is one of the largest master-planned communities in Southwest Las Vegas, and it’s tucked into the southwest corner of the valley on the west end of Blue Diamond Highway.

This community offers the most desirable and modern new homes, and a mix of restaurants, shops and office buildings for a perfect live-work destination. Founded in 2004, this community sprouted from the empty desert and yet now offers excellent amenities.

Mountain’s Edge is devoted to restoring native landscape where it was previously eroded by human presence, and the entire community now follows development guidelines to save water and maintain natural beauty in the area. This is where the Old West meets the future of environmentally conscious living. The parks, trails, streetscapes and homes all form a genuine connection between family, community, and natural surroundings with a history that goes back centuries.
