Here's What The Richest Neighborhood In Las Vegas Looks Like

- These people water their lawns - against the law! Plus, we'll talk about where you can move in Vegas, too!
Everyone’s moving to Las Vegas. Well, not everyone, but it IS one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Lots of people want a warm climate and a much cheaper cost of living. I mean there is no income tax here. And look around. There’s plenty of room for more people. There might not be enough water, but there’s enough land.
In Las Vegas, there are lower class areas with rundown apartments and shootings all over the place. Then you have some middle class areas like Henderson. But there are some really super fancy communities here, too. And that’s what we’re going to look at today.
Ask anyone in Las Vegas where the biggest homes and the richest people live and they’ll tell you about two communities - Summerlin and Southern Highlands. On this drive, we’re going to check out Southern Highlands.
Southern Highlands is a gated community on the south end of the Vegas metro area - pretty much the last place you drive past as you head south out of Las Vegas. It’s in the foothills with really nice views of downtown.
The average home price here is six hundred thousand bucks, but there are some MEGA mansions here. There’s a golf course inside and a tennis club and shopping and a spa and a country club. There’s medical facilities, parks and a private police department. And inside this place are three elementary schools and a prep school that charges more than $15k a year to attend. Yes, this gated community has four schools inside its walls.
Some of the wealthiest people in Las Vegas live here. The average households earn well over $100k a year but many make WAY more than that. Toni Braxton, Raiders QB Derek Carr, singer Nick Carter, former baseball player Reggie Jackson, Penn from Penn and Teller, boxer Floyd Mayweather, MMA star Colin McGregor, Shaq and other famous people have homes in here.
We’re going to just drive around this neighborhood for a while and talk with a realtor in the area who knows all about it. That way, you can get some perspective on how the wealthy families in Las Vegas live.

The best video on this topic!
I moved out of Vegas before it got insane, 96...living up in Summerlin definitely gave a feeling of power, looking down into the valley, seeing the cityscape at night from my roof in desert shores over lake Jacqueline is something I'll never forget...
We just retired and bought a home in the area you left! You say Vegas “got insane,” were you talking about The Strip or are there other unpleasant surprises headed our way? We stopped partying years ago & will be staying away from The Strip except for the occasional show & dinner out. We moved to Vegas so we could be close to California (& the grand-babies) without the taxes & high house prices. We’ll travel there to get a break from the heat in the summertime although I don’t see how it could be any worse than Atlanta, where we live currently. I know there will homeless people wherever we move but hopefully not right on top of us like they would be in Cali. Hope you are happier now in your new location!
The funny thing is, if you're a peasant who lives in the middle class areas or whatever, they are constantly sending you notifications from the water company reminding you about the strict watering regulations. But as you can see, if you live over there.... I highly doubt they keep up all those plants / grass only watering a few times a week lol
They need you to conserve water so they can use it...🤣
@@marybetheby5184 it really feels that way.
I’m sure they don’t care about $500 water bills. I like the dbag that parks 4 trucks backwards in his driveway..so ghetto!
Exactly correct
🤣🤣🤣
There are many rich and exclusive homes in Henderson, Anthem, Seven Hills, Southern Highlands, Lake of Las Vegas, Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch and little gated pocket neighborhoods throughout Vegas and Henderson.
Exactly!
how about macdonald highlands?
@@aimalnoman1441 that's the richest part of Henderson where mega mansion are
Also, many subdivisions have little pocket parks for the neighborhood. They are usually hidden away from the main streets. We have a five-acre park in mine. Trails, exercise equipment, bathrooms. If you don't live in the subdivision you don't know about it.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Like who did he talk to, to think Summerlin and southern highlands are the only rich spots 🤣🤣🤣
Born and raised and still here in Vegas. My mom would always drive me around areas with mansions. Particularly off of Hollywood. These new areas are nice to see. It motivates me 🤪🤙🏽
Wow you rarely meet ppl born in Vegas I’ve been here 3 years 😩
Ayeee I love cruising down hollywood
That’s a sweet memory. My dad would do the same and drive through Hollywood after our fishing trips many moons ago. Once in awhile I’ll still drive up there, look at the view, and reminisce a bit ☺️
@@serenityplaygroung right I’m a native
We do the same thing. Right now we live near Boulder Station but my best friend and I will walk around these beautiful neighborhoods with our dogs because 1) it's safe and 2) we like to dream that maybe we could live in one of these areas one day. It's a dream that might never happen but it gets us out of the house and appreciate the architecture and landscaping of these amazing homes.
Look at all those green lawns!! Wow!! You’d never even know we’re in a catastrophic drought livin in that neighborhood!…..
Exactly I love how delusional rich people are.
Your videos just get better and more mature and wise over time. Your awesome.
Very enjoyable and informative content. Keep up the great work mate !!!
These homes are beautiful
I grew up in Vegas (from 72-96) and my dad was a master carpenter along with 2 of my uncles (his brothers) and my brother. They worked on some of the homes in The Highlands as well as Steeple Chase area. I got married to a military man and left the area very shortly after and haven't been back since. My mother is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in N. Las Vegas. So yeah, I do remember Vegas when it was a heck of a lot smaller (far less people) than it is now. When I was a kid growing up there, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot for kids to do, you could go to the "Slip-N-Slide", movies, roller skating rinks, Circus Circus for the shows upstairs..etc.. but otherwise, not much else there for kids to do back then. Now, they've made it way more fun for kids/families to enjoy. I've considered moving back a few times but my husband is from the East Coast and since most of my family is now gone, we stay pretty much close to his family. Take Care everyone, enjoy your time in Vegas (if your making plans to visit anytime soon).
Thanks for sharing
Did you meet any aliens from Area-51
@@trevorgwelch7412 😆No I haven't, but, I hear that that there are some that are walking around downtown posing as humans ( I'm kidding of course....or am I 🤔).

Great Videos! i hope there's more to come
.....🇺🇸❇.....2 those complaining about the weather in Vegas simply because it's hot & dry keep in mind.....
1. No hurricanes
2. No tornadoes
3. No/minimal humidity
4. No snow/nor ice/sleet (issues when walking/driving)
5. No alligators & fewer bugs/pests
6. Not outside mainland US
7. Not as expensive/cheaper vs say NY, Cali or Hawaii.....
"Yeah man, but it's a dry heat!"
@@joerockhead7246 .....🏜.....Honestly after living here in the mid Atlantic for the past 10 years or so I'd take dry heat over the sometimes unpredictable: 1. Rain 2. Snow/ice during the cold season 3. Strong winds occasionally 4. Thunderstorms during summer.....sir/senor.....
Earthquakes?
@@user-lg4cv1dj6k .....🇺🇸🥂.....v good sir! Another point I forgot 2 add about the benefits of hot & sunny & dry Nevada:
8. No earthquakes.....
.....Vs say in overrated California.....
I love nevada for the modt partt
Thanks for tour!
This is a great video. I can’t wait to watch the next one!
We moved to Vegas pre pandemic because we loved the cost of living in Vegas… now… we are already ready to leave 😒 prices are going up, # of people is crazy, not the same 😢
No!
Good luck….price are up everywhere and so does crazy people. Don’t forget people here come from somewhere else.
Good because we are full (Las Vegas).
Yep! That is why it is becoming overpopulated. The costs in LA pushed everyone out over here this driving our prices up across the board.
It will not last long
Vegas is beautiful. I did not know Las Vegas was that pretty. The homes are just downright gorgeous out there. It’s super clean out there too.
The entire east/north side is a ghetto.
Only the rich/ affluent areas are like this. Go downtown or north and it’s a different story haha
@@user-uv7bk5rk2cYou are absolutely right North Las Vegas is a whole different world on Mlk drive Rancho, Bonanza and West and East Vegas looks terrible as well.
I live in Vegas but I sure do like watching your videos because I can see things that I haven't seen before. I just came across your video today
When you think of Los Vegas most think of the casinos but there are beautiful homes there as well great vlog Nick.
I work in the community. Nice place and some really friendly people.
Memories! My wife and I lived in Southern Highlands for 7 years, and my wife was also a designer for Christopher Homes, Of course, we lived in the "I'm not super-rich" area of Southern Highlands. No gates for us. LOL Great video!
No gates means not rich? Oh boy 👦 😅
@@Javierisnotatryhard OK, I changed it to "super-rich". :)
@@seanchristophersynthesizer6999 gee fuckin Wilicker
Yes, this is good to point out, there are places that are not gated where normal folks can visit your grocery stores and parks. For 1000% sure, us outside of like mountain edge and Summerlin take our kids to the parks there, which are amazing!
Why are you hating. Perspective is everything. To some people that’s rich, to others it’s broke
Thanks for sharing I’ll have to tell women I live in Southern Highlands
This is not representative of Las Vegas you won't find green grass anywhere else except for in this video and that's it.
I'm just a peasant living in an average home in Rhodes Ranch, another guard gated golf course community. Southern Highlands is definitely an area I would like to live in someday!
Awesome, beautiful, I subscribed
Ok!
My wife and I used to live in one of those ritzy-rich areas outside Chicago but she wanted to relocate back to Chicago so there we have it. All things considered it worked out for the best. We're both in our late 70's and have health issues. We now live in the Medical district with ready medical assistance if we need it.
What is a medical district?
@@SJtoobsox If they mean in Las Vegas, it would be around where UMC and Valley Hospital are iirc, so like, the Charleston/Shadow Lane area of Las Vegas near downtown.
I live in Chi too and I can't wait to leave! October can't come fast enough
@@gvanderleun what do you mean by criminal animal district?
I'm from oak Park Illinois, so are you back in Chicago or Vegas?
Just wondering how they maintain all the trees and grass. Since we are constantly told we are running out of water.
Wells?
Unsustainable sprinkler systems
Moved to vegas late 2019 😬 worst timing ever. It is turning into a mini LA. Enjoyed my stay as much as possible but am excited to move outta here when I can
Yes! I moved here in summer 2019. We bought a home near the M and we don't like living here. My husband and I are from the east coast and people here are a holes because a lot of them are from Cali. We can't wait to move lol
🤣😂 I grew up out here and left in 2019 and returned 4 months ago and already planning to make another exit once I get my savings together
@@skyebrock7406 lol what part of the east coast cus thats funny I can say the same with people I met that are from boston and new york and jersey every thing has its positive and negative it ain't as bad as how you say it is don't they say most people from the new york are a holes 😂😂
Same
What part of Vegas are you in? I moved to Summerlin 2020 and I like the area.
Those are huge houses for the amount of people that live inside them...
Money and Ego
Let me say this I moved here last August yes it was hot but this is the desert. End of September cool down and October thru March cold and April and may nice and pleasant still get cold days in April. Even in the hot months the night is not 103 degrees like someone said here he's clearly lying. It's windy here during the winter months at least 3 times a week. Strong winds and dusty too. 80 degrees here is a cooler 80 degrees than on the east coast. And when it rains it's an event! Love it here and staying
All that grass ! Such a waste with the water issues ! Have u seen water 💦 levels at hoover dam lately
Nvm. I just realized Nevada gets its water from Hoover Dam. So what? Not everyone wants their home to have no grass. Many people care about themselves more than the environment. If they didn't, they'd stop doing certain things that causes climate change.
Research where water comes from
@Jills Mcfarland can u please tell us ? Considering the colorado river is low and if it’s vegas groundwater it’s not gonna last long either
Visited the Hoover Dam and don’t forget all of the electric for Las Vegas comes from the dam. The reservoir is at 35% capacity and expected to continue to get lower. Moving to Las Vegas is a dumb dumb move.
The neighborhood is really beautiful. Its good to be rich.😁😁😁😁
Jacob and Nick in the same video! My day is made!! Amazing epic duo!
I visited Vegas, and I really liked summerlin. However, the heat is just insane out there.
Personally, I hate gated communities, but I sure have mad respect for Nick. He gives a full range of various places ppl live, maps are awesome and his side kick Mappy is adorable. Thank you.
Gated neighborhoods are great, especially guard gates communities such as Red Rock Country Club where I live. Why you ask? Privacy, security, keeping Google Street View camera out, keeping those who don't belong outside the gates. As for the comment above about the moron who parks their trucks in the driveway, that is moronic.
@@kennixox262 walk back into your gated community...just stay there.
Not a whole lot of gated communities suck, but I see why you would say that tho. Sometimes they can make you S.O.L
@@Tomallenny You’re not supposed to be impressed, just stay out of my gated community peasant
Why do you dislike gated communities? I respect everyones opinions but I just want to know why you dislike them if you wanna answer my question :D
I lived in south Summerlin. I loved it, there. I never felt in danger. They have tons of amazing cheap resturants to eat at.
Very nice.
“There’s no income tax here.”
Me: Cries in Californian 😓😂😑
Nice!
Love the videos can u do more on other states, Los Angeles, Miami New York, Texas, Toronto, thanks
Beautiful place👌
Yes, A lot of people are moving to Las Vegas. This is a very nice area in Las Vegas. I went to Las Vegas on a vacation. It was 103 degrees at night. It may be cheaper to live but that heat is too much. I don’t want to be in a place that’s too hot to go outside. Sacramento Ca is as hot as I want to get. There are some very nice homes. I would like a bigger yard. Thanks for showing such a great video.
Not cheap anymore. I agree way too hot
Sac is a shithole though.
Roasting hot pizza oven in the Summer with an enormous wealth gap. Horrible...
true but vegas has 0% humidity most of the year and barely any rainy days. Heat can get annoying from may to august but from march-may and september-november the weather is perfect
@@fadespeedruns1076 yeah that's a great sacrifice. Only 3 months out of the year is bearable. When it's too hot I stay in and gain weight. I can't stand that dry heat.
You'll be living there soon nick, with all the tube vids, let me know when ya need a room mate!
Wow I didn’t know that about So. High!! Def going to ask my mom to move me there! There’s probably so many rich cats there 🐱✨
Look at that lush greenery in that neighborhood.
Disgusting using the desert resources for greenery.
Nice video but if you planning to move to Vegas first go to Hoover Dam to check the water level and Lake Mead, in approximately 8 to 10 years from now it will taxes for water consumption, plus restrictions because the water will be a big issue.
Also is not cheap as it look.
Without snow the roads re easier to maintain and get less damaged from winter weather. No potholes.
Very nice, and the landscaping, and trees are awesome.
Love my city.....LAS VEGAS 4 LIFE born and raised
Same Here
Great audio- must have picked up your equipment alongside the street in the ghetto.
I love how many trees there are here , but i hope that las Vegas doesn't run out of water 😂
Turn the irrigation off for a week and it would look like the Los Alamos blast zone. It certainly looks nice though.
They have coming what they deserve. Our residents of the White House and those who are flying often come to mind first.
I was... wow! That's beautiful! Really Green and Healthy....
Is that maintainable? Are decisions going to have made one day to choose from people needing water? Or this needing water? Because it seems to be a plausable scenario to me? Same goes with electricity. I think....
We have used the same percentage of the lakes water for 70 years. Only allotment of 2.6 percent. We give it all to CA
There’s also a super chill bar in So Hi. Sean Patrick’s 👍
Beautiful neighborhood.
I love that genuine reaction laugh! @10:00-10:20.
You'd think a real estate agent could afford a better mic.
I couldn't stand listening to her
@@carolynw3602 ugh, I'm about to click out
I love gated communities and planned communities. I would move there in a second
Many of them aren't even rich, they're loaded with debt.
Then there will be bargains when the economy reacts - which will be soon, taking the LV real estate market with it more so than most places.
Right on ☺️😂
Every dollar is issued as debt in the fiat currency debt based econonic system of the world. It's not patriotic, but takes care of it's ruling class in high luxury for a while longer to carry out the old money cabals' global agenda.
@@LL_SHAWN_P____ Being alone, get a studio apartment and rent I'd say as long as you're not in an overpriced place.
You end up paying less in not having the stress of maintenance.
If I go and buy today, I would have bought a condo, but then condos went like double price in the last 2 years. I'm thinking of moving to the mid-west at this point (work is remote), every other market seems overly inflated.
Secret: If your smart, debt can make you rich. Wal-Mart, Apple, Microsoft and many other rich people and organizations have loads of debt. It's called leverage. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I used to live in Las Vegas and Southern Highland and Summerlin are the two gems in Las Vegas
Great video, what about Lake Las Vegas houses.
Liked 💯👍
Nick, how did you get into this gated community? I'm told not to shower to save water, then I see these landscaped lots with no desert landscapes.
I know people :)
Do not confuse Downtown Las Vegas with Unincorporated Las Vegas, which includes the Strip. Downtown Las Vegas is the old Vegas: the Golden Nugget, El Cortez, etc.
I don’t think Southern Highlands is in Las Vegas. It is in the “Vegas Valley” but not in the actual city of Las Vegas
I do Solar in Las Vegas. The areas are Summerlin. Rhodes Ranch. Anthem. Lake Las Vegas. Tuscany. Spanish Trail. Green Valley. Southern Highland. Just to name a few.
Exactly
If you're visiting Columbus ohio this weekend. Saturday high around 30 with brisk winds&flurries. Sunday highs around 40& dont forget to turn clocks forward Saturday night before going to bed.
Wow!!! Grass.
Nick and Jacob together! Great video. And I work in Southern Highlands!
Cool Bryan!
Hi Nick! All the best to you.
12:50 Same with our community. One day I opened the mail to find a picture of our housekeeper behind the wheel and a message saying our guest was going 35 in a 25 and they fined us $100.
7:34 sometimes is too warm hahahah😂made me dying laughing
I love my neighborhood!!! I wouldn’t live anywhere else. My husband golfs every morning 👍🏼👍🏼
I live in Las Vegas spending my time in Red Rock Canyon - Hiking most afternoons and weekend mornings. It's usually 10-15 degrees cooler, there's water back in the Canyons. Then, I drive back to life normal to my gated community where we both work home-based. Same neighbors since 2009. Bot when these 5k sq ft homes were $275k during the crash. Now these are over $1 million. One thing we don't have a lot of is lawns. Just in the common area. All but 2 of 20 homes have total desertscape.
I retired in Mexico from California. The same thing is hapening down here people our moving to Mexico for the cost of living, wearher, and quality of life. You can purchase a home in a gated beach community for about 300K U.S. Our expat population has gone from about 1K to about 5K. in the last 3 years. We are starting to see younger people moving down here most our digital nomads or people that our pretired.
Did 10 years in Vegas/Henderson. GVR! Loved it. Thanks for the video.
What does GVR mean? Please
@@barbredgreen3403 Green Valley Ranch
Excellent Las Vegas video. Happy Holidays from our channel: Australian Parakeets Stars
What holiday?
I have to admit when Jacob, from Jacob's life showed up it totally blew my mind. I love both your channels so much. I need to check if you did like a companion piece where you went to the Naked City part of town while it's still here. I used to work near there and the homeless and prostitutes occasionally walking around noon would put Grand Thief Auto games to shame.
I lived in Cali till about 2006, at that time a home was 800K in southern Cali for about 2,000 Square feet, and about 300K in Vegas.
My home value went to under 95K 2 years after I bought it in 2007 during the housing crisis. It finally climbed back to 250K and kind of stayed there.
They built brand new 1 to 2 million dollar homes all around my house, literally there is a single wall that separates a million dollar home to my south and a 4 lane street that separate brand new 2 million houses to my west. On the positive side of that ... with home there, their are way less crazies going behind my house to do shit in the desert at night, people use to take drugs, create big fires, yell like crazy and ATV at 3 am like all the time during summer. One really f*ed up time a guy parked behind our house and shot his daughter and then himself, he had killed wife earlier in the day and had been driving around with her dead body in the car not knowing what to do... Anyway now it's way more quiet but occasionally those houses are like air BNB party houses, lots of parties during the pandemic in those houses, but they are build well so the sound is muffled well. But yeah, my property value is now 500K because of all that, so it gets way harder to complain. and they keep stuff clean and the crazies away.
The ridges, anthem country club, Olympia ridge and a few more.
You passed my old spot haha!
The guest said “mini government.” I love it that he didn’t sugar coat it.
The cost of living here is only cheap in the ghetto, but the gas is way higher then the Midwest. It's total chaos, with all these tourist and people moving here from different places, the insurance rates are through the roof because they have so many car accidents due to bad drivers and people thinking the roads are for Nascar drivers.
I like this beautiful home home
My aunt and uncle lived in Rancho Circle, back in the fifties....that was considered high-end then
Wow! That is green with grass. What happened to grass restrictions in front yards?
Done a couple jobs in Southern Highlands definitely a nice community but man the HOA is like the gestapo around there haha
Defiantly surprised you didn’t go to lake Las Vegas. It’s in Henderson but some crazy expensive homes there
We just bought our home in Henderson a few months ago. There are mega mansions here as well. Our gated community is between 600k to 800k with golf courses and a few retired ball players. Henderson is just as nice and exclusive as Southern Highlands and Summerlin. Husband owns a trucking company. Our neighbor is a retired pilot and another owns a car dealership.
Water? Who needs water?
Water those lawns!
Frank what about planet earth??? 🌎
nice! looks like L.A neighborhoods!😮
The masters of the city .
I am writing an American City History book, and of course I will be talking about Vegas on the Nevada chapter!
When I lived in Vegas 62-76, the saying was Henderson Stinks. I remember one of the big chemical fires in Henderson.
Not anymore
…huh… wait list for the golf club memberships.., while 2 of the golf clubs closest to my home, are basically almost public clubs .., starting to advertise on radio, and billboards, hoping ppl join. wow, wasn’t like that 5 years ago.
You and Mary are going to be shocked when someone shows you the Scotch 80’s, Rancho Circle, Rancho Bel Air and the entire Rancho/Alta area with the custom estates, large lots, mature landscape and in the heart of the city of Las Vegas.
Mary won't
Amazing how much water are needed to water their lawn & garden in desert drought
1:43 “Colin” McGregor😂
Wow interesting, never knew lol
I moved my family to Southern Highlands to escape the insanity of LA, and this was the best decision we made. It's an amazing place specially if you have small children. The best schools money can buy and the residents are the most welcoming and polite. Nothing beats the peace of mind of safety and top grade schools without the insanity you hear happening around the country. That alone is worth every penny.
LA has great private schools also
@@helloimclaudio Even private schools in LA are pushing ideology that isn’t inline with what I want children to learn at this young age. Plus the home invasions in affluent areas coupled with violent crime on the streets and homelessness everywhere you look from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica made the decision to move much easier and we are better off in a safer, cleaner and less politically motivated estate. Nevada is a very neutral family oriented place which is what fits our needs today.
@@flavioamaral0210 fair enough
Have beautiful area! I sure enjoy the video. Are there any 55 and older communities there? I think I would prefer that type of living.
Yes we have quite a few 55plus areas but they aren't cheap. Especially the newer ones.
I am in 55+ Siena Summerlin So. 22 yrs - love it
