The ultra-wealthy in Las Vegas live in several places. We thought the extremely wealthy folks lived in gated compounds or on a lakefront lot in a guard-gated golf course development. Then, about 10 years ago,  development hit the mountains with panoramic city views. Red-rocked mountains and city light views were added to the guards, water, and golf combinations. That was my thought until Astra at La Madre Peak opened late in 2025.

Astra at La Madre Peak is an exclusive guard-gated community with no water, golf, or city views. Residents will build custom homes on custom building lots that cost $7 million an acre. The new “IN” place to build a dream home is Astra at La Madre Peak. Let’s make an appointment and go see it!

The Sultan of Brunei built a $200 million compound in Spanish Trail in Southwest Las Vegas about 20 years ago. It was recently sold for $25 million to an investment group. In the last 20 years, normal Las Vegas real estate tripled in value. Wish it were listed on the MLS, but it appeared as a newspaper article.

🌊 Is Buying A Waterfront Home A Good Investment?

During the financial recession, the value of homes in Las Vegas went down about 50% in the Las Vegas Valley. What didn’t go down in value were the houses in the three area lakefront developments. No other neighborhoods escaped unharmed. There will never be another lake development built in the Las Vegas area due to water restrictions. How much is “uniqueness” worth?

🏡 What Are The Best 55+ Communities In Las Vegas?

There are a lot of “Best 55+ communities in Las Vegas to choose from. It really depends on: Where do you want to live? Do you want a guard gate? Do you golf? How much do you want to spend? New Construction or resale? We have a list webpage with all of the larger retirement communities and links to our page about each. If you want a guard gate, you want to see Regency in Summerlin, Los Prados, Sienna, and Heritage in Cadence.

For golf, Sun City Summerlin has three different courses and four community centers. You’ll never get bored with golf in Summerlin. There are also Sienna, Sun City Anthem, Sun City MacDonald Ranch, Solera at Stallion Mountain, Los Prados, Aliante, and Del Webb Lake Las Vegas. Los Prados is unique in that it offers both family living and a 55+ section. Los Prados provides separate community centers and pools.

Aliante has golf and is a block from a large hotel and casino. With no lake or waterfront homes, Trilogy in Summerlin is upscale, offering Strip views and elevators in townhouses. Their rec center is high-class with happy-hour bocce ball and Strip restaurant gourmet chef classes. My favorite 55+ neighborhood is Regency in Summerlin. The houses are modern, some with views. Guard-gated and an upscale community center. The ones not on our list are less expensive without golf or a guard and have lower HOA fees.

There are new 55+ homes in Lake Las Vegas, but in June 2026, a new 3000 home development opened by Pulte and Del Webb in Henderson. The other new 55+ development currently is Trilogy in Sunstone in NW Las Vegas. What are you looking for? Let’s talk!
