Community guide

What is it like to live in a gated neighborhood in Southern Highlands?

Southern Highlands is not one big gated community. It is a master plan of dozens of neighborhoods, and most of them sit behind a gate of their own off the open main roads. That gives you two layers: the community as a whole, with its parks, trails, and a roving courtesy patrol run by the master association, and your neighborhood, with its own gate and its own association.

The gates are not all the same. Inside Southern Highlands Golf Club, three entries are staffed 24 hours, guests are checked in, and the roads are private. Olympia Ridge adds a second gate inside that. Outside the club, Royal Highlands, Tuscan Cliffs, and The Foothills are guard gated too. Most other neighborhoods, including the newer ones like Cortona, The Cove, and The Legends, have a code or remote gate with no one on duty.

Which one you want comes down to how you live and what you want to pay. A staffed gate means a person between the street and your door, guests on a list, and deliveries checked in. It also means higher dues, since the guard staff and private roads are in the budget, and a short wait at the gate at busy times. A code gate keeps through traffic and solicitors out for much less, but it opens for anyone who follows a car in.

Either way, the gate is paid for through the association, and in Southern Highlands that means at least two of them: the master association, which is modest, and the neighborhood association, which runs the gate and varies a lot. Inside the golf club, add the association for the guard gated area. Ask for every resale package before you compare two homes on price alone.

One more thing to know: a home can be in a gated neighborhood and still back onto an open road or a park. If privacy is the reason you want the gate, look at where the lot sits, not just how you get to it. For gated communities across the valley, see Las Vegas guard gated homes.

Before you buy

What should you check before buying a gated home in Southern Highlands?

Confirm what kind of gate the home is behind and when it is staffed, then read every association's resale package before you remove contingencies.

  1. Guard gated or gated

    Listings use the words loosely. Drive to the entrance and see whether a person is on duty or it is a code or remote gate. Inside the golf club, ask whether your neighborhood adds a second gate.

  2. Staffed hours and patrol

    Ask the association whether the gate is staffed 24 hours or part of the day, and how the master association's roving patrol covers the neighborhood.

  3. Every HOA resale package

    You will pay the Southern Highlands master association plus the neighborhood association, and inside the golf club, the association for the guard gated area. Ask for each package with current dues, the reserve study, special assessments, and transfer fees.

  4. Who pays to fix the gate

    Gates, cameras, and private roads wear out. Look at the reserve study for what is set aside for them, and ask whether a special assessment has been discussed.

  5. Guest, vendor, and delivery rules

    Find out how guests are added, whether there is an app, and how ride share and deliveries get in. It matters if you host often or plan a remodel.

  6. Golf club membership

    Living inside the golf club gates does not make you a member. Membership is separate and optional.

  7. Insurance quote for the exact address

    Premiums vary by street, roof age, and pool. Get a quote on the actual address early.

Questions, answered

Questions people ask about gated homes in Southern Highlands

Is Southern Highlands a gated community?

Most of it is gated, neighborhood by neighborhood, but the main roads through the community are open. A few neighborhoods are guard gated.

Which parts of Southern Highlands are guard gated?

Southern Highlands Golf Club, with three entries staffed 24 hours, and the neighborhoods inside it, such as The Masters and Olympia Ridge. Royal Highlands, Tuscan Cliffs, and The Foothills are guard gated neighborhoods outside the club.

What is the difference between gated and guard gated?

A guard gated neighborhood has a staffed gatehouse where a person checks in guests and vendors. A gated one opens with a code, card, or remote, with no one on duty. This page shows both.

Yes. Cortona, The Cove, and The Legends are gated with no guard.

Do I have to join the golf club to live inside its gates?
