Community guide

What is it like to own a home with a casita in Southern Highlands?

A casita is the extra room buyers here ask about when family visits often, a parent is moving in, or someone needs an office with a door that closes on the rest of the house. In Southern Highlands it usually means one of two things: a small building across the courtyard or yard from the main house with a bedroom and a bath, or a suite attached to the house with its own outside door. The first shows up on the bigger custom and semi-custom lots, the second in newer production homes.

The rules matter more than most buyers expect. Southern Highlands is in unincorporated Clark County, and the county's development code allows one accessory living unit per lot alongside a single-family home. It can be up to 75 percent of the main home's living area on a lot under 10,000 square feet, or up to the size of the main home on a bigger lot, and it needs one extra parking space. On top of that, the Southern Highlands Homeowner Design Manual allows a kitchen and sleeping quarters in a casita but says it cannot be sold separately from the main house. So a casita here is for family, guests, an office, or a gym. Neighborhood associations can add their own rules, and the master association does not pass plans along to them.

For long-term guests or live-in help, a casita with its own entrance and bath is the most private setup you can get without buying a second home. For the bigger version with a full kitchen and living room, see Southern Highlands homes with guest houses, and for a second suite inside the house, see dual primary suite homes.

Before you buy

What should you check before buying a Southern Highlands home with a casita?

Confirm the casita was permitted and approved by the HOA, read the CC&Rs, and find out how its square footage was counted before you remove contingencies.

  1. Building permit and final inspection

    Ask for the Clark County building permit and final inspection for the casita, especially if it was added after the home was built. Unpermitted space can cause trouble with insurance, the appraisal, and your own resale.

  2. HOA architectural approval

    Ask for the Southern Highlands Community Association approval for the casita, and the neighborhood association's approval if there is one. Each reviews plans on its own.

  3. Kitchen or wet bar

    The HOA manual allows a kitchen in a casita, but it still has to be permitted. Check what is there against the permit, especially a cooktop or gas line added later.

  4. Its own systems

    Find out whether the casita has its own air conditioning unit and water heater, how old they are, and how it is metered. A small unit that runs all summer is a cost to plan for.

  5. Square footage

    A listing may or may not include a detached casita in the home's total. Ask how it was measured, and expect the appraiser to report it apart from the main house's living area.

  6. Insurance

    Get a quote for the exact address with the casita disclosed. A detached casita may fall under the policy's other structures coverage, which has its own limit.

  7. Privacy and access

    Walk the path from the casita to the main house and to the street. Some open onto the front courtyard and some only through the backyard, and that changes how it works for a long-term guest.
