An upscale, private enclave in the hillside

With scenic mountain views as its backdrop and a short drive to the Vegas Strip, Calico Ridge offers the best of both worlds. South of Lake Las Vegas and at the foothills of Sunrise, Frenchman and River Mountain ranges, this Southeast Henderson custom-home community is an outdoor lover’s dream. While it may be small, Calico Ridge treats residents to luxury homes on the hillside and is ranked in the top four neighborhoods in the city, scoring highly on safety, median income and home values. “With the community set on the desert hillside, Calico Ridge truly seems worlds apart with its serene atmosphere and surrounding mountain views,” says Jonathan Catalano, Realtor for Live Better in Las Vegas, serving the area for over 19 years and a Las Vegas resident for over 35 years. “Locals generally don’t visit the Las Vegas strip much, and Calico Ridge, being set in the far South end of the valley, offers residents an escape from the big city with the feeling of being immersed by nature and the outdoors.”

Tuscan homes with panoramic mountain and city views

Developed from the late 1980s into the 2000s, today, Niche ranks Calico Ridge as the ninth-best neighborhood to live in Henderson. The quiet suburb comprises two subdivisions, Tuscany Village and Lakeview Estate, and features approximately 400 Mediterranean-style custom and semi-custom homes and single-story houses between 1,900 and 4,000 square feet. Most were built in the early 2000s and range from $450,00 to $4 million, with lot sizes from one-quarter to one-third of an acre. “Home values are higher than the average in Las Vegas due to the community's location, views, home designs and exclusivity,” Catalano says. “Values today range from about $500,000 into the multimillions.” Lawns are meticulously landscaped, complementing the dessert surroundings with towering palms and cacti. There’s also a separate RV parking area for those with oversized toys. Residents are treated to unmatched views of the mountain ranges and the Strip and most have multi-car garages and large pools. Higher-end homes are secluded and built into the hillside for ultimate privacy and peaceful living. Many of these million-dollar homes have negative edge pools with swim-up bars, elevators, Lake Las Vegas views and access to the nearby country club. Most homes in the neighborhood come equipped with pools, multi-car garages and backyards, with all the amenities prime for entertaining. “Homes have a very relaxed, almost vacation-like atmosphere,” Catalano says. Calico Ridge’s guard-gated Tuscany Village, a 526-acre master-planned community, is designed to look like an Italian village. Filled with single-family and townhouses, each home is different, and most come with spacious layouts, gourmet kitchens and private courtyards.

From golf and pocket parks to a wetlands preserve

Opportunities to explore the outdoors abound, with diverse community parks, trails and nearby lakes for boating, swimming, and fishing. At Mountain Lake Park, which is themed to reflect the Mojave Desert, kids can climb on giant, colorful lizard sculptures. The park also offers bocce ball, picnic tables and open turf fields perfect for pick-up games. Or shred some pavement over at Tuscany Park, in the heart of the neighborhood. Residents can also play tennis, basketball and stroll around its walking paths. And nature lovers don’t have to travel too far to enjoy their surroundings, as Clark County Wetlands Park is just along the northern boundary at the edge of the valley’s eastern mountain ranges. The 2,900-acre park is the largest in Clark County, home to a 210-acre Nature Preserve and five trailheads. The park is also home to over 300 species of birds and 70 mammals, including coyotes and bobcats. Explore three habitats in this oasis filled with cottonwood trees, a desert pond and the Rainbow Gardens Weir. And its nature center provides diverse programs for children and adults. “It’s part of the Las Vegas Wash, which feeds into Lake Mead,” says Catalano. “it’s a wonderful place to spend the day hiking and exploring the number of ponds, trails, marshes and meadows.” The Wells Trailhead is located within this park and leads to a scenic overlook over the wetlands. Its Duck Creek Trailhead connects the Wetlands Park trail system to other trail networks in the valley for hikers who want a more intense trek through nature. Of course, just a short drive away, hikers and cyclists can hop on the River Mountains Loop Trail, a 34-mile gem delivering scenic views and glimpses of the Mojave Desert. This trail connects to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and other parts of the Las Vegas Valley. Golfers will love having Chimera Golf Club in the neighborhood; an 18-hole, 72-par championship desert course play against a sweeping backdrop of The Strip, Downtown Las Vegas and Mount Charleston. Located in the guard-gated Tuscany community, the club also offers Slice 19, a full-service grill, bar and driving range. Tuscany Recreation Center is next to the golf course, which offers state-of-the-art amenities. Residents can get a workout at the full-size gym and fitness center outfitted with free weights and aerobic equipment, basketball, tennis and racquetball courts and a swimming pool. Those looking to take a dip in the water outside don’t need to go far, as Lake Las Vegas is just over the northern boundary 3 miles away. “It’s by far the most popular attraction,” Catalano says. “It’s a freshwater lake that rises like a mirage out of the southern Nevada desert. “They rent out paddleboards, kayaks and electric boats, but you can also just relax on the beach.” The lake is surrounded by a Mediterranean-inspired village that offers restaurants and shops for the perfect day or weekend trip.

Chimera Golf Club is a 6,906-yard, 18-hole golf course designed in 2003 by Ted Robinson Jr.

JAMÓN JAMÓN is another popular local spot, serving tapas, paella and other traditional Spanish comfort food with an old-school vibe. At night, Just LeDoux It Saloon & Steak Out Las Vegas is the go-to spot, a no-frills watering hole serving classic pub fare, steaks, upscale whiskey libations and other cocktails with a western vibe. Groceries stores like Albertson’s and Smith’s and other essential shopping are nearby along Lake Mead Parkway.
