24-hour guard-gated entry and roving security patrols, residents enjoy a secure, private environment ideal for evening walks and outdoor relaxation.
Is The Ridges Pet-Friendly?
For our clients moving from the gated enclaves of Medina or Newport Coast, pet safety is a top-tier priority. The Ridges offers the most dramatic backyard views in Summerlin, but requires a "Luxury Desert" approach to pet ownership.
The "Canyon Fortress" Advantage
The Ridges isn't just guard-gated; it's a controlled environment. However, because many homes back directly onto the Bear's Best golf course or open desert canyons, wildlife awareness is key.
- Large Lot Security: 1-acre estates in Azure and Silver Ridge provide enough space to build secure, aesthetically pleasing "pet zones" or custom-screened patios (catios).
- Golf Course Etiquette: Homes backing onto Bear's Best are "leash-only" zones to protect both golfers and your pets.
Exclusive Walking Trails
Club Ridges Loop: Well-lit, heavily patrolled by 24/7 security, flattest terrain in the community. Red Rock Proximity: 15 minutes from Red Rock Canyon trailheads for high-energy breeds.
