Rhodes Ranch is a 1,330-acre guard-gated master plan in the southwest valley, ZIP 89148, off Durango Drive at Rhodes Ranch Parkway. Developer Jim Rhodes announced it in 1996, the Ted Robinson golf course opened in November 1997, and homes have been added in phases ever since, first by Rhodes Homes and later by Dunhill Homes and Century Communities. What makes it unusual is the combination. You get a staffed gate, a 162-acre golf course with lakes and palms, and a 35,000-square-foot recreation center with a water park, all at price points close to the valley median. In most of Las Vegas, guard-gated golf means a big jump in price. Here it often does not. The streets inside are private, the homes are mostly Mediterranean-style stucco with tile roofs, and the lots run on the compact side. If you want a golf view or a gate without paying Summerlin or Southern Highlands luxury prices, this is one of the first places I show. | Rhodes Ranch at a glance

Rhodes Ranch is almost entirely single-family detached homes, built from the late 1990s onward in several phases. Expect Spanish and Mediterranean styling: stucco, tile roofs, stone accents. You will find both single-story and two-story plans, and a lot of cul-de-sac streets. Lots are compact, generally well under a quarter acre.
The biggest price drivers are size and golf position. A three-bedroom interior home and a larger home on the fairway can be several hundred thousand dollars apart. Build phase matters too: a 1999 Rhodes home and a 2016 Century home sit side by side in the market but inspect very differently.
| Home type | Character | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller single-story homes | Three bedrooms, compact lots, earlier phases common | Roughly $375K to the mid $600Ks |
| Larger two-story homes | Four bedrooms and up, more square footage, some newer builds | Roughly the $500Ks and up |
| Golf-course frontage | Fairway and lake views on the Ted Robinson course | Upper end, into the $1M range for the largest homes |
| Newer-phase homes | Built by Dunhill Homes or Century Communities after 2010 | Priced on size and finish; compare to resale comps |

Rhodes Ranch was built around amenities from day one. The golf course came first, and the recreation campus behind the gate is included with your association dues. Golf is separate and runs on its own fees.
The R Club A 35,000-square-foot recreation center at 333 Rhodes Ranch Parkway with a fitness room, an indoor basketball court, racquetball, pickleball, billiards, craft rooms, a library and meeting space. | Fun Zone Water Park Part of the recreation campus, with slides and a lagoon-style pool, plus a lap pool, spas, lighted tennis and basketball courts and sand volleyball. |
Rhodes Ranch Golf Club An 18-hole Ted Robinson design that opened in 1997 on 162 acres, with eight lakes and more than 3,500 palm trees. It is open to public play and has a covered driving range. | Rhodes Ranch Town Center Neighborhood retail at Durango Drive and Warm Springs Road, just outside the gates, for groceries and daily errands. |
~$474K Median list price, per Movoto, September 2026 Movoto showed a median list price around $474,000 and about $252 per square foot in September 2026, roughly 3% lower than a year earlier. That lands right on top of the valley-wide existing single-family median of $475,000 reported by Las Vegas Realtors for August 2026. For a guard-gated golf community, that is the story in one number. Redfin's closed-sale data lined up closely: a median sale price of $480,000 and about $263 per square foot for October 2025, with homes selling around 2% under list and a median of 56 days on market. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year or two ago, which gives buyers room to negotiate and means sellers need to price with the comps, not ahead of them. Market figures from Movoto (September 2026) and Redfin (October 2025, latest period shown) are third-party estimates and change monthly.

It is managed professionally, and some neighborhoods inside the gates add a sub-association with its own dues. Golf is not included.

Rhodes Ranch had a rough middle chapter. The Rhodes Companies filed for bankruptcy in 2009, creditors took control in 2010, Dunhill Homes managed development for a while, and Century Communities acquired the remaining land in 2014. Building picked back up after that, and in 2017 six acres of the golf course were redeveloped for homes, which trimmed the course from par 72 to par 71.
Today it is close to built out. Most purchases are resales, with any remaining new homes on the edges of the plan. The area around it has grown up fast, with more shopping and services along Durango Drive and the 215. If you are buying now, you are buying into a mature community with a finished amenity package, not a construction zone.
The gate is the same for everyone, but the street, the build phase and the golf position change the experience a lot. Here is how I sort it with buyers.
You want a fairway view Target homes backing the golf course or its lakes. Check which direction the backyard faces and look at errant-ball exposure before you fall for the view. | You want single-story living Single-story plans are here, mostly in the earlier phases. They move quickly when priced right, so I watch for them before they hit the market. |
You want the newest possible build Focus on the Century Communities phases from the mid-2010s on. Newer systems, more modern floor plans, and still inside the same gate. | You want to be near the R Club Streets closer to Rhodes Ranch Parkway put the rec center and water park within a short walk on the community paths. |
The honest pros Guard-gated with golf and a large rec center at mid-market prices Quick access to the CC-215 via Durango Drive Mix of build eras, from late 1990s to 2010s | The honest trade-offs Compact lots throughout Association dues plus possible sub-association fees Older phases may need roof, HVAC or finish updates |
Build phase affects floor plans, finishes and inspection priorities. Here is the timeline from the public record.
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 1996 | Jim Rhodes announces Rhodes Ranch; 950 acres acquired from the Bureau of Land Management plus 380 acres privately |
| 1997 | Rhodes Ranch Golf Club, a Ted Robinson design, opens |
| 2004 | Rhodes Ranch Town Center retail opens nearby |
| 2009 to 2010 | Rhodes Companies files for bankruptcy; creditors take control; Dunhill Homes manages development |
| 2014 | Century Communities acquires Rhodes Ranch |
| 2017 | Six acres of the golf course redeveloped for homes; course goes from par 72 to par 71 |
Rhodes Ranch is served by the Clark County School District. Forbuss Elementary opened in the area in 2007. Middle and high school zoning depends on the address and can change from year to year, so always confirm with the CCSD zone lookup before you rely on it.
Because the streets inside the gate are private, transportation logistics can differ from an open neighborhood. Ask CCSD directly about bus stops for a specific address. Charter and private options are also nearby.
For California buyers, Rhodes Ranch is often the moment the math clicks. A gated golf community with a recreation center and water park, priced near the Las Vegas median, is a very different trade than what the same budget buys on the coast. Add no state income tax and a cap on property tax increases, and the monthly picture changes a lot. If you are buying from a distance, I can do video walk-throughs of homes and the R Club, pull the association documents up front, and time the inspection and appraisal around your sale back home.

Yes. Rhodes Ranch has staffed gated entry and patrol, and the streets inside are private. That is a big part of why buyers look here.
No. The Rhodes Ranch Golf Club is open to public play and runs on its own fees. Your association dues cover the gates, common areas and the R Club, not golf.

No. It has a Las Vegas mailing address in ZIP 89148 but sits in unincorporated Clark County, so county services and county planning apply.
Very little now. Century Communities built the later phases after acquiring the land in 2014, and the community is close to built out. Most purchases are resales.
Rhodes Ranch is served by the Clark County School District, and Forbuss Elementary opened inside the area in 2007. Zoning can change, so confirm any address with the CCSD zone lookup.
