MacDonald Highlands
MacDonald Highlands, situated in the foothills of the McCullough Mountains in Henderson, Nevada, enjoys a reputation as one of the prime residential communities in the Greater Las Vegas area. Prestigious homesites of varying sizes are clustered around Dragonridge Country Club, with an 18-hole golf course designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky. The distinctive course capitalizes on its desert setting, with canyon vistas, rock croppings, arroyos and elevation changes highlighting its design. While the majority of homes are single-family custom designs, the gated community also offers luxury townhouses and condominiums. Custom residences may be oriented toward dramatic natural vistas of mountains or valley, or frame stunning vistas of Las Vegas valley and dramatic nighttime views of the Las Vegas Strip. MacDonald Highlands’ homes represent the attainment of "the good life," with an emphasis on creature comforts and family enjoyment. Developers and builders are also committed to sustaining and preserving the region's natural beauty. Design excellence and creative architecture are the norm, for both existing homes and new construction.
